Free Scrapbooking Sketches for Backwards Scrapbooking

Backwards scrapbooking is simply coming up with what a scrapbook page about an event will look like before the event even takes place.
The Benefits of Scrapbooking Backwards:

1. 1) You can think about your focal point photo. Do you want it vertical or horizontal?
2. 2) You will know how many supporting photos you will need.
3. 3) You can be thinking about your journaling while the event is taking place.

Getting Started:
Why not give it a try? Choose a sketch from the three free sketches shown below, or from the many galleries containing sketches here on About.com Scrapbooking. As you gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving (or any other event that is important to you such as holidays, birthdays, or even everyday moments such as playing at the local park) take the photos you will need to fit the sketch. Jot down some notes for filling in the journaling boxes on your scrapbook page design. When the event is over, print your photos and complete the scrapbook page.
