Featured in the newsletter each month, The Shaker Box will highlight a sketch created by Mickey McGowan that is based on a design from one of our designers. This month's sketch is courtesy of Mickey herself and involves small embellishments, layering and a focal picture. .

We hope these layouts inspire you to look at sketches in new and different ways than before! Remember, you can turn the sketch sideways or even upside down. Just use your imagination! Here are just some of this month's layouts using the sketch to the right.
