With this sketch you can create a background with inks, spray inks, or paint or even patterned paper.
The photo could be one larger photo or two smaller photos. A stacked title off to the right is a great way to balance the patterned paper & photo on the left. You can add journaling stripes, hand written journaling, or printed journaling under the photo.
Supplies: Collectable-Notable:

My nephew is very close to my kids. They grew up together as my sister & I were always together. I love the relationship these three have. When Jake comes out for the summertime, they are inseparable. I am overjoyed that they feel like almost siblings and not cousins.
To create the background, I used my stencil and distress inks. Next I layered the yellow patterned paper over the journaling card. I added a bit of washi tape on the journal card for color and another design element. Those arrows were just perfect!
I decided it needed another
strip or two to balance the color story so I added flower strip and
number strip to the layers. Before I glued everything down, I sprinkled
the background with black paint splatters.
I
thought a title would look great off to the right so I used the
backside of the 'Love This' Adore patterned paper to ground the title. To create
the stacked title using the today stamp “a good day” I masked off each
word with post it notes.
All around the edges I stamped different images & words using black ink to bring the page together. The layout needed some texture so I used the decorative brads and enamel dots scattered around the page.
I am always ok with hand written journaling because it gives future generations a bit of me on the layouts.
Enjoy the sketch, can't wait to see what you come up with!
