Lately I have heard several of my scrappin pals say they struggle with using sketches because they don't have the right number and size of photos.
The beauty of sketches, is that you do not necessarily need the same number of photos or size of photos to use a sketch. I use my sketches as more of a starting line. A way to get my creative juices flowing. finding the right sketch for your photos can be tricky, but only if you limit yourself to copying the sketch exactly. try turning it on its side, splitting a photo space into two photos, or replace a journaling space with a photo. This sketch asks for 6 photos - three vertical and three horizontal, but I had nine photos, and six of which I wanted to cut down. So instead of using the three horizontal spaces for three larger photos I cut them down and used the space for the six smaller photos. You have to learn to think outside or in this case inside the box...
