Hey, 

As in a rough mock up of a design. 

You may be sketching an idea or producing scamps, so rough designs of some of your ideas, normally quite
quick designs, getting your ideas on paper. 

Cheers Ben

I understand scamps to be a thing that graphic/visual designers do - it's a sketch with visual
design.

Scamps are to Photoshop for graphic designers, what sketches are to Axure wireframes for UXDs.
