This time of year is so busy, isn't it? There are so many things going on. We've got school events, work gatherings, parties to attend, shopping to do, holidays to prepare for and participate in.... Sometimes it's hard to find time to do it all! But we don't want to see your scrapping and crafting suffer. So this week our theme is "30 minutes or less". We've got some great pages and projects to share that can be done in less than 30 minutes!!
Cindy has 2 pages to share with us this week. This first one is just so cute! The construction of this page is simple and quick, but the impact is lasting!! Cindy used photos of her son and his grandmother at different times, but in the same basic pose and props. She cropped them to the same size and aligned them on the designer paper. She placed a heart (in a color that coordinates with her son's outfit) as an accent. Then added a title and journaling. Fantastic memories recorded in no time!
This second page by Cindy is colorful and a great use of scraps of your favorite designer papers. Cindy used the strips of paper to create a mat that really brings your attention to the photo. She add a bit of journaling on a piece of paper, added a few elements for detail (apple and tags) and used the teachers name as the title. Another special moment in life recorded!
Pam shares this beautiful, bright page with us. She cropped each of the bird photos the same size and kept with a blocked design to help speed up the process. Using paper strips as accents and a few die cut elements adds some shape and interest to the page. Pam added some stitching around the edges for a little texture.
Anupama created this quick page. She used a great combination of designer papers to give her page a feel of traveling, vacation and leisure. She tore the travel icon paper and layered it over some striped paper. She added a touch of cardboard below her photo. Using small letter stickers, Anupama was able to quickly add her page title. A sweet wreath made from twine adds dimension to her page.
This is a digital page that I made in a jiffy. I used some plain paper in the background. I added some digital stamps on top to make it look like a designer/patterned paper. The double frame was an element in the kit. I duplicated it to create a row of four. The word art made a great title and journaling all in one.
This is a quick Christmas card that I created. It's made from plain red, white and green card stock. I cut the white to look like a door and layered it. I added an inked wreath and bow. A black brad made a perfect door knob. A quickly made card with lots of holiday spirit.
We hope these samples give you some inspiration to create pages when you are short on time!
Beautiful! I have to say... it would take me at least 30 minutes (and tons of wasted paper) to stitch on my layout as nicely as Pam did!
