45 Minutes or Less

Can't believe I actually squeezed in some scrapping this weekend! Yes, I swapped much needed nap and cleaning time.... but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Sometimes I thank my lucky stars that I am a fast scrapper. Maybe it's all those years I spent being a professional artist for TJ's.... I am so used to completing projects and moving onto the next one lickety-split.

These two layouts were done in 30-45 minutes. Using kits like these two from Studio Calico helps speed up the process. Everything is already color co-ordianted and ready to go. I just choose a photo and start placing paper and embellishments....

For this one I wanted to use ink (My favorite is Sprinklers by October Afternoon) to play with the idea of paint splatters, like the subject of the photo...

So glad I made time to create a couple of layouts (even if I messed up on the journaling on one-- sleep deprived, anyone?). I HAVE to print out some new photos asap though, because I have so many ideas for scrapping Dez.... be forewarned, my other kids may start to seem like chopped liver... it's only natural when you have a newborn, right? He's inspiring me............ to go get some sleep.
