It's Tuesday, and that means it's my day to post over at The Crafting Family! Today I have a layout of my daughter and our Fresh Air Fund daughter making some yummy 4th of July treats.
Yes, this is another one of my 20-MINUTES-OR-LESS layouts- I simply won't allow myself to spend more than 20 minutes on a page now that I know it's possible!! I've had many people ask how I get a layout done in under 20 minutes, here's how I get my groove on:
- I search through the list of My Favorite Blogs for the latest challenges to see what would work (sketches, color combos, themes, these all help give me a creative boost).
- I pull any papers/embellies that might work. This includes cardstock, ribbon, journal cards, pattern paper- anything that might fit with the photos I'm scrapping.
- Set the timer for 20 minutes, stop over-thinking everything and just GET SCRAPPING!! Now, keep in mind that #s 1 and 2 are part of my planning, we'll call it pre-scrapping, so I don't count that in my 20-minute deadline. I could spend hours (and often do) online looking at ideas, but the challenge blogs really help to get me focused!
So, do you think you're ready to give the 20-MINUTES-OR-LESS challenge a try? Head to your craft room and give it a try. Then blog about it, post your own layout and then leave me a link to your post here in the comments. Don't forget to include my cute little 20-MINUTES-OR-LESS photo in your post, and I would LOVE if you were a follower of my blog too! One lucky commenter will receive a little packet of goodies from me- I'll draw the winner on November 1st!! =) T

Seriously? You created this in under 20 minutes? Amazing! Everything works so well together! Glad that you chose our Unscripted sketch to showcase your beautiful project!
ReplyDeleteWow - I am inspired by your 20 minutes or less challenge. I'm going to give that a shot!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Unscripted Sketch worked for you. The page is really cute and I like how you incorporated the colors in the patriotic shirt by adding the baker's twine. Nice touches throughout. Thanks for joining us this week!
I'm having fun and want to share another 20 minute layout
