Happy Friday Bo Bunny Fans!
How long does it take you to create a scrapbook page? Some of us can whip up a layout in the blink of an eye. Some of us take hours and hours, maybe even days to complete one layout. With that being said, we challenged our designers to create a layout in ONE HOUR or less. Yes, you read that correctly...ONE HOUR! And they did it! It was quite a struggle for some of them, and those that really struggled shared some great tips on how to speed up your process. Let's see what they created!
First up we have a super artsy layout created by Mahlin. She does admit that the gesso (the white paint) took some time to dry, but while it was drying she punched out her circle embellishments and created her frame and title pieces.

This bright and summery layout by Luzma was kept clean and simple using pre-made embellishments and border stickers. This allowed her to create her gorgeous handmade flowers and still complete this layout on time.

Designer Tips: So I challenged myself to actually do this layout in a
half hour....didn't make it....BUT I did manage it in under an hour!
Here are my tips for doing a quick layout:
~ I started by choosing
an old l/o of mine that I liked the design of and chose to copy the
design (I find a lot of my scrapping time is spent on creating the page
design and positioning my embellishments. Working off an old l/o helps
cut off loads of time.
~ On my original l/o I did a lot of machine
stitching, for this one I simply used a brown and black pen to imitate
the stitched lines.
~ I often make my own blooms for my layouts, in
this case I used ready made but you can also create your own in colors
that you often use and keep them ready to go in a jar.
~ Gather
together all your components for your layout and have them ready to go,
it's easier if you stick to one collection's papers and embellies if you
really want to work quickly.
~ Be organized. If you pull a pen or
scissors etc. from your tool jar, put them back when you finish with
them, I can't tell you how much time I waste looking for my tools under
scraps of papers and embellishments!
~ I often save the backing to
flourish stickers/chipboard and use them as masks, I keep them in a
handy little zip-lock back within easy reach.

such as punches and ink. This will also give your simple layout more
dimension.
