LET'S SCRAPBOOK!!!!!!!

Ok…Who says you don't have anough time to make a great layout?? Well…I'm usually the one saying that, but NOT this time!! LOL I decided that with all the nice weather lately, it's more likely that we'll be spending ouR time outdoors making the mEmories that we'll wanna scrap, rather than scrapping inside with the sun shining bright!! Sooooo - Here's something that I want everyone to do along with me :) k?

This challenge is for all those "fallen behind" scrappers…you know who you are :) the ones who answer the "scrap much lately" question with a long pause and a sigh…Yup - you're the ones I'm referring to :) Well…my little un-scrappers - pay very close attention, cuz we're gonna get 3…yup - countem THREE layouts scrapped this week…and we'll do it in about 5 minute increments :) So - by the end of the week, some of you will have scrapped more in 1 week than you have in the passed month!! (or at least I hope you will anyway ;) If at any point you spend more than 20 minutes on whatever you're doing...STOP!! The key to this challenge is to do little bits at a time...baby steps with big pay off in the end so don't over do it and burn out on me...k??

Redy...set...here we go!!

Step 1: Take 5 minutes and Getcher stuff ready :)
Even if your room is a total write off, you should (at the very least) be able to collect together your "basics"…that is - adhesive, trimmer, scisors etc….This should only take a few minutes, then you're done for tonight :) That's it :) When we start collecting cardstock etc. We'll slide that stuff into the empty pages of your album.

Ok - now…No more for tonight!!! We don't want to over-do it and if you're anything like me, you've got waaaay too much to do to have time to do more anyhow ;)

Ok - ok...fine then maybe that was a little too little...

If you're feeling SUPER keen, you can also pull together the following;
3 pieces of cardstock for backgrounds (1 black, 1 dark brown and 1 tan)

AND….If you're feelin Super FREEKY KEEN, you can also grab 3 recipe cards.

Ok - I mean it this time...for real!! That's it!!!!!

Tomorrow night, I'll post the next step. Between now and then, though, think about the pictures you'll use. Remember, these are Quick and Easy pages…don't grab your sentimental pictures for a deep, intense, thought provoking layout…that's not what these pages are for…these layouts are for…"you ate a bug" pictures…orrrr…"Your first rug burn"….orrrr - anything light hearted that you want to scrap but haven't really made the time for….Think about the title for your layouts as well...

Ok - ok…I know myself well enough to know that there's no way on earth I'd be able to stop yet, soooo - for all you EXTRA SUPER FREEKY KEEN Un-scrappers, here's the LAST step that I'm going to give you tonight…

Pictures - you'll need:

1 black and white 5x7 Portrait format pic (meaning up and down, not an actual portrait) to go with the black cardstock

2 black and white 4x6 landscape format pics to go with the dark brown cardstock

1 color 4x6 landscape format pic....goes with the Tan cardstock.

Ok - now THAT'S IT!! NO MORE!! That's enough creative "stuff" for 1 night, now stuff cardstock, pictures and recipe cards into empty pages of your album and go do something else :)

Chatatcha tomorrow Scrappy People :)
