As a mom, my time is valuable. I use to take several hours to create a scrapbook layout and now have looked that that time differently. I might have a few hours to scrapbook, but whipping out as many pages is now my goal!
Using Heidi Swapp's Storyline Chapters albums helps save time because the albums come with base pages. These pages are acid free and designed to add photos and a story.
Another time saver is deciding a design for a layout and creating several pages that are similar. Here I have created two layouts with one way - side by side photos.
I usually keep my images 4x6 because it quick to print from home or have printed at my local printer. So, with this design of putting 2 4x6 images side by side keeps me from wasting time overthinking it!
The first layout is matted with some basic scrapbook paper. Card paper pads can even make this matting job faster! The title runs along the left side for a fun look.
The second layout is quickly put together with stickers. I usually like to type my journaling but when I am creating Storyline layouts I am making sure to remember that it is going to be important for my children to see my handwriting one day. These journaling spots on the bottom of the page help keep my handwriting in a controlled space, Ha!
This is simple yet a great way to get 2 layouts done in under 20 minutes! It gives me such satisfaction to get these pages into the kids' albums.
You can find Heidi Swapp Storyline albums at JOANN and online. Please note that this is not a sponsored post and all these designs and ideas are my own.
Stay tuned in to for a few more ways I am using Storyline to scrapbook pages in under 20 minutes.
