Tips for faster scrapping and Christmas Layout

With the arrival of my little sweetie, I need to budget my time carefully. Since I still want to get some srapping done, here is what works for me

• use a kit
• use a sketch (here I used #190 from Creative Scrappers)
  
• switch off facebook, email, skype etc to really focus on the LO.
  
• use fast embellishments such as stickers, brads, trinkets , rub ons, flower vines, etc
• use glue, which does not have to dry
  
• stay away from paint, stitching etc
  
• use pre-made titles
• journal by hand

This layout took 40 minutes to make. While it is not an amazing piece of art, it still preserves the memory of a special Christmas (aka the walrus Christmas) and I had some "me time" which I need for my mental health.

What are your tips for faster scrapping? I would love to read about them!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

All the best,

Elisabeth
