Let’s face it…we’re all busy. Maybe with different things and at different stages in life, but we’re all busy! Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE my creative scrapping time, but if I can cut down on the amount of time it take to finish a layout, I’m all over it. Here is an idea to help cut down on actual layout time so hopefully we can accomplish more in the time we have to scrap.
USE A LAYERED TEMPLATE!! Sometimes I want to create my own design, but sometimes when I have a lot of photos, I love to use a good template. It makes thing go so much quicker, and they are so flexible. I had a bunch of photos of my kids’ favorite artwork from last year and I didn’t feel like re-inventing the scrapping wheel with each child’s work, so I used my 
Art By Me layered template available at pcLayers.com and whipped these babies out super fast. And I’m happy with how they turned out, too! =)
