Layer by layer, day by day.
I can even do it when I watch my kids do their homeworks. I can leave it at any moment (when the kids suddenly fighting and need a referee a.s.a.p? Yeah, that kind of moment).
Then on the other day I have 45 minutes left before I tuck in the kids to bed, I do this part :
For this page, I even don't know what picture that I want to scrap. Just play and glue all the pieces together, and don't forget to put on the foam tape to add some depth.
For this layout I choose the picture now because it had to go under the upper layer of paper border.
Leave them all there all night long. The paint certainly need time to dry before I add anything else on them, and I certainly need time to sleep.
And do the journaling , if you still have 10 minutes more...
For some scrapbookers, this part may be their favorite part...adding the embellishment and detail!!! Yay!!! So maybe you have to wait until you have 1 or 2 hours free time before you do this part. Because I do! Talk about productive weekend nights...
And I finally find the perfect photos for this layout :
On Sunday morning, all I need to do is take pictures of my three finished layouts before I go with my family to do our ritual grocery shopping. In beautiful morning lights...
Both type of work suite me good. But the secret to this layer by layer type, you should pick paper/layout with the possible one color/one tone result, so you can only open one color of acrylic paint.... you can only take out one color of thickers for title.....and one colour of cardstock for matting.... That's really saving time.
Hope you find something useful from this post.
Have a nice weekend.
