Back to the old drawing board? Not if you’re here for Pages In A Pinch! Why do all the drawing, if someone else can do it for you? There are some very general subjects that are tailored to meet the needs of the masses, and make pages in no time!

The first two layouts are done by using pre-printed titles. In Birthday Bash, I used the title from Cock-A-Doodle Design and pre-printed dies. By pulling from the colors in the photos and title, I used different colors to mat and accent the photos.

The next layout is a product called "Over-alls" by EK Success. It’s an inexpensive way to make a quick page. The top and bottom come together and you cut them apart and use them for either an 8 1/2" X 11" or 12" X 12", and they give you a guideline for you to cut on. Quick and easy!

For Halloween layouts, you can make a quick page by using patterned paper and a quick title. Now, I will probably get some complaints that the titles aren’t so easy. If you stamp letters on a strip of paper, you can cut them out in random shapes quickly. Don’t try and make them exact, just adhere them in different angles. With the cute row of pumpkins on the bottom, you just can’t lose.

Sometimes the hardest part of the title is finding something interesting to say. In What’s For Dinner, you don’t want to distract from the main course! Filling in the letters is quick if you follow these instructions: start with the lightest color first, then the next color, and finish off with the darkest color. Add a dangling spider for spice.
