Page Toppers and Journaling
Here are some examples of creating quick
pages with page toppers and journaling.
Using bold colors and texture can create the illusion of more
time spent putting a page together. A lot of page layout take a long time because of extra space
needing to be filled up. Use
big blocks of color to fill these spots rather than lots of die cuts or
stickers.

When you do quick pages,
you don’t necessarily want them to look like they didn’t take any
time to do. So the trick is either to hoard products (like me!) or
think out exactly what you want to do while you are still at the store.
There is nothing more frustrating than to be missing a supply when you
go to do a page. Setting up how you’re going to do the page is
usually half the battle.
