Use a 4 X 5 1/4 piece of patterned paper and 

cut an oval using the green cutter blade  (2 1/2 x  3 1/4) of the same template in the upper center so you leave room for the bow below.

Fast 2 Fabulous in 5 minutes

Need to get some scrapbook pages done quickly, but don't have the time?.. Well, Fast 2 fabulous pages are a great way to go.. you can just add pictures and journal and be done, or you can custom it to your liking. There are lots of themes, and some can be used for any occasion, or just day to day. I used the Full Bloom collection. All the pages are preprinted.

Check out my video to see how easy it can be.

I added peekaboo pockets, which are great for photos, mat packs and even memorabilia, such as game tickets, birthday cards or that special drawing or art work  that you want to keep.

Here are some of the supplies I used for the layout

Here's some more ideas on how to use the collection

One layout two ways - Imagine the possibilities

Imagine the possibilities that you could do with this layout. I've created 2 layouts, one with the imagine collection, and one with Archiver's™ digital collection. Supplies for both layouts are available to buy thru Creative Memories 

First up, the traditional method, with the imagine collection.

Love all the colours.  They are so vibrant. Great for any occasion, theme park trip, birthday or celebration. 

For this layout I used 

• 4 - patterned papers ( 2 for cutting and 2 for the background.. but can do the layout without the background papers and create directly on Creative Memories refill pages if you like.)
• 1 -  12x12 cranberry cardstock
• 2 - mat pack cards.
• imagine stickers to embellish
• black sticker letters

Some tools I used 

• straight trimmer
• border maker system, with the new arrow border cartridge 
•  CCS with 4" and 4.25 " circle template, using red and green cutters
• scissors for cutting the flags.
• foam squares 
• tape runner and repositional tape runner ( not shown.)
• black pen ( not shown)
• multi-purpose tool to help put on sticker lettering

  You will also need 2 - 5x7 photos and  1 - 4x4 photo.. but can adjust layout to suit your needs.

Cutting instructions for patterned paper 

Cutting instructions for solid cardstock

after cutting cardstock use the border maker with arrow punch and punch 2 rows of arrows 

after use your straight trimmer and cut at the 1.25 mark and it would give equal paper on both sides

use the CCS to cut a  4x4 circle for photo ( red cutter) and 

4.25 x 4.25 circle for patterned paper (green cutter)

assemble all papers as shown

add sticker title, mats, and journaling

add other stickers and embellishments as desired.

Foam squares can also be put behind items to add dimension. 

TIP : the repositional tape runner is great for those small bits and  borders with intricate designs.

Doesn't show white tape. No mess. Just wipes of your table or paper.

also can take off and on your page, to move to desired location on your layout.

Next UP! The Digital version using Archiver's ™ Kit

you can order this digital kit thru Creative Memories

you can have fun playing with this digital layout 

You can use your favourite program or software that can except JPG and PNG files.

The nice thing about digital is that you can resize, rotate, and make shadows. You will never run out your favourite paper or that letter "E" that always seems to be needed, as you can paste it on your layout as many times as you like.
