Hello Scrappers!! I’m so excited about the response Project Mouse is getting. It sounds like many of you are ready to dive into Pocket Style scrapbooking and document your memories – both Disney and non-Disney alike. I want to thank everyone for their support of Project Mouse on its debut and tell you – you are going to LOVE what’s coming next!! Definitely stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Today I thought I’d give you a page breakdown about how I put together a Project Mouse layout. <\/p>\n


\n<\/center>
\n
\nI know when I first started trying out this style I found myself a little stuck on just how to “make it work” as my pal Tim Gunn says. Maybe this will help!<\/p>\n

Here’s the page I scrapped tonight:<\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/center>
\n
\nI actually timed myself because I was curious how long I currently take to put together a Project Mouse style page. If you remember – one of my goals in creating pages this way was to see if its really as quick and efficient as I think it is!<\/p>\n

\nGoals of my experiment:
\n1) To see if I like Pocket Style enough for an entire album.
\n2) To see how much I miss creating and then looking at traditional pages in my trip album.<\/i><\/span>
\n–>  3) To see how long it takes, and if pocket-style is really as quick and efficient as I think it is.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nOnce I had picked out my photos, I set the timer and went to work. <\/p>\n

I edited my photos (brightened them up and ran an action<\/a> on them), decided on my arrangement and got my page laid out. I was already to this point only 11 minutes in!!<\/p>\n

\n
\nThe rest of the page took another 40 minutes. So 50 minutes total. Not too shabby, BUT<\/b> I know I could have been much faster. I got hung up on my title and a couple other dumb things. Plus, I have to keep in mind I’m still getting the hang of pocket style scrapping. The more I do it, the faster I’ll get. Also, journaling takes time. Writing it, getting it placed right, etc. So if you’re not big into journaling, your pages can probably be done MUCH quicker.<\/p>\n

Ok – let’s get to the BREAKDOWN!!<\/p>\n
