I have been in the mood for some quick and easy layouts lately. I also want to make a dent in my supplies. This next layout will do both and it will take you under 30 minutes!
Supplies
2 project life cards-3×4 inches each
1 4×6 photo with a portrait orientation
letter stickers and embellishments

The design is really quite simple. I stitched a few rows across to create a band. To save time, I used my sewing machine. I then placed the photo in the center of the band and added the 3×4 cards on either side. The most difficult part of the layout was deciding which cards I should use.
Choose cards or 3×4 scraps to coordinate with the photo. Keep embellishing simple to save time. I layered scraps strips of paper and buttons onto the cards. Ink the edges of the cards for a more finished look.
