I challenge you....

to do a quick page with me.  Promise, it's quick!  It took me 15 minutes at the most & I talked to Kelly & Bridget & even gave them a tour of the re-designed classroom!

So, quickly:

• Grab 4 4x6 photos that go together.  Don't be picky, just grab them.
• Now grab 3 pieces of scrap paper...come on, you know you have a stash.
• You'll need 1 12x12 white cardstock...a journaling pen...a corner rounder...adhesive...your paper trimmer.
• Grab a pack of chipboard letters that you've already used some of.

Now you're ready to start!

Trim your photos to 4x4 squares like this:

 

Corner round only the corners of your photos that are on the outside corners (only one corner per photo will be rounded):

 

 Now cut a piece of your scrap paper...I'm not giving you measurements because it doesn't matter...honest...just cut a wide strip of one paper and a thinner strip of another like this:

 

Corner round the outer edges of the strips.  Adhere the photos down.  But NOT the strips yet...because if your dense like me, you'll make the margins between the photos too big & the strips of paper won't line up.  So you do this:

 

Cut the strips in 1/2...place them where you want them & fill in the gap with a little piece of your 3rd cardstock & wahlah, it's fixed :)

Now pull out those chipboard letters that you have leftover from your last project:

  

adhere your title...my page says "pals" because I didn't have the letters for whatever word I'd originally thought of...but you can also alter the existing letters to make your word work.

Now take your handy dandy journaling pen & *GASP* outline around the edges of your paper.  This is also the point I realized that I should have corner rounded the white paper, too...so do that now.  Then outline :) and add a bit of journaling.  Doesn't have to be deep...just something quick.

And now you have a completed page...in no time flat!

 

Email me your completed page...or post it to your blog.  I want to know how long it took...and what you thought of the challenge...kinda fun, don't you think?

Oh...Sherry & Bridget? You two should make one, too...and bring it in to share :)
