Session #4 - 12 Months to Memories

Welcome to Session 4 of 12 Months to Memories ~ Scrapbooking for Busy People!

If you’ve been feeling the tension between wanting beautiful pages and needing to scrapbook quickly — this session is for you.

Today we’re focusing on how to scrapbook fast without sacrificing style.

Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more time.
You need a simpler system.

What We’re Doing in Session 4

In this session, we’ll create a double-page layout using:

  • Using Products designed to speed up our scrapbooking process, and create beautiful pages.

  • I’ll be using Creative Memories Birthday Jubilee F2Fab Pages, but don’t worry, I’ll show you a fast way to mimic the wonderful design.

  • The goal isn’t to rush. The goal is to remove decision fatigue so you can finish.

When you have fewer choices, you move faster — and your pages still look cohesive and polished.

Why This Matters

Many scrapbookers get stuck in one of two places:

  1. Spending too much time perfecting every detail

  2. Avoiding scrapbooking altogether because it feels overwhelming

Fast scrapbooking bridges the gap.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Make confident design choices

  • Keep your layouts balanced

  • Finish pages in less time

  • Actually move forward in your albums

Progress builds momentum — and momentum builds confidence.

What to Bring

You only need enough supplies for one double-page layout:

  • 4–6 photos

  • Coordinating cardstock or patterned paper (2–3 colors)

  • Basic adhesive

  • Embellishments - these are vital to this layout.

  • Title supplies

That’s it.

No new shopping required. Your stash is more than enough.

Before You Start

Take 5 minutes to:

  • Choose your photos

  • Pick your papers

  • Set aside only what you’ll use

Limiting your supplies helps you work faster and stay focused.

Remember

You are not behind.
You are building a system.
And every finished layout counts.

I can’t wait to scrapbook with you.

Happy scrapbooking,
Diane Gutierrez
