Apolo Ohno has shown that getting the job done fast can mean getting the job done right. The same can be true with scrapbooking—fast and easy layouts can also be high-impact layouts. Try out your speed scrapping with one of these quick but quality pages. Just as Apolo earned the gold one lap at a time, I’ll show you how to complete these pages in just four laps:
Lap 1: Photos
Lap 2: Blocks
Lap 3: Border Strips
Lap 4: Embellishments
Use the specs below for each lap to help you on your way to completing these gold-medal pages.
