Made In Minutes-My Creative Time


Hello and happy Monday! Its been crazy busy at our home with all of our Summer activities going on. It feels like we have been non stop since school let out two weeks ago, yet the kids are starting with the "Im bored" stuff…So during the summer I figure I can catch up on some layouts. I love the Make in Minutes My Creative Time Challenge because you only have 20 minutes to finish a project. So I timed myself and I took exactly 15 minutes making this layout.  I tend to pre cut all of my die cuts in bulk because when I smash or do some Project Life, I want to make it quick and easy. So I have this huge stash of die cuts and miscellaneous items on a tray. I tend to reach for this tray at all times. So it was very simple for me to make this layout! There are several MCT products used in this 8 by 8 layout. And I LOVE layering all of Miss Emma's products! So much fun! 

Let me tell you a little about my title. I was hanging out with my sister the other day and I decided to take a "selfie" of me and my youngest daughter. My sister corrected me and told me it was called a "USIE" if there is two people taking a picture and "GROUPIE" if its a group. I started laughing and thought about how goofy that sounded. So, here is the picture of our USIE. lol

Here is a picture of my plastic tray. I found this at the dollar store. So far it has been working for me! 



Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you visit the rest of the design team for more inspiration. Also, I have started my Summer Smash series on youtube if you would like to follow along.  You can find it here. Big crafty hugs!

  4. Super job on your USIE page. :D I like how you are totally fearless with the writings...I am working on it. Thanks for the update on Selfie, Usie and Groupie...I had not heard this one and now I know. Nice tip about your tray. It does help to have the extra cuts out to see. For me if they are out of sight I don't remember to use or this is helpful to try different things. Love this idea and super job on your page.
