Super-Fast Pages with 4x6 Photos 2 from Creating Keepsakes helps wanna-be fast scrappers achieve this technique.
The special issue is divided into three main chapters:
Chapter 1 - Layouts with 1-2 Photos
There are 34 layouts included in this chapter with a nice mix of 12 x 12, 8 1/2 x 11 (vertical and horizontal), and even a double-page spread or two!
Chapter 2 - Layouts with 3-4 Photos
In this chapter, there are 27 layouts - again with a good mix of layout sizes. Naturally, there are more double page spreads included in this chapter.
Chapter 3 - Layouts with 5+ Photos
20 layouts make up this chapter. Not surprisingly, this section is comprised entirely of double-page spreads - even one with TEN standard 4x6 prints!!
There are also several special features and sections to add a little more 'meat' to this special issue:
Finish it Faster: These tips are included with EVERY layout. It either points out a product in the layout that helped the artist finish in a flash OR makes a suggestion for how an element or technique could be achieved in a faster and/or easier way.
