Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6
I don't know about you, but this always happens to me the same way: After coming back from Christmas vacation, I always seem to have tons of photos that I want to scrap, but I never have tons of time to do it! (I can see some of you nodding your heads out there; you know exactly what I'm talking about.)
So what's a scrapper to do? Turn to the products that will make digital scrapbooking faster, easier, and much more convenient, of course! For starters, try out the Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 products! There are lots of ways that this product line can help you get your digital scrapbooking done quickly and beautifully.
First, scrapping on a 4x6-sized layout means you don't have to use as much energy in decorating the page, since the photo will usually take up most of the space. This smaller size actually lets you focus more on completing many layouts without having to add a lot of page elements.
Second, you can use the Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 individually or you can mix and match them. Let me show you what I mean:
For this first layout, I decided to see how fast I could whip up a layout using just one set of AYO Zoom Pages. I chose Amanda Sok's Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 So Basically and worked just from that product. Once I had decided which photo I was going to use, it took me about 20 minutes to put this layout together, using papers, embellishments, and word art from the Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 So Basically. It really was that easy!
(And it would probably be even faster if your computer behaved itself, which mine did not!)

For my second layout, I decided that I wanted to mix and match a lot of different Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 to create more variety in my layout. To do this, I simply copied the files that were included in each product and pasted them into a new folder. That made it possible for me to see all of the papers, embellishments, and word art in one place. That way I could pick and choose whichever pieces I wanted.
Here's a screenshot of my folder where I copied all of the files. (It's up to you if you want to copy the files or move them completely. I like to keep the pieces of collections and AYO Zoom Pages together, just in case, so I copy the files to a new folder. But you could just as easily move them all to one folder so that you don't have duplicate files taking up a lot of space on your hard drive.)

And the best part about it? Because of the way our file naming system works here at Scrap Girls, I always know which flower belongs with which Assemble Your Own Zoom Pages: 4x6 group!
Here is the second layout, where I chose almost every item from a different group of AYO Zoom Pages. I love the variety of styles that the various products have, as well as the great way they work together.
Whether or not you have all your decorations packed away, you can still make some headway on your piles of digital pictures in no time at all... just check out the AYO Zoom Pages 4x6!
