Hot New Product: Almost Done Page Kits

Rebecca Creates School Pages in Minutes
Using Page Kits from Hot Off the Press

Like many scrapbookers, I have too little time to work on my pages, but I still want each of them to look like I took hours. When I saw the Almost Donetm Page Kits from Hot Off the Press,  I thought that they might just be the answer for many of the layouts that I need to create this year. The first kit that I tried out was the "School Page Kit" and here are the results.

The kit comes with 6 sheets of 12x12 papers, 11 3-D coordinating embellishments, and a cardstock sticker letter set. In order to complete my pages, I added photos and this small list of supplies below.

Additional Materials Used:

Transparency Sheet - Office Max Brand
Brass mini-brads - Scraparts
Font - Georgia
Trimmer and Adhesive

The Pages:

The albums that I have for each of my girls are 8 1/2"x11". I make a page for these books every year that showcases their back to school pictures.

End Result:

I was able to complete two 8 1/2"x11" pages for my daughters' albums in 29 minutes, including the time it took to print out the journaling on a transparency sheet. The pages are ready to be slipped into each girl's album and look adorable.

The Left-Over's:

Of course, if you are going to pay the suggested retail price of $7.99 (US) for a page kit, your first question will be "How many pages can I complete?" Below is a photo of all the pieces that were still left when I finished my two pages. I could easily do a 12"x12" two page spread, or make gift cards for their teachers, or use the remaining pieces on several future school layouts.
