Mimi 8x8 page

I am having fun with the Quick Quads scheme - and adding it to an 8x8 size page - which is my FAV size to scrap. Not to big - not too small - and best yet I can use my 8 1/2 x 11 papers for the base of the page! I have used pieces from a Mimi Simply Savvy Schemes Page kit for this spread.
I made 2 6x6 Quick Quad pages and then added them to the 8x8 pages butting them up to the inside edge of the spread. Under the 6x6 I layered some different sized pieces if Coordinating Mimi Cardstock. I also used the Office Notes Stamp Set from The Angel Company which makes journaling in a pinch a BREEZE!

Another TIP: When creating a Quick Quad that will be totally cover with pictures (Like the left side page) Don't use your good paper and cardstock. We ALL have TONS of papers that we don't like any more, right? Use it up! No one will be able to see it anyway! You can also use it for the right side page - because it is totally covers also with 3 3x3 pictures and one 3x3 pattern paper square. Genius!

adding to a bigger page

Not everyone scraps 6x6 - I know. The beauty of the Simply Savvy Page kits is that they can be converted to alternate sizes! They will fit onto 6x6, 6x9, 8x8, 9x9, 8 1/2 x 11, and 12x12!
Here you see a page I made with the Quick Quad Scheme 2. Just 2 pieces of pattern paper in the corners of a Kraft 6x6 page.
Now you can take that page and add it to a 12x12 page.
SO what I do is create the 6x6 pages - these i put into albums for grandmas and grandpas. Then I take the same page and add it to a 12x12 to put into Laney's Album. Brilliant right? Actually I make 4 of the 6x6 page and then 1 12x12 all at the same time - and the 4 pages go to all the grandparents albums that I compile each year and give to them for Christmas. I work on it all thru the year - and actually do a lot of it in November of course!

Here is another 12x12 page that has a Quick Quad 6x6 added to it.
For this Quick Quad I wanted to keep one of the pictures 6 inches long - so i cut it to 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. Having it cut that way makes it take up 2 of the 3 inch squares on the page. Coolio!
