This morning I decided it was time to organize some of my desk drawers and while I was sorting through office supplies, I had the inspiration to scrap a layout using some of them. I knew immediately what I wanted to scrap about - Robbie's work the past year and a half as he earned his MBA degree. I pulled several photos I had taken of him studying and set to work.
I had so much fun using staples, paper clips, file folder labels, spiral notebook paper, a highlighter and a hanging file folder tab for this layout.
This layout came together is less than an hour - amazing what can be accomplished when inspiration stikes! I hadn't planned it, but this layout also fills the requirements for this week's layout assignment in The Mother LOAD workshop to scrap a layout in 30 minutes (I wasn't timing myself, but it took me somewhere between 30 minutes & an hour).
One reason it was so easy to use these products is because I have an ABUNDANCE of them . . . so, I've decided to share. Would you like to create a layout using fun office supplies? If so, tell me in the comments the topic of the layout you would use them on and you could be the lucky winner of a goodie pack of fun office supplies (colored file folder labels, paper clips, fun binder clips, etc). I'll draw a name at random from all comments left by noon (CST) on Tuesday, August 2! [This giveaway has closed.]
What a clever idea for this layout. Nicely done. And I can't believe the two of you decluttered so soon after he finished. You want to come to my house and help me clear the decks, apparently you are a natural.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout. I love office supplies and seeing them used on a layout is wonderful. You did a great job capturing the work he did.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I bet I could scrap a page about TTO at the Language Olympiad with some nifty office supplies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun layout, loving the use of stationery. Bet you're feeling so pleased wth your clear out
ReplyDeleteLove this layout idea Melissa! I plan to go through my University boxes as well over the next few weeks to declutter :) Perhaps if I should win your draw I could combine what I discover from my boxes of notes and textbooks and create a layout as well!
ReplyDeleteDon't include me in the drawing (I have a surplus!) but very cool use and super job on the decluttering :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable layout and a great use of supplies! Don't include me in the drawing - I have enough office supplies to sink a battleship!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant (and speedily satisfying) page. I love the way you crossed out "sleeping"! He worked very hard and you must be very proud.
ReplyDeleteThanks to this post I have learnt a new word - "scantron" - and discover that I have already used a patterned paper version (from Cosmo Cricket's Boyfriend collection I think)! I love using office supplies - they're great for school/college/university pages! Not sure I'd ever use them for a page about work though - that's best forgotten!
