Calvinball 2016

March 5, 2016 By Melissa Shanhun Leave a Comment

Hello There Lucy Project Life AppCalvinball 2016Are you ready for a crazy, fun ride scrapbooking furiously for the month of March? I am!

After warming up with Lain Ehmann's last Layout a Day (never fear Alice Boll will be running future LOADs!) I'm continuing my scrapping and I want you to be in on the fun!

My first page did double duty as LOAD29 and Calvinball Layout 1, due to the whole time zone thing. (I'm in Australia) and I've got a long list of pages to do this month.

In honour of Calvinball, I'm republishing this episode of the podcast to explain the whole thing!

Doris & Celeste's Take Away Tips

The key to scrapping fast is to remove as many decisions as you can from the process. The fewer decisions you have to make, the easier it is to get things done.

On the flip side of that, if you aren't in to getting things done quickly Calvinball is still for you. After just a few days it's like this treasure trove of ideas and people spurring you on. So even if you don't want to complete a large number of pages in a month there is still a benefit from Calvinball.
