One of the ways I try to maximize my art therapy time is to work on several projects in one seating. Like if I have my hot glue gun and pretty embellishments out, I will make a few tags and mixed media canvases. I incorporate different elements to make them distinct but if you are really observant, you can tell which projects were actually done in one seating. [Clue: When I'm obsessed with an embellishment, I will use it over several projects till I get it out of my system or till I run out of it...*LOL*]
I think it speeds up efficiency because you are "in the zone". *winks* Here are the four projects I did in one seating using two sheets of patterned paper of the same design.
I love the graphic print of this We R Memory Keepers patterned paper which I got from my Xyron design team stint. It was the perfect backdrop for my fun photos. One patterned paper used up! :)
Next I made a tag. I needed to use spring colours so I added some pink and yellow.
Then I thought the patterned paper would look nice covering a sturdy box.
Of course, the pretty gift box needed a matching gift bag so I recycled an old paper bag.
There you have it, 2 sheets of patterned paper = 4 different projects in one seating!

Wow! Omgosh, those are stunning, Yvonne! Love the idea of using just a minimum of paper supplies to make a ton of projects. These are all SO amazing!
These are absolutely gorgeous - and make the perfect gift set! Have a great weekend.
It's nice to know I am not the only one making four things at once with hot glue...and it make me extremely happy to see these projects all together! Do love that green paper you used...hoping there is still some left ;-) Hugs!
