Kelly usually take between 1-1.5 hours to complete a layout. Every now and then though she likes to challenge herself to get a layout done much quicker. So her challenge to you is to create a page from start to finish between 30-45 minutes. Gathering supplies, papers, and photos doesn’t count towards the time frame.
