Hey there!
I think if you really want to whip through them, getting them *done* (and then adding special touches and elements later) you could approach it in one of two ways:
1. Create a folder for each week/month. Choose your favorite photos from each time period & copy them in. Also add in the weekly/monthly cards, etc that you're using, and background papers. I've discovered that organizing this way really cuts down the process of getting these things on the pages. I use a Wendyzine action for this -- not the one with the PL templates included, but a different one.
2. Go at it from this angle: open a bunch of your templates that you're going to use. Open the backgrounds you want to use. I know some PL scrappers like to cut down on complications by using the same background or pack on all their spreads. Include your date card (if you are using one) and add that, too. *Then* go through and add photographs.
I also do what Melanie has done, which is use a kit that connects to the time of year, and do that. However, I'm finding even if a kit inspires me, I still like to locate everything into one folder (all copies) and then delete the folder when I'm finished adding everything to the page. I think Wendy of Wendyzine calls it "Powerscrapping" or a variation of that method. After the pics and basic stuff are on the page, you can go back and add the stories/notes, and final touches.
And hi! It's great to see you around!
