I took over 100 photos in two days on my birthday weekend. My goal is to scrap them quickly using Anna Aspnes WaterColor Template Album No 2 http://www.oscraps.com/shop/WaterColor-Template-Album-No.-2.html

These templates are so quick and easy to use. I'm going to select them in order, put in my photos, and get these pages done!
This first double page is Template No 1, with the FotoBlendz mask duplicated and expanded, and the stains duplicated and expanded, so I could blend the double page photo spread. (I have to mention being influenced by Diane Smith's beautiful album on Iceland and Scotland...please see her post on Fans of Anna Aspnes on Facebook, this book is stunning and includes many double page photo spreads.

Other Supplies:
ArtPlay Palette Beach (transfers, elements) http://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Palette-Beach.html
ArtPlay Palette Oasis (background, recolored) http://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Palette-Oasis.html
ArtPlay Palette Aspera (transfers) http://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Palette-Aspera.html
ArtPlay Palette Ocean Cove (transfers) http://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Palette-Ocean-Cove.html

font: Simply Glamorous, Century Gothic

After expanding the fotoblendz and placing photos on the page, all I did was add some background transfers, including an image of our hiking map, and some elements and journaling. Not that this didn't take me 2 hours, but hopefully the next one will be faster, now that I've picked out my ArtPlay Palettes (a tip Anna gave me once for speeding thigns up...pick a palette or two and stick to them).
