pixels2Pages

Sometimes you are short on time, but you still want to make progress on your projects.   The quickest way to complete a page is to start with a Blueprint, template or pre-designed page, but sometimes you want to satisfy a creative itch. Here we pulled together some of our simplest offerings that are big on design, but require little time to create.  This selection of offerings is meant to help Artisan users of all levels create beautiful pages in minimal time.

Most of the layouts featured in this section of the Resource Guide are Bright Ideas or videos and are considered Creative Know How.  They are broken up into several categories. Some of the offerings will be listed in more than one category, as people search for things in different ways.  We have tried to cross-reference as much as possible.

Note: Offerings that are available to the public are marked accordingly.  Most of the offerings featured below require a pixels2Pages Membership.   Members should log in to their membership before clicking any membership links.  CLICK HERE to become a pixels2Pages member and gain access to all of the offerings featured below.Clicking on the links without being logged in to a valid membership will result in an error message.
