Scrap Orchard's Make It Scrappy - July 25, 2008

Welcome to our first Speed Scrap here at the Orchard! Are you ready?! I am MIS Speed Scrap and I will be your host for this evening (ha ha)
I hope you are as excited as I am!

How it works

There will be a total of 7 steps. I will post a new step every 10 minutes for one hour. Please be sure you read the entire instructions! Once the hour is up and all the steps have been posted, you will have one additional hour to finish up, upload your LO's to the gallery and post a link to your LO
back in this thread. I will take a peek at your LO, leave you some love and then you will receive the participation gift.

Free'bee' did you ask?

Of course! You know we wouldn't just leave you without something for your effort did you? Each participant will receive this mini-kit made by the awesome Shauna of Pineapple Plantation Designs!!!
I don't have a preview for you yet, but as soon as I do, I will be sure to post it!

Also, two lucky scrappers will receive a $$ gift certificate to shop in the Market. Woo Hoo!!

So grab your coffee and/or wine and join me for two jam packed hours of scrapping and fun! Don't forget to stay for the Road Trip Chat following the Speed
Scrap!

The winners of the Gift certificates will be announced sometime during the chat, so you don't want to miss it!

I'll give you one hint! Shauna and Ellie's new collab, Summer Lovin' will make this Speed Scrap a cinch for ya! Right now you
can grab it from the shop at 20% off!!!

Choose 3 papers, one must be solid, blue and you must use it as your background. The others can be anything you wish.

[~Cathi~]

[fa11enan9e1]

[jemenifer22]

Ok, so the solid blue paper must be the background (or just blue) and after that only 2 additional papers..

[Fairytale_Studios]

[~Cathi~]

Its my first one too jemenifer, so you're not alone LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

Ok, so the solid blue paper must be the background (or just blue) and after that only 2 additional papers..

Can you tell this is my first speed scrap?

lol no worries hun - yes the solid blue paper must be the background - the other two can be anything you wish!

[scrappinmint]

funny how my kids want more attention now than they did a few minutes ago!!!

[~Cathi~]

[jemenifer22]

[jemenifer22]

Know just what you mean! And DH disappeared on me (not that he can do anything about the little guy wanting to be permanently attached to mommy at the moment)

hahahaha!! My 4 yr old should be easy, she has a Leapster video game now, it's the 11 month old that's killin me!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

ok girlies - round 2!!!

1. Get those photos out! You must use more than one photo on your LO. You can use as many as you want, but it has to be more than one photo.
Choose 3 papers, one must be solid, blue and you must use it as your background. The others can be anything you wish.

2. Place your background, take one of your other papers and make it into a shape. It can be a mat, a paper strip, circle, star - whatever you wish, just so it isn't square. Select the same number of frames as pictures - they can be the same or different, but you need to frame each photo.

[theSassyScrapper]

I'm here! I almost missed this! Totally forgot what time it was. I do have lasagna in the oven, but other than that, I'm ready to scrap!

Question? Does the product have to be ScrapOrchard?

[sassypixie323]

I'm here! It took me a while to figure out where I was going!!! Duh!

[mickey032]

I'm all set and ready to start

[scrappinmint]

OMG, I'm lost already. Remember I'm old and slow. Someone pass the darn chocolate!

[sassypixie323]

hahahaha!! My 4 yr old should be easy, she has a Leapster video game now, it's the 11 month old that's killin me!!

Me too!!! Actually the 4 year old is driving me nuts too!

[Fairytale_Studios]

I'm here! I almost missed this! Totally forgot what time it was. I do have lasagna in the oven, but other than that, I'm ready to scrap!

Question? Does the product have to be ScrapOrchard?


nope! of course we would like it to be, but you don't have to !:icon_rotate:

[Fairytale_Studios]

ready for the next one?

[jaye]

OMG, I'm lost already. Remember I'm old and slow. Someone pass the darn chocolate!


3 papers-blue solid must be background
Photos- more than 1 photo
one paper turned into any shape but square
each photo must be framed

[Ellie]

The chocolate is at my house, ladies. Where are you? I guess I'll have to eat it all myself. lol

[fa11enan9e1]

I'm kinda glad this isn't as hectic as the SM ones. LOL! THough I WOULD like it to be a little more hectic. ;) Eh. It's our first one! There's always next time!

[fa11enan9e1]

The chocolate is at my house, ladies. Where are you? I guess I'll have to eat it all myself. lol

*pouts* Meanie!Ellie! LOL.

[jaye]

Ellie, I'm a tad far..............don't think Ontario Canada and Arizona are quite next to each other, LOL.

[jemenifer22]

While we're passing out the chocolate, I'll take some....and is it HAPPY HOUR yet?

[sassypixie323]

The chocolate is at my house, ladies. Where are you? I guess I'll have to eat it all myself. lol

Don't tempt me! You know I am in driving distance! HEHE!

[Fairytale_Studios]

*pouts* Meanie!Ellie! LOL.

NO NO!!! Save me some, lol

3. Arrange your photos on your LO, anyway you wish, but one of your photos should be straight.

[jaye]

well we are in an Orchard.........we have all the makings for something fruity and fresh

[tiffany scraps]

I'm trying to keep up but I am afraid I'll keep changing my mind and maybe would be better off if I wait and try to bang it out in the final hour lol.

[Fairytale_Studios]

I was gonna post the next step, am I goin' too fast for you gals? Remember you will have an hour after this over to wrap up your LO's :)

[scrappinmint]

I'm trying to keep up but I am afraid I'll keep changing my mind and maybe would be better off if I wait and try to bang it out in the final hour lol.

I'm thinking the same thing. My computer keeps bogging down and I keep forgetting to refresh. Then when I do I get lost in the conversation. Good grief. And who said some are more hectic! No way I would survive those!

3. Arrange your photos on your LO, anyway you wish, but one of your photos should be straight.

4. Border at least one of your photos. It can be a string of beads, a swirl, anything to go along either the bottom or the side of the frame. Take the last paper and use it either as a journaling strip or as a paper strip behind your photo.

[fa11enan9e1]

Haha Tiffany that's what I always do at Speed Scraps... I kinda start.. but mostly just wait. :P

[tiffany scraps]

Good to know that I am not the only one lol! I just have to know exactly where I am going unless I am completely doing my own thing - that is just how my brain works lol!

[scrappinmint]

Haha Tiffany that's what I always do at Speed Scraps... I kinda start.. but mostly just wait. :P

Yep, that's what I'm going to have to do. Photoshop doesn't like company on my computer. I can't be in the forums refreshing and posting and use photoshop at the same time. :(

[~Cathi~]

Oh my, LOL EEEEEEEK

[jaye]

I picked my papers first............just now picking the photos.

[Fairytale_Studios]

Good to know that I am not the only one lol! I just have to know exactly where I am going unless I am completely doing my own thing - that is just how my brain works lol!

lol I do the same, I just get everything pulled and ready - although this time I'm trying to keep up, pretty sad when I have the directions!

ok......next step!

1. Get those photos out! You must use more than one photo on your LO. You can use as many as you want, but it has to be more than one photo.
Choose 3 papers, one must be solid, blue and you must use it as your background. The others can be anything you wish.

4. Border at least one of your photos. It can be a string of beads, a swirl, anything to go along either the bottom or the side of the frame. Take the last paper and use it either as a journaling strip or as a paper strip behind your photo.

5. Choose 6 elements. You must include a ribbon and button, and at least two of your elements need to be unique(not duplicated or re-colored). Embellish your LO.

[tiffany scraps]

My computer allows me to be both places and I really am going to try to do it this way - following along - just cuz it is a good challenge for me.

[nof007750]

Can I still join? Went to T-ball and it was cancelled....

[theSassyScrapper]

I've got my papers and photos, but now it's time to take dinner out of the oven! :)

[Fairytale_Studios]

Can I still join? Went to T-ball and it was cancelled....

Yep you can join in! You will have the rest of the scrap and an hour after to finish your LO :)

[fa11enan9e1]

You can totally still join!! If you have time to finish then go for it!

I've joined speed scraps after all the instructions have been posted. LOL.

[Fairytale_Studios]

6. Choose either a font or alpha and add a LARGE, one word title. Position it anywhere on your LO, but make sure it catches the eye! -make it BIG and bold!!

Question: Can I border the top of my photo?

[~Cathi~]

If we use font, can we colour it with papers???

[Neverland Scraps]

Boy that's a lot to take in!
Im getting Veggie Tale on and hopefully I can scrap something---Im a little confused about the papers.
We are only allowed three papers.
One MUST be a background.
One must be a mat or paper strips
One must be a journal block/strip or strip behind the photo
Not other papers?
I think I got lost with the papers---and wasn't that one of the first things assigned?! :D

lol sorry for the confusing directions, lol you can use as many papers as you would like, however you have to use at least three. One must be used as your background and it must be blue. The other two papers can be solid or patterned what ever you wish. One must be a shape, the other must be a paper strip or journaling strip

does that help?

6. Choose either a font or alpha and add a LARGE, one word title. Position it anywhere on your LO, but make sure it catches the eye! -make it BIG and bold!!

7. Last step!! All you need to do now is choose either to date your LO or to add a quote - choose, do, save & submit!!!

TADA!!! Let's see those LO's!!

That was the last step! Now you have one extra hour from now to finish up your LO's. Remember to upload them to the gallery and come back here to post a link!

I really enjoyed chatting and scrapping with you gals and I hope you like your finished creations and enjoyed yourself as much as I! You gals RAWK!

[scrappinmint]

Great job Mellisa! Thanks!
I even got halfway done already. I might have lost the conversation along the way but at least I got something scrapped. Now just a little adjusting and final touches.

[Neverland Scraps]

yes that helps Mellisa!
Thanks....off to find a kit that works with these requirements ;)

[Ellie]

Mellisa, can I journal something or do I have to use a quote?

[syapotter]

You wouldn't mind me playing with you guys right? Off to find my photos and papers.. :)

[Fairytale_Studios]

Your welcome girls, I hope it wasn't too complicated! Remember to upload your LO's in the gallery and post a link back here so I can take a peek at it and leave you some luv!!!!

[jaye]

Thanks Mellisa that was fun............now I'm off to fix my layout :)

[Fairytale_Studios]

Mellisa, can I journal something or do I have to use a quote?

Ha ha Ellie, I said a quote, but I will slide and let you gals journal instead!

[jemenifer22]

Ok, another question....going back to the paper thing, sorry - can my 2 pieces of paper BOTH be paper strips??

[Ellie]

Ha ha Ellie, I said a quote, but I will slide and let you gals journal instead!
That's why I love you! You let me cheat! lol

[Fairytale_Studios]

I will promise you gals, I will make the next one less confusing, hee hee, hope I didn't scare you all away!

[nof007750]

Thanks...it was fun....Now to perfect this thing!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Ok, another question....going back to the paper thing, sorry - can my 2 pieces of paper BOTH be paper strips??

well technically, ha ha one paper was to be a shape - BUT as long as it isn't square it's still a shape right? :icon_blaugh:

I won't tell if you don't!:devil2:

[tiffany scraps]

Did you care if I border the top of my photo?
If you don't answer lol I'll just do it anyway!

[jemenifer22]

hahaha, I'll go through a shape in there!

I had a lot of fun!! Looking forward to the next one already! Mine should be up shortly!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Did you care if I border the top of my photo?
If you don't answer lol I'll just do it anyway!

lol I'll answer - but you can, wanna know a secret? I ended up doing that and didn't even realize it till you asked!!! :eek2:
