[meejay]

[jemenifer22]

I'm here...wiping morning gook from my eyes, but I'm here!!! :-)

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol jemenifer, I was about an hour ago before I had coffee!! So glad you ladies could make it!

Did you all see in my post about the photos? If you haven't:
Photos:
Please choose at least 2 photos. You will actually end up with three photos on your page, however you may duplicate one if you wish.

We are going to be creating a page where all the photos will be in the center of your LO.

[~Cathi~]

:hyper: these are so much fun! Thank goodness I managed to have a nap this afternoon otherwise I'd be missing it all!

[Jennifer]

ooh. waiting for more!

[jemenifer22]

The coffee pot just made its final swish, so I'll brb! :-)

[tiffany scraps]

I'm here too

[Fairytale_Studios]

mee too, I'm gonna grab coffee, get your photos together and the kits you are planning on using. I'll be posting the next instruction in about five minutes.

Just in case any of you aren't familiar with these speed scraps and didn't attend my last one,

I will be posting a new instruction every 10 minutes for one hour. Once the hour is up, you will have one additional hour to get your LO finished, uploaded to the Make it Snappy Gallery and also post a link back here in this thread so I can check to make sure you included all the pieces!

Everyone will get the mini kit and one random winner will receive the Gift Certificate!

Be right back!

[jaye]

:bliss:

[jemenifer22]

Ok, I'm all set...got ma coffee, the kids & DH are all sleeping (lazy bums), just me and you guys...let's get this party started...oo, oo, oo

[jaye]

cool, I have time then. The pics I want to use I will have to scan.

[~Cathi~]

:stars::woot::grouphugg::happy046:

[meejay]

You all crack me up! No coffee for me - already had mine earlier so I will settle in with a Diet Coke and some girl scout cookies. :hyper:

[Fairytale_Studios]

OK ladies, one more thing, remember to use the F5 key - it will automatically refresh your page!

1.Photos:
Please choose at least 2 photos. You will actually end up with three photos on your page, however you may duplicate one if you wish.

2.After you have selected your photos, please choose at least three papers. You may use more than three, but make sure you have at least one patterned paper.
Use a patterned paper for your background and place a solid one over it. It can be in any shape or size, but treat it as a matte for your page.

[jemenifer22]

Ooooooo, make me drool, what type of girl scout cookies???

My favorite are the circle ones with the chocolate on the bottom, with caramel on top, a little bit of coconut...can't remember their name, but I would buy like 5 boxes -sad huh!

[tiffany scraps]

Samoa's Mmmmmm my fav too

[Fairytale_Studios]

definitely thin mints for me!!!

[~Cathi~]

Got my piccies, got my paper... yay!! (SOO glad I went photo happy in the backyard this afternoon LOL)

[Jennifer]

I have no idea what pics I want to use, lol. I copied all my pics from the last 2 years onto here so I better have some that work, lol. I'm waiting to pick after I see what the rest of the clues are.

[jemenifer22]

I'm with you Jennifer (great name by the way) :-)

[Jennifer]

you guys are cruel with talk of your girl scout cookies. I'm not allowed to have them anymore technically!

[meejay]

They are Thin Mints - yummy!

I love the Samoas too...but my faves are the Dos-i-dos - the peanut butter sandwich ones!

[Jennifer]

I'm with you Jennifer (great name by the way) :-)

Love your name too :hyper:

Use a patterned paper for your background and place a solid one over it. It can be in any shape or size, but treat it as a matte for your page.

3. Take your photos, I want one to be larger than the rest, this will be your center photo and the "focus" of your LO. It must be straight. The other two photos should be smaller - one must be a circle and it will be "hanging by the edge of your large photo. All three photos must be touching.

[jemenifer22]

k, just to make sure...the 3rd pic can be whatever shape we want?

[Jennifer]

k...getting going now, woot

4. First, for your photos, you can either mat them or frame them, but they can't be "naked" For your circle photo to "hang", select something to hang your photo, it can be string, ribbon, anything you wish but go ahead and hang your photo. Also choose some flowers, ribbons or buttons to tuck in behind your circled photo to decorate it.

[Fairytale_Studios]

k, just to make sure...the 3rd pic can be whatever shape we want?

Yes, any shape, just so your hanging one is a circle

[tiffany scraps]

I'm still here lol. Just thinking it all through.

[Jennifer]

I keep changing my photos, lol

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol well if it makes you guys feel any better - or possibly worse, lol I didn't pre-plan my instructions like I did the last one, I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I created as I went along, so we will see how creative I am, lol

5. Place some ribbons or paper strips to go behind the photos. You must have at least two items. They should be towards the bottom of your center photo so that your photos appear to be sitting on them.

[jemenifer22]

k, thanks

[Fairytale_Studios]

everyone doing ok? I hope your likin' it! :)

[~Cathi~]

My 2am brain is getting frazzled LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

No worries, Cathi, remember you will have an additional hour to complete the LO!

6. Take one more ribbon or paper strip and put it on top of your center photo at an angle, not straight. Attach it on each side with something. You can use anything such as brads, buttons, pins, etc. Next, choose 5-6 elements, at least two need to be different, the rest you may duplicate if you wish. Place these anywhere around your photos, on top, on the bottom, but they must be around your photos.

[Jennifer]

woot, this is working!

[~Cathi~]

Not fully understanding the ribbon or paper strip on an angle on top of the main pic..

[Jennifer]

umm what if you can't see the ends of the ribbon because it is covered by photos?

7. You may decorate your page any more if you wish, but we are trying to keep all the photos and elements clustered together in the center. Once you have finished this, I don't want ANY journaling. All I want you to do is to write one word on your center photo in one of the corners that will describe the theme of the page. That's it! Upload it to the gallery and remember to post a link back here!

Ok Ladies, I hope you enjoyed it! That's all the instructions, you have - by my clock - until 1:05 EST to post your LO's in the gallery and the links here!

[jaye]

my photos aren't working.......scrapped it and back to the beginning.

One question about the photos touching. Do they have to all 3 touch? I'm not getting how to 'hang' the circle one if it has to be touching the big one.

[Fairytale_Studios]

Not fully understanding the ribbon or paper strip on an angle on top of the main pic..

Cathi, basically, you are layering the LO, so you already have paper strips or ribbons behind your photo, Just place a ribbon or paper strip on the top of your photo and attach it on each end of the paper strip or ribbon - kinda like attaching the photo to the LO, kwim?

Sorry Jaye, I didn't catch that, the circle hanging isn't going to touch, however where you have the photo hung, it should hang from the edge of the photo in front or behind - then your other photo should also touch the center photo, kwim?

[Fairytale_Studios]

umm what if you can't see the ends of the ribbon because it is covered by photos?

That's fine Jen, as long as I see some part of it behind the photos:angel:

[jaye]

that's what I thought you meant. Just wanted to double check :smile:

[~Cathi~]

I thought that's what it was Mellisa.. thanks.. I'm really not usually this thick LOL

[Jennifer]

oy, this is so cluttered for one of my pages, lol. I rarely have this many things on a page

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol no worries!! Cathi and Jaye!

As for you Jennifer, lol do you like it?

[~Cathi~]

Does it have to hang off the side of the main pic? I have it hanging off the background paper, if that makes sense.. it looks pretty alright!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Thats ok as long as it's close to the photos!:hyper:

Glad you ladies are likin' it!!

[Jennifer]

I'm not sure I like it, to be honest, lol. I am a very clean scrapper normally...I don't hate it, but I'm not loving it. But then I am trying to learn to scrap outside my comfort zone.

[Fairytale_Studios]

no worries Jen, I have been there before - but that is what this is about - scrapping outside your normal comfort zone. Who knows, after awhile, you just might like it!

[jemenifer22]

I have to say, you had me thinking! But I love it...will be posting shortly!!

[Jennifer]

[jbigley1]

OOh, I missed this but want to play next time. You all did great, I like how they turned out. I would've had a hard time with this one, but I love speed scraps because they force you to go with your first instincts and think outside of the box. Thanks for hosting and I'll be here next time.
