------------------------------------

We'll start in just a few minutes!

[~Cathi~]

Checking in :)

[Kami]

YAY! i'm here!!

[Sine]

Wehoo!!

[ehooton]

Ooh! Can't wait! This is my first speed scrap!

[Fairytale_Studios]

whew, looks like it's gonna be a full house ladies!!! Glad to see you all here!

[ShortCake]

Woo hoo I'm here........and want to go shopping at the market but it will have to wait. LOL

[Stacey]

I'm here..and it's my first speed scrap!

[tiffany scraps]

I'm here too :)

[steph]

I'm here!!!! This is going to be so much fun!!! Hey Mellissa!!!

Steph

[Kami]

omg
this is already so much fun! my first speed scrap too!

[Fairytale_Studios]

So, with out further ado, Let's Make it Snappy!!! and get down to business! Tonight, I want to focus on patterns. I have seen some layouts with some patterns on layouts that you wouldn't normally stick together, kwim? So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

1. Photos: tonight along with out theme, I want you to choose 1 photo. I envision a page that is more focused on a portrait type setting instead of a journaled page, but you can do as you want, however you are only permitted 1 photo. You will be duplicating it at least twice and applying a different style to it. For example, you might have a colored photo and a b&w photo, or if you want something extra special, try some selective coloring! Any way you want to change the photos is fine, but you again, use only one photo and duplicate it at least once, I am going to duplicate my twice so I have a total of three pictures

[steph]

I did one somehwere else... I'm hooked now!!!

[chia]

TOnight? Right now? I just checked here by chance!!! This is my lucky day!!!

[Sine]

I've only paperspeedscrapped.. Not exactly the same since the most demanding and time consuming thing there is scanning/taking the damn photo to upload.. LOL!

[Bec]

I'm here. I'll do my best to play along but it's breakfast time here and we have a busy day to get started.

[fantacy]

never participated in one of these, but I am here to give it a go!!!! :D

[jaye]

*makes a grand entrance waving at everyone as she flips her feather boa and straightens the tiara*

[Shauna]

[chia]

*makes a grand entrance waving at everyone as she flips her feather boa and straightens the tiara*

Ha ha!! YOu go girl! I totally noticed you coming in--such a star!!

[Sine]

Heeeey Jaye!! Yay!! You brought the partay.. ;)

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol ladies, sorry - for those of you that are first timers, I will post a new instruction every 10 minutes for one hour. After the first hour, you will have one additional hour to complete your LO and post it in the Make it Scrappy! gallery and provide a link back here!

Also, remember, the F5 key is a life saver, it saves on hitting the refresh button!

Hi Steph!! Glad you could make it to the scrap!

[steph]

You go girls... LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

just in case you missed the first step:

So, with out further ado, Let's Make it Snappy!!! and get down to business! Tonight, I want to focus on patterns.

Hi Steph!! Glad you could make it to the scrap!

Thank you.........I kept thinking it was F9 which wasn't working. LOL

[jaye]

Thank you ladies, lol.

OK I'll behave now.

[Sine]

LOL!! I'm allready stresed out!!

[jan1367]

oh, this is going to be so fun!!!

[~Cathi~]

LOL!! I'm allready stresed out!!

I'm with ya on that one Sine LOL My cold is fogging my brain up :S

[steph]

Don't be stressed... the hardest thing I find about these scraps is that I feel withdrawl from not being able to use a template... LOL

[fa11enan9e1]

I'm here and hoping I can stay!!

[tiffany scraps]

Ahhh come on Jaye... don't behave on our account lol.

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol girls, I'm sure you will all be fine, don't stress yet!!!! hee hee - just remember you will have an extra hour afterwards.

So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

Any way you want to change the photos is fine, but you again, use only one photo and duplicate it at least once, I am going to duplicate my twice so I have a total of three pictures.

2. Choose a minimum of two papers (remember NO solids!) Choose one as your background and the other create a mat, it can either be a whole page mat or a smaller mat behind your photos. You can start arranging your photos around on your page how you wish, no rules - they can be together, apart, anything.

[jaye]

I stress about finding the 'perfect' picture........already there

[Sine]

Hehe.. Well I hardly never find time to actually scrap anymore.. I'm feeling a bit rusty.. ;)

[steph]

I hate the whole patterned paper thing but I'm going to try it!!! LOL

[jaye]

aaackkk!!! No frames!! Now I'm really stressing!

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol steph, it's a hard one for me too - I almost always use a solid for my background!

[Fairytale_Studios]

aaackkk!!! No frames!! Now I'm really stressing!


Jaye, you can use frames, they just have to have a pattern on them. If you can't find one, just put a patterned paper over it:001_cool:

[jaye]

me too....

[jaye]

whew, I stopped at the bold print, no solid papers or frames and had to pick up my tiara from the floor as it fell off. LOL

[steph]

Me three.. I always use a solid for my background!!!

[Stacey]

LOL...I hope my PSP doesn't freeze on me!

[steph]

I hope your tiara didn't break... that would be a shame... LOL

[Kami]

me four!!

[Stacey]

I, too am finding it hard for the patterned papers...I almost never use them!

[ShortCake]

Heck, I'm still trying to figure out what picture to use.

[steph]

I can't do this... it's hurting me to much to mat a picture with a patterned paper... the shame of it all ... LOL

[Sine]

Come on girls.. Make it work!!! ;)

[Fairytale_Studios]

So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

You can start arranging your photos around on your page how you wish, no rules - they can be together, apart, anything.

3. After your photos are arranged as you would like, now we are going to build around them. Tonight's finished product will be a simple LO however by editing your photos and choosing the right elements, hopefully this page will allow the photo to be the focus and the elements just be the "icing on the cake". So, choose at least 4 elements. It can be more or less, however you must have a min. of four. Frames, buttons, wordart, ribbons, anything is permitted (paper strips do NOT count) - DO NOT use stitching, there will be a separate instruction for stitching ;).

[~Cathi~]

Heck, I'm still trying to figure out what picture to use.

I'm waiting for all the instructions before I choose a pic LOL

[bebimora]

:hithere:

This is my first time here at SO and I was waiying in the chatroom :eek2:

Thanks Steph for giving me a hint to search for you in the forum :icon_rotate:

[Shauna]

I am SOOOOO LMBO at Jaye right now!!!! he he he

[~Cathi~]

Glad you found us bebimora! Have fun and welcome :)

[steph]

Can notebook paper count as patterned paper... it's not solid... it has lines on it... LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol me too!! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone, here on the patterned papers, but what would a speed scrap be without a little challenge!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Can notebook paper count as patterned paper... it's not solid... it has lines on it... LOL

rofl! oh ok I guess:devil2: I'll let ya slide:whistle:

[Kami]

welcome bebi!!!

[Shauna]

Welcome bebimora!!

[ShortCake]

I'm waiting for all the instructions before I choose a pic LOL

How funny, I've done the same thing. Now, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with the duplicated ones. LOL

[chia]

I'm waiting for all the instructions before I choose a pic LOL

I'm kind of doing this,too. I work better under the wire! Having fun playing with my photos, though and wondering what Jaye's tiara looks like...

[steph]

You aren't letting it slide... it's not a solid paper... it has lines on it... LOL... the notebook paper I mean!!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

welcome bebi! Glad you found us!

ok girlies - next step!!

So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

4. Around your elements around your photos to help draw the viewer into your photos without overshadowing the photo. YOu can tuck the elements behind on top, anywhere, but make sure they are around your photos and not scattered all over the page. White space is a good thing for this LO.

[jaye]

I've started but I think I may end up changing the whole thing. K, I've taken my pretty satin gloves off and am ready for business.

Glad I'm amusing you Shauna :smile:

[jaye]

Sorry all I'm in a very silly mood...............so if we can only use patterned paper........wait for it, yes it's coming............................

how can we have 'white' space? Ok, you can groan now

[Shauna]

Grrrrooooaaaannnnn...


he he he

[jan1367]

lol jaye!

[steph]

LOL... what colour are your silk gloves... and I know what you mean about the white space... Mellissa is just being mean!!! LOL

[fantacy]

oh lord, we are only 4 steps in and i am almost lost....this moves faster than a chat!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Sorry all I'm in a very silly mood...............so if we can only use patterned paper........wait for it, yes it's coming............................

how can we have 'white' space? Ok, you can groan now

hee hee - white space - k how 'bout this "PATTERN SPACE" lol I want to see those pretty patterns!!!:toot:

[ShortCake]

On the pictures. You said we could alter it, right? So, can I make the duplicates much smaller?

[steph]

I like what I've done so far but I'd like it a whole lot better if it had a solid background... LOL I just never quit, do I?

[steph]

Kami... you're awful quiet... from what I've met of you ... that doesn't seem to be like you ... lol... are you concentrating... ;)

[jaye]

I'm with you Steph......the kit I'm using is verrrryyy cute, I 'Love' it 'Bug' I'm missing my solid background

[Sine]

Does the elements have to be different or can they be the same kind/duplicats?

[Stacey]

LOL jaye! steph, I totally agree with you..this would look much better with a solid BG!

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol steph, get over it!!!! hee hee!

Shortcake, size isn't workin for me, lol you can use one in color, one in b&w, add a gradient over it, or something , but it needs to be more than size!

[steph]

I know... I'd love to use the nice solid navy blue background that came with the kit I'm using the elements for but it isn't going to happen I guess... LOL

[jan1367]

this is harder than I thought!

[~Cathi~]

I'm sorry people, I'm gonna have to let this slide.. my head is not cooperating with me at the moment :S Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with though!

[Bec]

aaarrrrgggghhhh how many times can one child want to go potty during a speed scrap!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Does the elements have to be different or can they be the same kind/duplicats?

no they can be duplicates Sine :icon_heartbeat:

As for you all cryers, lol remember, save it in psd format, you can always go back and add that solid background in after the deadline!!!:devil2:

[jaye]

Mellisa can our photos be overlapping?

[steph]

So I did a small black and white photo and a larger colour one... does that float your boat, Miss Boss!!! LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

5. Stitching: I want to you to choose one stitch. It can be straight, zig-zig, messy, even just a couple stitches and use it to "attach" your other paper(s) from step 1. You can use more than one stitch.

[chia]

aaarrrrgggghhhh how many times can one child want to go potty during a speed scrap!

My thoughts exactly!!! "Go to bed, already!"

P.S. I've got some gorgeous non-solid paper--don't be jealous!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Mellisa can our photos be overlapping?

Sure!

Oh and no more comments from the peanut gallery *cough* steph!!!:icon_rotate:

[ShortCake]

lol steph, get over it!!!! hee hee!

Shortcake, size isn't workin for me, lol you can use one in color, one in b&w, add a gradient over it, or something , but it needs to be more than size!

No, I mean is it ok if I make two of them smaller? LOL I get it woman..color....b&w.....LOL

[Fairytale_Studios]

No, I mean is it ok if I make two of them smaller? LOL I get it woman..color....b&w.....LOL

[Sine]

Does the stitching(s) have to "stitch" all the photos?

[Kami]

[Fairytale_Studios]

Me too.. And they're from Kami.. ;)


Ditto!:icon_heartbeat:

I LOVE Kami's new kit - it is absolutely adorable!

[steph]

You never answered my question!!!! I wanted to know... did I do alright with the black and white picture for one and the colour for the other... huh... and you wonder why you are getting all these comments from the peanut gallery ... LOL.. you know I love you, Mellissa!!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Does the stitching(s) have to "stitch" all the photos?

Nope! Just so there is some kind of stitching on the LO

[bebimora]

So frame are ok as long as they are not plain and solid.
:icon_rotate:

[Fairytale_Studios]

lol yes, Steph - your photos will be just fine that way!

ok ladies - next step - don't worry almost finished just this and one more instruction left.

So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim? Hope this isn't too complicated for you and I can promise this will be the only "stipulation".

6. Now stop and take a couple minutes and look at your LO - what is missing other than your title? Is it another paper? an element? Whatever it is, I want you to choose either 1 additional paper or 1 additional element that you haven't already used and apply it to your page where you will want your title to be. Choose a font of your choice

[Sine]

Psst.. Remember to save your LO as you go along..

[steph]

and no solids right ... LOL

[Kami]

yes!!! i'm trying to keep up!!! OMG... this is hard!

[Sine]

Does it have to be a font? Can it be an alpha? kwim?

[Fairytale_Studios]

So frame are ok as long as they are not plain and solid.
:icon_rotate:

Yep!

[Stacey]

this is actually turning out not half bad LOL!

[jaye]

if it's an additional paper.................can that be a solid?

[Sine]

Arh crap.. I don't want to add anything else.. LOL! I'm done.. ;)

[Kami]

ok guys... this no solid papers is KILLING ME!!! OMG!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Does it have to be a font? Can it be an alpha? kwim?

Yes Sine, I actually had to fix this step before I posted it - I was originally gonna do something else, but you can use an alpha!

It can be SOLID AND PLAIN!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!:toot::toot::hyper:

lol sorry - I'll be off my soap box soon!

[jaye]

Kami, you know me................always chatting. I should probably fess up that I'm still at instruction 3, LOL.

[jaye]

Yeah a solid paper!!!!!!!!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

ok guys... this no solid papers is KILLING ME!!! OMG!!

Here's a hint - idea - take a solid paper and a patterned one and blend the two together - I never said the pattern had to be bold and bright *wink

as long as I can see a hint of pattern on the background I'll let ya slide!!!

[tiffany scraps]

Ummmm do I have to use a frame or is it optional?

[bebimora]

Do we have to be ready to post befoure the hour is up??

[Shauna]

[ehooton]

I am so FAR BEHIND!!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

So, with out further ado, Let's Make it Snappy!!! and get down to business! Tonight, I want to focus on patterns. I have seen some layouts with some patterns on layouts that you wouldn't normally stick together, kwim? So first rule for the night: no solid papers or frames I want you to use patterned papers and frames that have a pattern or that have something on them other than the basic solid frame, kwim?

We are going to use it as a clipping mask and create our own alpha for the title. Choose a font of your choice, perferably something a little more chunky that will allow your paper's pattern to show.

7. Last step, using the font you chose or alpha, create a title. It can be one or more words, however create your title. Wah-lah! Your finished! Upload your LO to the gallery and remember to come back here and post a link so I can go leave you some love!!!

The time is now: 8:01
You have until: 9:01 PM to finish up your LO and post it in the Make it Snappy gallery and link it here! Hope you ladies enjoyed the scrap and hope you are happy with your results!!!

I was just talking with Jaye today & thought if I showed up at 7pm (my time) I'd be ok! Apparently I'm a hour too late!! Waaaa! :sniffle:

We need to start posting challenge dates to our forum calendar so everyone will have 1 place to look (as usually the speed scrap threads don't show up until the very moment one gets stared)!

Phooey - I'll have to try to get it right next time! :twak:

[Kami]

[bebimora]

Is the chat at 9PM EST the same as this or is it something else??

[Sine]

DOH! I can't think of a title.. :(

[Bec]

so we're cutting the title out of the extra paper or element?
That wont work with the element I chose so I'll go back and find some paper.

I could have sworn I put the kids to bed before I started!!! Looks like I still made it in time. Never been to a chat before. Once I click on chat do I need to do anything else??

I can't believe I missed it! Why was I thinking it was at 9:00! Oh well, next time! Looks like you all had a great scrap and did some amazing layouts! Going to go check them out in the gallery.

btw, I've been trying to post for the past 20 minutes and it's not letting me. If this gets through it will be a miracle. LOL

yay! it finally worked!

[Neverland Scraps]

aw man!
I can't believe I missed this!
When I read the newsletter I thought it said it started at nine, but its the chat. That stinks.
Sorry Mellisa I missed it. Oh well...off to scrap

[celebrate2spirit]

Well, I tried!!!!!! I'm on a VERY old and VERY VERY slow computer, and usually it takes me a whole day or two! to make a layout...but I've got one and even though I haven't uploaded it yet...I just had to pop in a say what a great experience this was to even try...so I'm going to post it now to the gallery and I'll be back to post the link and even if I don't get the 'bonus' I got the experience!!!! Wow, I must say I'm darn proud of myself...not so much so the layout though :) And, I'm missing the chat now...darn!

So, even though it's all over...here's my link:

[Jennifer]

I'm so bummed that I missed t. I just can't deal with the time at that part of night, unfortunately. We'll have to do a chat after the crop next time on a saturday!

[steph]

I really had the best time at the chat and the speed scrap last night... you really truly are a wonderful group of girls!!!! I will cherish my tiara always, Jaye... LOL

[jaye]

Glad to hear it Steph. You do realize you are now required to wear it to every speed scrap and chat now.

:bliss:

[steph]

I will wear it with pleasure!!! Thanks!!! I am looking for the perfect pair of silk gloves to go with it now!!
