oh poo! Sorry you can't make it Sine, however don't get too disappointed, the one at the end of the month will be on a Saturday morning, so maybe I will get with you since you are on the opposite side of the world, lol and we can come up with a good time!

[jeepmama]

Will try to make it... may be stuck in a hotel with my kiddos, DH and MIL... *ugh*

[Sine]

Saturday morning sounds perfect to me!! :) I'm looking forward to it!

[tiffany scraps]

Hubby and I had talked about going out to dinner but maybe now I'll let him off the hook so I can attend the fun. We can go out Saturday night lol.

[Family Comes First]

I have never participated in one of these Scraps but I will try to tonight. It actually should fit into my schedule :) that is rare in my life, LOL. Can't wait!

[littleginsu]

Then it must be fate that you attend, Crystal!!

[bebimora]

I'm soooo with you Sine. :online2long:
I live in Sweden just a few miles north of Copenhagen so this is 2 am and the chat is 4am for me to :sleep1:
I hade so much fun last time. :hyper:
I'll set the alarm clock and hopefully I hear it and manages to get up :yawn:

CU later (I hope :sleepy: )
:sleep:

[jaye]

Ok, so I'm all ready to attend this scrap tonight, have my tiara, pink feather boa and pink elbow length gloves.
Wouldn't you know it, get a phone call, Braeden has hockey practice!! If I can get him out of the arena and me avoid seeing anyone from minor hockey with issues I need to deal with I might be able to make it in time for instruction #2

Hopefully I will see you all tonight!!

[tishawj]

I'm hoping the kids cooperate and go to bed on time tonight so I can join in too. I've wanted to do one of these for ages.

[tiffany scraps]

I will be checking in a bit late as it will be dinner time here when you start but I will at least be able to join when all the instructions are posted and create a layout frantic like in the hour remaining lol. The fam will just be more happy if I make a dinner and sit down with them before plugging myself into the computer for the night. Back soon :)

[jan1367]

[jemenifer22]

let's rock this!!

[meejay]

Just made it in - thought I would be late but good news I am here with my pooping spider, who knew how handy it would be!

[jan1367]

LOL jaye

[Kami]

ok here we go!

RULE #1: so i LOVE multi-photo layouts!! i think the more pictures i can cram on my layouts, the better!!!

last time we used only 1 photo! this time we're gonna use a few more!! heehee!

so let's just say you have to use 3 pictures!!! and you can only use them once!! and ...um... one picture has to be cropped landscape and two pictures have to be cropped portrait!!!

[~Cathi~]

I'm here by the skin of my teeth!!! Hoping DH doesn't mind LOL

[Kami]

sorry guys!! i'm flying by the seat of my pants here!!!

[jaye]

hey Cathi, we just started.

[jemenifer22]

fly away girl, I think it will be fun!!

[~Cathi~]

Hope the flyings good Kami LOL

[~Cathi~]

Jo, yep, I noticed it had just begun!! Looking forward to this!! :D

[Kami]

mel's gonna post another rule in about 5 minutes... we'll try to get caught up on the time and we'll give you guys some extra time to scrap and post!!

[jan1367]

ok, the Kami flying seems to be working for me so far!

[littleginsu]

Rules

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

2. Use a minimum of four papers; 3 patterned and 1 solid. Two of them have to be uncropped/uncut.. they can be shrunk/sized-down, however.

[Kami]

ooohhh good one!!! let me think a bit here....

[Kami]

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

2. Use a minimum of four papers; 3 patterned and 1 solid. Two of them have to be uncropped/uncut.. they can be shrunk/sized-down, however.

3. You have to use 1 (and only 1 frame) on 1 (and only 1) of your photos!! BUT instead of putting the picture in the frame, let's put the frame ON the photo to highlight a part of the photo! use the frame to draw the viewer's attention to that part of the photo you want them to see most!!

[Kami]

um... i hope that makes sense!

[littleginsu]

Oooo!

[Kami]

ok guys... you got awfully quiet on us!!! is everyone still here!?!?

[meejay]

I got one heck of a template going....I better go find some photos!

BTW - can the frame be a shape like a heart or a doodle or should it be a traditional frame? Not sure if that makes sense....

[littleginsu]

I'll let Kami answer that question.. since I don't know the answer!! :P

[KayJay]

Just arriving - 2 rain delays at soccer game but now I think I will be heading out before I finish but might just jump in til then and see how far i get.

[Kami]

it can be any shaped frame you want!! doodles are great too and if you want to MAKE a frame out of papers or elements, that's cool too!! just "FRAME" the part of the photo you want to highlight!

[jan1367]

i'm still here, and got something going on my page!

[Kami]

awesome!! ok this is totally fun!! even tho i'm not scrapping!

i can't wait to see where this goes.... the suspense is killing me!! LMAO!!

[tiffany scraps]

Just caught up on the posts here and looks like I won't be as far behind as I thought. The family is fed adn the kitchen cleaned up so... I earned this lol.

[littleginsu]

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

2. Use a minimum of four papers; 3 patterned and 1 solid. Two of them have to be uncropped/uncut.. they can be shrunk/sized-down, however.

4. Elements.. my favorite part!! Use 3 flowers (2 different ones; and the third should be one of the 2 and either smaller or larger than the original); 4 leaves or twigs (some kind of foliage) and a butterfly!

[Kami]

ooohhh nice!! heehee!

[KayJay]

PSE is moving way too slow....ugh!

[Kami]

ok and since i'm just getting home and going through all my emails and stuff...

i haven't actually had a chance to speak with mel about her little impromptu sale in my store this week..... LMFAO!!

[littleginsu]

Ummmm.. oops!

[tishawj]

ok...you lost me with the flowers...can't do it. I know I should be trying to step out of my my box here but for some reason I can't do flowers on LOs for my boys. Just a thing...so off to my salsa I go, I'll check back later to see how everyon did

[jemenifer22]

You had me until you said twig! hahahah

[littleginsu]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[littleginsu]

Well.. a leaf or a twig thingy.. some kind of foliage

[Kami]

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

2. Use a minimum of four papers; 3 patterned and 1 solid. Two of them have to be uncropped/uncut.. they can be shrunk/sized-down, however.

4. Elements.. my favorite part!! Use 3 flowers (2 different ones; and the third should be one of the 2 and either smaller or larger than the original); 4 leaves or twigs (some kind of foliage) and a butterfly!

5. I love it when there are parts of the layout that are on the edges, so it looks like it's cut off the page!! so some part of your layout has to be on the edge with part of it sticking "off the layout". it can be an element, paper, photo... anything!

[theSassyScrapper]

Just popping in! I might have time for this! Looks like I'm not too far behind!

[tiffany scraps]

Ok I am liking the sound of this but still working on step one lol

[meejay]

A butterfly?!?!

I will find a way, but boy - it will look a bit odd. Hee hee HEE!

[jan1367]

ok, I am still keeping up ..... I think!

[jemenifer22]

HAHAHAHAH, ROFLMAO!! This is just too much fun...I keep giggling! These are going to be fun LO to look over! I usually stick to one kit...but I'm all over the place dipping into different kits...hahahhah - I'm loving it!

Oh and the twig thing....I meant that I had to go search for leaves and/or twigs! hehehe

[littleginsu]

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

6. Back to elements!! Hehehehhe.. I love me some elements! Stitching! It's my absolute favorite thing.. stitching! You must use some stitching somewhere on your layout. And a little glitter or bling or metal.. just something shiny!

[Fairytale_Studios]

HI guys! Did you all start early?

[steph]

I'm so mad.. I screwed up the time... and I'm on EST... oh, well... we just played a kick butt game of Monopoly... so I'm wound for sound... LOL

Steph

[jan1367]

this is certainly turning in to a busy LO

[Kami]

7. let's talk titles!! i'm a woman of few words... journaling and titles are so hard for me! so let's have a ONE WORD title on the page.... pick a word that sums up the layout (either the emotion or the theme/subject, the month, the person's name, anything really but you can only use one word in the title)

[littleginsu]

We started at 5PM (Pacific), 8PM (Eastern)..?

[jemenifer22]

I'm good so far! How many more instructions or is that it?

[Fairytale_Studios]

OMG!!!! I had put 9PM originally - I had to be at the hospital with Uncle Tony and planned for 9PM!!!!!

Ladies, I am SOOO SOOO SOOO sorry I messed this up!!!

[steph]

I will have to try this... but I'm not sure I'm going to like it... LOL

Steph

[Kami]

um yeah... was that the right time?

[jemenifer22]

What time is it on the east coast?

[steph]

Mellissa... you are fired... LOL ... it's okay... I missed it too!!!

[Kami]

oh no worries melissa!!! i was worried something happened with your uncle, so i'm glad it was just a mix up of times!!! i hope he's doing ok!!

[steph]

Here it's nine o'clock... eastern standard time...

Steph

[Fairytale_Studios]

rofl, no ladies, it is my fault. The original ad had 9PM because of the family being with uncle TOny in the hospital and I must have edited it the second time around, it's my fault, not yours - Im such a dummy!

[littleginsu]

Yes, thankfully it was just a time mix up.. I was getting ready to give you a call, but I don't know your number!!! I am just glad you are okay, I was getting worried!!

[jemenifer22]

No worries...Kami & Mel have been keeping it INTERESTING! hahahaha

[jaye]

Hope Uncle Tony is doing ok Mellisa.

[Kami]

yup i was looking in the cart for a number too. was gonna call after to make sure everything was ok. you gave us a scare!! mel and i are totally winging in here!! LMAO!!

[Fairytale_Studios]

Yes, thankfully it was just a time mix up.. I was getting ready to give you a call, but I don't know your number!!! I am just glad you are okay, I was getting worried!!

Thanks Mel, no I'm ok, lol just a little discumboobered! But Uncle Tony is doing well, they were getting him prepped for his first chemo treatment, but he is in good spirits and looked pretty good considering!:icon_heartbeat:

[littleginsu]

Alright ladies.. this was a super-duper speedy scrap; this is the last step so we can give y'all an hour to complete your layouts!!!

1. Use 3 photos and they can onlybe used once. One photo has to be cropped landscape and two photos have to be cropped portrait.

2. Use a minimum of four papers; 3 patterned and 1 solid. Two of them have to be uncropped/uncut.. they can be shrunk/sized-down, however.

3. You have to use 1 (and only 1 frame) on 1 (and only 1) of your photos!! BUT instead of putting the picture in the frame, let's put the frame ON the photo to highlight a part of the photo! use the frame to draw the viewer's attention to that part of the photo you want them to see most!!

4. Elements.. my favorite part!! Use 3 flowers (2 different ones; and the third should be one of the 2 and either smaller or larger than the original); 4 leaves or twigs (some kind of foliage) and a butterfly!

5. I love it when there are parts of the layout that are on the edges, so it looks like it's cut off the page!! so some part of your layout has to be on the edge with part of it sticking "off the layout". it can be an element, paper, photo... anything!

6. Back to elements!! Hehehehhe.. I love me some elements! Stitching! It's my absolute favorite thing.. stitching! You must use some stitching somewhere on your layout. And a little glitter or bling or metal.. just something shiny!

7. let's talk titles!! i'm a woman of few words... journaling and titles are so hard for me! so let's have a ONE WORD title on the page.... pick a word that sums up the layout (either the emotion or the theme/subject, the month, the person's name, anything really but you can only use one word in the title)

8. Take a couple minutes and look at what you have so far, is anything missing? Do you want to add another paper or element? This last step is Lady's Choice; choose either 1 additional paper or 1 additional element that you haven't already used and use it in your layout!

[steph]

I hope your Uncle is okay, sweetie... and at least you'll be here for the chat!!!

[Kami]

alright ladies!! thank you so much for hanging in there with us!! we'll give you an extra 15 or 20 minutes too... so post your layouts by 7:30 Pacific/ 10:30 Easter and we'll announce the winner in the chat (starting at 7 Pacific/ 10 Eastern)!!!

[KayJay]

I didn't get too far. but you gals crack me up. good job winging it!

[Breeoxd]

ok how many instructions are on your layouts? Youre giving them one every couple of minutes lol

[theSassyScrapper]

Thanxs for the extra time! I've got to reboot! :) I left my computer on all day. It's out of virtual memory! Wish me luck!

[jaye]

Mellisa will be thinking of him as he undergoes his first treatment............that's the scariest one as you don't know what to expect. Hope he has a good session :smile:

[Fairytale_Studios]

Thanks, I will be taking back the comments left here and I'l keep everyone updated!

Thanks Kami and Mel for "wingin'" - it looks interesting!!!! hee hee

[Kami]

"interesting" to say the least! LMAO!! i can't wait to see the layouts!

[Breeoxd]

wow these are really quick here! sorry guys it was my first one so Im a little confused

[~Cathi~]

My puter is being a butthead!! Can we fit all those goodies onto one layout? LOL

[Kami]

hey bree!!

well usually the instructions are given out over an hour and then you have an hour to finish the layout and post it! but we got a little bit of a late start and so we're giving ya'll some extra time to post your layouts!

then you'll get a prize from shauna!!

[tiffany scraps]

Ok now that all the rules are out there I'm gonna see what I can do lol. Thanks - I think and to Mellisa - HUGS! Glad everything is ok and hope the treatment goes well.

[~Cathi~]

I'll probably be late getting my layout done and in.. have had to reboot a couple of times, and had to download something!

And Mellisa, I hope your Uncle Tony goes well with his first round of chemo... *HUGS*
