Speed Scrap @ Gingerscraps!

And your participation prize is this quick page that I made from my newest kit that comes out soon, The Seaweed is Always Greener, a collab with my digi-BFF Charmaine of Wyld Web Designs. This kit won't even be out for a while, so this QP is an easy way to get the goods sooner. :)

See you there!

Speed Scrap @ Gingerscraps!

Speed Scrap!

Here is my layout I did during this afternoon's speed scrap.

Here are the instructions:

1. Pick 5 papers. One should be solid and have worn edges. The other 4 should be patterned.
Place the patterned paper as your back ground, and place the worn edged paper on top.
If you do not have any worn papers in your stash, shrink the top solid paper so that it covers most of the patterned paper with just a little bit of pattern showing through.
Save the other papers for the next step.

2. Pick two pictures. Crop them the same size and shape, no bigger than 2 inches high and no bigger than 3 inches wide. You can leave them square if you want, or rectangular.
Crop your three remaining papers to the same exact shape/size.
Then, arrange them on your page in a vertical row, alternating photo and paper.

3. Pick either 2 different colored, or two different fasteners to "fasten" your papers and photos.

4. Place a string or element border behind your paper and photos... peaking out some.

5. Element up ladies! Buttons, flowers, umbrellas whatever floats your boat, but don't let the elements take over your papers and photos.

6. Title your page. Use colors from your background paper and accent papers (not the worn paper) to make your title. If you've done a speed scrap with me before, you know I am a BIG fan of the word art-y looking titles.

7. Post to the speed scrap gallery and post a link back here so we can all leave love. PLEASE do not forget to credit the designer(s) whose kit you used for the page you did. :)

I used the Amanda Heimann kit, Magicial Memories for this LO.

Speed Scrap @ Gingerscraps!

Snow IS Real!

I did this layout during the Speed Scrap at Gingerscraps today.
I used Nicole from Digi-designs by Nicole's speed scrap.
Here are the instructions if you missed the SS:

1. Choose at least 3 pictures... You can have more than three, but you must have at least three. Choose pictures that you would like to journal about. (There will be a journaling instruction later on.)

2. Use as many papers are you want - but the background paper needs to be solid

3. Create an element cluster (any size, any elements) and place it on your page UNDER your photo.

4. Add some string or ric-rac

5. Use a repeating word somewhere on your page. Be creative.

6. Title your layout with 3 words.

7. Add journaling on some sort of journaling block (it can’t just be typed on your background paper) and date your layout.Add any other finishing touches that you would like. Then go post your layout on the finish line. Make sure to leave love for everyone and tell them what you liked about their layout!

I used the Ziggle Designs kit, White Christmas for this layout.

Speed Scrap @ Gingerscraps last night

I did my first speed scrap last night. I was supposed to be making dinner, so Shhh! Don't tell my husband. It was a lot of fun and I got this great page out of it.

You should check out the Gingerscraps forum. There are weekly and monthly challenges as well as speed scraps throughout the week. Click the Gingerscraps blinkie on my sidebar to get to the blog.

I used the TwoBoyz kit, Backyard Boy for this one. :)
