PERCENT made simple for layouts | MOC6 fun

Ummm... that made my head spin, Anne!

Haha!

I make it easy - I use 100% TLP products, usually from one kit to make it more simple. I have a hard time keeping track of all that otherwise.

 

Tooooo much math-ish stuff for me. lol

 

Google. Lol! It likes to tell you the answer.

And I start math for school next week! Argh. This reminded me.

 

Ditto (although sometimes I'll use more than one kit), otherwise it's too confusing.

 

I'd never been a 1 kit scrapper until doing so many challenges here. I think, now, I'm often a one kit and a few bits kinda scrapper. Just enough to make it fun!

 

Wowsers Anne! I feel like you need a nap...


I am pretty much a one kit scrapper, and I know which ones are in the store, that covers me for when I need to use a retired/outside template.

 

OK... That made my head ache!!! I don't do math... anywhere... the Good Lord left Math out when handing out gifts! That said. I normally use Lots of designers and kits on my pages... and have precious little eligible "stuff" , but of a mind, that I will use almost all Current stuff from here... so no question... I even feel guilty when I go looking for the "perfect" element I know I have... just from another store! I will use the calculator above... Looks handy, thank you so much for going to all the trouble of posting it and explaining it and graphically demonstrating it...

 

If we make something on our own in Photoshop as we're making the layout (like I made a "solid paper" for the first challenge by filling the background with color and giving it texture, or I can imagine for example making homemade word art using a font and a white stroke to make it look like a sticker), do we count these as non-current-Lilypad items, or do we leave them out of the equation entirely?

 

I would count it as a non current Lilypad item. Because, in theory, if you made the paper yourself, and made some word art yourself using a font, and then added in some circle shapes from Photoshop, and then added a piece of flair from the store your layout wouldn't meet the 75%. Because only 1 of the items you used (the flair) was actually from the Lilypad.

 

nope nope nope...no mathing in scrapping here! I just make sure I'm using all current items LOL

 

I love math and that made my head spin!!! One thing that helps me is to link up all the credits in my layout to the store. If I can't find one that is big clue that maybe I used a freebie, a retired kit or something.

 

This is the easiest way!

 

Anne You had me at Pie (which i much prefer over the mathsy version of pi, 3.14 whatever that the kids & DH recite to some ridiculous number of decimal places)

 

I figure if you need to make calculations then you’re using too much non-TLP stuff.

I use almost exclusively TLP stuff. Only occasionally do I search outside my TLP folder, when I really, really want a particular item but can’t find it in my TLP stash.

 

How would you address text, which is just something you wrote, but used one of Leah's styles to make it word art? Without her style, it wouldn't be word art. It would be just plain old text. It's something I've been wondering. Thanks!!!!

 

Well said, Michele! If I need to use a non-TLP item for the MOC, I personally really try not to use more than one.

 

Personally? I would avoid that being the tipping factor one way or another! Lol.

 

It definitely wouldn't be. I was just curious. I'm trying not to use more than one non-TLP item for the MOC. Thanks for the reply!
