hi everyone! here are the instructions for the 8/12 speed scrap. you will have one hour after the end of the scrap to complete your page and post here note - you are allowed one cheat - please just let me know what it is 1) Select either ONE or TWO pictures - and place it/them on the center of the page - slightly to the left. if two pictures, they should be in a column vertically. 2) Select a neutral background paper. in addition, select a patterned paper that is cut into a vertical strip. it should be the length of your page - and about half the width of your page. place it under your pictures - but slightly to the right (so that your picture(s) have some space on the left where there is no strip of paper). 3) Layer some papers/ribbons/scallops/etc on the edges of the long paper strip. Also use papers or a frame to mat/frame the picture(s). 4) Add some elements using a visual triangle - place an element (or element cluster - get as busy as you like) in the following three spots: a) top left corner of the picture(s) ; b) bottom right of the long paper strip ; and c) on the paper strip - above the pictures and to the right. also add any stitching/ribbons/paint/brushwork you like (if any). 5) Add some journaling and a title to the right of the picture(s) - on top of the paper strip. you can add journal cards, paper strips, paint, etc if you want to have something to write on. you can also use word art, etc ... that's it can't wait to see what you come up with!!
I didn't think I had cheated but I maybe my paper is too central and not enough to the right, so I will call that my cheat on this one. Thanks
Tried to follow the instructions. Needless to say, if I goofed that is my cheat. Thanks for the fun SS. Here's mine:
I did use my Nancie Rowe Janitz kits and some Pink Reptile Designs. My cheat is the journaling on the left side for obvious reasons.
If I missed something or did it wrong then I cheated. I cheated using too many designers with new names!
So I was ready to load before noon, but I accidentally was doing my password wrong and got kicked out for 15 minutes. so Put this over on the facebook page for Lilypad. Hope that can count. Used Summer Camp by Just Jaime/Mommyish (collab). My cheat was a not quite perfect triange as requested.
Your layout is so fresh and organic in feel. Love the mix of patterns and the way you layered the title letters.
Thanks so much for the compliment Diane - it was a fun quick layout to do and I'm impressed with how well it came out considering especially I came into the chat 30 minutes late. LOL.
