**** Winner announced in post #15 - https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/closed-s-l-o-w-scrap-mon-8pm-edt-5pm-pdt.100119/#post-1709118 ***
Happy iNSD and Welcome to Monday night (in the US) Slow Scrap -in the Chat room in about 40mins - steps will be added here as well
If you haven't seen my Reflections blog post from this weekend, I've been looking through old paper pages and had a chat in the backroom about it with the Pollys, so tonight I'm doing a retro inspired scrap and going back to my basics from like 20 years ago.
So let's jump in the time machine (it really doesn't feel that long ago to me but the Delorian has seen better days).
To paraphrase the late great Prince (or symbol)...
Well more like it's the early 2000's, I don't think I even owned a camera in 1999 and I don't want to push the time machine too hard.
When we arrive back in the present day (or if you're following along in the forum), you'll have until Tuesday, May 5 at 11am EDT to scrap your page and add it to the thread to go in the scrap cash prize draw!
Let's go. Start it up Doc & Marty.
Step 1: Find 2 or more photos & start with a basic solid background. Think black, white, kraft or any single rainbow colour like you would have bought as cardstock back from a paper scrap store.
(The photos can be from any year - they don't have to literally be retro photos)
Step 2: Arrange your photos & frame one (or more) somehow. You could use frames, mats or photo corners - remember those?
Step 3: Add another paper or 2 as an accent (maybe a border strip or block because pocket cards weren't invented yet). Choose at least one basic (classic!) pattern like a stripe , floral or polka dots. Basic doesn't have to be boring - it's also classic and timeless. Feel free to give it the 'fancy edged scissors' treatment for an extra retro touch.
Step 4: Add a few classic elements.
You must include a tag of some kind, as well as at least 1 of the following:
buttons, brads, stickers, ribbons, labels. (You can use as many of these as you'd like).
Step 5: Add a title with alphas or fonts ( optional journalling and word art and extras) **Feel free to personalize with additional elements or lines of journaling to truly make this your page. But you need to scrap with the spirit of the recipe, thank you.
Step 6: Shadow, save for gallery and upload with your credits.
Ok back in the time machine and back to the future.
Show me your contemporary retro pages in this thread!
(The Back to the Future Musical was ok to good to me if you have the opportunity to see it and i'm kicking myself i didn't think to scrap about that for this retro scrap- ah well , next time)
Deadline and fineprint: Challenge closes at 11 am EDT on Tuesday, May 5. Your page should be new and made exclusively for this challenge. It should not be submitted for any other challenge/game.
All who complete a page, should post the page in the gallery here at TLP, which means it also needs to comply with gallery rules.
Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products. (Templates count as 15%.) Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed. Please post the gallery link or linked image in the thread for this scrap. Random winner will be selected from those completing the challenge by the deadline.
Post your page in this thread using the Copy GALLERY BB found on the right side of your page in your gallery.
