Speed Scrap

What is a Speed Scrap? When a group of online digital scrapbookers gather online at the same time for one hour and are given 7 instructions (one every 10 minutes) by one instructor.


What were the rules today? (these were mostly taken from a speed scrap by Barb on my cafe mom group)

1.Chose 3 Pictures. Make all three of them the same size. Put them in a row, either Horizontally or Vertically.

2.Chose a solid colored piece of paper and use it as your background for your page. Send it all of the way to the back.


3.Chose an embellishment like a photo frame, a bracket, or even use another piece of paper to place behind all three pictures.


4.Find a glittery or shiny embellishment. Use as many of them as you want to embellish your page .


5.Find flowers , leaves, bows or buttons to put on your page. You must use at least three of them


6.Use Alphas to create a title for your page


7.Journal your page with at least three sentences. Don't forget to add your date. Feel free to create a journal box using a tag or a journal box.


What happens after a Speed Scrap? The participants email the hostess/instructor their pages and everyone gets to see them. Here are everyone's layouts. Some are still coming in. So check back periodically for for more pages and Don't forget to check back at the end of the day for the winner. The winner will get 5 12x12 individual pages printed through HM. The winner will be randomly drawn from a hat and you will get one entry for every page you submit. Good luck!


Here are the entries:

1. My own design #1. I created this last night and it is what inspired today's rules. All of the artwork used in this page is from andiLyn Designs-Sunkissed Porch and a few other collections by her.


2. My 2nd Page I made in just a few minutes today to demonstrate how to use HM studio. Most of the artwork on this page is from Ellie Lash Studios and a few wonderful things from Heritage Makers Premiere Collection of Artwork by Scrapgirls.


3. Jennifer Gray. All of this is from HM premiere artwork. She plans to frame this 12x12 and put it on her wall so she chose not to put a journaling block. This will look great on her wall.


4. These two pages are from Bonnie Covel. All HM premiere artwork. I love this fun colored kit backed up with the brown background. It really makes the colors pop off of the page the way they should. (her name will get entered twice because of her two entries. She really speed scrapped)


5. This is by Amber. These are very cute pictures of a real life Power Ranger Zach. Zach is really a real life hero in the fact that he is fighting the battle against cancer. He got this costume while staying in New York where he spends most of his time going between the hospital and the Ronald MacDonald House. Thank heaven for heroes like Zach.



6. This next one is from Karen Adams. I love the warn papers and the bling she found for her page. It makes you want to be a part of their traditions. Click Here to be taken to a view of her family's holiday tradition

7. This is from Carrie Rodriguez. She three wonderful pages. I love the one of her son in his dress blues. So appropriate on Veterans Day and also with it being the Marine Corps Birthday yesterday. Oh-rah! She will be entered three times for the three pages she made
First Page Here

Second Page Here

Third Page Here
8. This next one is by Kim Hubert. She featured a wonderful page with a photo of nature....You don't have to wait for the fog to pass to know that this page is beautiful. Click here to check out the scenery.

9. Kelly Robinson made a wonderful tribute to her man. I love it. I think so many times we focus on our children and we leave out our spouse. What a great tribute page. Check it out here

10. More pages to come. I am waiting for two more submissions. Check back later.

Thank you so much ladies for participating today and for being so patient with me as I stumbled through the audio technical difficulties. I am hosting another one next Tuesday night the 18th at 9pm EST. So if you would like to join us just click here to register.

This was so fun. Thanks, Channon, for hosting and lets do many, many more. I would be open to hosting some too. I would love to get a regular Speed Scrap club going.

I am smiling. The wonderful young man in the Marine uniform is my 2nd son. (His older brother headed for USMC boot camp 4 months after him). And it is his wonderful wife with him. My husband is the less than younger, but also wonderful man in the bottom picture in my first submission. Thanks for posting and hosting.
