August 12 PS - Day1-

[Min]

Welcome to theStudio's August Progressive Scrap Challenge!


Our monthly Studio collabs are always fantastic and I absolutely love this month's Mega we will be using: Tropical Beach (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=315_317&products_id=13827):

https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/images/thestudio_tropicalbeach_preview.jpg (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=315_317&products_id=13827)


As usual, the rules:

This progressive scrap will go on for eight days. For the first seven days I will give you a download link with two or three pieces you are required to use according to this day's instructions. You have two days (Saturday and Sunday) to complete the last step (or catch up) and upload your finished layout.

The first download is free, you will get the others via pm after completion of the day before. You can join in until Wednesday, but you have to complete the days to get the next download - and your last layout should be done and posted by Sunday night!

You can recolor and/or crop the pieces or change their opacity but you have to use them as specified in each day's instructions and once placed are not allowed to move them. Make sure you save your layout in a .psd format so you are able to place new pieces below others if you should wish to do so.

On Monday night I will post a poll to choose the winner who gets this month's Mega for free! There's also a participation prize for all of you who finish their layouts - you will get a coupon for 1 $ off this Mega.

I will host a QP exchange for those of you who'd like to gather a great matching QP album - if you plan to participate, please make sure you create your layout at 12 x 12 in, 300 dpi!

This month we have really awesome papers in the mega, it was so hard to pick just a few, so you will get 6! papers today, to get you started! They were created by Amber aka Amber Shaw Design (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_213), Boo aka BooLand Designs (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_38), Janet aka JanetB Designs (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_366), Maureen aka Let Me Scrapbook, (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_189) Lou aka Loucee Creations (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_388) and Karen aka Snickerdoodle Designs (https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_372) (click image to download)

Instructions: Pick one paper as your background. Pick three more papers and add one piece of each to your background - these pieces may have any size or shape you choose.

If you have questions regarding the instructions, feel free to post them in this thread.

Upload your layout to the Progressive Scrap Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=1032), then come back here and post the link to your layout so I can pm you onTuesday with the download link for Day 2!

These are all great starts and so imaginative! I hope it's OK that I'm using a template as a guide. It won't end up just like it, but it's a good starting place for me. (Aida Scrap Dictionary Template c)

Great page, Jemima, unfortunately you're not allowed to use all papers for the PS layout:

"Instructions: Pick one paper as your background. Pick three more papers and add one piece of each to your background - these pieces may have any size or shape you choose."

So unfortunately I have to ask you to remove the additional pieces before I can give you the next download link...:o

[zanthia]

is it too late too join in?

[Min]

is it too late too join in?

No, you're still fine, just post your day 1 layout and I will pm you with the next download :D
