Tuesday 23rd: Use-Those-Papers Speed Scrap

[Toiny]

Hey all,

Just to entice you to join me for my Speed Scrap this afternoon/tonight (2:00 pm EST).



Everyone in the chat will be give this paper pack FREE. You will be welcome to use this for the Speed Scrap (it's called Use-those-papers for a reason) or any paper pack(s) of your choice.

And Directions for anyone participating post Chat (pssst, I will pick one lucky winner to give away the freebie too as well):

Step 1: Download papers and/or choose 5-10 papers from your own stash.
Step 2: Choose 1 photo. Make 1 copy, convert to black & white (you now have 2 photos)
Step 3: Place your background paper. Just 1. Plain(ish) is best.
Step 4: Choose a solid shape (square, circle, rectangle, heart, butterfly)
Step 5: Arrange 6-12 copies of the shape on your paper. Add drop shadows.
HINT: Mine are 3 rows by 3 columns = 9 shapes
Step 5: Clip a different paper to each shape, except for 2 shapes. Leave unclipped.
Step 6: Clip a copy of the photo, 1 color, 1 black-n-white to the remaining 2 shapes.
Step 7: Add a title or wordart near the bottom
Step 8: Add plain black clipart (heart, butterfly, boat, caterpillar) to top corner

[allergy_mom]

Okay, just found Boston time... looks like I'm two hours late :-(
Sorry! I'll come back and follow your directions anyway... this month's all about papers!

[kimberkatt]

oh, poo! We missed you!

Darn it Toiny - I'm having trouble following the "rules" here! You're making me think waaaaaayyyyy too hard!! LOL!

So I didn't come around to chatting much. I was i bit late and I also had trouble understanding the rules. Think I figured them out though, at least I managed to make a page!!

Boy, that was tough! Thanks for the challenge!

Hey, Toiny! Thanks for the papers... they were just what my page needed! (though I did use two rather than one for my background and applied artistic license to your rules in a couple other areas as well...) ;-)

Here's the finished product, which I LOVE!

I finally finished my layout! Can you make it any harder next time?! Thanks for those totally adorable papers Toiny! No need for anything else! ROFL! I just realized I used the same background you did - great minds!!

Kim! That is an adorable LO!!!! I love, love that pic of Dom and the basic black is really the perfect trimming with those papers. Great job.
