12 Days of Christmas PS - Day 1

[Min]

Welcome all to the 12 Days of Christmas PS!!!

Disclaimer: in case you're wondering (or worrying, LOL) - in this PS there won't be any maids, swans, pipers, lords, partridges, pear trees or similar involved. Also you will not be required to go a-milking, a-laying or a-swimming. You *are* required to do some a-leaping when you see all the gorgeous papers and elements I will give you in the next 12 days (you're welcome to have someone take your picture while you're a-leaping and post it here , but that's not a requirement, LOL)!

We will be playing with theStudio's December Mega "Reindeer Games":

Here come the rules:

This progressive scrap will go on for 12 days. Each day I will give you a download link with some papers or elements you are required to use according to this day's instructions. Since this is the 12 Days of Christmas PS you will probably have guessed that there will be a lot of adding in the last days... so you might keep the resizing option in mind!!!

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.

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 they're placed you 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 Dec 23rd 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!

We will start nice and easy - here is your first download, 4 wonderful papers, created by Aimee aka Aimee Harrison Design Studios, Darlene aka Darlene H Designs, Christine aka Digilicious Designs and Steph aka Scrappy Cocoa (click image to download):

Instructions: Pick one paper as your background! (save the others for later)

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

Upload your layout to the Christmas Progressive Gallery, then come back here and post the link to your layout so I can pm you on Monday with the download link for Day 2!

Sounds like a fun progressive, Min!

[PamR]

Ok, day 1 was simple enough! What's next?

[Lynn]

Well, that was straightforward . But I notice that you said "We will start nice and easy" - makes me wonder what tricks you have up your sleeve for later

LOL - you can always do a "backwards" 12 days of Christmas PS, Barb ....Here are your directions for day 1:

Add 12 pieces of paper to your layout!!!

(I dare you... and everybody else who's up for it...!!!)

[ladydrake64]

Seems I'm following the crowd here in my first paper choice!

[Pups_r_Paps]

Here is my page for day 1 - what HAVE I gotten myself into :

[Miranda]

Min I don't know if I am gonna like this one. You are giving us 4 papers and we may only use one and you're saying we are starting nice and easy. That is not nice and not easy, hahahaha. Hope I made the right choice!

So here is my day one:


You can find it in the gallery here.

[MsKaty]

OK, I'm off and running! So far, so good! LOL

[LLPooh1]

12 days?? Oooh, this is going to be challenging!!

[Renee]

I'm gonna give this a try, but I agree the 12 days alone is a major challenge LOL



One question though,
I don't have a clue to what a-leaping means????

[hareraisers2]

Here's Day 1, pretty easy, wonder what you have in store for us?

You only gave us 4 pieces of paper so I used those to come up with 12 papers on my layout. You should have know that I'd have to take you up on this challenge.

[ckcpurple]

Been too long since I've done one of these so I'm going to try. I'd take the backwards challenge but not sure I'll be able to complete all 12 days as is. Sure going to try!!!



Thanks, Min, for hosting again!!!

I am assuming that it is only the people interested in the QP exchange that need to do a 12x12 layout. I've never done this before and am concerned about my 8.5X11 sizing. Also, I'm the only one so far to pick this paper! Wonder if that was a mistake!
