Come and Speed Scrap with me Saturday March 2 at 9 PM Central! Hope you can join me We will be in the chat room. I will try to post the steps here as soon as I can too. You will have until 9 am Sunday March 3 to complete your layout and get a coupon to my store. Please post/link your layouts in this thread as well so we can all enjoy them.

step 1: Pick out 6-7 papers and 2-3 photos
step 2: Make one paper your background paper. Take the rest of the papers and keeping them aligned- distribute them over at least 1/3 of your page. You can do this straight, or try turning the stack of papers at a 45 degree angle and get a kindof large triangle look
step 3: pick some frames and place your photos toward the middle of your page. You can cluster them, or line them up or tuck a corner of them under one or two of your paper layers
step 4: pick some elements (at least 5) and tuck them around your photos or use them to pin your photos and frames down
step 5: (last step) pick a title and journal if you like, add shadows and finishing touches to your page. Save and upload to the gallery and forum thread for us to enjoy too

How exciting Kim! My hubby and I are taking our son for the first time in a couple weekends to the Grand Rapids one! I hope you get some great pictures to scrap too!

I'm going to try and make the SS but we are starting some remodel work in our kitchen tomorrow so it depends on how long we work / how long it takes to get our kitchen put back together!

Pre-Speed Scrap Hint: Tonight we are going to use the distribute tools in PS/PSE or whatever your program has. If you would like to learn how to do this before tonight's scrap you can view my Technique Challenge from last month: http://forums.gingerscraps.net/showt...324#post246324
