Aw, I don't know how she's going to fall asleep!

[calliclaire]

Hmmm....I am sure the cotton candy she came inside eating is not going to help! I just hope she doesn't get sick as she has just gotten over a tummy bug. I do NOT want to be cleaning up puke all night again...please!

Instructions:
1. The first one is going to be easy, but since it always takes me the longest...find a kit that will give you the ability to do some clusters and/or scatters (I don't care of what).
2. Hopefully I'll explain this well. Choose 2 solid or semi-solid papers and position them so one of them takes up 1/3 of the background and the other 2/3. In other words, 2 full sheets of paper will be used--one as background and the other one covering about 1/3 of the space vertically.
3. Choose 2-3 close-up photos and crop them into rectangles. Place them vertically along the seam of both papers so that they are spread out a bit.
4. Find a swirly ribbon (or two) and place it vertically so that it loops over, under, and around your photos. You want to connect the photos with ribbon.
5. Start clustering and/or scattering elements around your photos so that you're loosely covering the seamed area. You can use whichever elements you'd like and repeat them as often as you like.
6. Journal if you wish and add a title.
7. Add anything extra you think will complete your page, make sure to shadow everything and upload to the speed scrap gallery when you're finished.

You have until 11:15 pm EST. (Which means that I need to start working, because I'm really, really behind!). By the way, I based this SS on a layout I saw by Becca that I just loved. I'll show it to you later, but I don't want to influence anyone's pages!

NOOOO! You have to show us the page!!!!!!!!!

[calliclaire]

Yes...I want to see the page! THANKS for a fun time!!!! I will leave everyone love in the gallery...looking forward to seeing your layouts!

Great instructions! I love all of Becca's lo's so I can't wait to see our inspiration!!

[scrapmami]

I'll show it to you when everyone has uploaded. But part of the fun (for me, anyway) of speed scraps is seeing how many different ways the same instructions can be interpreted (and in my case, seeing how well I explained her layout to you! )

[talwahfrench]

Oh this is so not going to be good! I'm having a hard time with the papers, so we shall see what happens.

[scrapmami]

That's funny, Talia, cause that has been my most difficult step so far, too! And there are still so many more to go!

[talwahfrench]

What do you mean by taking up 1/3 of the page vertically?

[scrapmami]

If you divide your page into vertical thirds, one of your papers should be covering 2/3 and the other only 1/3.

[SunshineState]

OK, I'm done. Should I post now or wait until everyone is done?

[calliclaire]

Post ... post...I want to see. I am ALMOST done...just working on a title!

[scrapmami]

I want to see it, too!

[calliclaire]

Oh, I just saw it...LOVE it!!!! Great layout!
