ScrapMatters SpeedScrap

I participated in another speed scrap tonight- There were the 7 rules, each given at 10 minute intervals, and then we had another hour to finish our layouts before they needed to be posted- here are the rules:


1. Pick 2-3 pictures, black & white or color, and arrange them in a line or a grid. That's kind of two instructions for the price of one. It was hard to get it down to seven total directions!
2. Pick your background paper—it needs to be black or very dark brown or very dark blue. It can be plain or patterned.
3. Place your pictures on your paper and stitch them down. You read it right—they must be stitched down. I don’t care how much stitching, but every picture has to have at least one stitch on it.
4. Title—Your title must contain two words and only two words. You can use a font or an alpha or a combination of the two.
5. Elements—Whatever elements you choose to use, must be tucked part way under at least one of the pictures. No floating elements!
6. Almost there—now use a definition to define one of the words in your title. It should also pertain to your layout—the dictionary is fine. It can be word art or just text.
7. Last one! For this LO you can’t add any real journaling, just your definition and names of people in the pictures and the date. Of course what you do with it after the speed scrap is up to you! But your definition should really cover most of it.

and here's what I came up with:

I guess I'm liking the bracket thing lately-

Stitches from All in Stitches by Britt-ish Designs, everything else from Gypsy Song by me- Suzie Belle Designs.

There's another speed scrap set for 10am Pacific time on 6/26- you should try it out and see how fun it is!
