Speed Scraps Layouts

I totally forgot to post all these layouts. Last week I did 4 Speed Scraps and I LOVED it. This week I have only done 1 so far and am going crazy! I need my Speed... scraps!

This one is my son Ryan. Speed Scrap was at ScrapMatters. Kit is called I wish I were the Moon by Amy Riley at Snap and Scrap. Click Here for Full Credits.


This was just tonight at ScrapMatters. Most everything used is from Nicole Young... Click Here for full credits.


This one was for a speed scrap last week at Digi-Designs by Nicole's forum. Kit is called Conte de Fee from Petit Moineaux. White stitched alpha is from Ellie Lash and typed letters is Grungy Alpha Thingies by Krystal Hartley.


This was a speed scrap last week also but this time at Digital Candy... hosted by Jessica Edward. Kit is called Bohemian by Chris Greiser... available at Divine Digital.


Lastly, this one is from a speed scrap at ... wow, I think I confused them all. It is late - after 2AM. I will fix this post in the morning. But the kit below is called Sparkle of Love by Trixie Scraps and is available at Digital Candy. It is the SAME kit my new blog header is made of.

The ultimate challenge

How many Speed Scraps can you scrap in a scrapping day? How many Speed Scraps can you scrap in a scrapping day? How many Speed Scraps can you scrap in a scrapping day? How many Speed Scraps can you scrap in a scrapping day? Ok... enough! I participated in TWO SPEED SCRAPS today. One right after the other... and I actually like both layouts.

First up was a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters. Great instructions on this one. I used a new kit that just hit the store at My Scrap Shop called Whimsical Wonderland (BOY) by Ladybug Pages. This kit is adorable. I didn't even come close to using all the elements, but there is a dragon that is almost as cute as my kid. :) There is a girl version also... I will post a LO with that tomorrow. Right now you can get a FREE add-on kit. Go check out Ladybug Pages blog and remember to say thank you.

Immediately after uploading my layout at ScrapMatters, I got an IM from Nicole to go to Gingersnap's forum, where they were having a Speed Scrap also. So off I went and it was already 45 minutes into the hour. Yikes, but "gotter done". I used a cute kit I had been hanging onto (there are sooo many of those). The kit was called Bonheur dans le pre by Chriscrap. She sells at Digital Crea and ScrapMalin, both of which have the best freebie kits!! Chriscrap also has freebies on her blog and an occasional extra for newsletter subscribers. The extra large word art is from Bethany at Elegant Word Art. She offers great word art FREE almost daily, along with a good dose of life.

And I did a Speed Scrap on Tuesday but totally forgot to post my layout. I really, really love this one. I used a mini kit called Mystic from Chris Greiser (Sketch me if you can). If you like the look of this kit, make sure you check out her shop at Divine Digital. A few things are from Ellie Lash's Bubbalicious collab and others. You can check out the full credits here.

Ok... next Speed Scrap this week is FRIDAY at Digi-Designs by Nicole Forum... see you there!

RAK recipient - what a special treat!

Today I received an email from one of my FAVORITE designers - Chris Greiser. She sells over Divine Digital and if you haven't been to that shop - you NEED to go. She is currently in the Sunshine Studios designer competition and based on all her kits - and if I were the judge - she would definitely be the winner! So my beautiful RAK is her final round kit! It will soon be in the shop at Divine Digital so make sure you go get it. So, check out my layout made with Chris's kit called Elven Wood. Isn't this the most adorable kit ever??? Say yes - because it surely is.
So head over to Chris's blog - Sketch me if you can - and leave her lots of love so she continues to make these adorable kits. You are in for a treat when you get there because some of you are template lovers - yea! I know who you are... ha ha. Chris is now hosting a challenge at Divine and you can get a FREE template for playing... While you are at her blog, scroll around and you will see the awesome previews for Elven Wood.

Chris - thank you so much. This was a truly great and surprising gift. Nothing makes my day better than getting to play with super cute kits.

Speed Scrap 11.18 with a super awesome kit!!!!

I had bought a new kit called Comfy Cozy from Chris Greiser over at Divine Digital earlier this week and have been just waiting to use it. I actually couldn't figure out which pic to use and what papers there were so many great elements and papers in this kit! I will have to make at least 2 more LO's. I am in love with the striped paper and the dotted one! Brown, cream, orange and greens - love the combo! Oh wait, it sounds like the combo on my new couches - Ha! This kit is on sale for $2.00 so hurry up to Divine Digital and grab it - NOW! Plus if you use this kit to make a layout, you can get a free mini kit - just post your link on Chris's blog...check it out. Ahhh... Speed Scrap! I got my fix - I know, I sound like a junky! There is another Speed Scrap tomorrow at 6pm PST so write it down, don't forget and see you there. Today's SS was hosted by Monique and she was so kind.

Here are our great instrucions (if you want to try it at home):

1. Pick one photo and crop it into a square shape or use a square(ish) clipping mask.
2. Use both solid and patterned paper in your layout; you can pick how many!
3. Blend an embellishment into the background, using ‘overlay’ or ‘soft light’ blending mode
4. Make sure there is something repeated in your layout. It can be a shape, text or an embellishment, as long as it’s there at least twice!
5. Use stitching on your layout.
6. Give your page a single word title and make it stand out!
7. Add at least 2 lines of journaling.
