THANK YOU for joining us – we hope you had as much fun as we did!  Have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you all back here on Monday for another LOTW!!!

P.S. – If you didn’t join us LIVE for our Fast and Fabulous speed scrap, you can still play along yourself (in your own time)!  We’d love to see your layouts in the gallery, too!

1. Find ONE special photo and something to frame it. For your choice of frame you can be as creative as you want – an actual frame, a brush/stamp, stitching, paper matting, etc.
2. Add TWO solid papers and THREE patterned papers to your layout.  The patterns should be one polka-dot, one plaid and one other style just for fun! (Do you have a striped paper that coordinates with the other papers instead of a plaid? Here is super quick tip from Rosy to turn that stripe into plaid – Click here!)
3. Add FOUR different types of elements to your page. You may use as many of each element type as you wish. Some examples of element types: buttons, flowers, stickers, ribbons, etc.
4. Find FIVE places to add a fastener. Some examples of fasteners: tape, stitching, photo corners, staples, brads, pins, etc. You can use more than one type.
5. Add as much or as little journaling as you want…but you need to start your journaling off with a QUESTION in one font…and then ANSWER it in another font. (…any extra text and dates are considered ‘freebies’ – so that means it is totally up to you what you add to your page and where)
6. Finally, add a teeny-tiny TITLE and you’re done!

That’s it! :o) …you’ve now received all 6 of your instructions. You may not add any other elements to your page that haven’t been explicitly stated in the instructions :o) Also remember that fonts are “free” and you can add EXTRA journaling and/or a date to your page if you wish (as well as anything else you would like to do with fonts/text).

Please post your layout here by 11PM EST (one hour and ten minutes from now – so make sure you allow enough time!) in order to qualify for the prize drawings. If you are having trouble uploading your layout to the gallery, you can find help HERE.

Happy Scrapping!!

 IMPORTANT:

In just a short while (1 hour to be exact!) we’ll post the first instruction right here on the blog!  If you’ve never participated in an event like this before, you’re in for a treat!  Here’s a little more information on how things will work:

• I’ll provide one instruction for you every 10 minutes.
• Often the instruction will tell you a type of material to use.  If no specific instruction is given on how to use that piece of material, then that means it’s totally up to you!
• Text/Fonts…are “freebies” and can be used without being explicitly called for in the instructions.  This is primarily because journaling is a personal preference, and some folks love it and some don’t :o)
• If you have questions about the instruction, please post a comment on the ‘instructions’ blog post.  We’ll answer your questions as quickly as possible!
• The last instruction will be posted at 9:50PM EST. You’ll have an additional hour to “play with” your layout, but you must post your finished layout to the gallery HERE by 11:00PM EST to qualify for the prize drawings!
• If you are having trouble uploading your layout to the gallery, you can find help HERE.

We’ll post the FIRST INSTRUCTION at 9PM EST sharp! (REMEMBER that’s United States Eastern Daylight Savings Time, folks!!)

We hope to see you then! :o)

NEW to desktops??  If you are interested in our free desktops, but have no idea how to insert your own photos – please visit our TUTORIALS page and refer to the USING THE PIECE-A-CAKE .PNG FILES TO CREATE AN ALBUM titles :o)  We offer this tutorial in both screen shot and video format, for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.  And, while the tutorial is not specifically for the desktops – the concepts are very much the same…and should help out a lot!

As a lil’ reminder, the text on the canvas tag and the pic of my sweet niece…well, they are on my preview example only – your download will be blank, of course :o)  That way – you can personalise it with your own photo and messages.  Hope you enjoy this one!  And remember that you can always find our latest free desktop by clicking the FREE DESKTOPS category located on the right side of the blog!

Happy you stopped by!! :o)  See you tomorrow for the Fast & Fabulous Speed Scrap!  We will start scrapping together at 9PM EST (United States Eastern Daylight Savings Time)…soooo looking forward to it! :o)
