Speed Scrapping...

I participated in my first "speed scrap" tonight and let me say it was fun, but stressful. There were 7 "rules" posted starting at a certain time. A new rule was given every 10 minutes and then you were given about one more hour to finish. For about the first 20 min. I was looking in the wrong place for the rules, I kept wondering why they hadn't posted any.

In all, it lasted about 2 hours... but of course I had issues. I had mine done in time, but could NOT get it to load on the website. I posted it a few minutes late anyway since I did it. It was fun, the site is doing 4 more this weekend... maybe I can squeeze one in. Here's the layout I did... and the rules we were given... (it's a good think I figured out templates about a week ago or I would not have gotten past instruction #1)

Instruction #1: Pick a template that is for ONE photo.
Instruction #2: The one photo you use onthe template must not be of a whole person...so crop out just the feet or face or something like that.
INSTRUCTION #3: USE PRIMARY OR BRIGHT BLUE ON YOUR LAYOUT, PASTEL BLUE IS ALLOWED, BUT DOESN'T COUNT FOR THIS INSTRUCTION.
INSTRUCTION #4: USE POLKA DOTS SOMEWHERE ON YOUR PAGE
INSTRUCTION #5: USE A SCATTER ON YOUR PAGE.
INSTRUCTION #6: USE WORD ART ON YOUR PAGE.
FINAL INSTRUCTION: USE AN ALPHA FOR YOUR TITLE, DATE AND JOURNAL YOUR PAGE AND POST TO THE SPEED SCRAP #134 GALLERY BY 11:15PM
