Over the past couple months, I have been attending a weekly event called "Speed Scraps". It is an online digi crop host by fellow HM Consultant, Channon Zabel who I have never met, but I am comfortable to call "my friend". We chat on the webinars and through facebook posts and email. I love her creativity and willingness to take time out of her busy schedule to host an event like this every week so that other digital designers and Heritage Makers can come together and do up a new page with fresh ideas with her help, guidance and cool "7 rules".If you are interested in attending these "Speed Scraps", please CLICK HERE to join her facebook group!
Here is the definition of a "Speed Scrap":
7 instructions in 60 minutes with results of one great page.
You will be given a new rule or instruction for your page every 10 minutes. You will end up with one fantastic page. At the end of the first hour you will be given one extra hour to finish up your page and get it posted to the forum on facebook.
Here were the rules for June 2nd's Speed Scrap that lead to the design of this page:
1. Pick out a quote you love and find a picture that matches that quote. Do something fun with your quote by making one of the words either a piece of word art, make it out of alphas, or make one word a larger font.
2. Duplicate your one picture and focus in on one part and crop it out. Frame that picture and put it somewhere on your page.
3. Place two frames behind or on your larger full frame picture.
4. Now chose a solid piece of paper for your background paper. Chose a 2nd piece of paper, patterned or solid, make it fairly large and make a circle out of it. Send the circle behind your pictures.
5. Wrap your larger single photo that has two frames with a ribbon or rubber band.
6. Embellish with three (no more, no less) pieces of ribbon
7. Embellish with however many other pretty little things you want (hearts, stars, flowers) Remember less is more! And remember CLUSTER and rule of three.
