A Speed Scrap & Photoshop Friday

The March 2012 Blog Train can be found HERE

I've been having fun over at jessicasprague.com ~ and adding more layouts to my "to be printed" folder.

On Thursday night, I participated in a Speed Scrap. Every 10 minutes, a new requirement for the layout was added. In an hour, I had a layout completed - start to finish. I used my just released "Shades of Gray" collection for this layout. (available and on sale at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking)


On Friday morning, a new Photoshop Friday 2012 class was waiting for me. This template was so much fun - and I could not wait to scrap my daughter's last day as a seventeen year old.(She was nice enough to pose for the obligatory picture)

Hope you are enjoying your weekend....by the Shore.

Love a Speed Scrap

I love speed scraps - a fun way to challenge yourself to get something done and in your "to be printed" folder.....the only thing better than ONE Speed Scrap is to participate in TWO - just days apart.

This is a layout I completed during a Speed Scrap hosted by Precepts and Promises (Barbara) at Faith Sisters. She provided this lovely mask - which was perfect for this theme. The best part was being able to remember someone near and dear to me - totally had a smile on my face as I cherished a few memories.

The next speed scrap was hosted at Jessicasprague.com by "mymalloryboys" of the JS Creative Team. Another layout that brought smiles as I pulled it all together. My girls are ever so precious to me (and I tend to take a lot of photos - go figure)

Here is a preview of my Playful Collection - and it is available HERE at Faithsisters. If you have never participated in a Speed Scrap - I encourage you to step outside of that comfort zone. They are fun and easy! The host/hostess of the speed scrap provides prompts every few minutes letting you know what to add to your layout (and how). You have no idea what is coming next, you move forward in faith that it will all come together (and you know what, it almost always done!) Speed scraps are typically an hour in duration - and it is an awesome feeling to hit "save as" and know that you have another layout to add to your collection!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.....by the Shore.
