Are You Ready To Speed Scrap?!!!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

We are having, not one but two, Speed Scraps at ScrapMatters Tuesday, July 22nd.  We hope you can join us for both but if not we’d love to see you at one of them. The morning SS will be hosted by Ktkadoo (Katie) and will begin at 10 PDT, 11 MDT, 12 CDT, and 1 EDT.  The evening SS will be hosted by myself, Shari (SHARIng Creations) at 6 PDT, 7 MDT, 8 CDT and 9 EDT. 

I have put together two participation prizes for everyone that joins us. We hope to see you at both scraps but for those of you that can only participate in one your prize will be a mini kit I put together in honor of a very memorable family reunion I attended this past weekend. It’s titled “Our Family Reunion”.

For those of you that can actually make it to both Speed Scraps you will receive the above mini kit along with this coordinating word art kit.

I left a little clue as to the first rule at my speed scrap. You can find it in the forum here.  We’ll see you all in the Speed Scrap forum!!!

What Matters Monday

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Hi scrappers! Sorry for the late-ish post today!!

You know what matters to me in my scrapping these days? REALISM. I know it isn’t everyone’s style, but its TOTALLY my style. It matters to me that my pages look REAL. A lot of this is about shadowing, but it also has to do with realistic textures, papers, and elements. I also have to think about how things are placed, tied on, attached, etc. I’d love it if someone looked at one of my pages and thought for a second that it might be a paper LO! haha

Some examples of what I mean . . .

I love Matahati Designs’ kits! Her stuff is ALWAYS so realistic and full of depth! She has impeccable taste so using her stuff is a breeze. You’ll see that LOs using her stuff is SO REALISTIC!!!

This BEAUTIFUL layout by Jessica P (Jpranaitis).

Or this stunner by lenescobar!

And check this one out by fliffy!

Now – don’t get my wrong. I LOVE the effects we as digital scrappers are able to create that you can’t do in paper! But I’m a sucker for realism. :)

Love,
