ValerieT Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 After a hectic, layout filled month we thought we would slow things down and take it a bit easier with a nature themed Slow Scrap. Every day, Monday to Saturday, we will give you a step that will lead to a finished layout based around that week’s nature theme. The first three layouts will consist of six steps each, the last layout will consist of eight steps. Members who complete the steps required in the game thread and post all 4 layouts in the Slow Scrap Gallery will be entered in a drawing for one of two $10.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates. Each completed layout posted in the Slow Scrap Gallery, up to 4 per member, will be entered in a drawing for one of three $3.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates. You have until 11:59pm EDT on June 30th 2015 to complete the steps and post your layouts to the Slow Scrap Gallery. There are no daily time limits. At no point will we tell you to add your photos. It will be up to you to decide which photos to use and how many. You could do a photo-less layout, or even an art journal one. It’s up to you. You can make changes to your layout as the week progresses. After each step we would like you to post your progress in this thread. Here is how; Make sure you save your layout as a PSD/layered file first. Save your layout as a .JPEG at 72ppi with a size of 4 x 4 inches (288 x 288 pixels) this is smaller than you would normally save for the web. Follow the first part of this tutorial by Carla How To Post Images In The Forum to post your "progress" in the game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nica Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Love me a slow scrap...maybe I can actually get some layouts done! In my projects folder, it's been since March. Yikes! I chose papers from Luau Collection Mini. I just plopped them on there for the time being until I know what we're going to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieB Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Oh, thank goodness, after last month, I need a slow scrap. Nature sounds like a great theme. I'll choose papers later - car apt. this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I didn't finish the Memories of May Forum Game. I just got too far behind to catch up. Only four layouts this month might be a lot better for me. I'll give it a whirl. And I have plenty of 'nature' photos to choose from, as well as nature collections and such to choose from. Off we go.....

ladyscrapalot Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This sounds like fun! I think I will have to sit this round out as I have some other projects I want to work on. Speaking of work I have on be leave for over a month and will be starting back next week. Even though it's only 4 LO don't know how much extra energy I'll have left. I'll check in from time to time to see what transpires though. Good luck ladies!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Doris R Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm going to try this. I chose three neutral papers from Doris Castle's Amour Collection. I placed them on top of each other, and masked the second layer. Hope it will work with the next tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This sounds like a great change of pace. And I love the nature theme! I chose papers from Brandy Murry's A Gardener's Diary and just put them on the page. I'll move them around later when I see what's next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how serendipitous, I went on a nature walk Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
