ValerieT Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Welcome to this month's forum game a colourful slow scrap At the beginning of each week we will give you two or three colour swatches to choose from. Just pick your favourite to use for that week. Every day, Monday to Saturday, we will give you a step that will lead to a finished layout. The first layout will have five steps. Layouts two, three and four will have six steps each. The last layout will have four steps. Members who complete the steps and post all 5 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 5 per member, will be entered in a drawing for one of three $3.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates. You have until 11:59pm ET on May 31st 2018 to complete the steps and post your layouts to the Slow Scrap Gallery. There are no daily time limits. You can make changes to your layout as the week progresses. After each step you can post your progress in this thread if you wish. PLEASE NOTE; THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. 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 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...

Belle Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I must first check out my photos before I decide. Can we use a touch of colour in the B & W one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I went home sick today. Had to reschedule some lectures I was supposed to give. Can’t speak well when you’re coughing! I’ll go with the cat swatch... reminds me of my old black and white cat, Pongo. I might have to scrap some photos of him, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
