ValerieT Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It's time to kick off the new year with some fun and a focus on scrapbooking! Join us on Scrap Girls Forum for "Jumpstart January!" This game and challenge focuses on taking time to scrapbook regularly despite the little "speedbumps" of life. When the month is over you'll have completed several layouts and been treated to some fun along the way. Some tasks will require message board participation or gallery posting. check each days task for that day's requirements. Upload your layouts to the Hodge Podge Gallery. Those who complete all tasks and upload all the layouts will be entered in a drawing to win one of two $10 Gift Certificates to the Scrap Girls Shop. Each person who completes a layout will be entered, once for each completed challenge page, into a drawing for one of three $3 gift certificates. You have until 11:59pm ET on January 31st 2019 to complete the tasks and post your layouts to the Hodge Podge Gallery. There are no daily time limits. After each task 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...
ValerieT Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Here is today's task. Task One; 1st Jan Did you take a lot of photos over Christmas? Have you downloaded them to your computer? Take some time today to make sure you have downloaded all the photos from your digital devices. Not just your camera, don't forget your phone and tablet. You may also want to contact friends and family for copies of their photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 This is something I need to do. I took a lot of photos with the new gadgets for my camera. It will be interesting to see how many are usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatricemi Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I need to get on it. I took the photos off my phone and the Christmas Eve photos from my camera but I keep forgetting to grab my photos from Christmas day. I'll do that today. Thanks for the reminder.

ladyscrapalot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Sadly I didn’t take any holiday pictures but I do need to make sure everything is backed up. Will do this after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I've been trying to get my Project Life layouts done, so I have been mostly keeping up with getting photos off my phone and camera every few days. I'm good on this task! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I need to take my photos off my camera and phone. I got a new ehd to replace the one I keep my supplies on and it took days to transfer it all over. I really don't have that much stuff, it just took forever. I like to make sure I have everything backed up before starting the new year. And since I keep my photos chronologically and start a new folder for scrapbook pages each year, I get clean, uncluttered folders to start the new year off! Silly, I know, but it's the little things, rofl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I spent way more time than I wanted to on this, LOL. When did I get so many photo-taking devices in my life??? I'm pretty sure ALL the December photos are now on my desktop computer, however, in one big December 2018 file. Whew! This was a great task for beginning the month!

angleigh Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm horrible about taking photos over the holiday...I don't think I have 1 single one. UGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I took far less than usual this year. I guess it's because the kids are getting older. But they are all on my ehd now, waiting to be backed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I want to scrap some of the photos I took of our harbor cruise to see Christmas lights, so I'll pick 3 of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Task Three, 4th Jan Add four papers and nine embellishments to your layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I needed a template for all those papers and embellishments! I used CWX: SG special template and her Good Mood templates. I used papers and embellishments from SRO Deck the Halls, BMU Christmas Spirit, FLO Hello Santa Claus, and AFT Whitewashed papers. The page is fancier than I usually make, but so far I'm pleased.
