Here's a link to a great website to view all your fonts using a few words of your title or paragraph. I wish I had found this sooner! Finding the right font takes me forever sometimes.

Check it out! I found it on Facebook on Meagan's Creations.

This will be my first time AND I have never digi scrapped. But I like to print digital elements for paper scrapping use. I need to work on an autograph book for our upcoming trip and try to work on a mini from our Halloween trip last fall.

I missed the prechat (dang work got in the way) but I'm excited to play this weekend. 😀

I have been a member here for a while, but have never posted. Is it possible for me to participate in the marathon as a traditional scrapper? I also like to print the digital elements and use them in my traditional pages.

There have been a few do it that way. Just snap a photo of the layout and post it in the gallery, the speed scrap thread and in the correct thread in the forums. This is a great site to find someone knowledgeable and helpful. It's where I started and I love this place. Welcome!

If you have a smartphone you can download the Slack app and see what was discussed from the chats (up to a certain point) and check in that way as well. I saw someone else post they wanted to scrap traditionally and I suggested making the page and then snapping a photo of it. Post it in the speed scrap album, speed scrap thread, and the appropriate forum thread. If you need help there are always people around. People are nice here!

I am so excited about this weekend! I participated last year and had so much fun. Quick question- I earned the Minnie medal last year, however, I am not sure how to add it to my profile/ signature/ or wherever it goes. Would love any advice. Looking forward to tomorrow!

The basic rules of a speed scrap are very easy. You will receive an instruction at the beginning of the scrap hour and every ten minutes after that.

When you finish your layout you post it in the speed scrap album in the gallery. You copy the link under your layout that tells you "inked image" and post that link in the specific speed scrap thread. You then post the same link in the forum threads that correspond with your layout.

For example: If you scrap a Mickey Mouse layout you will need to go to the character thread in the forum and post it there as well as in the gallery and speed scrap thread.

It seems like it's a lot to do when you first start but it will get easier the more you do it. I was HORRIBLE at remembering to post in the thread other than the speed scrap thread when I started.

I will work on finding a link for you some time during the weekend that maybe helps you get it added to your signature. It took me a while to figure it out as well. the QUICK answer was i had to import the png to my software and I just added it to my signature And I see you already have a signature so you're one step ahead of where I was!!
