===>> Here for SS#8 <<===

Hi everyone, we'll be starting the next speed scrap in about 45 minutes. I am shaking I'm so nervous!!

I hope you'll bear with me as I haven't done this before. I think I may have complicated the instructions.

So to give you a little hint, look for 2 (max 3) photos with one key color you want to highlight.

Please remember to use our chat room!! http://client14.addonchat.com/chat.php?id=474111

Oh and turn off the email notification for this thread (the first time you post in this thread, select "No email notification"). I'm hoping this will save the server a little and not flood your inbox.

For those that participate, here is what I will give you:
http://mousescrappers.com/img/pics/fireworkspack.jpg

Okay here is step 1:

1. select two or three photos

a. Look at your photos... select ONE color to highlight (perhaps the most vibrant, or the color of the most 'important' item in the photo). If you can, get the hexadecimal color code I'll refer to this as the 'primary' color.

PSE tip: to get the hexadecimal color code, use the eyedropper tool. See help here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photosho...23F39_WIN.html

b. Go to http://www.colorschemedesigner.com/ and select the "complementary" color palette (click on the "complement" link on the upper left)

2. Prepare your background canvas with three layers: all should be square. Layer 1 and 3 should be white (either paint or paper). Layer 2 should be your primary color - use paint or a paper that is VERY CLOSE to your primary color. Stitch your layers together (straight stitch, zig zag, etc).

3.Select up to three 'grungy' elements from your files (paint splatters, ink spots, etc) and color them the complementary color. Stamp them on layer 3 (covering only about 1/3 of the space)
(layer 3 is your top layer so far)

4. Now you can place your photos on the page. :) Make one photo larger than the other. Give each a white border (you can do this by drawing a white rectangle slightly larger than your photo, then moving it behind your photo). Be sure to add shadows to your photos!

5. Create a title and color it your complementary color.

6. Two required elements:
#1: Tuck a ribbon under your photos - the dominant color of your ribbon should be your primary

#2: put a LARGE circular object under your photos - it should be very opaque or clear - just very little color. Don't shadow this circular object.

7. Finish work: Add more elements to decorate your page. All elements should be a shade on your color palette - most of them should be of the complimentary color (or neutral). Maybe add one primary color element for some pop; add shadows and a date - journaling is optional.

It will be great!!! The prize looks awesome! I'm off to find a few pics. :)

Hey Carol! I'm excited to scrap with you! Thanks for hosting and your PP is GORGEOUS!!! You've got this, girlfriend. You are totally fine just doing your thing. Besides, this is a great community you've gathered together. We're all here to have fun and help each other out.

It will be fun!! :yeah:

It will be fun, and the PP is beautiful :yeah:

Just hope i can keep up with your complicated instructions :yes:

Got my pics and page idea all ready just hoping it goes with the rules lol Gotta meet some friends for dinner(I'm in the UK) and hoping I can get it done!

I´m here!!! Love the PP!:woohoo:

Hi Carol! You'll be great! Now I just have to figure out how to get into the chat room.

Please go in the chat room... we don't want to upset my hosting service or they will shut us down. There is no password, just use your MouseScrappers username for your username so we know who you are. :)

I love this prize, I have been trying to make fireworks myself but they aren't so great!

I'm back for my second speed scrap, I am so in love with your pp Carol I can not wait to get my hands on it :yeah:

Ready for the start in 10mins :scrapbooking:

Okay here is step 1:

1. select two or three photos

a. Look at your photos... select ONE color to highlight (perhaps the most vibrant, or the color of the most 'important' item in the photo). If you can, get the hexadecimal color code I'll refer to this as the 'primary' color.

b. Go to http://www.colorschemedesigner.com/ and select the "complementary" color palette (click on the "complement" link on the upper left)

To enter your hex code on colorschemedesigner, look for the "RGB" at the lower right of the wheel

I can't get into the chat room. :(

I've downloaded JavaScript & rebooted my computer and still no go.

2. Prepare your background canvas with three layers: all should be square. Layer 1 and 3 should be white (either paint or paper). Layer 2 should be your primary color - use paint or a paper that is VERY CLOSE to your primary color. Stitch your layers together. (straight stitch, zig zag, etc)

hmmm, I can't get the chat room to open...
anyone else having problems?

I think a couple people are having trouble, but there are a lot of people in there now.

3.Select up to three 'grungy' elements from your files (paint splatters, ink spots, etc) and color them the complementary color. Stamp them on layer 3 (covering only about 1/3 of the space)

(layer 3 is your top layer so far)

I can't get in either and I have a question about stitching the layer together..

I'm a little late but I'm going to hop in. I'll try to join the chat.... never done that before.

to clarify, use stitches (straight stitch, zig zag, etc)

Thanks Carol, that's what I thought it was...

4. Now you can place your photos on the page. :) Make one photo larger than the other. Give each a white border (you can do this by drawing a white rectangle slightly larger than your photo, then moving it behind your photo). Be sure to add shadows to your photos!

You can also use the "stroke" tool if you have one

5. Create a title and color it your complementary color.

oh darn, i think i have to swap my pics. i was actually going to use "white" as my main color.

wonder if i can reverse some of the instructions to still get the white as my main color?

6. Two required elements:
#1: Tuck a ribbon under your photos - the dominant color of your ribbon should be your primary

#2: put a LARGE circular object under your photos - it should be very opaque or clear - just very little color. Don't shadow this circular object.

The Tower Of Terror

What a challenge. Thanks for hosting. I did not pick the right pictures for this so I will have to go back and tweek things later. I loved the color of the sky in these pictures, but mabey I should have chosen a color in the building itself.
