January 27-29, 2012 Speed Scrap Marathon
 

Are you ready for our 3rd Annual Speed Scrap Marathon? I sure hope so! The planning is in the works for Jan 27-29th. Mark you calendars. You won't want to miss all the fun!

The format is basically like last year.... lots of Speed Scraps, tons of great prizes, lots of chatting, a half marathon goodie bag and a full goodie bag if you get them all completed. Yeah! I promise...you WILL want to be a part of the fun.

I will be back soon with more information, some specific times and some eye candy to tempt you. I just wanted to get the word out so you could mark your calendars and start chatting up the upcoming fun.

So are you excited? Are you ready? Let's :chat:

Thanks so much for organizing this, Melinda! Let me know what I can help with. :)

Woo hoo!! Guess I better get my report cards filled in early if possible! My goal is to get do them all so I can get a good start on last year's trip. Last year's speed scrap marathons finished my niece's first trip.

Yays! Can't wait! Thanks so much for putting this all together, Melinda. Let me know if you need any help. :)

Sounds Awesome! I can host one on the 28th in the morning or early afternoon.

So sad, I'll be away that whole weekend. :( maybe I can do one or 2 if I have free time or something.

I can't wait! Don't know of anything we have going on that weekend. I need to get my SBC 4.0 upgrade loaded so I can get used to it by then!

Thanks Julie. I will keep you posted.

Bummer.... :(

I know the timing isn't going to work for everyone, but do try to pop in when you can.

I hear it is different from 3.0. ;) I have decided to wait until my personal timing is better to learn something new... lol... but that is me....

Good luck in learning the new program. I will be asking for help from you later when I venture into that water... lol...

Woo... hoo... glad to hear how productive you were last year. Hopefully you can make a dent in another book this time. :)

Well shoot--I've been waiting for this, and I'll be out of town--won't even have web access then.

Awesome! in my Calendar

Yay, yay, yay!!! Can't wait!!!! :hooray::hooray::hooray:

I'm planning on finish a book this time! :scrapbooking:

This sounds fun. I'm hoping we have a good bit of time to finish our pages. So far I've only successfully completed 2 speed scraps. I'm working on getting faster though! If I can help in any way please let me know! -Roni

WooHoo!!! I love the Speed Scrap Marathon! I have very fond and funny memories from last years Marathon!! Looking forward to all the great fun!

Cool. Maybe I can finally get my DCL album done!!!!

I'm so bummed. I'll be out of town without access. I've been waiting on dates. So sad!!! I'd love a Monday midnight pst due date ;)

Just don't get rid of 3.0 because 4.0 is much slower. You may want to revert to 3.0 for the speed scraps just because of that.

:woohoo: can't wait...If you need any help let me know...

Can't wait!! I can host if needed...I had fun doing that last year!

urg, I have my 2 final examinations that weekend. (the 27th and the 28th) But I'll try to do as much SS as possible! they're always such fun!!

Woohooo!!! Don't think I've got anything on that weekend. I'll just have to make sure the DH watches the baby. Hehe. :yeah:

I did the mini monster one...I think I am going to have to try this. I am excited!

So fun! This will be the first weekend I have free in weeks. I'm so excited!

I just started scrapping again after tons of Mouse Scrappers withdrawls!! This is going to be perfect for getting me whipped back into scrappin' shape! :D

Can't wait! I need to get some scrapping done, so this will be a great kick-in-the-pants :D:D:D

Awesome, can't wait for all that scrapping fun!!

I just thought of this the other day and was bummed not to see anything on it. Now I'm super excited!

I am putting together the final schedule today. It is coming together very nicely. We have some amazing sponsors, designers and volunteers on this site. Thank you ladies! We have an awesome community!

I will be back tonight hopefully with the list of times...etc... and the sneaky peeks. :)

Yeah! It is going to be a crazy fun weekend.

Melinda,
Sounds like so much fun :woohoo: I did the mini monster SSM and it was great. Lookiing forward to this one!!:yeah:
Thanks for putting this together!:thanks:

This is going to be my first one!

How does it work actually? I will be at work on the 27th but, that won't stop me from trying to fit this in, just don't tell my boss :whistle:

I'll be gone for most of the 28th. I hope I can still do some of the challenges.

Oh, I'm so excited.

How long is each speed scrap? a few hours? Oh, the anticipation. :woohoo:

YAY!!! Can't wait to see the schedule and see what I can fit in. I didn't join until March last year so this will be my first one too.

A good place to learn about speed scraps is this thread here Speed Scrap Tips and Tricks

In general, speed scraps at MouseScrappers give 4 hours to complete a page after the last instruction. But hostess' are allowed to change this if they'd like. During the marathon you will probably see several different time frames for you to complete pages, but it most likely won't be less than 4 hours.

Woo hoo... I have posted the schedule and some eye candy for you guys. The Speed Scrap prizes are so cute! I can't wait to play.

I hope you guys are getting excited especially after seeing some of the goodies!

We have an awesome group of designers, volunteers and sponsors. They are making this event super fun. Thanks Ladies!

You are so awesome, Melinda!! :toothorn:

Thanks so much... I can see how much work you've done already!

Yes she is!!!

I'm so excited! The prizes look fabulous! I have all three days free so I'll definitely be there. I really want to do as many pages as I can. I need to banish perfectionism for those three days. So many people have already put in so much work! You all deserve a great big thank you! -Roni
