Instructions

1. We are celebrating May Day today in the UK, May has 3 letters in its name so I want you to use 3 photos and 3 papers at least one must be patterned. Remember your layout has to have a Disney theme :)

2. Overseeing all the May day celebrations is the May Queen. In honour of the May Queen select one of your photos to frame in some way.

3. It is tradition on May Day to dance around the May Pole to celebrate the end end of winter and the start of the fine weather. The dancers hold the ends of long ribbons to dance around the pole, weaving them into intricate and complicated patterns. Add as many different types of ribbons as you would like in your layout but cluster them together to represent the maypole ribbons being wound together.

4. Here in the UK it is thought that on May day young girls rushed out to wash their faces in the morning dew so add something sparkly to your layout.

5. The May Day celebrations welcome the arrival of the warmer weather and the time for planting seeds. New plants and flowers are blooming everywhere so add some plant life to your layout, flowers, leaves, petals you decide. These can be stamps, stickers, shaped buttons or brads or actual flowers/ leaves.

That’s all the instructions - you now have 4 hours to finish up, add title work if you haven't done so already, journaling and dates if you wish and shadows and anything else you feel your layout is lacking and then post to the gallery and the relevant forum thread.

Hope you enjoyed this speed scrap as much as me :)

I'm here counting down until 2pm EST:whistle:

I can't wait to get started. I just hope I can get it complete with picking up kids at 2 different schools and then taking them to swim lessons afterwards. But I have my laptop ready to go...

One question, is it 4 hours from start of the first instruction until layout has to be completed and posted, or 4 additional hours after the last instruction is given?

Oh, this looks so exciting! I'm so ready for this (just need to unzip some new iNSD goodies to play with). And thanks for that long finish time - this will take off so much of the pressure!
