Thanks for joining my Speed Scrap! Also a special Thank You to Melissa for creating such a great Template pack!

Please note that participation in this SS counts towards the 15 birthday activities for the Anniversary Prizes.

I am going to call this SS – “Elements of a Successful Party”. For this challenge we are working on creating a LO that symbolizes the a great party. Please bear with my silly analogizes and just try to enjoy! Keep in mind that parties are fun and happy… I want to see fun and happy LO’s.

So let's get started.... remember there are 7 total instructions and you have 6 hours to complete the challenge once the final instruction is revealed to receive Melissa’s PP.


1) A successful party begins with planning. So… you need to start with a template. You can modify the template as needed, but it is your plan.

2) Who doesn’t love PRESENTS? They can be wrapped in such fun papers and bows. The presents represent your papers. You need to use at least 4 different papers and at least one ribbon.

3) You can’t have a party unless you invite lots of family and friends. Your guests are your photos. You need to have at least 4 guests at this party.

4) A party isn’t complete unless you have cake and ice cream. YUM! In your creation something must be square for the cake and round for the ice cream. You need at least one round and one square...but if you are like me.... I love ice cream... I will take seconds... lol... one scoop is never enough!

5) Goodness…don’t forget about the decorations! These are your embellies. I want to see lots of decorations on your page. At least 6 different things.

6) It would be a boring party unless everyone was talking and laughing. So… you gotta have some conversation aka journaling. I want to see at least 4 sentences. Yep... I said that ugly word... jouralling.... You gotta have talking at a party!!!!

7) Oooo… a fun party includes games. For the games, I want you to have a hidden Mickey. You can also hide anything else that is relevant to your LO.

Finally, date your LO (a party has to have a date), upload to the gallery, the appropriate forum and remember to leave loves when you can.

Thanks again for playing and I hope you had a successful party!!!! Don't forget to include credit from the template that you used in step #1.


Here is my LO...

I'm going to be monitoring instructions from the thread. I'm getting a new computer next weekend and want to be all caught up before the massive speed scraps start. Sorry I'll be missing the fun though.

Melinda - I have all my templates organized by the # of photos on it. So, I'll have to wait to pick a template until I know how many photos you want.
