This speed scrap is a little different. The same rules apply, but it is probably going to be a little more challenging than some I have hosted. I am sorry about that, but really wanted to do this theme. Paula did this concept several months ago as Weekly Challenge and I thought it was so clever! With permission, I am repeating. Ok… you can all groan now… A group groan... lol...

We have been celebrating Mousescrappers turning 2 years old. I want this challenge to be about your involvement here at MS. So… this challenge is going to be a Mousescrappers Scrap Mix. I will explain as we go along. You will probably at least 3 of the instructions to really get started…so bear with me. Also, please feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.

1) You need to find some basic information about yourself in the MS site. You need to know the following: the month, the day and the year you joined, your user name and how many pages of LO’s are in your gallery. You can find this information when you log in. Click on your name next to the word “Welcome” on the upper right part of the page. You can find the date you joined under the “Mini Statistics” section on the right. You will need to write this information down. To see how many pages you have your gallery, stay logged in and go to the gallery tab at the top of the page. Once in the gallery, click on “My Photos” on the left hand side of the page. Look on the blue bar – far right and you will see “Page” and numbers beside it. That is how many pages are in your own personal gallery. Write that number down. I don’t think you need help with your use name. You will need the first initial of your user name for the challenge. Ok… that is the hard part. You should have five pieces of information… Month, date, year, User Name and how many pages are in your personal gallery. Now let’s get ready to play!!!!

2) The THEME of your LO is based on the first initial of your user name. I realize some of you may not have photos that fit your particular theme. You may have never been to WDW only DW. Do you best to follow the correct theme, but I will make exceptions as needed. Here is the list:

3) The PHOTOS are based on the number of pages in your gallery. At least one of your photos must meet the requirements. You can use as many photos as you want unless you are a 2 or a 5. Those have a specific number involved. If you have 10 or more pages in your gallery… use the second digit of your number… So 12 pages is doing the same as 2, 15 is doing the same as 5.

4) The PAPERS are the month you joined MS. I joined in July, which is the 7th month. If you joined in November, you are doing the same as #1… December is 12… so you are doing the same as #2.

5) The ELEMENTS are the date you joined MS. If you joined the 11-31…use the second digit of your date. I joined on the 16th… so I am using #6 in my LO. Those who joined on the 6th, 16th or 26th are doing the #6. You can use as many elements as you wish, but make sure you meet the requirement of your mix.

6) Add some journaling or whatever else you need to make your LO work for you

7) This requirement is based on the year you joined MS. Everyone either joined 2009, 2010 or 2011…. So… 9, 10 or 11. You must leave loves in this gallery for a minimum of 9, 10 or 11 participants. THEN you need to go into another gallery from this month and leave the same amount of loves in it. There are lots of fabulous LO’s in the gallery this month and we have all been too busy to leave appropriate comments. I want to see love left for all everyone’s hard work! Pick any gallery, but I recommend the Misc. Challenge at the bottom, then select the 2nd Anniversary Challenge and get to gawking at the great LO”s!

Thanks for playing in my SS. I know this is a little different and a little challenging. I haven’t done my LO either…so I am playing along. I also hope this wasn’t too confusing or a complete bust… I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Remember to post your LO in the SS #63 gallery and the appropriate forum before 8:00 am EST to claim your prize… and try not to hate me for doing something different.

Also, you need to state your MIX when you post your finished LO in this thread. I want to know the date you joined and the number of pages in your gallery. I can figure out your used name... lol... Thanks again! Now I gotta go work on my own page.




***UPDATE*** - You don't need to rush to leave your 18, 20 or 22 comments... Just try to do this before the end of the month.... Be on the honor system.
There is just lots of fabulous LO's in the gallery and I know we have all been too swamped to really sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy them. Just make a point after the B-day challenges end to get your comments made.

Sound fair?

I hope so...

Thanks for the fun challenge, Melinda! I'm not super good at sepia, but I gave it a try! Thanks for the cool PP, Andrea!

Wow, this was really tricky for me, and nothing like I usually do! Newbie attempt at blending - used a tutorial I found on this site (thank heavens for those tutorials!!) My theme was D - Magic Kingdom, my photo was #3 - blend a photo, my paper was #7 - polka dots, and my element was #4 - something metallic (join date was 7-14-2010). Off to leave some love now - thanks for a great challenge!

How creative! I can't believe how fast you ladies are. I'm going to have to book a trip to WDW so I have more photos! LOL

I liked this game & it's fun seeing what everyone else had to do.
Here's my stats:

username: P - Transportation
15 LO in my gallery : Use 1 photo
I joined 1/15/11 so:
Papers: use plaid or paisely
elements: 2 ribbons & a date tag

I will be leaving lots of love this weekend & will try to do most if not all in the morning.
