January 27-29, 2012 Speed Scrap Marathon

[bumblebeee]

AHHH.... I just found your site, and the information about the marathon, and got so excited, only to realize that I have NO disney photos on my computer. They were not taken with a digital camera. SO... I may not be able to get them scanned by this weekend. But I will look forward to the next one.

I just added galleries for 84 - 99.

Welcome! We're glad that you found us! And even if you don't get your photos scanned in time, please join us in the chat room. It's guaranteed to be a wild and crazy time!

You are welcome to also do traditional paper pages as well! So if you'd like to scrap round up some papers and elements and then you can scan or take photos of your finished pages and upload them here for credit.

I'm planning to attempt the full or half marathon. I know we have to post a link to our layouts in the master thread. It may sound silly but could someone give me clear instructions for posting a link. Exactly which address do I have to post? I just want to make sure everything goes smoothly. Also for the chat do I just need Java? Thank you so much!

Do you know how to post to our gallery here?

For right now I'm assuming you know how to post to the gallery here. After you post to the gallery here and you can see your page in the gallery (For the speed scraps you will post your photos in the speed scrap gallery for each speed scrap) at the bottom of the photos there will be three link boxes: Linked Thumbnail, Linked Image, Direct Link. You want to copy the information in the 2nd box - Linked Image

Then you will go into the speed scrap thread and the subject thread and paste the info from that 2nd box into those pages so your page will show up in the thread.

For the speed scrap if you are keeping track in the master thread, you will also need to link there too. On that same page in the gallery where you see the 3 boxes under your page, you would just copy and paste the page info at the top of your browser box and post that in the master thread page. So the page will not show but the information/link will be clickable.

I just want to make sure I have this right. I understand how to post in the gallery and how to post an image in the speed scrap thread. To post the link in the marathon thread once I post my image in the gallery I copy the address in my browsers address bar and paste it in the appropriate spot in the marathon master thread to work toward the full or half prize? Thanks so much for your patience and help! See you all this weekend!

Yes, that is correct. It just makes it convenient for others to get to your layout in the gallery.

Here is an example...

Let's say you are participating in speed scrap #84 and you create a layout of Elliott / Pete from the Main Street Electrical Parade. There are 4 things you will want to do after you've uploaded your photo to the gallery.

1. Copy the "Linked Image" code (see below). Paste it in the Main Street Electrical Parade thread for Magic Kingdom (keep this window open)

2. Next paste the same "Linked Image" code in the "Speed Scrap 84" thread

3. Copy the URL from #1 and paste it below your Linked Image in #2 to let the hostess know that you've added it to the appropriate thread already.. (Many people say something like "Also posted here: < link >"

4. Copy the URL from the gallery and paste it in your existing post in the Master Thread (by #84)


Sorry there are so many steps. The first 3 are typical MS steps, but it is so we can find your photos later! And the 4th is just so you can get one of the goodie bags.

I will try to be there. I've been sick and on all kinds of drugs so who knows what I will feel like.

I edited my original post #61 with this information as well.

Alright 26 Jan 2012 the eve of the Speed Scrap Marathon and I'm still working on my organization... he-he. Here is a link to a zip file with.... The Checklist above, A Speed Scrap Instruction Template so you can write down the hosts 7 requirements (4 to a page), and a 3rd list that has Instructions on one side and a place to list your credits on the other (2 to a Page). I can't decide!!!

Here is the link to the zip file! http://www.mediafire.com/?4vf9dmdel9kr4kj

If you want to see what they look like check out my blog post here http://cynthiay2.blogspot.com/2012/01/dont-forget.html

It's pretty simply but it might be helpful.

Can't wait to get started!
