where do i upload my page? i.e., do i need to put it in a specific gallery here? can i post it somewhere external (like picasa, my blog, etc.)? where do i need to post a link to it? in the thread for that particular speed scrap?

i see posts by members in the master thread where they list "speed scrap #84" - "speed scrap #99". i'm assuming this is for those who are planning to do all of speed scraps? i will be out and about for most of the weekend (daughter's first birthday party), so i can't do all of them, but i'm going to try to do some of the friday ones. this means i don't need to make one of those posts, right?

aside from planning/selecting pictures and kits, is there anything i need to set up beforehand on this board?

Mouse Scrappers has its own gallery. You post your pages there. There are sections for each speed scrap, so you would post your page in the gallery section for the speed scrap number you attended and did a page for. Then you link it back on the forum in the speed scrap thread of the same number. You also post in the themed forum.... if you did a page about Mickey, you'd go to the character section, find Mickey and post your page there. This allows similar pages to be kept together, so if you are looking for inspiration to make a Mickey page, you have one single place to go.

As for prepping for a speed scrap.... I would get an idea of what photos you want to scrap (Disney related of course!). If you are very organized you can even make a sketch or grab a template to prepare yourself. And note possible kits too. If you have a few ideas planned ahead of time, when the instructions start rolling, you will have less places to look for things.

You could have a note saying you want to use pictures of the castle and they are in XX folder on your computer. You want to use XX template and XX kit with them.

Personally, for me... I need to see all of the instructions before I can begin... I've been bamboozled before! Nothing like making a down and dirty boy page only to get an instruction to use glitter or hearts!

Speed scraps are tons of fun, so come and join us!
