Chit Chat for February Speed Scrap Marathon 2014

[QuiltyMom]

That weekend is a busy one for me. It's my DH's 50th birthday on Friday, so it'll be dinner with the family. Then all of my daughter's skating practices on top of that. I'll be lucky if I can get half of the scraps done this year.

I'm bad, aren't I?

haha! I get up at 4:30 for work every morning. But to do it on a Saturday is just ... wrong....

I've managed to switch all my shifts at work, so I'm free all weekend Only the nightly ones (I live in Holland) will be tricky, but I'll just catch up the next morning.

I so hope I can do them all!! We just got back from WDW last week and I am ready to scrap my photos lol

Anyone else doing some prep work for the big weekend?

Ooh...that is a GREAT idea!! If I have time this week, I should do that!

I was so excited when I saw the dates! I'm going to a scrapbooking retreat next weekend, so it works out perfectly!! While I have to work Friday, and leave the camp early afternoon on Sunday, I will have all day Saturday to play (though I have lots more than Disney pages to work on). I'm aiming to complete the half marathon at the very least.

Nooooooooooo! The 9th I will be driving to Disney World. Dangit! Lol
I really miss being able to do all of these. Hope you all have fun and win lots of cool stuff.

Bummer that you will miss some of the marathon. Maybe you can play on Friday and Saturday?

Have a fabulous trip to WDW! How long you stayin? Drop me a PM. I'd love to meet you while you are down. I still have family visiting so it may be tricky and I'll be busy wrapping up the marathon during the week, but maybe the following weekend? Let me know.

Ok, total newbie question on the marathon - is this for digital scrapbooking or can it include traditional?

You can absolutely do traditional pages! The important thing is just getting some of your Disney pages done. When you've followed the directions and completed your page just take a photo or scan and upload to the gallery.

For the most part, you will be able to follow the instructions exactly. But there may be a few cases where you'll need to adapt the instructions a little to complete the challenge. For example - one of your instructions may be to use a template that has 4 pics. In that case you could base your page off a sketch for a 4 pic page. Or you may be instructed to put 2 scatters on your page. Then you might want to take 3 tiny flowers and cluster them together to approximate a scatter and do that twice.
