One thing I always do is choose which photos I want to scrap and match it up with the kit or kits that I want to scrap them with. That way you're not spending scrapping time trying to figure out what you're going to do.

Too bad I've got a really busy weekend planned, so I won't be able to participate this time. Had so much fun the last couple of years!

Thanks for the tips. I look forward to learning more.

Also, if you look in the forums under challenges and speed scraps, there is a post about tips and tricks that might be helpful. The marathon can be crazy busy but have fun and don't hesitate to ask if you have a question!

Like Marie said be sure to have the current version of java. Mine was out of date and no one wants to be updating at the last minute...just sayin'

Don't wait until you have completed your first speed scrap layout to try to figure out how to upload! my very first lo I uploaded was for a ss and it took me forever to get it down. Do a test layout this week

And have fun! If you don't get them all done, that's ok! use the time to get to know the other members and the website

YEP! His Tenderfoot campout - first one as an official Boy Scout so my husband is going to tag along. He can go to all of them if he wants but I think he's looking forward to not having to do them anymore. haha

oh, and another thing that I was stressed about when I did my first few speed scraps. sometimes I don't like an instruction. I will make my page and then after the fact tweak it for my personal album. This mostly comes up when it says "no journaling" but I have a lot to say on most of my pages. haha. so I make the lo with no journaling, but then fix it after I upload it. So don't think that you can't do that. That's the nice thing about digital - the delete button can be used as many times as you want!
