It's really easy and a fun way of jumping right in...I was new to MS back in July when they had the first Speed Scrap and I was surprise how many I did...

Here's the general rules....

There will be 7 instructions in total.
The first will be posted on the hour.
The second at ten past.
Third at twenty past.
Fourth at half past.
Fifth at twenty to.
Sixth at ten to.
The final instruction on the close of the hour.

You can also go and look at any of the Speed Scrap challenges and click on the last page...There you can see what kind of instructions are given to make your layout...I hope this helps...

I do have a question though. can we mix challenges? I want to do the template challenge and the kit challenge...can I do them during the ss and have it count for both? Just asking

I saw in the rules of the kit challenge that we can use the kit for the SS weekend.

ALso does anyone know is it a 4 hour time limit or less????

I am trying to plan all this out.

Maybe I'll actually make some progress on my 10/09 cruise! Now, wouldn't that be great!

Ack. I just found out that there's an activity at my son's school Saturday night. Sigh.

I'd scrap on my laptop if I could, but it's so slow I can't do anything on it!

This thread is so we can chit chat about it and to help answer any questions anyone has.... or whatever!!

I am brand new here and am wondering about the marathon. Any help would be appreciated.

Yay!!
On your marks..... get set.... GO!!![/QUOTE]

Yes Leslie posted that you may 'double dip' for her kit challenge + the SS. The template/weekly challenges are NOT double dippable (lol is that a word???) HOWEVER... if there was a PAST template challenge that you missed, feel free to use the template now. Just be sure to credit the template maker!!

Unless the individual hosts say otherwise.... to get your PPs for the individual SSs you have the instruction hour+ 4 hrs to finish and upload. I know that some of the Sunday hosts have already mentioned that they plan to give extra time!!

BUT.... this is IMPORTANT!!
To earn the goodie bags for completing the HALF and the FULL MARATHON you can complete them ANYTIME as long as they are in the gallery and the links (not the images) are all in your tracking post in the main thread by NOON EST on MONDAY!!!

So even if you miss a scrap because of work/kids/whatever..... you can still be eligible for the goodie bags!!

Anyone who finishes any 7 of the speed scraps will win the HALF MARATHON prize.... and anyone who finishes ALL 14 speedscraps will get BOTH the HALF and the FULL marathon goodie bags!!

The bags have coupons, alphas, elements, WAs, and even full kits!! You will also win a trophy that you can proudly display in your siggy (some forum rules will apply)!!

For anyone that is new and joining us you the 1st time SSing.... there is a Sticky thread HERE that was made for the 1st Marathon in July 2010!! There is alot of awesome info on what to expect and how to prepare to scrap!
