A new Speed Scrap

Today when I got home from work I was doing a few things and then remembered that there was a speed scrap that started at 2pm. Well it was 3pm at this time and I thought, well heck I will TRY to get it done in the hour that remains. So I started going for it.

Here are the instructions:
Step 1:Choose 1 photo. Use a mask or photo split on it. Make sure the photo nearly fills your page.
Step 2:Choose a solid or lightly patterned paper for your background.
Choose 1-3 other papers and create paper strips behind your photo.
If your photo is vertical, place the strips horizontal.
If your photo is horizontal, place the strips vertical.
Don't forget to save your page!
Step 3: Attach your photo to the page. I used screws, you could use staples or brads, like that.
Step 4: Place 1 large “see thru” element behind your photo, but in front of your papers. I used chicken wire, you could use mesh, something along those lines.
Step 5: Make a small cluster of at least 3 items in one corner of your page. Did you save lately?
Step 6: Date your page, journal if you wish - in a different corner than your cluster.
Step 7: Title in 2 different fonts or 1 font and an alpha. Don't forget your shadows.

And here is my take on the directions! I LOVE how it turned out!!! Of course I love the pic to begin with and then the page just makes it even better!

I LOVE IT! The pic is adorable, and the colors from the papers are perfect with it. The chicken wire was a great choice!
