(Not Really) Roughing It

I did this page last night for a speed scrap with a bunch of ladies from a message board I am a member of. It was the first time I've actually finished a speed scrap. My computer or program I use to scrap with usually freezes about 85% of the way through the page and I end up stressed, sweaty and with no finished page to show for it all. BUT! I prevailed! I was able to finish my page last night.

I was thinking, speed scraps shouldn't be called speed scraps exactly. At least the ones I've participated in, they last 1-2 hours, sometimes more. I don't know about the average scrapper, but I can guess they do it faster than that. I know I do. A normal page for me is about 30 minutes, I have finished one in about 15 minutes a time or two and at most it's an hour. If it takes much longer than that I normally just give up and start over later. I think speed scraps should be called Challenge Scraps. They always make me go out of my comfort zone and do something I wouldn't normally.

Anyhoo....here is my page

  1. I agree, I was expecting it to go faster too. Great page, I just blogged mine too!

  2. Great job! I've never done a speed scrap. It probably should be called more like a mystery scrap or something because 1-2 hours is definitely longer than I take, too.
