Monster Mash by Bits and Bob (STS SS#71 and #72 and S2L Challenge for 10/26-11/1)

I know it sounds like a lot but it isn't! lol I just know how to combine projects (which you know I seriously needed to do right now! lol). I used Bits and Bobs Monster Mash kit for both Speed Scraps. Also the one I did today fit into the Scrap to Lose Challenge of use Orange and Black on your LO.

Anyway today I completed a Speed Scrap at STS. Here are the instructions:
1. Get 3-6 pictures of the same event or that are similar.
2. Get 2 papers. Doesn't matter if they are solid or patterned
3. One of the pictures you need to crop bigger 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 and the other pictures to at most half the size of the big picture.
4. Set one of your papers as the background. The other one crop to a square. Arrange the big picture on top of the square paper.
5. Arrange all the other photos somehow around the big picture, with at least some of them touching the big picture.
6. Put some type of a frame around at least one of the pictures. Use at least one stitched element. Add any other elements you want.
7. Title your LO and put dates and journaling. Add drop shadows and finishing touches.

I didn't have a stitch in this kit so I skipped that part! lol Also I went ahead and completed a second page using SOME of the same steps.


Here are the instructions for the speed scrap I completed last week.
1. Choose 3 pictures and 2 solid and 2 patterned paper
2. Choose 1 solid for your background and add a patterned paper on the bottom part abt 1/2 to 1/3 from the bottom
3. Crop the 3 pictures into circles and crop the rest of the papers into circles
4. Make a row of pictures and papers either horizontal or vertical alternating pictures and paper.
5. Add a large element behind the circles (mesh, wire, ribbon, bling) then in one corner add a cluster of elements - Make one a tag for the date
6. Add title and some journalling or quote in 1 font in 2 sizes
7. Finish with drop shadows and anything else you need.

Here is my results. I couldn't cut into circles as it chopped off too much of the pictures. So I did ovals instead.

Here is a complete preview of the kit. Information about it can be found at Bits and Bob's blog here.
