Template MIS | January 2nd @ 7pm ET | Scrapping with Liz

Yay...glad to see the MIS continuing. I'm in.

 

@tpbuffy, when you get a chance, can you change the thread title?!

 

great. sounds fun! so 7PM EST Jan 2nd ... be here or be square. (or be here within 24 hrs!)

 

Usually, the Make It Snappy {MIS} is done on the first Saturday of the month. I'm going to guess that it will be this Saturday. And @HavaDrPepper gave a great explanation above!
It's a super quick speed scrap, but you start with a template, and there's only 5 instructions.

 

Posting here to claim my "twist" - looking forward to this (tomorrow, right?)

 

Hoping to join in on this!

 

Yes, it's going to be tomorrow night! I tried editing the title, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Anybody know how to do that?

 

Thanks for the clarification @HavaDrPepper ! I really love that all the instructions are posted at once! This is going to be fun! Using a template by Liz won't be hard. I own almost all of them already!

@Scrapping with Liz I think that the only person that can edit the title of the first post is the person that created it. Usually there is an edit button and then you have to go into Advanced Options or something like that. I'm not sure if it's different since the upgrade though. Haven't had to do it since then yet. ...actually I just went to an old post of my own and tried to edit the title and I couldn't do it either. Hmmm...

 

Love the MIS. True story ... the MIS-es are what got me involved in the online digi universe. I was a CM scrapper, happy to use my catalog of Creative Memories digital products. A few scrappy friends ... @LBscraps and @djp332 and some others, started playing around with the SO MIS'es. I remember the day that I found out I "won" one. It was my first and I still have the Captivated Visions kit that I bought with my coupon.

We were all so new to the forums and felt super intimidated. Once or twice we'd even Skype with just ourselves during the MIS because we were nervous. Back then the challenges were hard core one hour deals and between ourselves (never on the forum to embarrass ourselves) we'd show our layout and say ... "here's my Make-it-Crappy" because sometimes it felt like we'd just vomit embellishments all over our page!! This was before I learned how to cluster!!!!

Anyway ... I have fond memories of MIS challenges. It used to be like a standing date in my life. I'd rush home from carpool/gymnastics/scouts/ or whatever to get on my computer and make a page in an hour. I had a system. I had my content in iPhoto and everything was keyworded. If the directions asked for 3 red buttons ... BOOM. I had them. Alas, my "catalog" has grown way beyond practically being able to accomplish this.

I was using Liz's templates even before I could. I would scrap lift them and then we would try to convert the .pngs to the CM versions. (Thank goodness for the rise of the .Page convertors). I have some layouts in my vacation to China book that were from my first MIS challenges.

I wrote down the time ... hopefully I can be here. Count me in for the twist!!!

 

I was able to change one that I did! Traci (or an admin) will probably have to do it though. There is a little link on the top right side that says THREAD OPTIONS. Punch that and you can see the option to change the title.

 

Sounds fun. I'm not sure I'll be home in time, but I made note of it and would like to participate!

 

Woohoo! That worked. Thank you so much!

 

What's great out the MIS is that you have 24 hours to complete the layout to get the free template. So, even if you can't participate that night to get entered into with the $$ to my store, you still have extra time to finish the challenge and get the freebie.

 

so bhahhaha ignore my posted page, but can I sign up for a twist, a shout and a side of fries?

 

Oh, I might actually be able to make this! I love these things (& Liz's templates, of course).

 

So if I post here now I get a chance to use the twist? Is that what we do? I'd love to give this a try

 

I'll try to be here!

 

Perfect! She'll be back before the MIS starts, and she'll post in the first thread everyone who qualifies for the twist!

 

ok now that i've read all the post I think I've got it...so here's my RSVP. see you tomorrow
