Speed Scrap at SM (Zoo LO)

I speed scrapped last night and had a blast!!

I sure had a great night, because I finished this in little over an hour, and I love it! ;)

The speed scrap (at ScrapMatters of course) was hosted by haynay and these were the instructions:

1. one solid, dark paper, used as the background. One patterned paper used in any way on the page (other than background). No more, no less.
   
2. 3 photos: 2 must be the same size. The other one must be smaller than the 2.
   
3. One frame only, but that frame needs to have a cluster on or behind it. (I want to encourage you to use drop shadows—especially with the clusters)
   
4. Use a hanger anywhere on the page.
   
5. Must use something shiny on the page: can be metal, glitter, bling. I don’t care; I just want some shine!
   
6. Title: Use 2 alphas please.
   
7. Date your page. And, you can journal…BUT, you cannot journal any more than 2 sentences. It will work if you have no journaling at all!
   

I used the beautiful kit I was RAKed with last week, Chilled Wine!

Here's my LO, Fancy Birds:

I used the beautiful kit I was RAKed with last week, Chilled Wine!

I just recolored the alpha & frame slightly to match the pictures, and that was it! I love how I was "forced" by the instructions to pick a dark paper - I might not have thought about it otherwise, and I think it looks great with these pics! I usually choose pictures first, and papers next, but this time, following the instructions, I picked the kit first, then stumbled upon these zoo pictures (yaaaay! Another LO done! :) ) and tried them out: perfect! :)

OK, enough rambling.. But I'm seriously in love with this LO! :)
