Forum & Gallery Guidelines - Please Read

[Robin Carlton]

Welcome to Sweet Shoppe Designs! Here at the Sweet Shoppe we want to create a warm, friendly and open environment! Before you jump in, take some time to read our forum guidelines. They're short and sweet and should be easy enough for everyone to follow!

While at Sweet Shoppe Designs we welcome you to discuss all things related to Digital Scrapbooking! Whether it is the latest trends, publication calls, TOOTS, favorite designers, sales, etc - like you, we too are interested in what’s going on in the digital community! If there is something that you think is absolutely fabulous, chances are a lot of other people will think so too, so please dont feel like you can’t share here because we welcome it! The only thing we ask is that you do your sharing in a respectful manner. Please do not post enabling threads or threads seeking products being sold at another site. Incidental conversation about a great sale is one thing, coming and posting a graphic advertising your site's sale or threads looking to drive business to another store, is quite another. A simple designer name and where you can find their work will suffice, please do not post links to other sites.

Are you a proud member of a particular designer’s creative team? Go ahead and show that team blinkie off with pride! We're scrappers too and we know how much fun being on someone's creative team is and that most of us think of our creative teams as an accomplishment we want to be able to talk about!

Please refrain from using profane and vulgar language and treat your fellow scrappers with respect. We want to create a warm and friendly environment and expect each and every one of our members to contribute towards making it so.

Regarding our new gallery, we are very excited to now have an uploadable member gallery and can't wait for you to share your pages with us. We'd really like for our gallery to be a place for the Sweet Shoppe community to come together and get involved in our challenges, share their pages with us and most importantly, we want our gallery to be a constant source of inspiration on how to use Sweet Shoppe Products.

Keeping that ideal in mind, we'd like to ask that you only post layouts on which you've used some Sweet Shoppe products. At this time, we do not have any specifics on the amount of SSD stuff we require on a page but we do hope you won't take advantage of our loose guidelines to post your layouts where a button is the only Sweet Shoppe product on the page. We sincerely hope that you can understand and respect our wishes for our gallery to be a product showcase of our designer's amazing work! If you are looking for a place to archive all of your pages or market for a creative team, we give our highest recommendation to the wonderful open galleries at Digi Shop Talk (http://www.digishoptalk.com/) or My Scrapbook Art (http://www.myscrapbookart.com/gallery/index.php).

Please Note: Due to spam issues, new members to our community have limited posting rights. We kindly ask that you settle in with our community, say hello and join in the fun. In no time, your access will be automatically increased so you can participate in all of our activities here at SSD.

We hope that you enjoy your time at Sweet Shoppe Designs...while you are here have a cupcake...or a taco!

Thanks so much!
Robin

[Rona]

Well said! :)

Is there a limit on the size and number of blinkies we can put on our siggys? Just wanted to make sure :)

[Robin Carlton]

Nah...use your best judgement and dont be obnoxious with 20 lines of blinkies and I think we'll be ok :D Have fun!!

Robin

[nbelen]

Hi Robin, just wanted to make sure before I post something, so for the challenges like the cookie decorating thing, can we post layouts with papers and designs of other designers? Sorry I'm a newbie in the digiscrap world and im sort of finding my way through :) Thanks!

[Christy Lyle]

Yes! You're absolutely right! I'm looking forward to seeing your layouts :)

[lilysmama]

ok here's another question...as far as posting layouts with only ssd stuff - as long as there is some ssd stuff on the layout is it okay if there is stuff from other sites/designers, too? just wanting to clarify so i don't break any rules! :)

[Hom74]

Yep :)

[rocalisa]

Quick question - can anyone post in a designers gallery if a layout uses mainly their product, or is it only for their CT members?

[Hom74]

just a bump ;)

[newfiemountiewife]

I'm glad I peeked in here again to double check, I have some LOs I have done for other CTs, and stuff, but I think every one I do has about 25% Sweet Shoppe content LOL!

[carola]

Some of my layouts do not have SS content, but some do. Can I post all of them?

[lauren grier]

Some of my layouts do not have SS content, but some do. Can I post all of them?

Hi! If you made your layouts for one of our challenges it is OK to upload if it does not contain any ssd products (be sure to upload to the correct gallery though! :) ) Otherwise, all other layouts must contain SSD products :) Thanks for asking!

[Libby Pritchett]

Just bumping this up as a reminder since we've got so many new folks posting! :)

[lizzyfizzy]

i'm new and i totally read this 9 months later.

*i, lizzy, do by swear to uphold the sweet shoppe code of honour in the forums and gallery.

amen.

[armywife21b2004]

What size are the LO's usually??

[jorgies5]

What size are the LO's usually??

I usually post mine at 500 x 500.

[armywife21b2004]

Thanks so much hun! I appreciate the quick reply :)

[meganmecrazy]

I was wondering the same thing!?

[Robin Carlton]

Megan,

You guys are welcome to post in the designer's gallery if your layout primarily showcases one of their kits! I would recommend that you guys do choose one gallery to upload to and not copy to 5 tho, it's just not neccessary to have so many copies in the gallery most of the time :)

HTH!
Robin

[crystalbella77]

Quick question! :)

Can I link to my DST gallery in my siggy? It's my full one, but I totally understand if I can't!!! :thumbup:

[Paula]

I do mine the Meg way! LOL

[alabau]

What's the best way to upload layouts? Meaning, all of mine are TOO big (file size) but by the time I shrink the dimensions down enough that it's under 150k, you can hardly see them... (Sorry, I'm new here.) Thanks! :)

[Darcy Baldwin]

Depending on your photo editing program, size your layout to 600x600 or 500x500 and use the "save for web" feature under File>Save For Web (primarily Photoshop programs, but I believe PSP programs have something similar). You can then slide the size bar along til you get it to just under 150kb. The other thing to make sure of is that you have flattened your layout first. If you're using a layered layout, they are huge.

Thank you SO much, Darcy! I'm learning so much these days... it's really fun! :)

[fourluvbugs]

I'm a newbie and just posted my first lo ever -- I've been browsing the work of others here for awhile, but never made one of my own. Now I know I was to read the rules ahead of time, but I was so excited that I made something I was proud of that I didn't realize I was supposed to use things I'd purchased here until afterwards. I realize now that I screwed up. Should I take it down?

It is a beautiful layout, but yes, if it doesn't use Sweet Shoppe products OR it is not for one of our challenges, you will need to delete it. (At least it will make us feel better if you delete it.) I know we all feel bad when we have to delete layouts that don't comply to the guidelines.

OK -- done. Thanks for your quick reply.

[HeatherStokes]

I am so gald I read this before getting too excited and posting ALL of my layouts...lol

[ShortCake]

Oh boy, good thing I looked here. I don't have much of SSD stuff. :w00t:

[livelys]

I am feeling so thick as I'm still having problems uploading my first LO. I've flatterened it and saved it as a.gif file, 500x500 pix, so that it is under 150kb, as suggested in a previous post by Darcey, but I still can't get it into my gallery.

What have I forgotten to do? :confused:...I know its probably something really obvious but I haven't a clue.

This is my first EVER (really!) page, and I'd love to add it for the Jan 1st scraplift challenge - so, help!

Sara x

[ColleenSwerb]

I don't think the gallery recognizes gif. Try saving it as a jpg under 150kb.

[lizzyfizzy]

.

[lovemy4kids]

Thought I should check here before posting in the gallery...

I just made a tote box using Heather's DIY Tote Box template (http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=17814&cat=0&page=1), but I didn't use a SSD kit to decorate it. I'm guessing that I am not supposed to put it in my gallery here, but I thought I’d get that confirmed. (And if I can't, what a great excuse to make another one using a SSD kit. ;) )

Thanks! :)

[ditzyscrap]

Yes you can post it because you DID use a SSD product to create it. :) Same thing goes for my templates - even if you're layout uses other products, the basis is a SSD product. HTH!

[kayde]

Seems easy enough to follow those few guidelines. Just wanted to stop in and say I LOVE y'alls stuff!!!!

[Siryn]

I'm prolly just a moron, but I can't get any of my layouts uploaded. I've resized 'em to heck, but I still get file size errors. Is there a general guideline for sizes that I've overlooked?

[AmyM]

they have to be under 150kb :) You might try saving an extra copy at 72dpi and then using some sort of resize for web option, depends on the program you use to scrap.

[Siryn]

Ok, I'll try that - thank you!

[Gloria]

I stumbled across this site and WOW, your Cookie Decorating challenge wow'd me in a BIG way....I am a designer for Moo Two Designs so rarely buy kits, but do sometimes....and after being so inspired by your layouts in just that one challenge, I'm going to have to open up my checkbook and get some of that wonderful talent in my hard drive!

I LOVE your kits, your templates, your layouts, and will be posting here for sure...but for the record, I'm taking a little digi hiatus to get my life in order, plan the second wedding this year (dd married in February 2009 and ds to be married in September 2009) and work on some paper stuff.....but I will absolutely be here when I can.

Will you be posting designer tutorials? I love your style here and am interested in learning that...there is always soooooooooo much to learn!

Thanks for having me!

[yossarian]

Just wondering if it's okay to post my LO with Zoe's gold member kit for DST? It's the only kit I used but as it's not for sale here I didn't want to post it without checking. TIA ((hugs)) xxx

[FlirtatiousBrat]

Pretty sure that's fine :)

[yossarian]

Thank you so much Meghan my gallery needs something new :) xxx

[Sasha]

Read & Agreed...cant wait to get started! :)

[Debbs]

sounds great!! I can't wait to look around a little :-) Thanks for having me!!

[nylicia]

I have been reading all the post questions and answers and just want to
do some clarification. Now if I post to the gallery I am to use some of ssd products, with the exceptions of challenges in which I can use other kits.
Now do I have this correct.

[Aunti M]

I have been trying to change my avatar.
I get this error message: Upload of file failed.
I tried two different ones.
Both were within the size guidelines.
Any suggestions?? Tips? Tricks to try???

[Aunti M]

Hmmm... Now I see it worked...
even though it said it didn't?!?
It's Halloween.. Not April fools!?!?!! LOL!
Sorry.. Guess the 3rd time was a charm!!

[Balinda]

Read and Understoood...but that doesn't mean I won't eventually
screw it all up...so I will pass out the cookies to apologize for it now.:p

[Nonnie917]

I had to re-read this because I have been away for over a year. Health issues prevented me from being on the computer. I don't know if I will get back to do layouts yet, but at least I can read the posts and maybe do some lifts.

[Victoria Feemster]

Could someone help me remember how to add my blinkies to my signature? Everything I tried is either not allowed or it just puts the text there. So I'm completely confused and feel DUMB! LOL Help please!

[lauren grier]

hey chickie :] we had to put in some new req's because of all the bad spammy people lately. So you'll have to post around a lil bit before everything is allowed :]

[Victoria Feemster]

Okay that make sense! HaHa I figured it was something like that. Thanks for answering

[Victoria Feemster]

Can we not post in the gallery right away either? I was going to comment on some layouts but I don't see how?

[Robin Carlton]

Hey Victoria,

I manually moved you to the member group with no restrictions. Just be on your best behavior and don't send PM spam k? :P

R

[Victoria Feemster]

Thanks! I promise to be on my best behavior and mind my p's and q's :)

[pewtertm]

Didn't see this in the TOU or terms & conditions...

May we use an SSD kit to make a blinkie for ourselves? Sharon & I are getting ready to race in ADSR and I was hoping to use La's And I Love You to attempt to make a blinkie for our little team...but don't want to if that's a no-no :)

[FlirtatiousBrat]

I think they prefer to answer on a case by case basis..I'd PM La and just ask her :)

[pewtertm]

I think they prefer to answer on a case by case basis..I'd PM La and just ask her :)

Thanks Meg, will do!

[stampin_rachel]

I just posted my first LO and I wanted to comment on some of the others in the gallery - however I don't see that option?

[Darcy Baldwin]

You'll need to rack up a few more posts before you'll be able to, Rachel - need to have at least 10 in the forums. Welcome to SSD!

[lillannie]

Ah, I was wondering why I couldn't comment on others' pages. This post helped! Thanks.

[shupe]

Thanks, I was wondering why I couldn't comment! I guess I'll have to get busy posting in the forum :)

[shupe]

Does it have to be past 10? I have 10 and I still don't see the comment option. I'll check after this post.

[shupe]

Hmmm, maybe there is some other requirement I haven't met. I still can't comment (or I'm just goofy and don't see it!)

[shupe]

Yea!!!! I can comment now! I'll have to come back later tonight whe I have some time! :)

[tabby]

Guess I should have read through the comments in this thread. Would have answered lots of questions for me, lol.

Oh well, better late than never :P

[TeriBeary]

Is there a limit to how many a person can post in one day? I primarily use SSD products but don't upload too often so was going to do that but don't want to flood the gallery!

[lynning]

I was hoping I would find the answer to why I could not post in the gallery! I want to return some layout love that I've received. I must say, I think my layouts here have gotten more comments than any other gallery I've uploaded to in a while!

Off to post an introduction of sorts to increase my post count! :) Hope I don't seem like a spammer - I really like it here!

[FlirtatiousBrat]

Off to post an introduction of sorts to increase my post count! :)

Welcome :)

There is a post restriction until 10 posts I believe...we had some spam problems in the past but that will solve the problem!

[Darcy Baldwin]

Welcome to SSD! You need to have 10 comments under your belt before being able to leave comments in the gallery or PM or link here at SSD. We love having everyone join in our discussions...there's a lot to talk about!

[Mom_of_5]

Read & understood...now off to buy more SSD products!

[Kristin]

I was wondering about the comment thing too. I'll better find some threads to post in so I can comment in the gallery :thumbup:

[sassynsweet]

Any idea how many posts you need to have before PMing? I need to be able to receive PMs so I can get the link for the Skinny Jeans Challenge :p

Thanks ladies!

**edited to add that looks like the magic number was 25 ;)**

[Trixie Scraps]

I have 11 posts (this is now 12) and I can't leave comments in the gallery, update my siggy with a photo, or post more than three layouts... so... I don't think the magic number is 10. Have more layouts to upload for my portfolio, but I guess I'll have to do it the next day I have time... hopefully that's before the end of the month :/

[mamanoel]

read and agreed

[gms5997]

I'm kind of a newbie here ~ I was wondering if it's possible to edit a post in the gallery? or do I need to have 10 forum posts to do anything like that? Thanks!

Georgi

[Darcy Baldwin]

Welcome to SSD, Georgi - we're glad to have you here!

Yes, ma'am...we'd love to get to know you, and love it when you participate in the forum. Usually after about 10 postings, those features will be available to you!

[FlirtatiousBrat]

eh I think she's trying to edit her portfolio...hmmmm might have Robin fix her permissions

hey Georgi your post says edited at 737 so were you able to edit it?

[gms5997]

Thank, Darcy, for getting back to me so fast!! I think I'm gonna love it here! :hugs:

[Darcy Baldwin]

eh I think she's trying to edit her portfolio...hmmmm might have Robin fix her permissions

oh...i misunderstood..sorry.

[gms5997]

Actually, I was trying to edit the description for my layout in the gallery ... sorry for the confusion. Is that different?

[FlirtatiousBrat]

yeah just keep posting haha...you'll be able to edit in the gallery when you get to 10 posts

you didn't misunderstand Darcy :) I had just seen she had tried to edit her post in the portfolio thread but now I see she can't edit in the gallery.

[Happy Now]

Thanks for all the tips... I am trying to upload some projects for a May Portfolio before the deadline, and I think I am being limited since I am so new to the site... Off to try to change that! :)

[veronica8383]

Read and Agreed:thumbup:

[HeatherB]

Read & understood. Do I need to post 10 times before leaving a comment on a person's layout? I don't seem to be able to do that!

[taxed4ever]

I am new here too, I have read the rules and now realize that I have posted something that I should not have.... as soon as I have ten posts I will remove it.

[laguna]

I have only 2 posts with my LO and I cant leaving a comment on the beautiful works in gallery. Its really pity:(

[Darcy Baldwin]

After 10 posts, you're able to comment in the gallery, IM, etc. You should be able to>!

[laguna]

Thank you for quick answer!!! I go...:)

[Timberlyn]

I am more of a siggy maker then a full LO like what most to all of lovely ladies on here do; is that okay to post my works of what I do as a siggy maker I feel just as inivative & love being inspired by anything I see...

[ajfries]

Understood ;)

[monsu]

Thanks for the general info!
Working up to my first ten posts, lol!

[Tronesia]

Thanks for the info...looking for my 10 posts...lol!

[scrappyt]

I am working up to ten posts still too. I didn't realise that was a requirement before and had kind of given up since I couldn't leave love in the gallery.

[g6scrapped]

Hi! I hope it's okay that I already put a layout in the gallery even though I haven't reached my newbie comment limit.. I made sure to use SSD kits. I'm very excited to get snooping around (and a bit intimidated WOW :blink: amazing gallery!) :thumbup:

[FlirtatiousBrat]

that's absolutely fine! :)

[RKSP]

Understood--thanks! Now working to get up to 10 posts....

[kayce]

Hi, I have 14 posts now and am wondering when I can upload in the gallery?

[Darcy Baldwin]

You should be able to now :) If not, sign out, close your browser, and sign back in.

[kayce]

Oh, thank you Darcy. It seems like I am uploading and it says "processing" for about 10 seconds then nothing else. Hmmm. I followed your instructions too. I will try again in a few minutes.

[Darcy Baldwin]

Sometimes that actually means your uploaded piece is too big. Double check to make sure it's under the 200kb/600x600 size before loading.

[kayce]

Oh thank you!! It worked perfectly.

[MissMinx]

i have only Darcy baldwin Stuff from this shop, when i upload it into her personal Darcy baldwin Gallery in the Gallery, with other kits, is it okay or not?

Hugs, Missi

[Darcy Baldwin]

Yes, Missi - as long as you put it in only my designer gallery :)

[SassE Designer]

Check! :) Completely understand! It's been a while since I've done digi, but it's like riding a bike and I can't wait to get back into on a regular basis!! :thumbup: I've heard so much about SSD I had to come and be a part of the Sweet Scene! :)

[EAL]

Read and understood.
I'm new here, so glad to be here

[EAL]

oh I do have a question, do we have to have so many posts before we can PM people, ir not how do we do it, lol, sorry I tried, but it didn't work, and saw a contest from Lliella I wanted to enter.
Thanks

[dreamer101]

that's cool..i had the same question about the posting before Pm'ing...

[dreamer101]

oh and yes read rules :)

[tsmspt]

I am trying to leave some love in the gallery, but I don't see a way--do you have to get approval before you can leave comments??

[Sue Setiadji]

You can comment in the gallery after you have10 posts chalked up in the forum - it may be the same for PMs as well. Keep posting you are very close to that number now!

[tsmspt]

ahh, thank you so much!! I couldn't find the info anywhere and you just gave me another excuse to post!!!!

[makib1218]

Read, understood and accepted! :)
what I have seen so far is very impressive!

Maureen

[petrap]

ok :thumbup:

thanks

[scrapsandsass]

What is the trick to get your LO image into a post? I feel like a total dork.

[jencdesigns]

Quick question - I was planning on enjoying shopping in the big sale on right now - are we allowed to post layouts with products from current designers - even if they're retired/retiring (the products, not the designers)?

Thanks so much :)

[FlirtatiousBrat]

you may :)

[jencdesigns]

you may :)


Thank you so much :)

[Jan Merkley]

Just a quick question...If we have freebies or older kits that we have purchased that are by your designers, may we use them and consider them to be Sweet Shoppe products when we do our layouts? In other words...if they are not current in your shop or are freebies?

Also...what if you buy something here and then the designer leaves? May we still use the kits we bought while that designer was here? So many times they have a sale and then disappear to somewhere else and we buy those kits thinking we can use them in their current place.

Thanks!

[deepounds]

I'm wondering what I should do if I use a kit that is a collab by two different designers. In this case, it's Brotherly Love by Kristin & Meghan. Since we're only supposed to post to one gallery, should I just choose one of them & post there? Or would it be better to just post it to my Member Gallery? :confused:

Thanks a bunch!

[lauren grier]

as long as the product is made by a designer currently selling here @ ssd it is ok to post it in the gallery. (so yes to 1 no to 2) hth! :]

totally up to you ^_^ you can post it just in the member gallery or one or the other designer. Doesn't matter :]

Thanks, Lauren! :)

[cmlc_thomas]

Ok from what I have read so for is that I can only post a layout in gallery if it has something from SSD but I can't post a layout I have made using another designer. Right? Sorry for this but I just want to make sure.

Also for your own personal albums can you post anything you like in those albums? Like anything I have made or any photo I choose to post?

Also I would like to know how I can add a image as a signature?

Sorry I am new to the site!!

[Darcy Baldwin]

Generally, you may only post images into our gallery that contain mostly product from SSD designers. If there is an element or two from other designers, that is fine, but the majority of the design has to be from our designers. Anything you post automatically goes into your personal gallery. You may post photos or projects, but again, it has to be a majority of Sweet Shoppe Design product.

For example..you can use a template you found elsewhere, but the majority of the kit used needs to be from here.

[deepounds]

Megan,

You guys are welcome to post in the designer's gallery if your layout primarily showcases one of their kits! I would recommend that you guys do choose one gallery to upload to and not copy to 5 tho, it's just not neccessary to have so many copies in the gallery most of the time :)

HTH!

Wondering something about this guideline. Just realized today that if I post it in a particular designer's gallery but check Additional Categories (to credit those other designers) the layout posts in all those galleries. Should I not be using that option? Thanks :-)

[cardinalskate]

Thanks for the guidelines, ladies. Read and understood!

[lynnirene]

Thank you for this thread. :) I saw some lovely pages in the gallery and wanted to leave comments so it's very helpful to know how many posts before I can do that.

It's fine for me :thumbup:

Thank you for this. I wondered why I couldn't comment in the gallery! :D

It seems I can't send or receive PMs. When does that feature turn on? TIA!

Are there any freebies that I can use to get me started in these challenges & creating L.O.'s? In December I should be able to purchase some kits.

Read-N-Agreed!!

I'm a newbie here, @ least fairly new. I hope to find some challenges to take part in, & also to be able to post something in my signature: I tried, however am not able for some reason to post anything in my signature line. It is just my name in a fancy signature line that I want to apply. I @ this moment do not have a designer to work with on a creative team as yet, however hope to find one somewhere in the possible near future. BTW: How do I post an image in my signature line? Or do I have to have a certain amt., of posts B4 I can do that.

Ok, read & understood. I was wondering why I couldn't post comments at the pages I like....

How do you leave comments in the gallery? There is no box like this one at the bottom of the page so I'm confused.
