July 2011: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

[*Celeste*]

Hey Ladies!

July! I don’t know about you but around here we all look forward to July. July means weekend trips to Cape Cod, day camp for the boys, barbeques, weekends filled with outings to the pool, bike riding, and jaunts to the shore. Fun fun fun! We have a fabulous list of challenges for you this month. Here’s hoping July is your month to complete the portfolio!

For ease of reference, we've created a printable checklist of this month's portfolio. Click the link below to download and print.

July 2011: Sweet Shoppe Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker (http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sitestuff/SSD-July2011-Portfolio.pdf)

As always, you MUST use primarily Sweet Shoppe products to complete your challenge layouts.

3 – 365 Days of Bliss! We’ve been sharing 365 Days of Bliss on the blog (http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/blog/)with you. Create a page inspired by one of the blissful posts found on the blog! Alternatively, create a page that showcases your bliss whatever that may be!

4 – Color inspiration! Look at this color chart (http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/25928399_BQWdEHU5_c.jpg)and choose a description that fits you - then scrap using the color and description on your page!

6 - Poster Inspiration – use this poster (http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/6506042_e8sU51vu_c.jpg)to inspire your page – maybe use spokes of journaling or lots of yellow or scrap something A to Z!

7 - Scrap your (or your child's) first name. Discover the etymology (http://www.behindthename.com/)behind your name and scrap a page about it, how does it fit you? does it? What name would you rather have based on the etymology?

32 - Life Lessons 2011 - this year SSD is encouraging you to create a Life's Little Lessons Album! One of the greatest things we can pass along to our loved ones is the stories of lessons we've learned in our own lives, so this year we're challenging you to do a little soul searching and create an album of these little learning experiences.
Pick 3 of the 5 topics below and scrap 3 layouts to earn 5 points:
32a – “In life, you should always keep it real…even when it doesn’t make you look the best.”
32b – “When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you are not saying ‘no’ to yourself.”
32c – “Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious”
32d - “You can only be young once, but you can always be immature.”
32e - “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Ten Point Task - 10 Primary Points Possible
33 – It's summer and it's time to celebrate! You know what all the best celebrations have, don't you? Fireworks! It's in that spirit of celebration that this month's challenge is to create an explosion box. There are lots of shapes you can create, and the sky is the limit for the subject of your box. Just make sure it has at least 3 layers and you're good to go. We can't wait to see what you create!!

Heather Roselli has a set of templates (http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=21713&cat=0&page=2)in the Shoppe that can help you complete this challenge.

And here is a tutorial (http://lifeaslou.blogsome.com/2007/03/06/explosion-boxes-a-life-as-lou-online-class/) in case you want to try to do it by hand.

And here are some inspiring examples:
Sara (http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=180403)
Rebecca (http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=180853)
Ms. Jo (http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=181474)
Hybrid Babe Juli (http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=189450)

Flex Tip - Be Creative! If the challenge is asking for a TOP 10 of your favorite TV shows, feel free to scrap your husband's or child's favorite shows instead! If it's asking a question, feel free to ask the question of a loved one and scrap a page for them instead.
___________
DON'T FORGET! As you complete layouts for our challenges, you'll be tracking them yourself in one post that you'll update throughout the month. For July, all layouts and points need to be posted by 11:59pm EST at the end of the day on August 1st. If you're joining us for the first time this month, have a look at the amazing portfolio tracker threads from throughout the year to see how it's done!

1) Post to claim your tracker spot for the month.
2) When you finish a layout for a challenge, upload it to the gallery and right click to get the image information for your layout.
3) Return to your tracker spot you claimed in this thread, and click edit to add the image of your layout to your portfolio. You'll want to add your layout in order of the numbered list above and include that number and the points earned above your image.
4) At the very end of your portfolio, please keep a running tally of the total points earned to date.

PLEASE NOTE: Portfolio points may NOT be carried over into the following month as each month begins anew with a fresh set of inspiring challenges! Additionally, you may NOT use the same layout for more than one numbered task - each task requires a new layout. For more information, visit the Portfolio FAQ.

Please don't post chatter or comments in this thread as we'd like to keep it clean and easy to check at the end of the month. If you want to give praise to your favorite prompts or layouts, feel free to chatter as much as you like in our General Info & Chatter Forum. Thanks!!
