May 2023 - Show Off & Shout Out!

Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers!

Welcome to this month's Show Off & Shout Out companion thread! This is your place to strut your stuff and give some love to the scrappers who inspire you each month including yourself!

Rather than incorporating leaving love into this year's challenges, we decided we'd rather give you a spot to look through the gallery, leave love on your favorite pages, show off the pages you're most proud of creating this month and shout out to scrappers whose layouts really stood out to you! Best of all, we're giving away FREE stuff to say thanks for helping make our community sweet, inspiring, and uplifting too!

Here's how it works...

Claim your spot in this thread each month and before 11:59pm EST on the last day of the month, update your post with the following info...

Links to 15 pages you've left love on!
An image of the layout you want to show off... Tell us why you're proud of creating it and why you love it so much!
An image of a layout from a fellow sweet shopper you want to give a shout out to... Tell us why it inspires you, and what you love about it!

That's it! Just for showing off and shouting out, you'll be entered to win a free kit or mini bundle up to $15 in value from our sweet spot because at the beginning of every month, we'll be choosing winners at random from everyone who left love, showed off their favorite pages or nominated their fellow scrappers to win!

To be clear and concise...

Leave Love on 15 pages - 1 entry for yourself
Show Off - 1 entry for yourself
Shout Out - 1 entry for the scrapper you're giving a shout out to

** Remember that Sugarbabes & SSD Designers are not eligible, so be sure your Shout Outs are for pages created by other community members. **
*Monthly winners will be drawn at random from all entries received.

That's it! We think our community members are the best in digi-land, so we hope you love our new challenges and that you find this monthly thread an uplifting and inspiring way to interact with your fellow scrapper!

This month I'm picking this Magical Surprise layout as my show off. I love how everything came together, the sketch and the kit are a wonderful combination. I also love my clusters with all the flowers but also with many themed elements.

My shout out goes this month to ClaireG's Enjoy The Outdoors layout. I love to go on a walk myself, esp. in nature. I love the way the template brings out all nature's beauty and the kits support it as well. Those clusters are gorgeous, I love all the butterflies too.

I was surprised by the end result of this layout. I was in such a dark place when I was making it, it was a surprise to see so much colour, a sign that I was coming through my stress and anxiety and out into the light.

Shout out:
I love this by Megan43 - it's beautiful and I love the message of not defining someone in one way - beauty tempered with a strong personality. The rays are perfect for the photo and I just love the bright yellow colour palette.

Show Off: I was going back and forth, couldn't decide if I wanted to frame the larger photo but I'm glad that I did. Scrapping with one of my favourite kits made this page come together beautifully.
