Happy Saturday Ladies,
New here and don't know a soul. I'm still pretty new to all the digi scrapping and love it. On a new journey this year and loving life. Can't wait to meet everyone.

Hi,
started the Hygge challenge. Just making sure I am following the rules. Thank you.

[GraceJ]

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and I'm a real person.
I'm pondering if there are someway that I can edit the images that I upload to the gallery. I made a layout, but when I read again the instructions I've found I missed the central point of the requirements, so I re-do my layout and I'd like to delete or edit the previous layout, but I haven't found the way
Also, I would like to comment in someone else layouts, but I can't find the way
Thank you so much for having me, love being part of this site

[Laure]

Hello!
I'm new here and I'm a real person. I wanted to leave some comment on some gallery's layout, but it seems that I'm not allowed to do such a thing yet
And thanks for the place!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi ladies. I apologize for the delay in getting your permissions changed here. My computer died last week, and I'm waiting for parts to get it fixed. I'm trying to work from my ancient phone, but that isn't as easy as I'd hoped! At any rate, I've got you fixed up, so you should all be able to play along in the challenges! Welcome to SSD!

[antebellum]

Hello everyone ~ I've lurked off and on here for some time but thought I would finally pop in the forums and say hi! I'm usually pretty busy as a designer but I like to find downtime for scrapping too. Hoping to get some time to participate in the challenges at some point. And looking forward to "meeting" everyone here.

Hi there! Welcome to SSD!

[knittingbec]

Hi! I've been shopping here for a long time, but have never posted until now! My desire to scrapbook has recently been rekindled and I'm looking forward to keeping that motivation going by getting involved in the community here!

Hi there! We're so glad you decided to jump in and join us! I've changed your forum permissions, so feel free to make yourself at home. You may still notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts, but that will correct itself. An easy way to bump your post count up is commenting in the gallery.

Welcome to Sweet Shoppe!

[CarolynK]

Hi Robin

I can't edit my post in the Passport to Tomorrow challenges to include the new layouts I've done - could I have my permissions increased to allow me to edit my post, and also leave some love in the gallery.

Thank you

[Libby Pritchett]

You're all fixed now, Carolyn! You may notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts, but if you'll go leave some love in the gallery, that'll bump your post count up and fix any problems you may still experience.

Thank you for the fast response Libby

[bumblebeee]

Not new to your store, but still fairly new the forums. I would like to participate in your birthday events but just wanted to check on the guidelines. Are all of your events set up that we are allowed to use any products from current designers? (ie freebies, retired kits etc being okay to use) Also is there a minimum about of SSD products required on your layouts?

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Jennifer!

Any products from current SSD designers can be used in the challenge. This includes freebies and retired kits. As long as it's by a current SSD designer, you're fine!

As for the amount of SSD product, all of our challenges follow the same policy. You must use Sweet Shoppe products for the bulk of your page. Outside templates, minor accents, etc. are perfectly ok as long as at a glance the page is obviously created with products from our shoppe and designers!

Thank you so much for the answer! Now off to start scrapping!

We are so glad to have you here, so if you're just getting started in our community and arent able to do something you'd like to, simply post here so we know you're a real person, and one of our administrators will upgrade your account to a full membership.

Thanks so much for your understanding

Robin

Hi I have just posted my 1st layout. I wanted to update it, but find I am not allowed. I see I must post here a request for upgrade to full membership. Hope you can help, as I am trying to follow your 13th birthday celbration challenges. Thank you.

Hi there!

Welcome! I"ve changed your forum permissions, so you should have a little more freedom now. We do have some spam filters in place, so you may still notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts. At that point, those things should correct themselves. The quickest way to bump up your post count is just to leave some love in the gallery!

Thank you Libby. All working OK now and I have been able to edit what I needed to. Regards Broomy.

HI

I just wanted to confirm that I am a real person and can't wait to get involved.

Thank you.

HI! Welcome! I've got your forum permissions changed, but you still may notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts. You can leave some comments in the gallery to bump your count up quickly!

[DoggieTown]

I’m new to the forum but not to SSD. I have tons of digital files that I am looking to print at home. I have several of the pocket card templates from Cindy Schneider and have no idea where to begin with them.

Hi there!

I've changed your forum permissions, so you have more freedom around the site now. You may still notice some restrictions until you have 10 posts, but if you'll leave some comments in the gallery, that'll bump your count up quickly.

If you have questions about templates or other products, I'd encourage you to start a thread in the forum here so that others can see your question and chime in with advice.

Welcome to the forum!

[Otte/Penny]

Brand new member here, and trying to get this to work. Maybe if I post here I can succeed? I think I am a real person. Although, maybe I'm more cat than human. are cats allowed?

[Libby Pritchett]

LOL I happen to love cats, so I think that's a totally acceptable answer! ♥

I've got your permissions changed, so you can jump in and make yourself at home now! You may still notice some strange stuff until you have 10 posts, but if you'll leave some comments in the gallery, that'll bump your post count up quickly.

Welcome to SSD!

Hi all! I'm Laura, and while I've been scrapping for almost 20 years (omg, I think I just dated myself as officially 'old') I've just dived into digital scrapbooking. This place is SO fun, and I'm learning a ton just by going through older posts, blog tutorials, etc. And I'm participating in the Passport, which has been SO fun!
To you veterans, what's your best tip for us newbies?

This is a great place to start:
https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/tutorials/

You already said you are participating in the passport, which is another great place!!! If you have any questions, feel free to start a post in the Sweet Little Community forum. Everyone here is always so helpful and amazing!

Welcome to Sweet Shoppe Designs!! See you in the gallery!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Laura! So glad to have you join us... don't feel bad... I just celebrated my 20th "scrapiversary," too!

I've changed your permissions, so you are free to jump in and get settled. If you notice anything strange, that should correct itself when you have 10 posts. If you'll comment on some layouts in the gallery, that'll get your post count up a little more quickly.

I'd encourage you to start a thread or two in the main forum to ask any questions you may have as most of our members won't read this thread.

Welcome to SSD!

[cooperL788]

Thank you so much! Can't wait to get to know you all much better!

[EmStafrace]

Hi Everyone,

Most of you I know but its been awhile since I've been to SSD...I know my bad! I ended up having to re-register for the forum because my old email I used last time was from a quizzillion years ago and figured its easier to set up a whole new account, so I am ready and rearing to go finally!

I’m looking forward to making new digi scrap buddies and to start swooning over the gallery.

Hugs Em x

[Libby Pritchett]

Hey there! I got you all fixed up, so jump in and make yourself at home (again! LOL) Once you get your post count up to 10 all your restrictions should be lifted automatically, but if you want to hurry the process along, just go leave some love in the gallery!

Welcome back!

Hi Laura! Welcome to SSD! I paper scrapped for about 14 years before starting digi in 2012. I would never go back to paper!! I hope you'll love digi as much as I do.
I have 2 suggestions:
1) Tour the gallery and see what kind of LOs speak to you.
2) Play around with your program, and find your style. The nice thing about digi is that you can use products over & over again!
I'm glad you're here!
Like Libby said, if you have any questions, the forum is great, and people here are very helpful!

Welcome back!

Yay thank you Libby.
I did just try leaving a comment in the gallery but I kept getting a notice saying 'You did not fill in the comments or rating field.’

I’ll try later after making more posts in the forum and see if that helps

CARRIE!!! Hello hunnie! It is a bit exciting to pop in here, I do lurk especially in the store, but here I am checking out some new scrappers to me and swooning at the gallery. I thought it high time to come out from under my rock hey! lol

[stephc777]

Hello - I am a real person =) I've been around for a while but am finally getting back into digital scrapbooking. Got 5 of the 18 challenges done for the passport - hoping to at least get to the 20% level this month. Baby steps!

Hi there! Welcome!

I've changed your permissions, so you should be able to be more involved now! You may still notice some strange things until you have 10 posts due to some spam filters that we have in place. You can bump your post count up quickly by leaving some comments in the gallery.

Please make yourself at home!

[lm44west]

Hi,

I haven't been around in a few years and am just getting back into digital scrapbooking. I want to post to a challenge and do not have any rights. Since I am not a new user, how do I get permissions?

Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary! Welcome back! I did change your permissions, but you may notice that you don't really have full freedom until you have 10 posts (we have some sam filters in place). You can easily bump your count up by leaving some comments in the gallery!

[AmyWillyard]

I am a real person I took a break from digital scrapbooking in 2008 - busy raising kiddos and working and didn't take time for me. My kids are older, I have a different husband and now I'm BACK to capturing more of our memories and am going to start by doing a massive catch-up - I'm so behind and am going to embrace simplicity and pocket pages from 2008 to now. Thank you for allowing me to join your community!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Amy! Welcome back to digi! So happy to have you joining us! I've changed your membership settings, but you may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts due to some spam filters that are in place. You can reach that magic number of 10 quickly by leaving some love in the gallery!

Again, welcome to Sweet Shoppe! We're glad to have you!

[scrapchyck]

Hi there! I'm Becky...used to go by webchyck back in the day, but don't have the same email address anymore, so I'm starting over with scrapchyck! Some of you may remember me from my SBG days...yikes, it was a long time ago (like 9 years!)...where I was part of the Studio Crew. Trying to get back into the hobby I have missed so much, and since I knew Studio Flergs was here and recognized several other designers from way-back-when, thought I would start here! The shoppe does not disappoint! Not that I NEED a single thing...my stash is so extensive from all the years spent on a creative team...but who can resist??? So many new trends! I especially love how kit themes have branched out so much! So fun! Looking forward to iNSD...so many fond memories of weekends celebrating our craft in the past. And shopping! Always shopping!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Becky! We're so glad you're here and jumping back in to digi! Feel free to make yourself at home. I've changed your forum permissions, but you may still notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts. We have spam filters in place, but those will go away on their own. A quick way to bump your post count up is to leave some love in the gallery!

Hi Ladies,
Its been a while since I participated. I typically just buy supplies. Thought I would join in the fun this year, but my user id is having rights issues. Once that is fixed I can do more of my bingo.

Welcome! I've got your permissions changed, but you still may notice some restrictions until you reach 10 posts. The quickest way to bump that post count up is just to head to the gallery and comment on a few layouts.

Glad you're joining us!

[Kolohigirl]

Robin,
Could you look at my rights. I've been trying to play along with Bingo, and other games. No matter what I try, I cannot get an image to show up in my replies to the threads. I can do links, but not images. I've tried using the Insert image function on my message and it looks like I'm formatting it the same way as I do for other vbulletin applications I've used, but I can't get it to work on your site.

Thanks,

[Libby Pritchett]

It looks like you should be good to go. If you've had fewer than 10 posts, that could've been causing your issue. But your settings are all fine... are you still experiencing problems today?

Actually, I just looked at some of your edit history on your posts in the Bingo thread. It looks like you were posting the incorrect URL in the IMG bracket, and that was causing your issues. That's why it wasn't showing up as an image. The image code should end in ".jpg"

Here's a tutorial to show you which URL you should be copying.
