March 2012: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

[Robin Carlton]

Sweet Shoppers... Do you know what time it is?

It's time to dig in to newest inspiring challenge board at Pinterest! That's right, March is here which means it's time to start a brand new month with all-new challenges! Are you ready? Here are the details...

To participate in this month's challenges just visit our March Portfolio Pinboard (http://pinterest.com/inspiredbyssd/march-portfolio/) at pinterest to check out the incredible inspiration posted by our challenge team for you to create a portfolio from this month.

The first 8 days of each month will bring new challenges from each member of our team, so be sure to follow along to find out all of the options available to you to this month. On the 9th, you'll be able to download a printable .pdf of the month's challenges from this thread (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60223) to help you keep track of the challenges you've done and still need to do!

While you don't need a Pinterest account to view our pinboard and participate in our monthly challenges, Darcy Baldwin would be more than happy to get you a Pinterest invite if you email her!

As usual, you'll be using this thread to claim a spot to track your own progress and points. Each pin at Pinterest will have not only visual inspiration for you, but also a verbal prompt and a point value too. Simply complete a layout for the pin and post it in your tracker thread as always to earn your points!

For March, all layouts and points need to be posted by 11:59pm EST at the end of the day on April 1st. If you're joining us for the first time this month, you can have a look at the amazing portfolio tracker threads from previous months to see how it's done, but here are the basics...

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 the 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 numbers shown above each challenge at Pinterest 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!!

Finally, while I sorta sucked at pinning this month due to our anniversary celebration and designer call, be sure to watch our Challenge Inspiration Board (https://pinterest.com/ssdpins/challenge-inspiration/) at Pinterest to see some amazing takes on our monthly portfolio! There are so many talented scrappers here at SSD and we love sharing their work with you.

That's it! Good luck and have fun,

Robin & the challenge team!
