July 2013: Challenge Portfolio & Tracker

[Robin Carlton]

Hey hey Sweet Shoppers!

July is here, and that means that we're over the hump of 2013! I spent some time the other day looking through the portfolio thread for June and WOW! there are were some incredible layouts created for our June challenges! What better way to keep the Summer Scrap-A-Thon going than to participate in this month's fabulous challenge portfolio? If you're new to our challenge system, it may be helpful to read about the changes we've implemented this year in our 2013 Portfolio Guide (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69244)!

To participate in this month's challenges you can visit our July 2013 (http://pinterest.com/inspiredbyssd/july-2013-portfolio/) challenge pinboard at pinterest to check out the ahhh-mazing inspiration posted by our challenge team for you to create a portfolio from this month OR you can download our absolutely scrumptious July 2013 Challenge Idea Book (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26386)!

https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sitestuff/2013-cover-jul.jpg (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26386)

As promised, it's a .pdf of layouts from our amazing staffers which will showcase each challenge one at a time so you get ideas on how to turn some of our wacky ideas into actual pages which showcase the memories and photos you love!

Now instead of reading a challenge and wondering how to make it work, you'll have some amazing inspiration for each and every pin right at your fingertips. Best of all, if Pinterest isn't for you, each pin, challenge and point value is included right there in the idea book, so you can download and start scrapping and earning points right away!

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

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, 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.

Don't forget, we've lowered the points you need to earn rewards all summer long to the following scale...

10 points = 20% discount
20 points = 30% discount
30 points = 40% discount

So get busy scrapping and earning those rewards for the most scrumptious summer full of sweet stuff ever!

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.

Happy Scrapping!

Robin

#3 The mixture of shapes and colors in these vintage quilts by Daintytime are amazing! Use one of them as inspiration for your next layout. - 2 pt. | I was inspired by this quilt (http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/20075132/color-study-308?ref=shop_home_active). It looks like it has been put together, then cut apart & rearranged, then put back together.

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/data/647/Sunset-in-spring.jpg (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=291323&title=early-spring-sunset&cat=647)

#16 Clare Caufield's pen-and-ink drawings are beautiful, fun, and whimsical. Use one of her featured artwork as a jumping-off point for a layout. - 2pts | I was inspired by the her drawing of Paris with all the pink in it!

(https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=290658&title=i-want-toemember&cat=647)


#20 This is such a beautiful white layout. Use it as inspiration to create your own monochromatic layout in any color you choose. You may have an accent color, but your page should focus on various shades of a single color. - 2 pts.

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/data/647/Monochrome-Magnolia.jpg (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=289851&title=the-magnolia-tree&cat=647)
