February 2023 - Show Off & Shout Out!

https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/c...2023_SOSO2.jpg

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!

My spot for this month.

This was such a fun moment while in Epcot, we really enjoyed watching Pooh Bear playing around. I also love the way everything came together in this layout, with the template and the kit I used. The colors are perfect, the clusters turned out nice, but what I like the best is the bee Pooh tries to catch near the title.

My shout out goes to JillW with her Pay It Forward layout:

Not only is the design gorgeous with the split papers, the amazing clusters and the book, the story is touching as well. Kindness that's been heaven sent.

This one has a different feel than most of my layouts. A little brighter and "cleaner." And I love that picture of Nathan. :wub:

Show off: I chose this one because I spent a lot of time warping the papers and LOTS of lighting layers at various opacities to make it feel real!

I am very proud of this page and the others in the little series of did of Blast from the Past. I wanted to highlight some of the things I remember most from childhood and tween/teen years. This was the teen/teens (90's)

This was a lot of work but so worth it. I don't document things about myself as much as I should, plus I really like all the info that is included with this page.
