December 2022 - Show Off & Shout Out!

https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/c...c2022_SOSO.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!

I'm picking this one for more than one reason. I love pictures of my 3 fellas together. :wub: I also love the colors and stripes and big, fun cluster.

I feel like showing off my Grinchmas layout is the right choice this month because it stretched me outside of a few scrapping comfort zones. I turned a template instead of using it as-is. I saw a rainbow on a template and set it up with some different colors. I used a suuuuper patterened background, which I usually don't do very often. I used a really thick, chunky frame and framed my journaling instead of a photo. I feel like instead of trying one new scary thing, I did a bunch, and that's what makes me extra proud of this layout this month.

I am obsessed with this layout by stormchaser. First, the colours are amazing, and then the way they look with the photos works beautifully. I also absolutely love the layering and clustering, the way the card is tucked in... everything about it just draws me in! So stunning.

Let's try this again, November was insane!

I love how this one came together - the costume was fun, but picking things for the page was more fun!

I love this by Cinna, the photo is awesome (is that her dog next to her?!) and the shabby chic feel of the page is perfect for the subject of tea.
