October 2021: Passport FAQ
 

If you have any questions regarding THIS month's Passport challenges, please post them here.

We have a wonderful team and community here at SSD....
so someone is sure to get back to you ASAP with answers to anything and everything related to our Passport Challenge System!

Here is a list of this month's challenge prompts for easy reference:

#1. One Little Word : Classified
You can use this word as/in your title work, within your journaling, or simply let it inspire the direction of your layout.

#2. Product : Think Pink!
Scrap a monochromatic pink layout for Breast Cancer Awareness month using one of the many pink kits you can find in the shoppe.

#3. Featured : Kelly + Wendy
Our brand new series of Featured Designer freebies are here for 2021, and we can’t wait for these fun kits to inspire you! Thanks to a suggestion from community member, Lisa aka Armygrl, our theme this year is focused on all of those special days that make up our sweet memories. From Rainy Days to Ordinary Days, A Day at the Zoo or even a Kinda Nice Day like Erica’s first kit in the series, we can’t wait for you to get your hands on these beauties! Taking inspiration from these fun kits, each month we’ll be asking you to scrap a page focused on the kind of day our designers are celebrating in their featured designer freebies! You’re welcome to use the kit itself, or simply scrap a page inspired by the title, but get creative and let your imagination take the lead.

#4. Inspired By : Hidden Text

#16. Pop Culture : Top Secret
Top secret ideas are wildly popular throughout popular culture. Be it in regards to mysteries, or spies, or superheroes. They're all concepts that share huge followings and captivate fans and enthusiasts worldwide. Have some fun creating a page that captures the spirit of anything that encompasses what you love about the thrill of discovering an elusive secret. Think about reading/watching your favorite cloak & dagger thrillers, unpacking and enjoying this month's subscription box, discovering a hidden talent or superpower of someone you love, or take pride in the secret ingredient that makes your favorite recipe extra special.

#18. Scraplift : Hosted on the Blog
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Angie will host an inspiring Scraplift Challenge on the SSD Blog.
You have the entire month to play along and complete your page.

To keep in mind while you're scrapping...
These prompts are written and created with fairly broad themes/concepts in mind and I think that personal interpretation is key. You can certainly approach a prompt literally, or I encourage you to think about it in a different way ... take a creative approach on ways to apply prompts so that they'll work for you and your family.

My mind immediately went to

:D

Oops, wrong post

OMG, this is hilarious!

anybody got any ideas for the costume or dress up one if you have pics of neither? Some creative spin maybe?

Also currently concealing .... any thoughts on that one, anyone?

Halloween. What about a pyjama onesie? Dressing up for dinner or an event? Could journal about how you are NOT into dressing up?

Concealing. Any hidden desires/wishes? Do you hide chocolate from the family? :D Do you decorate you house to hide/disguise an unwanted feature (e.g. put a plant in front of where the kids drew on the wall). Do you wear makeup? Could scrap about your favourite brands. Do you subconsciously conceal an aspect of your personality when you're around others? (e.g. I try to conceal the fact that I'm not comfortable around others. I fake confidence. Most people wouldn't have a clue that I'm not 100% confident).

thanks Jacinda, the concealing ones are helpful :)

I dont think I can go photoless for the photo challenge tho :D I'll come up with something I am sure.

What about a photo using a SnapChat filter that looks "like" a costume? You might could say that that is the closest you get to being in costume?

OOOooooh! ding! thank you so much lol

Your info says you are from Orlando, what about Disney or Universal Characters? That was where my mind went.

I just got back from Disney so when I hear Conceal...I go right to
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
LOL

Product question: Are Misty Cato products still eligible for challenges this month, or has it been too long since she retired?

Maybe I won't be the only one wondering about this.
Challenge #3: Featured : Kelly + Wendy

For the people who didn't get Kelly's kit (and Wendy's featured designer isn't out yet), what will you do for inspiration because the theme is so specific. And what other kit could you use?

For Kelly's you can use any of her kits to scrap "A Perfect Day". :) I don't think it has to be Vermont. I am not sure if that is what you are asking or if that helps. :) Maybe Wendy can give us a teaser on her theme/title so you can use hers instead.

Since I have been to the States only twice (both times Florida, next year for the third time, again Florida), I didn't know what to do with a kit about Vermont... So I really don't know what to do with that theme either (glad you asked).
I do like Kimberly27's idea of going with only 'A Perfect Day', that is broad enough for anybody... I do hope that's okay though...
Or I wait until Wendy's kit comes out, but that is near the end of the month. I do have enough to scrap tho...

Yes, that is what I was asking. Vermont. I've never been.

I think it is just to be used as inspiration so I would just go with Perfect Day. :)

Sounds good! Thank you

I accidentally deleted my list when I updated my tracking thread, do we have to link to the page or is the image itself ok? (like the image we place our pages on and then uplaod)
