September 2022 - Show Off & Shout Out!

https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/c...t2022_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!

My show off is for this page. I love that I went with a sunset photo and dreaming big theme for the 'hit the snooze button' challenge. I also love the colors, the template and the use of the journaling card. It all came together.

My shout out goes to Marijke this month. I LOVE those photostrips to show off all those beautiful pics. And I love that the colors of the buildings come back in the background and elements.

I like this one because I know how much work went into it. I love how it turned out and seeing all the photos over the years. I can't wait to add to it.

I always have a hard time picking one but this one stood out. Love the photos and the simplicity. I also love the story and how she is preserving these memories.

I love how this layout turned out. I love that mushroom paper and I had recently taken pictures of Nathan with the huge mushroom.
I love the colors and wooden touches.

I love this fun layout from Kimberly. She captured the teenagish, gamish feel perfectly.
I love the grungy look along with the pops of color and big, bold title.

I'm always drawn to white background (or in this case cream) because I think it makes everything else really pop. I love this template. I use it over and over again and the layouts always come out so pretty.

Shout Out: AJM

Wow! What else can you say! It's the opposite of mine with the black background but it pops as much! And that cluster! Wow!

Normally for TAT I have a clear fave in my layouts, but this month, I honestly loved all my work LOL. I chose this one, as I am just getting to grips (2 years later) with blending and I love the blended stars in the background. This layout really was a labor of love for me and I think it shows.

Sara is new to SSD, and I am loving all her fabulous pages. This one in particular is just awesome. The details are what make the page for me. The droplets, the oversized oars, and the use of the Bass (?!), perfectly placed and shadowed.

Fall is my favorite season so I love scrapping fall pages. This is also rare as I am usually a template scrapper.

I picked this amazing layout by Stefanie. Art journal pages interest me so much that I would really like to be good at it. This is a great inspiration page!

This one was different for me. I usually stick with musical-themed elements for my son's concert pages, but this time I used the pine theme because the piece they played that night was titled, "Pine of Rome."

Shout Out:
I love this gorgeous birthday page by Claire. Her pretty photo takes center stage with the L-shaped framing of embellishments. Her shadowing is amazing, too.
