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 :
A word that describes you!
#2. Product :
Scrap with any of our teen inspired 13th Anniversary collabs that are releasing this month!
#3. Featured :
Bobbie &
Cheri
Our featured designer articles have been expanded since we started our alphabet inspired series, and are showcased on the blog each time a new designer goes into the spotlight. Your challenge is to use any solo product from either Bobbie or Cheri PLUS discover something from either Bobbie or Cheri's interviews this month to use as inspiration for a layout, be sure to tell us what inspired you in your gallery comments!
The following are a few ideas on how you may glean inspiration from a FD interview... Using this interview with Meg [
featured in December] ... You might be inspired by the red and white cookie jars in her kitchen to scrap a red & white layout. Maybe you'd like to include the quote she shared “The Best Thing About Memories Is Making Them” on your page, maybe you were inspired by the letter “G” to scrap your own OLW starting with the letter G... or perhaps you might simply want to lift one of the layouts created by the Babes to show off the FD freebie. It’s totally up to YOU to decide how you'd want to be loosely inspired by one of our FD blog posts.
#4. Inspired By :
Search for the word “LOVE” on
https://www.designspiration.net/ and scrap a layout inspired by something you find! Free yourself to use color inspiration, quote inspiration, typography inspiration, or recreate a photo you discover. Anything goes with this one, just have fun and get creative! Be sure to show us what inspired you and tell us a little about how you used the inspiration on your page in your tracker post.
#5. List :
"Brown paper packages tied up with string" ... show us a list of your 10 favourite things, be they big or small.
#6. Leaving Love :
Leave love on 15 layouts in the gallery and then post the link to each in your tracker thread.
Create your own place marker by using your favorite layout you've left love for during the month to "hold" that spot on your card ♥
Right click on a page in the gallery and save... follow by resizing this saved image to 97 X 97 before adding it to your Passport tracker image.

#16. Rewind / Flashback :
Paper2Digi used to be one of our most popular challenges here at SSD!
This month we want you to lift this seriously scrumptious paper scrapbooking layout by Paige Evans.

As an alternative, feel free to get creative with a variety of paper strips like this fun layout from Sugarbabe Holly to make this challenge work for you!
#17. Scrap Stash :
Scrap with any Valentine’s or Love themed kit from the shoppe!
#18. Scraplift :
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Kim B. 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.
