Hello-Hello Sweet Chickas! I hope you'll have a great time helping us celebrate The Shoppe's 15th Birthday all month long! There are lots of games and challenges taking place in the forum every day. So be sure to check-in, participate in the giveaways and collect all of the wonderfully fun freebies.
For our returning participants, you'll notice a few changes to this year's round of Passport challenges! We’ve got new Featured Designer freebies PLUS two new rotational prompts that will both change each month - So Sketchy! and Dealers Choice!! Be sure to check out the
February Passport FAQ thread for more details on those.
As always, I encourage you to think outside the box, get a little experimental, and ultimately, be adventurous! Don't forget, no matter what the monthly theme may be, there are loads of wonderful ways to incorporate your own personal inspiration. So don't be intimidated - jump into the fun, get creative and scrap pages that capture YOUR memories!
So without further ado, I'm thrilled to introduce you to February's Passport to Party...

Visit our
February Passport FAQ, and look over the detailed list of ALL of this month's challenges.
Pages should be created using MOSTLY Sweet Shoppe products. Meaning that they are OBVIOUSLY made with our products - small touches / outside templates are absolutely fine. Scrap whatever challenge you like, and add a 97 x 97 px image to the corresponding challenge above. The keywords on the scrumptious image above all correspond to a challenge in the FAQ, so the "color" challenge, goes in the color spot, and so on.
Reply to this thread by Midnight EST, February 28th, with an image of your completed passport to earn your sweet stuff! Be sure to include any comments, gallery love lists, etc. in your post if the challenge asks for them.
PLEASE NOTE: we would LOVE if you would upload your FULL SIZE passport image to an outside image host like Imgur, Dropbox, Google Photos, etc. so that we can see your 1150px wide passport in its full glory!

3 lucky scrappers to win a sweet treat of their choice from this month's Featured Designers: Meagan + Flergs!
In addition, One fabulous
Out of the Box layout posted in this month's
Passport Inspiration Portal, that we think took a challenge in a fun and particularly inspiring direction, will win a $10 gift certificate too! So start thinking outside the box and get creative with our monthly prompts to make pages you love!
