I try and write these prompts with broad themes/concepts in mind and 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 your family. Here's a bit of extra information on a few of this month's challenges to help you get started :
#3: Participate in the SSD Blog Scraplift posted on October 7th...
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Kim B. hosts a Scraplift challenge on the SSD Blog.
You have the entire month to play along and complete your page.
#5: Scrap with any solo product from an October Featured Designer...
Scrap with any product that's by either
Brook or
Rubia
#6: Photography Challenge - Blended...
Feel free to get creative and use your favorite method to blend a photo ... masks, paint splatters, gradient fades, etc!
#8 + #17: DOUBLE PAGER...
Content and design are totally up to you on these two squares - think of them as Wild Cards ♥
However, if you choose to do the single horizontal row of 14, 24, 17, 8, 9
OR if you complete a blackout then these two pages
MUST compliment and coordinate with one another.
#9: Pay it Forward - Leave Love on 15 Gallery Pages...
You leave love on 15 layouts in the gallery and then post the link to each in your tracker thread.
Use the place marker below to "hold" that spot on your card ♥
First - click on the image below ... then, once you're redirected, right click the image that appears and save it as a .png file.
#10: Emma Signature Font...
Click on the image below to download the font and then use it on your page.
#16: Pumpkins, Apples, Sweaters...
Feel free to scrap about any [or all] of these prompts.
Think Pumpkin Carving... Pumpkin Patches... Pumpkin Pie!
Apple Harvests... Apple Donuts... Apple Pie!
Sweater Weather... Bundling Up... Crochet/Knitting!
Or whatever these ideas might inspire in you
#18: Alphabetical...
This is a fun prompt that coordinates with the launch of our new round of SSD's Featured Designers [Free w/Purchase Kits!]
You could use any of the Alphabet inspired FD kits that are rolling out for this prompt - like Melissa's fantastic
A is for Awesome kit that's available FWP until 10/11, keeping in mind that Brook + Rubia will release the
B &
C coordinates this month!
OR you could feature an alphabetized bullet list of goals, favorite songs/books/authors ... or scrap about something that starts with your favorite letter of the alphabet, or feature a letter that ties to the subject matter of your page.
#19: Scraplift - Bingo Challenge Thread...
Easy Peasy... just scraplift a page from the person who holds the spot above you in the
October Bingo Challenge Thread.
Example: #8 will scraplift a page from the gallery of the person holding the #7 spot, and so on. If you happen to be the first person to post - ie: #3, then you'll scraplift the last person to post in the
September Bingo Challenge Thread.
#22: Cider, Cocoa, Coffee...
Think Hot Drinks &/or Favorite Beverages... Sharing drinks with friends/family... Activities around concocting your own brews
