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 : Remembrance
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 : Piled Photos
Scrap a page featuring loads of piled photos.
#3. Featured :
Ru +
Crystal +
Grace
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 one of our featured designers this month PLUS discover something from either Ru, Crystal, or Grace'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 : Memory Journals
Let the designs and conceptual layouts of memory journals inspire your page.
#5. List : Weekly Plan (Sun-Sat)
Scrap a list of your memories from the week... think activities, schedules or meal planning, etc.
#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.
#7. Photography : Polarizing Filters
Run your photo(s) through your favorite polarizing filter and feature it/them on your page.
#8. Quote : A Good Life is a Collection of Happy Memories

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.
