Default March 2011: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

Hey Chicklets!!

Spring is almost here! Thank GOODNESS! Let's get going with a fresh new portfolio for the month! Maybe these prompts will somehow drag the nice weather in with them. Our team really cranked out some amazingly inspirational ideas for you all this month so take a look at the challenges we have below for you and get moving on that portfolio now!

For ease of reference, we've created a printable checklist of this month's portfolio. Click the link below to download and print!

As always, you MUST use primarily Sweet Shoppe products to complete your challenge layouts.

March 2011: Sweet Shoppe Scrapper's Portfolio

One Point Tasks - 20 Primary Points Possible
1 - Lift a layout by Giseli Freitas, our Treat of the Month for March, and get to know her better in this month's special feature.

2 - Nobody knows I...... Share a confession. Write a letter, journal your secrets, your dreams, your wishes. Get creative. Be silly (Nobody knows I eat entire jars of pickles by myself in one sitting!) or Serious (Nobody knows how I feel about... ).

3 - Spring is just around the corner. many of you will participate in the traditional spring cleaning. let's clean up our pages a little for this challenge. scrap a page using only solid papers for a clean slate.

4 - In honour of Dr Seuss's birthday include a rhyme or poem on your layout.

5 - Some people think that 13 is an unlucky number, do you have the luck of the Irish with you? Use thirteen embellishments on your page!

6 - Scrap your weather! So many of us have had record amounts of precipitation this season. Scrap about how the weather has been in your neck of the woods!

7 - Scrap a page about an inanimate object and give it personality. If those ratty yoga pants could talk, what would they say?

8 - Odd numbers are pleasing to the artistic eye so lets do a little odd numbered recipe using the month of March as inspiration. 3 papers, 3 photos and 3 alphas as the starter set for a layout. (Same photo 3 times is fine as are additional elements.)

9 - Use this inspiration to jump start your page. Scrap about something you are proud of accomplishing!

10 - Use frames on your layout to block out patterned papers like this inspiration . Get creative, mix and match frames!

11 - Scraplifting is a great way to find new inspiration, learn new techniques, and push yourself creatively. Here at SSD we just adore our paper 2 digi challenge and will keep bringing you new galleries to be inspired by! Check out Jill Sprout aka Fevvers this month! Lift a layout from her amazing gallery.

12 - Quote inspiration! “A best friend is like a four-leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.” – Sarah Jessica Parker. Create a layout inspired by this quote.

13 - Vintage and lace are hot items right now. In honour of the irish who are known for their exquisite lace work, create a layout featuring something lacey!

14 - One Little Word: Wonder. Scrap a layout featuring the word Wonder in your title.

15 - World math day is in March. Create a layout that features an equation. ex. you + me= happiness

16 - Are you working on those recipe cards? Here's your next round! Create a recipe card featuring your favorite beef (or beef replacement) recipe. Meatloaf, burgers, you name it!

17 - Ad image inspiration! Check out this awesome cover and create a layout inspired by it! The colours, the blocking, the word layout- whatever inspires you!

18 - Check out this cute inspiration Stack some words, journal strips, or sayings on your layout.

19 - Colour Challenge! Spring is on the way (we hope!) Be inspired by this floral image here. Create a layout featuring the bright fun springy fresh colours pink,red, orange, yellow and white.

20 - Scrap a non event. Scrap the ordinary every day. Sometimes we get caught up in getting everything documented and captured, that we forget the simple moments.

Two Point Tasks - 20 Primary Points Possible

21 - Technique Challenge! Try creating a silhouette out of a photo and use it on your layout! Use the shape as an element, or frame it creatively. Feature the resulting image however you chose! Check out this How To guide for tips!

22- In March the color green is everywhere! Let's go green this month in more ways than one. Scrap a layout featuring the color green and how your family/you have become "greener." What changes have you made to go green in your life: use shopping bags, recycle, ride your bike to work? Let's see some green living!

23 - Camera's are the primary tool of our scrapping hobby but we all spend our time behind them. Have a look at these 13 Fun Self Portrait Mirror Shots to inspire you to stay behind the camera and still be in your layout. (hint - If you are still not inspired to be in front of your camera you could use a younger substitute as an aspiring to be you concept - go where your inspiration leads you)

24 - What makes you different, unique, special, or just weird. March to the beat of your own drum! Scrap a page about your uniqueness (or the uniqueness of a friend or loved one).

25 - Everyone has worries and fears. Check out this inspirational little graphic and let it inspire you to scrap about your worries or fears- and how you're going to turn everything around into something amazing.

26 - Positive reinforcement is immensely useful and important. Scrap a page highlighting something you, or someone you love (Friend, family, loved one) is really good at. Even hearing the simplest things like, dear child you do such a great job making your bed every day, can set the tone for an amazing day.

27 - Check out this inspiring art piece. Fill the background of your layout with a handwritten type face font.

28 - Scrap something you believe in. From the silly fairy tales to your kids to the serious religious beliefs. Scrap something that inspires you and you believe in.

29 - Melissa had an awesome photography class challenge recently to find and photograph each letter of the alphabet out in the world. Trees, buildings, metal works- there are letters hidden everywhere. Check out her finished project here. For this challenge we ask you to pick a word (at least 4 letters) and find those letters out and about. Scrap your final product!

30 - What motivates you? What keeps you going each day? What's kept you on task working on those resolutions from January? Scrap and tell us about it! (Be silly or serious! Go where the inspiration leads you! Does coffee motivate you? Does your family? Do you have a photo that keeps you working towards your goals?)

Five Point Tasks - 10 Primary Points Possible

31 - Document your progress. Sometimes being able to look back and see how far you've come is enough motivation to keep going. Scrap 3 layouts- featuring the beginning, middle, and end (even if this is a future result). Scrap about an achievement, weight loss, home improvement, how you worked through a bad situation, or any goal you're reaching for!

32 - Life Lessons 2011 - this year SSD is encouraging you to create a Life's Little Lessons Album! One of the greatest things we can pass along to our loved ones is the stories of lessons we've learned in our own lives, so this year we're challenging you to do a little soul searching and create an album of these little learning experiences. Pick 3 of the 5 topics below and scrap 3 layouts to earn 5 points:

32a - Happiness is a choice. Choose wisely.
32b - Don't be afraid to show your inner glow.
32c - Listen without defending and speak without offending.
32d - Don't let others opinions change who you are.
32e - Shape your own future, or someone else will.

Ten Point Task - 10 Primary Points Possible
33 - If you've been browsing sites like pinterst- you've undoubtedly seen tons of inspiration for amazing wall art lately. The creativity of people astounds me daily. This month we challenge you to create a beautiful hybrid wall art piece. Any occasion, any type, any style.. Let the creativity just flow. Go simple, go intricately detailed.. just GO. CREATE. Andrea & Col whipped together two brand new projects to show off this month as examples of two different project styles.

Andrea's Project
Col's Project

Here are a few other Projects to inspire you!

Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3



Flex Tip - Be Creative! If the challenge is asking for a TOP 10 of your favorite TV shows, feel free to scrap your husband's or child's favorite shows instead! If it's asking a question, feel free to ask the question of a loved one and scrap a page for them instead. The only time this wouldn't apply is to your Book of Me album which should be a stunning tribute to YOU!
___________

DON'T FORGET! As you complete layouts for our challenges, you'll be tracking them yourself in one post that you'll update throughout the month. For March, all layouts and points need to be posted by 11:59pm EST at the end of the day on April 1st. If you're joining us for the first time this month, have a look at the amazing portfolio tracker threads from throughout the year to see how it's done!

1) Post to claim your tracker spot for the month.
2) When you finish a layout for a challenge, upload it to the gallery and right click to get the image information for your layout.
3) Return to your tracker spot you claimed in this thread, and click edit to add the image of your layout to your portfolio. You'll want to add your layout in order of the numbered list above and include that number and the points earned above your image.
4) At the very end of your portfolio, please keep a running tally of the total points earned to date.

PLEASE NOTE: Portfolio points may NOT be carried over into the following month as each month begins anew with a fresh set of inspiring challenges! Additionally, you may NOT use the same layout for more than one numbered task - each task requires a new layout.

Please don't post chatter or comments in this thread as we'd like to keep it clean and easy to check at the end of the month. If you want to give praise to your favorite prompts or layouts, feel free to chatter as much as you like in our General Info & Chatter Forum. Thanks!!

So thankful to have you scrapping with us,

La

As for the 3 alphas, I interpreted them this way: the one alpha that is used on both papers and the two other alphas used in the title. I hope that's okay.



#33 Create wall art.

March 13 - I used the NEW kit "She's All That" by Eva Kipler.

10 points + 1 NR point = 11 points


"Floral Wall Art" can be found in the gallery here:
