August 2019: Passport FAQ

[lingovise]

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 : Routine
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 : 5 Pocket Cards
Scrap a layout using at least 5 pocket cards.
SugarBabe Krista is a master, so check out her gallery for inspiration.






#3. Featured : Christine + Janet
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 Christine or Janet'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 : Rainbows
Scrappers use a rainbow of colors in amazing ways on their pages, so get creative with papers and elements to create a page that uses a rainbow of colors. Here’s some inspiration from our paper scrapbooking friends:






#5. List : Schedule
Scrap a layout featuring a simple list of your or a loved ones daily/weekly schedule.

#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 : Ugly Location
Take the Cozy Clicks Ugly Location Challenge! Scrap your finished photo and share a photo of your ugly location in your tracker post!

#8. Quote : Use the following quote on your page.
Keep Life Simple

#9. Seasonal : National Tell A Joke Day
In honor of National Tell A Joke Day on August 16th, scrap a silly layout that includes a joke or riddle or something that brings your family laughter.

#10. Typography : Block & Script

#13. Journal : Every Single Day

#14. Currently : Doing...

#15. Color : Scrap with this month’s color swatch.
It should be obvious that the page you've created was inspired by the colors featured in the swatch image posted below.
** You don’t necessarily have to use all of the colors shown [use 2, or 3, or all 5] **


#16. Rewind / Flashback : Color Blocking
Color blocking was a massive trend in scrapbook pages of the past and while the trend may have been replaced with pocket scrapbooking, classics like these are still beautiful! Take inspiration from the following examples to create your own color blocked page!






#17. Scrap Stash : Every : Day : Everyday Word Art
Use word art from your stash that includes the words every, day, or everyday!

#18. Scraplift : Hosted on the Blog
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Kim E. 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.
