Default April 2020: Passport FAQ


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 : Strength
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 : Free SSD Covid-19 Offerings
Several of our designers have created free Covid-19 scrapping goodies to help you document how you're coping with current events.
If you haven't already, grab them and create a page.










#3. Featured : Jennifer + Christine
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 Jennifer or Christine'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 : A Beautiful Mess
Whether it’s a craft project with your kids, naturally dyed easter eggs or a fun recipe, find something that inspires you on this fantastic and creative website that has a hodgepodge of ideas and scrap about it! Be sure to share what inspired your activity or layout!

#5. List : Create a 7-day Wellness Plan
Visit the inspiring post on EDM Digest for lots of wonderful ideas on how you can create a 7-day wellness plan and terrific ways to implement your new-found ideas.





#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 : Close Quarters
Capture and use photos where your subject is tightly cropped within the frame.

#8. Quote : Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.
You can creatively incorporate quotes into your page as titles, using journal cards or including the quote within your journaling.


#9. Seasonal : National Walking Day
Share a page that features you and your family getting outdoors and enjoying a lovely stroll together.

#10. Typography : Corona Font
Download and use this font on one of your layouts this month.

#11. Wild Card : Scrap anything you'd like for this challenge ♥

#12. Composition : Circular...
Scrap a page with a strong circular design.





#13. Journal : What you're doing to keep yourself & your family well during this trying time.

#14. Currently : Reflecting on...

#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. Pop Culture : April 2020 Top Trending Terms
Social Distancing ... Self-Isolation ... Flattening the Curve ... Pandemic ... Quarantine
Scrap a page that captures how these terms are affecting you and your family.

#17. Details : Doodles ...
Create a page that allows doodling elements to shine.







#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.

Quick question - do I use the Corona font on it's own layout? Or on one of the other prompts?

Hey Claire!
I'm just a scrapper, but I do know that each prompt has to be their own layout.

You can use the font as a title, word strip or even journaling on your layout. But it can't be double-dipped with another challenge.

Good catch, Lynn. I couldn't find one in the free sample tab or browsing through her store.
But if you buy $10 or more through next Thursday, you can get her new FWP


Jennifer is the other featured designer and she does have a freebie in the store
