February 2011: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

[lauren grier]

Hey Chicklets!!

It's our birthday month here at SSD! We're clicking away into the second month of the year already! Celebrations - and love - are in the air. We've got a great mix of ideas, prompts, and inspiration for you this month (and don't worry, for all my fellow angsty scrappers, it's not all lovey focused!). Take a look at all of the challenges we have for you below, and get started creating a fresh new portfolio for the month 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.

February 2011: Sweet Shoppe Scrapper's Portfolio

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

2 - Photo Challenge: Take a "big picture" shot of what your world looks like right now. Is winter in full effect where you live? Get a shot of your yard or home. Scrap it!

3 - Scrap a layout about your favorite person.. Dig deep in the journaling and tell us why they are so important to you.

4 - In honour of valentine's day.. use the word "SMOOCH" on your layout

5 - Cabin fever starts to hit hard around this time - scrap a getaway you wish to take or just some photos that are left over from the summer months.

6 - Who believes in you? Who supported you when the chips are down? Tell the story of how another person helped you move toward a goal.

7 - February is Great American Pie Month! Create a recipe card featuring your favorite pie recipe.

8 - Bring a little more focus on your title! Check out this photo. Hang or attach your photo in some way. (*hint: clothes pins, tape, brads, buttons, staples are all great ideas*)

9 - Flashback! SSD is celebrating our 5th birthday this month! Scrap a layout featuring a photo or event that took place five years ago. (*hint try a photo-less layout if you don't have images that are 5 years old*)

10 - What's the ONE thing/addiction, love affection you have that MIGHT just overshadow the person you love the most? get funny and silly with this one.....don't take yourself too seriously.

11 - "Why, what's the matter, That you have such a February face, So full of frost, of storm and cloudiness?"~ Shakespeare. Scrap a layout featuring a "February" face.

12 - It's time to raid your digi stash! Check out this inspiration HERE. Pull at least 10 frames onto your layout (*hint* you don't have to put photos in every frame). Don't be afraid to mix and match!

13 - Colour Inspiration! Check out this pile of fabric swatches and create a layout featuring these colours!

14 - We're into the second month of the year. Let's take time to look back and see what we've accomplished while working towards our goals for 2011. Scrap a page about your progress in January.

15 - Much of the northern hemisphere has been completely buried in snow this winter so far & many people living in these parts are dreaming of warmer weather. Use a winter themed kit to scrap a non-winter layout.

16 - Try journaling a little differently. Write your journaling directly on a photo!

17 - With all the mushy valentine and love stuff in February, scrap the opposite... something you don't like or even (such a strong word) HATE.

18 - Stuck in a scrapping rut? How about some inspiration? We love browsing paper scrapping sites- throw your hand at a little Paper to Digi layout lift. Check out Jen Jockisch's Gallery and lift a page that inspires you!

19 - Journal Prompt! I love you more than ____ . Fill in the blank! Scrap about anyone, or anything!

20 - Journaling: Quirky Love List. In honor of Valentine’s Day, make a list of ten quirky little things you love about your spouse or child or someone else. Take photos to illustrate as many of your loved one’s quirks as possible, and scrap your list.

Two Point Tasks - 20 Primary Points Possible

21 - Technique challenge. Scrap a layout with a shape (or shapes) cut out of the background. Like these leaves. Get creative or go simple. Circles, squares, hearts, words.. Check out this simple tutorial page that explains different ways to shadow.

22 - Check out this quilt Create a layout based on this inspiration.

23 - What is your *issue*? What are you passionate about? What cause do you stand behind? Scrap a page about an issue (social, environmental, economical, etc) that is close to your heart.

24 - Paper hearts are very chic right now in dyi home decor. Check out this inspiration and create a page based on the image.

25 - Some of us have a soft spot for fairytales. Write your journaling in the form of a fairytale.

26 - Create a heart mosaic like this on your layout using snipets of your favorite papers.

27 - Take inspiration from the Pullups Potty Dance ad! Take a series of photos & number them. Take it a step further & include little snips of journaling for each photo.

28 - Subway Art is a cool new trend in home decorating. Use Tatertots & Jello's Subway Art Round Up to inspire yourself to create a layout using Subway Art. To earn your points you must use at least 5 different fonts or alphas on your layout.

29 - Heartbreak sucks... but we've all been there. Take some time for some scrap therapy and scrap about some recent heartbreak you've dealt with.

30 - Interview a loved one (friend, family, significant other) ask them what you mean to them. (*hint* you could include questions about what their favorite things about you are, why you are important to them, why they love you, etc*)

Five Point Tasks - 10 Primary Points Possible

31 - Every relationship evolves and changes. Be it with a parent, child, friend, or significant other. Create three layouts capturing the past, present, and (possible) future of any relationship in your life.

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 - sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together
32b - don't be afraid to take that first step, you can't accomplish anything standing still
32c - it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts
32d - the greatest things in life are often the simplest
32e - stop and appreciate every single moment

Ten Point Task - 10 Primary Points Possible
33 -Coupon books are always a sweet cute little gift to give to a loved one. Offer free hugs, to do a loathed chore, or a get out of "jail" (dog house) card. They're a great idea for birthdays, just because, and even for valentine's day! Get creative, get playful and dive in and give hybrid a try while creating a super fun gift for a loved one! Great for kids and significant others alike Here are some examples of different types of coupon books that may inspire you!

Sample #1
Sample #2
Sample #3
Sample #4


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 February, all layouts and points need to be posted by 11:59pm EST at the end of the day on March 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!!

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this month!
