Lynn, yes, the forum software is set to require anyone with less than 10 posts to be approved for attaching images (we had some pretty bad spam at one point that prompted that). I just went in and approved your post in Cindy's game, so after a couple more posts, you shouldn't have to have that approval anymore (and gallery comments count as forum posts if you're looking for something easy to get that number up to 10! )

My name is Michelle, and I live in Louisiana. I have a real interest in learning about digital scrapbooking. I have a Silhouette Cameo, Photoshop Elements 8, and don't know how to use either. Haha! I found this group through a fellow Documented Life member. She posted an art journal page using some of your digi products, and it was awesome!

Thanks for having me!

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome Michelle! We're so glad to have you join us! I think you'll love digi scrapping! Be sure to check out our tutorials section where we have lots of great info on getting started! And don't be afraid to start a thread in the forum asking for help if you have something specific that you're trying to figure out!

[foxinsocks]

Hello! I am new and am real I want to participate in the March out of the box challenge and have my page ready to upload!

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome! I've got your settings all fixed up, so jump right in!

Until you reach 10 posts, you may notice that it says that some of your posts with attachments may need to be approved. I try to catch all of those and approve them right away, but if you're getting concerned that I've missed one, please feel free to start a post or send me a PM. I'll get you fixed up! (Also, gallery comments count toward your post total, so that's one way to get 10 easy posts. )

[Lisa Reid]

Hello all. My name is Lisa and I live in Sunny Florida. I am busy with work and family, so scrapping is my "me time" activity. I am a bit of a kit addict though.....I'm guessing I'm not the only one out there with hard drives galore.

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome LIsa! You're all fixed up!!

Thanks for creating and hosting such an amazing and inspirational site. I love digital scrapbooking and I have to say - this is the BEST place for quality materials! So excited to contribute to the forums after YEARS of buying materials from here.

Hi girls! My name is Veronica and I live in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).About 2 years ago I had some problems and I simply can't make any more scrap ...But now the sky is blue again and I'm back! So I started trying to understand what has changed in the scrap world and looking for some designers and right here I found two that I looooove - Rúbia (Studio Basic) and Juliana Kneipp. So I think you will see me a lot here!!!

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome to SSD, Veronica! We're so happy to have you here!

[KeriS]

Hi there!~

I used to be a member here quite a long while ago but, found myself in a rut and stopped scrapping. I've gotten really into photography in the last several months and have all of these images on my external hard drive just waiting to be scrapped and documented for my kids.

Thanks!~

[cindydaisylover]

Hi ,
I 'm Cindy I have found my newest addiction in digital scrapping. I am wife, mother , grandma and just recently a great grandma. My hubby loves to take pics when we go hiking or take weekend trips here and there, so I have lots of stuff to work with. I am new to this type of scrapping but look forward to learning all that I can. Love admiring all the layouts others post.

[Lyd]

Welcome Cindy!! Great to have you here. You'll find so much inspiration and tips here! Can't wait to see your layouts!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Cindy! Welcome! I've got your all fixed up (including the username change that you requested). Please make yourself at home and let us know if you need help with anything!

[mrsashbaugh]

Hello! My name is Mary. I'm a SAHM to my two kiddos. Before being a SAHM I was an elementary teacher. I've lurked around SSD for awhile but just now starting to participate. Hoping I can figure out how to participate in the challenges.

Hi Mary !! Welcome to ssd!

[sastampink]

Wondering how many posts I need to put up before I can edit my spot for the challenges.

[sastampink]

Oops, forgot to introduce myself! I am a SAHM to twin toddlers. I was a paper scrapbooker for many years, then turned into a hard core rubber stamper. Once I had my twins I couldn't get into my studio and turned to other crafts like sewing, needle felting and have recently completely and utterly fallen in love with digital scrapbooking. So far I have completed about 45 pages and I LOVE that I can scrap, watch my girls and not have to worry about my supplies being stolen or destroyed. All I need is my laptop and I am good to go. I print all my pages online but hope to buy a wide format printer one of these days.

I am totally addicted to the Sweet Shoppe and all the amazing high quality collections from all of these talented designers. I come to the forum several times a day for inspiration. My sweet shoppe wish list is a mile long. I just finished my first layout for the April outside the box challenges I am hoping I can stick with it and put that big discount to good use!

Thanks for having me!
Tracey

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome Tracey!

I've just gone in and changed your settings, so you should be able to edit your posts now. You may still find some weirdness until you reach 10 posts (ie it may tell you that any image you post in a forum message needs to be approved). Once you reach 10 posts though, that should resolve itself. You can always comment in the gallery to get your post count up quickly.

So glad to have you join us! Jump right in and make yourself at home!

[sastampink]

Thanks Libby!
I've been attempting to upload my first layout for the april challenges and I wasn't sure what was wrong. Here is post number 6! I will continue to keep commenting in the gallery to bump up my posts.

[Libby Pritchett]

Looks like you should be all set now, Tracey!

I just found your other post in the challenge thread and approved it. Here's a tutorial that might be helpful to you on figuring out how to post your images.

[sastampink]

Sorry to be a bother, I tried loading it that way putting the URLs to the gallery but they don't load the image, just a link to the image.

Also I have a mac, so there is no right click. I can copy the link but it just does the same thing and inserts the link into the post. My settings say this:


Posting Rules
You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments <----- is this the problem?
You may edit your posts

UPDATE:
Never mind! I put my layouts on photo bucket and linked them from there and that worked.

You can set up right click in mouse preferences just so you know

[Libby Pritchett]

Yep, what Meg said.

Also, the url you want to copy is the IMAGE url... not the url to the page. It should end in .jpg

For example, in your gallery, this link takes you to the layout page:

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...ragons&cat=500

But if I right click on the actual image and choose "copy image URL" (in Chrome), then I get this url

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...ons_lo_res.jpg

That's the one I'd want to put in the image box to get it to show up inside the post.

Hope that helps!

[Ksimmonds]

I am having difficulty with the gallery. I can't see how to comment on any layout. I am logged in and see nothing.

[jesskab]

I'm Jess. I'm a wife, student, & mother to 2 boys. I have 2 jobs. Scrapping is my relaxation. I've been with SSD for awhile now. I just recently started the challenges because I have tons of SSD stuff. It's nice to be able to finally use them, and be able to post them.

[Lyd]

Also, Ctrl Click will bring up the right click menu, so even if your mouse doesn't have right click capabilities, you have all the right click options if you use the Ctrl button.

Hope you're getting everything figured out. We're always here to help.

You should be set now. I just needed to change your forum permissions.

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome Jess! So glad to have you joining us in the challenges!

[zakirahzakaria]

Welcome, Jess! Doing the TOTB & Inspiration Corner challenges are a great way to use your stash, for sure. Keep sharing your layouts in the gallery! We love seeing them <3

[theredwren]

Hello everyone! I just signed up to the forums even though I've been a big fan of the Sweet Shoppe for quite a while. I'm mainly a hybrid scrapper - pocket style, but thought I might start to do some larger layouts to learn some new scrapping skills and find a use for a lot of the digi products I seem to have accumulated!
Looking forward to participating,
Renae

[zakirahzakaria]

Welcome Renae! So happy to have you here

We have a dedicated Tutorials page if you'd like to learn new techniques. There's a lot of tutorials there that range from basic to advanced techniques. Don't forget to check it out!
