Thanks for the welcome Libby. I've already started on my bingo card, I'm just going for 20% this time as it's my first challenge.... Only one square to go

Of to browse the gallery for inspiration!

I am an new-old member... signed up in 2012 and even posted a couple of a couple of layouts (my gallery has now doubled because of the challenge system!) I stopped by because I am watching Traci's Creative Live classes. The new challenge system has me totally jazzed!

[Robin Carlton]

Hello everyone! I'm a real person and Im new here ~sort of cause actually I visit often!

[Pantherka]

Hi, I'm new here and a real person too!

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome! So glad both of you are here joining us!

I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to make yourself at home now. You may notice some weird things until you have 10 posts, but those spam filters will left automatically. If you'd like to get those 10 posts as quickly as possible, you can leave some love in the gallery.

Welcome welcome!

[JICCreations]

I'm a real person too. I'm new and am thinking about trying your new bingo challenge.

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi there! I'm so glad you've decided to jump in and try our bingo challenge! I LOVE the new challenge format, so it makes me happy to see everyone enjoying it so much!

I've changed your forum permissions, but again, you may notice weird stuff until you reach 10 posts. It's a spam filter that will automatically go away at that point. If you'd like to get your post count up quickly, you can leave some comments in the gallery.

Welcome to SSD! I hope you'll jump in and make yourself at home!

Hi Everyone. I am Tina and I visit the Shoppe a lot but thought I would join the forum and participate in activities here. Thank you for all you do!

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome Tina! I've changed your forum permissions, so you can now start threads and leave comments in the gallery among other things. You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts because we have spam filters in place. That'll go away automatically after 10 posts though, so the quickest and easiest way to get that post count up is to go leave some comments in the gallery.

So glad you're gonna jump in and join us!

I used to scrap regularly. Then I had 2 babies in 2 years, and all the things I liked to do were put on the back burner. With 4 girls and doing carpool and errands and keeping everything going, I just didn't have the time to scrap anymore. I have recently gone back and looked at layouts I did of my older two girls, and I am so glad that I have those put together. I am now wanting to try and get memories together for the younger two. I hope I can participate here regularly.

[zakirahzakaria]

Welcome! Looking forward to see your new layouts!

Welcome back, Molly! I'm so happy that you're enjoying the new challenges. And yes, Traci's classes really rock. I learned so many tricks and had some aha moments too.

Hi there! So glad to have you joining us! I've changed your settings, so feel free to jump in and make yourself at home. You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts (we have spam filters in place). The quickest way to get that post count up is to leave some love in the gallery!

Welcome!

[dianelouise]

HI, I'm new to the community and I'm a real person!!

I'm an avid paper scrapbooker who recently started printing out digital goods to use in my paper scrapbooking.

I love looking at other people's layouts and never saw a layout I didn't enjoy.

I tried digital scrapbooking a while back but it just wasn't for me, but I am loving all my digi papers!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi Diane!

So glad you've decided to join us! That's awesome that you've been using digi supplies on your paper pages! I'd love to see some of your layouts!

I hope that you will make yourself at home here with us! I've changed your forum permissions, so you can now start threads and leave comments in the gallery among other things. You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts because we have spam filters in place. That'll go away automatically after 10 posts though, so the quickest and easiest way to get that post count up is to go leave some comments in the gallery.

[lbvancura]

Hello! I'm new too... been shopping here for a couple years but love the new bingo challenge. Getting a late start on January but have two down already. Thank you!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi there and welcome! So glad you're joining in our challenges!! I think the bingo system is so fun!

Please feel free to make yourself and home here! I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to settle in a bit. You will probably still notice some strange stuff until you have 10 posts. That's an automatic spam filter that we have in place. If you'd like to reach that 10 posts quickly, you can just leave some comments in the gallery!

Again, welcome! Hope to see you around more!

[Kiana]

Newbie here, to SSD, I've perused the store lots and gotten some freebies (thank you designers) but never joined the community, hmmm? not sure why though....LOL

[Libby Pritchett]

Welcome Kiana! I've changed your forum permissions, so feel free to jump in and make yourself at home! Have you checked out our new challenges?

You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts, but that'll go away automatically. You can always leave some love in the gallery to bump that post count up faster!

Again, we're so glad to have you joining us!

Thanks so much!!! I'm excited about BINGO....not sure if I can get anything done this month, but I'm looking forward to starting fresh in February!!!

[Kiana]

Hmmm? Are there any siggie requirements somewhere??

[Libby Pritchett]

Not that I'm aware of? What are you having trouble with?

[Kiana]

No trouble, just checking before I'm off to make myself one. LOL

[Libby Pritchett]

Oh! LOL Well, I think you should be good to go. I just checked the upload page, and it says this:

The maximum size of your custom image is 450 by 125 pixels or 50.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

If that helps at all.

[Libby Pritchett]

Actually though, most people host their siggies off-site (like photobucket), so the size wouldn't matter.

[Kiana]

Great ... thanks so much!!!

[Kiana]

YAY!!! It worked!

Thanks again

[Libby Pritchett]

Looks beautiful!!

I'm excited to be here. Hoping to add some different pages to our family album this year and thinking the BINGO challenge just might be the way to do it! I've been scrapping since 1997 and digi scrappin' for the past 10 or so years. Looking forward to building my Sweet Shoppe stash of products.

[Robin Carlton]

Welcome Sherilin!! I've got you all fixed up so you should be able to jump in and post freely now! Can't wait to see you get involved with our bingo challenges this month - Feb's card is pretty fun!

[ScrapperMel]

Hello! Been stopping by for a while reading the blog and looking through the gallery for inspiration. I love the new Bingo challenge system and thought I would give it a try.

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi there! So glad you decided to join us! I love our Bingo challenges, so I'm super excited that you want to play along!

I've changed your forum permissions, but you still may notice a few weird things until you reach 10 posts. If you'd like to bump that number up quickly, you can leave some love in the gallery.

Welcome to SSD!

[craftytam]

Hi! I'm new here...I've been browsing the gallery for a while and picked up some freebies. I'm looking forward to getting to know people

Thank you so much, Libby! I am excited to try some of the challenges!

[olivesparrow]

Hi there! I am new to SSD =) I took a break from scrapping for a few years but now have more spare time since my eldest turned 3 recently and started kindy so back to scrapping! Previously hung out at another large store and did their challenges but their design team has change a lot in the time I've been gone so needed a new home and here I am =)

Quick question (if its ok to ask here) - can I create layouts using products that are no longer in the store or have never been in the store but are still by a designer here? (i.e I have A LOT of Flerg's kits from years ago that I'd love to use) Thanks!

[carrie1977]

Welcome to SSD!!

I'm pretty sure that as long as you are using a kit by a current designer then you are ok to post your layouts. I'm sure that Libby will answer that question for you. Can't wait to see what you create!!

[Libby Pritchett]

Hi there! So glad to have you joining us!

Carrie is absolutely right. As long as the kit is by a current designer, you can use it. It doesn't matter where you got it, if it's retired or no longer available, if it was a freebie, etc. So, you're welcome to use anything that you have by Flergs!

If you have any other questions, just let us know! I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to jump in and make yourself comfortable now!

[olivesparrow]

Thanks very much for the welcomes and thanks for clarifying that for me Libby =)

[valinda]

Hello, I am new to the forum. My name is Vanessa and I live in the UK.

[elwaechter]

Guess I should jump in here and claim to be a real person. I have posted a couple of times and uploaded some pictures - absolutely love the Bingo Challenge!! I am still feeling my way through the forum (as well as digital scrapping, so real newbie all around) and failed to place some of the pictures into the Bingo gallery category. I'm guessing I can't edit because of my status. Will that appear magically when I prove I'm for real?

You have to get to 10 or 15 posts, I believe, before you can do more. Welcome to SSD!

I'm sure once Libby checks in she will change your permissions for you.

Hi there!

Yes, we have some spam filters in place that make things a little tough to navigate until you have 10 posts. I've changed your permissions, so that should give you a little more freedom. If you want to get that post count up quickly though so that those restrictions will drop off, the quickest and easiest way is just to leave some comments in the gallery (now that I've changed your permissions, you should be able to do that!)

Welcome to SSD! So glad you're going to playing along in the challenges with us!
