March 2022 - Show Off & Shout Out!

lingovise · Feb 28, 2022

Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers!

Welcome to this month's Show Off & Shout Out companion thread! This is your place to strut your stuff and give some love to the scrappers who inspire you each month including yourself!

Rather than incorporating leaving love into this year's challenges, we decided we'd rather give you a spot to look through the gallery, leave love on your favorite pages, show off the pages you're most proud of creating this month and shout out to scrappers whose layouts really stood out to you! Best of all, we're giving away FREE stuff to say thanks for helping make our community sweet, inspiring, and uplifting too!

Here's how it works...

Claim your spot in this thread each month and before 11:59pm EST on the last day of the month, update your post with the following info...

Links to 15 pages you've left love on!
An image of the layout you want to show off... Tell us why you're proud of creating it and why you love it so much!
An image of a layout from a fellow sweet shopper you want to give a shout out to... Tell us why it inspires you, and what you love about it!

That's it! Just for showing off and shouting out, you'll be entered to win a free kit or mini bundle up to $15 in value from our sweet spot because at the beginning of every month, we'll be choosing winners at random from everyone who left love, showed off their favorite pages or nominated their fellow scrappers to win!

To be clear and concise...

Leave Love on 15 pages - 1 entry for yourself
Show Off - 1 entry for yourself
Shout Out - 1 entry for the scrapper you're giving a shout out to

** Remember that Sugarbabes & SSD Designers are not eligible, so be sure your Shout Outs are for pages created by other community members. **
*Monthly winners will be drawn at random from all entries received.

That's it! We think our community members are the best in digi-land, so we hope you love our new challenges and that you find this monthly thread an uplifting and inspiring way to interact with your fellow scrapper!

Shout Out: My shout out is for this great magazine style page by amyjcaz. Honestly, I can't say enough great things about this page. It really does speak for itself. I would have never thought of such a great layout in a million years. Hopefully someday I'll have the perfect photo to scraplift it.

I'm gonna go with this layout of my youngest son. I was as fascinated as he was at the bitty things to see through the magnifying glass. I love the brown, earthy background and, lately, I'm drawn to using yellows. (I used to dislike yellow, but I've been enjoying it more the past few months.) With the red in my son's shirt and the reflection of that in the magnifying glass frame, I like the touches of red in the layout.

Shout Out
I just love this layout by Claire. The shimmer of the gold foil in the background paper and other touches is just so pretty. (And she let me know that it is indeed her actual wall behind her! Matches so perfectly!) I also love that she did a smallish, central cluster of papers and florals around her picture. The whole thing just makes me smile!

I forgot I had these photos and think they're so sweet! I mixed a bunch of different patterned papers which is not typical for me and I just really like how it came together.

SHOUT OUT
I love all the heart Emily put into this and it's beautiful and emotion filled.

I really like this page from Jennifer. I really like the wooden background on which she played with the textures and the paint and all the adorable little elements with the patterned paper circle that makes pop her cute pictures! Really beautiful layout!

Love the way this turned out, with the flipped template and the large background photo. Pics were taken on a happy day during a dark period.

Shout out:
Hope I'm not too late with my standout... I completely forget last night...

I picked this one by Amyjcaz, because i love the amount of journaling with the paper layers (and how she made them look peeled). The soft colors of the kit are perfect as well, just like the journalingcard she used with the cluster.

I don't make a lot of artsy pages, but these beautiful templates helped considerably and made me feel more confident about making a beautiful page outside of my comfort zone.

Shout Out
I love this page because it documents a fun, but nervous moment I think we can all relate to! The before and after series of photos are just perfect!

There was a few years when just about everything went wrong. Family emergencies, deaths, etc... I was just done. One day broke the dam, and that's this page. After I finished it, I felt it was way too dark, but it said exactly what I wanted it to say. I felt for the first time that I really "GOT" art journaling with this page. I made a companion page when things turned around to cut down on the darkness! LOL

I love notebook templates and I really am pleased that I could use this one to journal about the fun visit we had with my Momma and I just love the colours in this River Rose kit, such a soft and gentle page.

I'm shouting out Dalis for this beautiful page about her Daughter Bianca. I know how proud she is of her and her hockey talents and it just shines through here and the contrast of the b&w photo and the soft pinks and golds is just stunning.

Chose this page mainly because of the stunning kit. I had been waiting patiently for a new spring kit from Kristin and finally she released one! The gorgeous yellow colors scream spring, fresh, fun, bright, and shine. We all could use a ray of sunshine everyday.

Shout out:
I am just in awe of Cynthia's (aka MrsPeel) incredible talent. Just look at those drawings! Her art journal page is stunning and fabulous way to showcase her drawings. Love it to bits!

HeatherB · Mar 2, 2022

Shout Out - I love the b/w cutouts and the speech bubbles. And love all the pieces of word art and word strips. Amazing page from dotcomkari:

Not the best page but I struggled so much with this one. Tried 4 different templates, different kits...So I'm proud I stuck to it and made I page I like. I think it's the colours of the book fronts that threw me off. Used to more muted colours.

Shout out:
Moving the title to the top of the cluster was a great idea. And the different coloured letters connects it down to the rest of the cluster. Plus its a beautiful photo.

I wasn't sure how I was going to scrap this, the moment was so sweet but the photos weren't great (in colour) - when I found this kit in my stash I just had to use it, and I love how it turned out!

I love the clean lines here. It's so visually interesting even with no embellishments.

I'm not too good at selecting my own pages, but this one made my day with all of the people kindly praising, I was gonna go for a very embellished page as that is what I love the most, but it is suppose to be a challenge, I also not keen on scrapping so big photos of myself, but loved how this came together

I also like the neat look of the rows on the template.

Fellow sweet shopper you want to give a shout out to...
This layout by Mrs. Peel is fabulous! Cynthia is so creative and I always admire her work, but this is next level. It truly looks like a magazine cover and she is a worthy covergirl!

I was really happy with the end product of this LO. When I started it I had not intended to make it primarily just the four colors. I actually chose this temple because it had four photo spaces. But as I kept working with it I really liked the effect of just these four colors. I even ended up retaking the photos of the fabric and fibers using only these colors.

Shout out to HeatherH

Loved the black and white with just pops of color and the text flow around the photo. Also loved that she chose a photo of him kneeling which added a different angle.

Show Off - I'm really happy with how my underwater themed layout turned out. I was able to incorporate clustering without taking away too much from the photo which was taken on a snorkeling tour in Mexico.

Shout Out goes to LisaMT for her wonderful Down The Rabbit Hole layout. I love how the checkerboard paper draws the eye to the center. Her OOB photo and clustering with all the themed elements is just wonderful.

becca1976 · Mar 19, 2022

My Show Off...mostly because I just love this kit so much and with Cindy's templates every layout is stunning.

My Shout Out...to iScrap. I absolutely love the lengthy journaling, the tucked elements and the beautiful shadowing! perfection!

My Shout Out...goes to BLACK KATHY. Love this big sketchy background photo with the newsprint blending over the top. The bright pink just pops! Very Cool!

clucaswvu04 · Mar 24, 2022

Feeling late this month with comments - but hopefully will get them all added before the end of the month

Shouting Out:
I really love this page by marnel - the asymmetry of the page really drew my eye to the photos and I loved how they were paper clipped the frame (something I try so often and don't feel like I ever do well - so I always love to see it done so well and she did fantastic). The hexagon shape is super fun on the side and there's so much depth with all the great shadowing.

This is hard. There are SO many awesome pages in the gallery. I am going to give this page by Amie a shout out. Being a dog mom myself, I just feel the love in this page. Saying goodbye to a fur family member is so so hard.

Cristina · Mar 31, 2022

Show off: I've been buried by work this month and this is the only page I managed to squeeze in:

I love the black-and-white stripes background behind the nature notebook and all the butterflies and flowers.
