New to our Community?

Yep! You'll probably notice that til you have 10 posts, but you can get those 10 posts super quickly by leaving comments in the gallery. :) We just had an insane number of spammers, so we had to take some extra precautions to keep them from flooding our forums.
 
I'm new here too!! I have the same problem as hslater, but now I know how to solve it!! ;)
just off to leave some love at the gallery!!
 
Awesome! Looks like you should both be good to go with no more "approval" issues when you post! Just holler if you need anything else! Welcome to SSD!
 
Hi there! So glad you decided to come out of the shadows and join us! I changed your account settings, so feel free to jump in and make yourself at home!
 
Hi everyone! I did a lot of scrapping in 2009 and 2010, but then life happened and I didn't scrap at all since then. :( Now I'm getting back into the hobby, so I came back to my favorite store. :) I have a lot of OLD Sweet Shoppe products I need to use lol but there's so much fun new stuff too! I'm excited to participate in the challenges!
 
So glad you're back to scrapping and that you decided to come join us! How fun that you still have a lot of old SSD products! Feel free to jump in and join the fun!
 
Welcome! We have some spam filters in place, but I've changed your settings now, so you should be able to do a little more around here. :) You may notice things are still a little wonky til you have 10 posts, but you can get those quickly by leaving a little love in the gallery.

So glad to have you joining us!
 
Hi everyone! I'm Katie from FL and new to the forums here at SSD. I was trying to leave some gallery love to get my posts up, but it seems that I am restricted from doing that as well. I look forward to checking out all the lovely LOs here at SSD!
 
Hi my name is Jenni. I love scrap booking and preserving memories.It is very important to my mom, and now important to me :)
 
Hi Jenni! So glad to have you joining us! I've changed your permissions, so you can feel free to make yourself at home! You may notice some strange stuff (like your posts having to be approved if you try to post a link or an image), but once you have 10 posts, that should go away. The quickest and easiest way to get those posts is to leave love in the gallery.

Welcome! :)
 
I'm a real person too! I have been a member here at the Sweet Shoppe for years, but I've just stuck to shopping in the store and uploading to / viewing the gallery. Though I have been digi scrapping for years, I have only recently decided to become a 100% Digital Scrapper and because of that I am looking to expand my participation and hope to be able to join in challenges and discussions in hopes of doubling the inspiration and more importantly, doubling the fun! :)

Hi Jenn! So glad you decided to jump in and be more involved! You're just in time for our big Summer Shadowbox contest kicking off on Friday! Perfect timing!! :)
 
Hi.
I'm a real person :)
Also I'm new to the forum and quite the novice when it comes to digital scrapbooking. I have been paper scrapping since 2001, but it has gradually evolved from simple layouts to more decorated ones.

I stumbled across SSD about a year ago and have been scrapping my heart out ever since. I figured it was time to join the fun in here and be a part of an awesome community.
 
Hi Christine!

So glad you're joining us! I've got your permissions changed, so feel free to jump in and get involved! You may notice some weird stuff until you have 10 posts (for example, if you try to insert an image, it'll probably tell you that your post needs to be approved). We have some spam filters in place, and that will go away once you have 10 posts. The quickest & easiest way to get your post count up is to leave some love in the gallery. :)

Welcome!
 
Thank you Libby.
Is there a thread for newbies somewhere, with info about how to post pictures in the right size and such?
 
Hi Christine! We have a section on getting started in our tutorial section. That might help you with some of your questions, but if you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask!

Here's a link to the getting started section:
https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/tutorials/index.php/category/getting-started/

As far as the right size for posting... 700x700px is the preferred size for your layouts, and our gallery has a max of 250kb file size. Hope that helps!!
 
Time's a going!

I'm oh so new, but have watched from afar for many moons. Would love to participate in your Summer Shadowbox! Unfortunately, midnight is creeping up.:blink:
 
I'm new and kinda frustrated that I can't figure out how to comment in the gallery... I'm hoping it's related to the permissions issue. I was trying to post praise to get myself past the ten post limit, but no dice! In any case, I'm playing along with the shadowbox challenge and excited to really be able to participate.
 
Howdy! I'm AmberMcB from Houston, TX. I'm just now getting active here. I was looking into what SSD product I already have to build on for the Shadowbox Challenge and it seems I've been a member for almost 3 years!! How did I never get active before??!

Saving files at 700x700 will take awhile to become natural, but other than that I'm excited to play along. Thanks!!!
 
Hi - I'm fairly new - just a few months and I can't seem to post my layout for August 1 in the thread for the shadowbox challenge. Can you help me?
 
Hi! My name is Alyna and I am new to the forum here (definitely not new to the amazing shoppe!). I am going to try to participate with the Summer Shadowbox challenges, at least as much as my three kids and husband will let me! :p
 
Oh! And on a related note... is there a 12 character limit on usernames? I would normally have an "l" at the end of my username (shunnstergirl), but it wouldn't let me enter any more characters while I was registering. Is there any way to get that added?
