So its the same template but in 2 different ways...is that right?

Exactly. You want to use one template but change it up to create two distinct layouts using 2 different concepts from the left column of our tracker!

Ok, so like, double checking b/c I am also an overthinker, but this means I could spend my summer break catching up on Feb-May (as well as doing Jun-Jul) and then try (and inevitably fail like I do every year) to stay scrapping once school starts back up, and then catch up again over Christmas break, and then just make sure I get January 2027 done on time, and I can be entered?
(This might be the motivation I need for this summer.)
Yep! That's right! You wont earn the monthly rewards, obviously, but if your post in the tracker thread for the year is complete by the deadline you can be entered to win this year's grand prize!

Hi Ashley, I used PixelLab for a few years before moving over to Affinity. I still have it on my phone so am sure I could help you out if you get stuck. I did find the opacity setting and I think you can mirror stuff too. Send me a direct message if you need help.

Omg.!! I'm amazed to find someone that uses/used it. I did find the opacity after some playing. I wasn't thinking and realized I use another way to use opacity was something I do in every layout with the way you do shadows, although I applied it in my titling just to make. It legit lol. I could not figure mirror out but found a way to kind of mirror and crossing my fingers since it does go with the spirit of the prompt.
This month was challenging for me for some reason but the ones I thought were going to stump me weren't the ones that actually did. Haha.

June Challenges look interesting but I am already stumped! What is meant by sequential storytelling?

My take on this... and feel free to correct me... is a story told in parts like beginning, middle, end; or first, next, then, last.
This is usually done in mediums like comic books where each drawn panel shows the next event in a sequence.
But since all of our challenges are open to interpretation, I'm sure you can find a bunch of creative ways to tell a sequential story!

okay dokay, I have printed the June 2026 connect and create jpg. I love this idea to push my scrapping (challenge me). I am probably over thinking (i have priors). What is Topsy Turvy? My first thought was the ponytail tool to bring ponytail thru and make a different kind of ponytail lol
The connect side is more vague and up to our interpretation, right?

Can you use retired kits as long as the designer is still active? I ask because after spending a hour making a page I wen to post and found out that the kit
I used is no longer in the store.

I believe you can as long as the designer is still a SSD designer

This is what I got when I looked it up for my layout:
Topsy-turvy is an adjective and adverb meaning confused, disorganized, or upside down. It describes a situation where the natural order, layout, or routine of things has been unexpectedly disrupted, thrown into chaos, or reversed.

What Natascha said was correct. You can use retired goodies as long as the designer is still selling in our shoppe.
