February 2022 - Show off & Shout Out!

lingovise · Jan 30, 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

*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!

I really love how this one came out. My favorite alphas right now are foil balloon alphas and I was excited that the kit I used had the perfect red and white strings I could use to hold them up.

I adore this page by HeatherH. I just love jampacked pages and her page is full of goodies to look at. Love the butterflies and all of the great photos and the amazing layering.

Being home with a burn-out (or maybe close to it) is one of the worst days in my life, my head exploding (or maybe more imploding) with all the thoughts, made me tired of everything. Creating this page, with the head explosion, was a good scrap therapy and brought a little bit of light.
For the birthday bingo card I picked another page I liked from this month, one that was a bit happier.

Shout out:

Made this my stand out, because I love that awesome photo with those great borders, those clusters frame the view just wonderful.

bienejen · Feb 1, 2022

Shout out - This page by tjscraps stood out to me for many reasons. I love the fun photo, the fab clusters, the bits of paint, the woodgrain background paper... but what gets me is that bold striped paper. I just don't mix bold papers like that into my own layouts, but I love how this works!!! I love finding pages like this that inspire me to try something outside of my comfort zone.

I chose my 11a - best day ever entry, because a) I love the subject and b) I love how happy the page feels and I love that I managed to squeeze in a ton of 'driving' ellies!

Shout Out
I love this by shunnstersgirl, the amazing layered backdrop of colourful hearts really make the happy black and white photos pop. Such a fun way to use the hearts and I really like how different they all are.

So much to love about this page: the amazing edge cluster, the paper layering, the big title, and of course the shadow work. Fantastic page from Cynthia (MrsPeel):

One layout from shunnstergirl
I love the wood background and the fresh colors. The beautiful black and white photo and the flow of the page. The amount of paint and those little hearts. And the string that ties both clusters together. Beautiful!

I'm most proud of this page this month. The challenge completely inspired me, and as soon as the idea came to me, it felt perfect. My two girls are so very different, and I love how I was able to capture not only their different personalities but also their different phases in life and their different talents as well.

Shout out

I love so much about this page by tanyiadeskins. The clean lines of the chevron shapes combined with the perfectly place scribbles, the amazing use of so many patterned papers while still achieving such a clean look to the page, the great title work, the awesome balance to the page -- I love it all!

Show off - I scrapped a photo of my dd from almost ten years ago which made me miss those days and the fun baby stage.

Show Off: This page was one of my favorites for the month. I sort of held off on it for awhile because I wanted it to be just right and reflect the glow of the photos, and I finally was able to make it work out.

Shout Out: I chose this page by LorMW. She's got that rule of thirds down to a tee, and I'm a huge fan of pages that make the photos central. I think the fact that the background paper is the color of her dog's fur yet she kept the photos black and white, just adds to the pop effect. Oh, also kuddos for a great title!

I'm so impressed with Biancka's layout. Here's the comment I left for her:
This is sooo pretty. And interesting. I'm drawn in to take a closer look at the tiny details of your clusters and enjoy exploring them. lol Cool picture repetition, too. :wub:

Show Off:
Okay...I chose this one for various reasons. It just makes me happy.

A layout with all of my guys? Yes, please. lol I love how the colors in the pictures worked so well with the colors in the collection. I blended a few papers to give the background various colors and I like that the messy paints had a heart as part of it. It all just makes me smile.

DivaMom96 · Feb 4, 2022

Shout Out: I have to shout out this layout by justpattyanne. I love the gorgeous wreath she created with her elements! The buttons, hearts, stiches, paint, buttons, flowers - you name, it's there! And all put together so beautifully!! It inspires me to try putting elements together like that.

This LO challenged me to "make a template my own" and I feel like I definitely did that by using a love template in a very non-traditional way.

Shout out
Love this LO by CaroRen - I love pages with lots of photos, and the b/w used here is perfect! Such a fun page!

It's so hard to pick my favorite layout for the month. My favorite is usually the one I just got done making

I picked this one because it includes my favorite subjects and the artsy grungy style pages are my absolute favorite to make. This one came together really fast which is rare for me. I can tell that Val being here at SSD is going to be rough on my wallet!

Shout out

I love this art journal page by cinderella. Such an amazing piece of art. It makes me want to go buy this collection!

This page is one of my favorites this month - I really wasn't sure how I was going to scrap these photos and the challenge helped me embrace them, in the end I loved the layout with the little pops of color and black and white photos

Shout Out
I loved this page by rach3975 so much because it was really inspiring. It really captured the feeling/story of a love for gaming. I love the game screen shots with the great journaling. The elements were really well balanced and added a great touch.

CathQuillScrap · Feb 8, 2022

Super proud of my son who is learning to fly.... this was the day he went solo last year. Though this is the third layout in my gallery it is technically the first one I made for a challenge here so that's why I am showing it off.

Shout out

I am a sucker for cute kitties... and the repeated word title just sings to my paper scrapping heart too.

Scrap-therapy · Feb 10, 2022

#02a.QueenOfMyHeart by MrsPeel because this layout makes me happy each time I saw it, love all the hearts she used and the colors plus the funny picture! Great layout!
