Welcome to the Great Digi Scrap Off 5.0!

Hi everyone! I’m Beth, and I’m thrilled to host Week #1 of our Showstopper Challenge. We’ll be using ONLY PBP’s exclusive littleBiGstories for this challenge; they're little packs that help you scrap the BiG memories of your life. You'll find them here. No other products will be allowed for this challenge.

Here’s your Showstopper Challenge:
  1. Choose an adjective that captures an aspect of your personality. The word must start with the same letter as your first name. If your first name isn't obvious, please state it as well.
  2. Create a layout using this word. Make the first letter BiG (at least 6 inches tall). Decorate this letter to be the focal point of your layout.​
  3. Use at least 10 elements and 3 papers from your selected mini kit. You can use multiple packs if you desire, just be sure to leave proper credit. If you want to use more than 10, that's ok.​
  4. Feel free to decorate the rest of the page however you like. Include photos if you wish, or make it photo-less, as I have done. JUST REMEMBER, the word needs to be the focal point. And only littleBigstories eligible for this challenge. :)
  5. I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind listing the 10 elements you've used, although it's not a requirement. :)
Got questions? Post them here. Let’s get creative and have fun!

I used CarolW Designs, little BiG stories packs: New Dream and Meow Party

My sample layout. I used the word BOLD since my name starts with a "B".:

General Rules
Your pages for each challenge must be new pages in order to qualify for credit. You cannot use SCRAP♥Bingo layouts for GDSO 5.0 layout completion. All GDSO 5.0 layouts must be posted in our GDSO gallery here: The Great Digi Scrap Off https://pickleberrypop.com/forum/media/categories/the-great-digi-scrap-off.1158/ with proper credit given. See our PDF guide!

Specific Rules for Signature Challenges
Use It All Challenge
: You must use ALL and ONLY the items in the mini kit. The 75% PBP Rule does not apply to this challenge. If an element is provided in multiple colors in the mini kit, you only have to use ONE COLOR of that element.
Template Challenge: You must use current PBP Products for your challenge layouts along with the provided template.
Mystery Box Challenge: You must only use the contents of our March 2025 Mystery Box for your layout.
Childhood Wonder Collab Challenge: You must use only our Childhood Wonder Designs. You should have several parts of the collab already, if you have been playing along with us.

BBD Challenge: You can only use our March 2025 BBD products

Weekly Technical and Showstopper Challenges
The Technical and Showstopper challenges must use at least 75% current/active product in the PBP Shop in order to qualify for credit. If you can link to it in our shop, you can use it. Technical and Showstopper Challenges CANNOT be completed using the Use it All Mini Kit, Template or Mystery Box that is given with Signature Challenges.

Each week's three challenges must be completed by the deadline in order to qualify for the weekly participation prize and to be considered for our weekly Star Scrapper Award.

Our Grand Prize will be awarded to one scrapper who completes all 15 challenges by the last week’s deadline. This means even if you don’t finish each week on time, you can still catch up to earn the remaining prizes and qualify for the Grand Prize!

Please start a post in the GDSO Challenge Tracking thread
Keep your post up-to-date with links to the layouts that you’ve completed and uploaded to the GDSO gallery. Please make sure you are linking to your page IN THE GDSO GALLERY, not the thread post in the challenge.

Final deadline for all layouts is April 4 @11:59pm ET. At that time the tracking thread will be locked, the final weekly prizes will be sent, and winners will be contacted by April 7.

@Beth I would like to ask if we can only use littleBiGstories products, or if we can also use other products as long as the majority are from littleBiGstories kits? Thank you for clarifying!

Hi Dorci - this challenge is only LBS products. I've changed the first post to be clear.

Thank you for the fun challenge, Beth! I hope it's okay that I used a big D in the center and rotated the word Devoted. If I need to fix anything, just let me know!

This is beautiful Mary! Thanks for detailing the items you used. I probably should've included that in the instructions. ;) @lm44west there are no credits in your gallery for the kit/s you've used. Please update and respond here so I know when to go leave some love!

Thanks Beth, for this Show Stopper challenge. As far as I know, I only used 10 different elements. I counted twice but you can check me if you want;)

Love how you've blended and used other LBS products to complete this Debbie!
