Challenge Me

Posted on June 13, 2013 by helptheold

I’m not sure what kind of crazy juice my kids drank this morning but it’s been less than 24 hours since school ended & I want them back in! You know your kids are crazy when the nurse at the doctor’s office wonders what they got into. LOL! Thinking I’m going to need to get everything done while they are asleep but I’m getting challenges done no matter what, take a look at what’s going on this week!

Our designers make some amazing layouts & the Scraplift a Designer Challenge is a way to get some great inspiration. This month, Andrea of Scraps by Andrea has chosen the layout Happy Birthday by Kimberly of Leaving a Legacy Designs for us to scraplift. Head on over to the gallery to take a peek at the layout & post your interpretation in the June 2013 Scraplift a Designer Challenge thread to earn your points. On the left is Pizza Set by Chicka using Pizza Please by MDK Scraps; on the right is Easter by Blake using Happy Together by MDK Scraps.

A great way to see how layouts can turn out so different from the same set of instructions is the Recipe Challenge. This month’s recipe comes from Becky of B2N2 Scraps is as follows: (a) 1, 3, 5, or 7 photos; (b) 2, 4, 6 or 8 papers; (c.) 5, 10 or 15 unique elements; (d) 1, 3 or 5 word title; and (e) 2, 4 or 6 lines of journaling. Remember that you need to include all the recipe elements in your layout; check out the June 2013 Recipe Challenge thread & see how everyone else interpreted the recipe. On the left is Camping by khannen using Dust of Snow by Scraps by Missy; on the right is Beauty by lwyant using Spring Breeze by HD Creations.

Find yourself using the same font over & over & over? It’s not a bad thing but it’s always good to try out some new fonts & if you participate in the Font Challenge, you’ll get a chance to play with a font that you might never have seen before. For June, Kimberly of Leaving a Legacy Designs has chosen Mighty Mite. Head over to the June 2013 Font Challenge to download the font & get started. On the left is Strassbourg by gyurgyik using Man Oh Man! by Leaving a Legacy Designs; on the right is Wyatt by KatherineWoodin using Poolside by Growing Pains Scrapped.

The Challenge of the Week runs until Saturday, June 15th & this week we are challenged to put a QR code on our layout! See the thread for instructions & post your layouts by Saturday night to earn your points; remember that to earn the bonus points, you need to complete all the COW’s for the current month. On the left is Brookfield Zoo by babyyaks using A Day at the Zoo by Growing Pain Scrapped; on the right is Father’s Day by mdkscrapper using Hey, Handsome! by Ponytails Designs.

Don’t forget there will be a speed scrap on Sunday, June 16th at 5 PM PST / 6 PM MST / 7 PM CST / 8 PM EST & will be hosted by a CT member from Adriana’s Cafe.

The Fine Print: You’ll earn points on almost all of the challenges & when you reach 500 points, you’ll receive a $5.00 gift card to the Stuff to Scrap store to purchase anything that catches your fancy. Points roll over from month to month & do not expire! Please remember that to earn any extra bonus points, you must state in your challenge post that you’ve used 90% or more current STS products or you will not earn the bonus points. There is no double dipping with challenges, i.e. you cannot use a layout made for a speed scrap for one of the monthly challenges or use one layout for two challenges. The only exception is a double page layout where each side is for a different challenge. The use of quick pages for challenge layouts are not allowed, all layouts must be made from scratch or with a template. You are welcome to make a post in the June 2013 Challenge Round-up thread to keep track of all the challenges & points you’ve earned. As always, any layouts featured in this post are linked to the gallery for easy love leaving.
