Do you remember playing the game "I am going on a _____ hunt and bringing..." where each player listed items starting with a specific letter? We are playing a similar game on the Scrap Girls Forum during the month of May. Each day except Sundays, a member of the welcoming committee will post a new theme and starting letter in the game thread (in a large purple font). Members then will search the Scrap Girls Boutique for a product that fits the theme and post it in the game thread. Entries are to follow the alphabet starting with the letter posted with the theme each day. Only one product per letter per round will be counted and products may not be used more than once. Collections and their individual parts count as one product. Time stamps will be used to determine credit in the case of duplicate letter or product posts. There is a limit of three game posts per person each day and another player must post before posting again. Member names will be added to a drawing based on the number of qualified product links posted in the thread.

So why not join the fun for a chance of winning one of five $5.00 Gift Certificates.

Here is an example of how the game works:


I'm going on the London Underground and bringing..... starting with A

The first person starts with A and chooses
I'm going on the London Underground and bringing.....an apple JIF 6: 12x12 A for Apple, designed by Shalae Tippetts,

The second person needs something beginning with B and chooses:
I'm going on the London Underground and bringing.....a bird Birdsong Collection, designed by Angela Blanchard,

The third person needs something beginning with C and chooses:
I'm going on the London Underground and bringing.....a cake B. Sweet Cakes Embellishments, designed by Brandy Murry,

The fourth person continues with D:
I'm going on the London Underground and bringing.....my pet dinosaur Extinct Collection Biggie, designed by Melissa Renfro,

Therefore, I thought it would nice to honor our mothers with our scrapbook pages.

Your challenge is to scrapbook about your mother (or a mother figure).


When you finish your layout, post it to the General Message Board Challenges Gallery.[/size][/color]]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 13:39:06 +0000 http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/59240-monday-challenge-513/ http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/58449-sg-project-life-2013/

SG Project Life is a year-long scrapping challenge. The goal is to stay current scrapping the year.
There is not a set form, you can take daily photos, scrap weekly layouts, monthly layouts or whatever works for you.

SG Project Life is similar to a Project 52 or 365 which are year long challenges of creating 52 weekly layouts (one for each week of the year) or taking 365 photos (a photo a day) and documenting them. We don't want overwhelm anyone with daunting requirements so we simply give you the challenge to document your year then let you approach this project in a way that meets your individual goals.

Here are some typical formats our members have chosen:

One layout for each week of the year (single or double pages)
A double page layout covering two weeks
One layout (single or double paged) per month
A monthly calendar style layout with or without a companion page.
Scrap the significant events from each month-- some months with more pages than others.
Use the new "Pocket Life" products to document your year.

You can choose one of these formats or create your own. The way you go about it is really up to you; however, we do have a few requirements if you wish to participate in the "official" SG Project Life for 2013 and be eligible for the associated prizes.

Requirements:
You must post your layouts to the SG Project Life Gallery in order for them to earn points toward the quarterly drawings and GRAND PRIZE.
You must use RECENT photos in your Project Life pages. This means photos taken in 2013 or within the last 6 months.
You must include at least one layout from each month of 2013 to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE.
If you are a hybrid or traditional scrapper, you are welcome to join the challenge too. Simply post photos or scans of your finished pages.

Prizes:

Quarterly Drawing Prize - Digital Layout Template
Winners will be randomly drawn from members who post layouts to the SG Project Life Gallery. Each layout uploaded to this Gallery earns 1 point, a double page earns 2, with a maximum number of points for a month being 4. You may upload more than 4 layouts if you are catching up, but you will only get 4 points for that month.
You can also earn an extra point for each Project SG Chat you attend. Watch the newsletter for the dates and times.

Grand Prize - $52.00 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate
Each person who completes layouts for the entire year of 2013 (at least one layout for each month of 2013) will be eligilbe for the Grand Prize drawing.

We will also have a special little surprise for those who complete all their layouts for the year by January 15, 2014.]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 12:30:21 +0000 http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/58449-sg-project-life-2013/ http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/59260-whats-new-in-the-boutique/ I'm visiting my sister in Indiana, but guess what?

I know it's a long way off - after last year and changing jobs, I'm not counting on anything being stable ;-). However, I'd like to start the conversation about dates as I've had something crop up that I'd like to pursue the 3rd weekend in October. As of right now, My free (long) weekends in October are 03Oct - 06Oct and 24Oct - 27Oct. The middle two weekends I'm busy.

Any current opinions on the last weekend in October? Did I get the location right? Other ideas people want to chime in?]]> Fri, 17 May 2013 13:02:56 +0000 http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/59105-midwest-meet-up-fall-2013-kansas-city/
