Cookie & Dessert Exchange Our Cookie Exchange is one of our all-time favorite Christmas traditions at Scrap Girls -- but this year, if it's even possible, Angie has made it EVEN better! She expanded this event to be a Cookie & Dessert Exchange -- and she's promised some fun rewards for everyone who participates! Here's how to be part of our 2023 Cookie & Dessert Exchange: 1. Pull out your favorite cookie and dessert recipes. Pick a favorite cookie recipe or a dessert recipe -- or one of both! 2. Download our 2023 recipe template HERE. Insert your recipe into the template and then scrap-it-up with your favorite holiday artwork to add your personal "flavor" to the design. Save each recipe as a separate JPG. 3. Email your 1200x1800 pixel JPGs to cookieexchange@scrapgirls.com by December 13. On December 15, the exchange begins! You'll receive by email a holiday packet from Angie with all the Scrap Girls' recipes. Besides receiving dozens of festive recipe cards (with fun designs that are every bit "eye candy"), you're sure to find a new recipe to try -- in real life! N E W T H I S Y E A R : Angie will reward everyone who submits a cookie or dessert recipe with a $2 gift card to the Scrap Girls Store. If you submit a cookie recipe AND a dessert recipe, you'll receive a $4 gift card! We all know that Christmas desserts just might be the best part of Christmas, and where else can you feast your eyes upon holiday desserts and cookies -- yet never gain a pound?! Come on in and enjoy some virtually delicious, no-calorie, holiday fun with our 2023 Cookie & Dessert Exchange! Note: You aren't required to use the free template, though if you do, it will be the correct size.

November 23rd to those of you who are celebrating! Post your “Thankful” layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery.

November 22nd Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US, so we want you to create a layout showing something you are thankful for.

November 21st Post your “Levels Tutorial” layout in the Hodge Podge Gallery.

The Challenge Chase Tracker is updated. As always, let me know if I've missed anything or mixed things up.

The upload size is 600x600 pixels. If your image is that size and still won't upload, there is an occasional photoshop bug that doesn't reduce the file size. When I've had that happen, I drop the image into a new file in photoshop and save it as something slightly different and that has always solved the problem for me. If you'd like, you can send your image to forum@scrapgirls.com and I can take a look at it to see what is causing the issue.
