Please post all challenges for August team points in this thread. I will update this OP to add them in as they land. I will also be numbering them as we go. If it makes it easier for you, you can print off this thread at any time and have the most up to date list of challenges. Regular monthly challenges will appear as separate threads as always. I will provide links to those challenges and to this challenge thread in the Master List of Challenges for August. We will be trying to keep traffic on this thread as much as possible to challenges only, and stinkerbelle will be setting up a separate thread to share our creations (pages, cards, other artsy projects), and a third one for Team chat. Before you post a challenge, please read the ones that come before yours in this thread so that we can keep each challenge distinct. Also, please number your challenge as the next one in order from the last posted challenge. When you take on a challenge, remember to scroll down and read it in the challenge poster's own words. This OP will simply list the challenge titles, but may not have all the details. For example, the challenge may be called "Happy Birthday!" but it may ask specifically for a page or a card or a birthday gift. When you share your creations, please let us know the specific challenge(s) you are meeting by name, challenge number, or both. Here we go: August Challenge #1: Splatter It! ( grammadee ) August Challenge #2: Don't Bug Me! ( grammadee ) August Challenge #3: Three's the Charm!

#11 Oh Yeah, Baby! I'm being sentimental because my oldest moves to college in two weeks. I've been thinking about when he was a baby & getting all the feels. This month, lets find a baby to scrapbook. Don't have any kids? grandkids? Then find someone you love and scrapbook them. Claim a point for each layout that is either about a baby or someone you love. #12 Page Maps I love using a PageMap to get started on a layout. Go to the PageMaps website and look through the August sketches and pick one to use! Claim a point once you use a sketch to make a layout this month. Feel free to look at the Card Maps for Aug as well. If you make a card, I will give you a point for that as well! Here is the link for Card Maps.#13 Put a Stampm(or two) on It! I have a ton of stamps, but I never remember to use them! This month, drag out your stamps and add them to a project (a card, a layout, anything goes!).For extra credit, if you use two separate stamp sets on a project, you get 2 points. Three sets? Three points! Drag those stamps and and get them inky!

#14 - Trendy- Remember the trends from years ago? Buttons, ribbon, eyelets, twine, paper tearing and more. Dig it out of your stash and put it on a layout. Maybe look at your older layouts for inspiration. An extra point for you if you post your inspiration piece.
#15 - School Days - First day of school? Last day of school? A special school project or event? Put it on a layout.
#16 - Go Steal It - Go to Pintrest and find a layout for inspiration. Then make it your own. Link us back to Pintrest for the original.
#17 - There's No Place Like Home - Your home now, your home when you were a child, a favorite relative's home. A home renovation or project. Record it in a layout.

#26. Sparkle and Shine...I’m adding this one again to get further past my dislike for glitter. Use glitter Thickers, glitter paper or loose glitter on your page or card.
#27. Add some sequins...to make this a bit more interesting you need to add sequins in more than one color, size or shape. Use large and small, white and pink, flowers and stars, etc just not all the same sequins on your page or card.

#28 Donna Challenge a separate challenge here. Do either a Donna LO or do the equation challenge which this month is, use 3 hearts, 5 stars and something yellow on your creation. Take 1 point if you do the 'equation challenge'. Take 2 points for a Donna LO because it's a special LO so I think it's worthy of 2 points. Every month the equation will change to something different but I wanted to start with hearts for donna , stars because she's up there shining down on us now and yellow because it's a happy colour.

My contributions! 33. It's more fun when we're together! - your photos *and* story must be about more than 1 person here! 34. Feeling Edgy - use a torn paper edge on your page - anywhere! 35. Paper Bag Lunch - kraft paper is underused these days. It's a great neutral! Use it on your layout. But in the spirit of the name of this challenge, you can also get a point for using a glassine bag on your layout, and you get a bonus point if you use a paper bag! 36. Border Security - hey, even our pages need something to hold them in, right? So use INK or OUTLINE most the papers on your layout! 37. Level UP! - use pop dots/foam, or dimensional stickers, but thickers and chipboard and puffy stickers don't count unless you further pop them up. 38. OVERACHIEVER AWARD - 50 bonus points to the people who manage to complete ALL THE CHALLENGES!!! Ima gonna try! 39. Diet Ketchup - Is there such a thing as diet ketchup? Must be a sugar free version, cause I don't recommend reading the nutritional label on ketchup when you are on a diet. It will ruin your fries  Anyway, let's continue to go back and get some bonus points from old challenges, old sketches...BUT...you can only have a point if you've never claimed a point for the challenge before! So no more arrows for me  |
