Are you getting back into scrapping for the new year? Need a little inspiration? A Cherry On Top is running their 30-30 challenge again this month. I just checked out DAY ONE and already see some page designs I could use. Even if I predominantly do double page LO's, I can usually adapt a single page I like to spread across the two pages, or design a companion page that works with the single page design. In addition, ACOT's daily challenges usually include ideas other than the page designs themselves. And if you run out of inspiration there, there are of course their regular monthly challenges to check out. Off to do some more peaking over there... BTW, I noticed that some of the contributors used Sketch-N-Scrap Sketches and Sketches in Thyme as their inspiration, so I am meandering through those sites as well. |

Thanks, grammadee, you inspired me to finish a layout that I started at a crop last fall. I'm very good at starting layouts away from home, but I can't finish them at the crop unless I'm willing to bring everything I own with me (for the record, I'm not.) I'm finishing up a second layout now. I have a snowstorm and a quiet house today, so I'm playing with my papers until someone has a mini crisis that calls me away. |

thank you! i will be working on this this weekend. do i need to do a layout a day? or could i do a bunch on the weekend? They post a challenge a day on the ACOT site, and it looks like if you want to win prizes there you need to post your creation there by a certain date for a particular challenge. (I think I saw that to win for the 1st or 2nd, you need to post by the 9th). But I just use the challenges there for inspiration and post in the 2 Peas Gallery (or not at all, depending on the page, the lighting, my mood, etc). Would love to see your pages either in the Gallery or linked directly here when you get a chance to create. Last year I was able to keep to my goal of at least one page per day on average by binge creating when I had time so I could go for days on end without crafting. Hoping to do the same this year. |

I have never participated over there, but I think that once you are registered for their forum and their gallery you can participate. I found these Challenge Rules on their forum. I think there are some peas that participate over there, and maybe they can give you some more details. |

Can anyone explain how the challenges work there? i'm confused. Thanks for posting, btw!! I used to work on their challenges...they are all located in the Challenge Forum and the current challenges are labeled January. They have a ton of them so you can just pick whichever ones interest you, upload the layout to the gallery and post a link to the challenge thread. You can also right click over the picture of your layout to copy then paste in the challenge thread - the forum is set up so that you don't have to work with links to do that. Each hostess might have different rules with regards to the types of projects, combining with other challenges and a lot of them have prizes (mostly ACOT gift cards or RAKs). It's a little overwhelming because there's so many but each challenge thread is pretty clear and they are all so nice & will help if you have any questions. I hope this helps...Good luck! |
