This is an invitation to all team members to post challenges for themselves and others to meet. Challenges may be added up until 9:00PM MDT Monday June 3rd.
A challenge can be to create something specific (say a card), use a particular element (like cork) or technique (like inking edges), style (say Clean and Simple), product (like Nuvo drops), or fall into a particular theme (like summer).
Please read all challenges above yours to reduce overlaps between them.
Please NUMBER your challenges.
Meeting a challenge earns one point unless you state otherwise in your challenge. Feel free to assign bonus points. (For example, you can give a point for using stars, and a bonus point if they are silver, or if there are more than 5 of them, or...)
Okay, ready, set, GO!

June Challenge #2: GRADS &/or DADS: Create a card or a page for a graduation or for Fathers' Day.
June Challenge #3: brought to you by the letter S! Count a point if any of the elements on your project start with the letter S (could be a manufacturer, a product line, an item, a colour…) or if the letter S appears in your title or greeting. ***NOTE*** S is for Scraps! (and for Summer, and so much more...)
ETA. Yes, every separate star earns a point IF you added it as an embellishment. Starry pp can have a gazillion stars, but it only counts as ONE point per page...

The Donna Challenge: It was this time last year that our beloved pea, Donna, joined in the team challenges even though she was terminally ill with less time than anyone imagined. She managed to get a few points for organization by organizing photos to go on the layouts we sent her.
So for the challenge this month, organize photos for layouts, and choose papers and embellies/stickers to scrap them with, a mini page kit so to speak.
Each group of photos you organize into a page kit, take one point. You also get one point for each layout you do that you have wanted to get scrapped but have been putting it off.

#34: Inspired by PEAS! Every month I am so inspired by what I see in the gallery and I'd love to see what you are inspired by, and encourage us to recognize each other. - For 5 POINTS, choose another pea's layout/card and be inspired by it, whether you lift it, use it as a mood board, make a sketch of it, whatever! But to claim your points you must start a THREAD in the "challenge board" called "INSPIRED BY...<peaname> and link to both their project and yours. - Once you have started a thread this way, you are eligible for part two of this challenge as often as you like. For 10 points, chose someone elses "INSPIRED BY..." thread, and be inspired by one of those 2 layouts (original or new creation), and post your own layout in that thread.
Clear as mud?

Aren't #2 & #8 the same thing? I think there is more detail in #8 (scrap about Dad), and if you can grab an easy point for #2 (scrap Fathers' day) while meeting #8, more power to you! |

Ok one more from me since I got my new 8x6 landscape album & I’m so excited.
#59 Try a new to you size &/or format for your base. If you normally do 12x12 do 6x6 or 8x8 or TN or anything. If you normally use square base switch it up & do rectangle or any shape. If you normally do portrait then do landscape. You can do any base you haven’t done before. Each time you do it this month you get a point even if it’s the same new size, as long as it’s new to you on 6/1

#60 Water— since June is summer for some of us (which means beach and pool days) and winter for others, use something water themed or make a water-themed layout or card. I’m thinking beach, pool, kid’s water play...but it could also be ice or snow...or rain I suppose! Anything that is water related counts—this includes if overall theme is about water or a water related activity or if you use embellishments that have water on them or are made to look like water. 5 extra points if “water” or a form of water (“ice”, “snow”, “pool”, “beach”, “bath”, etc.) is one of the words in the title.

Here’s another (that maybe only applies to me.). I spent way too much in May and I need a daily reminder to not buy more stuff!
#61–USE IT UP—with last month being iNSD, many of us took advantage of sales and stocked up on all kinds of fun stuff. Now we have to use it!
1 point for every day that you don’t make a scrap/card/paper craft related purchase.
This includes online and in-store/in-person purchases. Kits that you’ve already subscribed to don’t count, but signing up for a new subscription does! Necessities—things like adhesives—don’t count either.

ComplicatedLady I love that no shopping challenge because I need it! lol #62 Use any nuvo product - drops, embellishing mousse, paste, etc. KikiPea do we get a point for each letter even if we don't spell June? I wasn't sure when I added this nuvo challenge. If so, I will delete mine.

#64 Tie It Up: Take a point for each piece of ribbon, ric rac, string, twine, wool or rope that you use. You could earn some big points with this challenge if you do a border using lots of cut pieces of ribbon.
