Okay, I think there is something here for everyone... so let's get busy and get challenged!!!!
Is there a Challenge 20? The reason I am asking this is because I want to start a challenge 20 because I already did the ones from the above list that I wanted to do up to challenge 19. If you have anything that I could do for challenge 20 please let me know or I will think of something thanks!
Hi, being relatively new to all of this, what does the challenges involve and how do you go about publishing it and can I use any of the above?? would like to have fun and give one of them a go. can I do 17 yet or is that for a later challenge?
You can start working on any of the challenges now! Some people have already created scrapblogs for each challenge list above... if you'd like to take a look at what has already been created, simply type the appropriate "challengeXX" in the tag search field...
For instance, to see all of the submissions for Challenge 17, type:
challenge17
in the tag search field. Be sure to omit all spaces... spaces don't work in tags, at all!
Yes, I'll post the deadlines here... The deadline for the 12th challenge is December 12th, so you still have plenty of time! If you have more than one favorite color, feel free to make additional scrapblogs between now and the deadline! :)
bubblee, I have added photos from the start of my parents venture into Australia and onto us siblings to present day. No OLD photos as such were included.
How do I go about starting my very own challenge or is it only for the winners of previous challenges! Please let me know cause I really would like to start one! Thanks in advance! Sherry
If your challenges are not showing up in the lineup, check your TAGS... chances are the tag was typed incorrectly. Remember to omit spaces; spaces are NOT recognized!
To start a new challenge all you'll need to do is add a new thread under the Challenge category in this FORUM, to gather up some interest and to start a discussion. You could also create a scrapblog outlining your challenge idea and/or invite your friends by leaving them a comment explaining the challenge... these are just a few ideas!
The voting for challenge 12 has gone a bit doolally. I think were all being a little silly with our voting. There are just a handfull of us that vote for the challenges, this way we are biased because we tend to vote for our friends. It would be ideal If there was a section on the opening page saying vote for challenge ** and about forthcoming challenges. This way more votes would be casted, and people who don't visit the forum would be aware of the challenges and voting. And votes wouldn't be biased. This way a real winner might be picked!
I love the idea of announcing the voting process on Scrapblog's opening page! This will need to be presented to the Scrapblog team, since it's under their control...
As far as voting goes, I've opened a new thread where we can discuss the voting parameters. I personally don't have a problem with choosing one, two or even three scrapblogs... sometimes it's really hard to select just one!
Also, I can understand wanting to select your best friend's scrapblog over all others... maybe we should try harder to focus on the content/message... this is what the people at Scrapblog seem to do and why their votes seem to level out our votes.
I don't personally vote for my friends, the content, design, colour, setup and descriptions that appeal to me is what I vote on. The way it is set up I don't know who belongs to what until it is opened up, and it is that one that I have opened that I will vote for. (If this makes any sence) I am sure a majority of us out there do exactly the same. May the best scrapper "win".
I agree with Annie that I believe most of us vote for the scrapblogs that they like rather than those of their friends. But maybe if somehow, say, the top 10 could be narrowed down, then it would be easier for everyone on Scrapblog to vote for the "best".
With so many entries, it's mind-boggling to view them all and then actually choose.
How do you narrow it down??....I'm not sure!! Have to think about that!
I want everyone to know that I voted for a lot of other scrapblogs besides my own! I feel that why can't we vote for our own, after all, they're in the challenge as well as everyone else's! We also know the work & everything that went into our own scrapblogs cause we created them! I just feel that a lot of Scrapbloggers don't get their notifications or they don't come here in the forum for whatever reason & it's very hard for a lot of them to keep track of the challenges! Take for instance me, I had lost total power last Thurs. night due to a massive ice storm in our area & just got my power back 2 hours ago, so I wasn't able to do anything here for 4 days! I don't even know who did what, never mind who won challenge 12! I have lots of things to get caught up on here! It would be very nice if Scrapblog could come up with some way to inform us on our profiles about the pending challenges! Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful to have Scrapblog! In fact, I love Scrapblog! I just want to help try to make it better! Let me know what you all think! I would appreciate it very much! Sherry
I mentioned this in another thread... what do you all think about using the content already available here on Scrapblog to come up with a new theme, as a challenge? We already have oodles of stickers and backgrounds at our fingertips... I think it would be fun to use them and mix them up into new themes! What do you all think??? :)
I'm new here and would like to join in on some of the challanges. Is there a current challange or do I go through all the older ones? Maybe a new theme could be new beginnings. That could mean a "New" year, baby, house, married life etc. Just let me know what challange is going on and I'd love to join in.
Hello momto2cherubs (love your user name, btw!)...

We're currently on challenge 13... and the challenges will be done on a monthly basis from now on, so challenge 19 won't be due until this coming summer, possibly? I'm thinking around July? You'll have plenty of time to prepare a scrapblog, I think! Scrapblogs for these challenges can be any length; one page to 100+ pages! Can't wait to see your creation!
Thanks so much for your response little_m. Can't wait to see what people come up with. To see everyone who did it do I just type in challenge13 in the search tag section? Told you I'm new. LOL
Thank you Karen, for the details. I am new to the forum . Ever since , my youngest started kindergarten, I was complaining that I was bored in the mornings, but not anymore ,thanks to scrapblog.I've created a few and I am just as proud as everyone.I also made it my habit to explore other scrapbloggers and I enjoy paying compliments, to the beautiful artwork which I find here .Its so enormous, I just cannot admire only one.
Thanks Jessica for the info! I'm learning fast with the help of the awesome people here.
Karen you have no idea how addicted I am. I think the earliest I went to bed the first few weeks I was here was 2:30 a.m. I'm not kidding! Thank goodness my now 2 year old still naps. Momma was nappin right along side of her.
Man I love this community. I wish the real world was as wonderful as SB world. Hey that's it!!!! We need to take over the world! LOL
Have a great day everyone and thanks again everyone for the tips, and how tos.
Me again. I just went to explore and followed your directions to see the challenge SBs. It came up with this: Oops! We could not find what you're looking for. Check the spelling of your keyword or try a different one.
What am I doing wrong? I even tried with the quote marks just incase that was it.
Hey Lisa! 2:30am???? You're not alone... many of us have been there and done that too!!!! LOL!!! I'm lucky if I get to bed at 1:00pm every single night... it's my new routine, I guess! :)
I am not allowed to stay up that late sadly to make scrapblogs because my ma knows I am addicted to scrapblog! But she wants me to take a break sometimes but I just love to burst out my creation madness! lol!:)
It's 8:24 here and I think my hand is gonna burst from all of this creative madness I've been experiencing!!!! LOL!!!! Look at what you started, Suzie12Susan!!! :)
