December 2012: Scrapper's Portfolio & Tracker

[Robin Carlton]

Happy Holidays Sweet Shoppers!

Those of you who have been around awhile know that we usually take December off from hosting challenges here at the Sweet Shoppe so that we can take the extra time to spend with our families! This year, our downtime isn's so down because our entire team is hard at work behind the scenes revamping our challenges, blog and tutorials to make 2013 sweeter than ever!

Just because we're taking time away from the challenges though, doesn't mean you have to! Like last year we're excited to offer the opportunity to earn points and discounts in the shoppe all year long, we're just doing things a little differently this month!

So far this year, we've posted a whopping 440 challenges to inspire you and we know there's no way you've done them all! So for December's challenge portfolio, we invite you to earn points for your Sweet Rewards using ANY of the challenges which have been posted at Pinterest from January to November 2012!

Put together your own portfolio and earn points from any of the challenges you'd like! Just like every month, your point goals are as follows...

10 points = 20% discount
20 points = 30% discount
30 points = 40% discount

We do have a few simple rules to keep in mind...

1 - You are welcome to revisit challenges you've done in the past as long as you create a BRAND NEW layout for the task.

2 - As usual, only 10 points of your portfolio can be made up of our 10-point hybrid challenges. The rest of your points can be accumulated using any combination of 1, 2 & 5 point tasks.

3 - New Release and Hybrid Bonus points can be added within the usual limits.

As you put together your portfolio, please use the following format here in your tracker post...

January #16 - Currently... - 1 pt



April #32 - Cut Out Title - 2 pts



October #1 - Hybrid Advent Calendar - 10 pts



Total Points = 13 points

Please do NOT stress over this. This should be a fun and easy going month where you can revisit those challenges you weren't able to get through the first time around. As there is NO WAY for us to check and recheck previous portfolio threads, this month's portfolio is going to be on the honor system, and we know we can trust you to play by the rules listed above.

Most importantly, thanks for making 2012 an amazing and inspiring year here at SSD! We are so grateful to have such an incredible community supporting us day after day, week after week, year after year at this point, and we hope you enjoy sharing your memories with us this month!

Happy Holidays from the entire Sweet Shoppe family,

Robin
