Default Sweet Shoppe Challenge Bingo: April 2016

Sweet Shoppers, 1/4th of the year is history! Can you guys believe it? I can't believe how fast 2016 is already flying by! Did you get blackout last month? If not, another chance to scrap and save is here, so let's get to it! As usual, I have another beautiful card to share with you guys thanks to SugarBabes Juli & Loni, so check out the challenges we came up with for you guys this month and get scrappin!

Our challenge system is mostly the same for 2016, we've just put a little more heart into making each card special! You'll find repeating challenges each month if you're into themed albums or monthly pages and lots more, so read on for all of the details on 2016's Sweet Shoppe Challenge Bingo...

The Low-Down

To play along, check out this month's Bingo card and start planning your strategy for earning the discount you want. Our Bingo challenges are designed to be fairly simple, straightforward and open to interpretation for the most part, so have fun with them! Like always, challenges in quotes indicate a word or phrase which should appear as shown on your layout. Otherwise, remember that as long as you try to scrap in the spirit of the challenge as it's posted, you'll be just fine, but let us know if you have any questions!


This month's Bingo card was created using Easter Bunny by Kristin!

Sweet Rewards

Traditional Bingo: To earn a 20% discount, you'll need to scrap 5 challenges in a row in any direction. The center space may be used to choose another challenge of your choice from the card for a total of 5 layouts...



Pattern Bingo: To earn a 30% discount, you'll need to scrap 9 layouts in one of the following patterns again using the center space to choose a challenge of your choice from elsewhere on the card.

New for 2016: Alternatively, you can scrap any two horizontal or vertical lines, or a combination of one of each, to earn your pattern bingo discount! (Thanks for the suggestion Rachel!) Please Note: The rules for the center space still apply!




Blackout: To earn a 40% discount and be entered to win a $50 gift certificate to the shoppe, you'll need to get blackout and fill in your entire card (we'll let you have the center space free this time)...



Tracking & Earning Discounts

To track your challenges this year, click here to download your own personal bingo card. Once you've completed a challenge, resize your layout to 160 x 160px (which fits perfectly in a bingo square) and put it on the corresponding spot of the challenge on your bingo card!

Save your completed card and post it to this thread by midnight on May 1st, 2016, and our lovely challenge fairy, Lydia, will automatically send you your Sweet Rewards of 20, 30 or 40% off depending on the pattern on your card the second full M-F of every month!

The Nitty Gritty

You must use Sweet Shoppe products for the bulk of your page. Outside templates, minor accents, etc. are perfectly ok as long as at a glance the page is obviously created with products from our shoppe and designers!

Challenges MUST remain where they appear on the card. You MAY NOT scrap 9 layouts of your choice and simply put them in the corresponding pattern to earn a discount.

Obviously due to the size of the layouts on the tracker card, it would be difficult for us to check each challenge in detail to make sure it matches with the challenge, but we know we can count on our amazing community to play by the rules.

More Sweet Stuff

As if all of this weren't sweet enough, I'm excited to share that EVERYONE who posts a bingo card in a month with at least one line complete will be entered to win their choice of a kit from this month's Featured Designers Jady Day Studio & Melissa Bennett! My right arm Libby will choose at least 4 lucky winners at random the field of challenge participants to win these sweet treats which is just awesome!

On that note, I'm going to let you get to work!! If you have any questions, please post them in our 2016 Challenge Bingo FAQ thread so that this tracker thread is easy to view at the end of the month!

Don't forget to keep your eyes open for our Bingo with the Babes threads for weekly challenge inspiration and the opportunity to share some of your favorite challenge layouts in more detail throughout the month!

Happy scrapping!

Robin

p.s. - we'd love to be able to really SEE your tracker cards - so if you can save your photo at 950px wide to photobucket or another offsite image hosting site that allows large images, and share those with us in the thread, that would be awesome!

Here's my finished card. I was really hoping for a blackout this month, but I think I underestimated how crazy April's calendar would be!

UPDATED: I decided to bust my booty and fill this card for blackout because I really wanted that 40% off coupon. Whew!

I came in halfway through the month, but excited to try! Saving my spot.
Here we go...didn't get to black out...but got more pages done in two weeks than in the last two months! Love this bingo challenge!

Alrighty, I did it - black out. But this will be my last Black out, at least for a while because my family is MOVING - eek - from Thailand to Oregon - at the end of MAY and I have not packed yet. EEK - Not sure how much I will be on here next month ( or several months) but Good luck everyone!

I am admitting defeat this month as April was insanely busy at my house. Can't wait to see the new card tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to compete May's card.

The last few months I've started the challenges but not finished enough of them to post. So excited to have finished 2 rows this month!

Hey gals!! Hope everyone is still enjoying the iNSD fun!!

I just send out codes for April's Sweet Rewards, so go check your PMs. Let me know if you have any issues with your codes. Robin is still traveling, so it may take a little longer than usual to get problems sorted out, but we'll definitely get everyone taken care of.

I got mine, and thank you! I have a question, though. I earned 30 percent, but am I to assume that I wouldn't be able to use it today because everything is still on sale for iNSD?

You know . . . that's a good question, and I'm not entirely sure of the answer. I would say that you should probably wait to use your Sweet Rewards until after the iNSD sale has finished . . . just to be safe. Since Robin is traveling, I can't get a quick answer about this, so if you can hold off until tomorrow, that's probably best.
