Hi Kate! Welcome!

[Laura_A]

WELCOME!! Glad to have you here. As for the challenges, it may be a tad overwhelming at 1st, but I promise you will have a blast with them. Like Holly said, just start at the beginning.

Make sure to read the Sweet Rewards FAQ (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/community/showthread.php?t=156) so you know how the points work to get your discount at the end of the month.

Good luck and please jump in with any questions you might have!

Hi Kate! Welcome to SSD :) I'd start with Cookie, you get a free template to add your own touches. Personally I like the recipe, Sweet Inspiration and Scrap w/ The Sugarbabes. :)

Welcome :)

I will try to post often. I have been out of the loop scrapping lately so I am trying to get back in the groove.

Ok so I have a question already about the challenges. I read the rewards FAQ's. But I have a few questions. If I do the color challenge can I combine it with the Neapoliton challenge and use something new from Saturday and get 3 points? Also for the Neapoliton challenge since the start date is 7/30 does your points count toward July or August? Are all the challenges based on when the due dates are and not the start dates? So are there some challenges that started late July for which you can acquire points for August?

Any help here would be great ;)

Welcome to the board!! The scrappers here are amazing!!

[chloe]

Welcome Kate! I have no advice on where to start with the challenges: they all are so amazing that I can't choose which one I prefer! LOL

[chloe]

If I do the color challenge can I combine it with the Neapoliton challenge and use something new from Saturday and get 3 points?

I'm not 100% sure about this, but the color challenge is the only challenge that you can (and actually must) combine with another challenge. I'm sure someone else will be more affirmative and help you out with this!!

Also for the Neapoliton challenge since the start date is 7/30 does your points count toward July or August?Are all the challenges based on when the due dates are and not the start dates? So are there some challenges that started late July for which you can acquire points for August?

All LOs posted now only count for august. During the last week, the challenges can either count for august (if you post the LOs before 8/31) or september. Those are specifically listed in the Challenge Tracker. So that means that, except for the color challenge that must be done within the week after it's posted, you have until the last day of the month to post your LOs and get your sweet rewards!

Oh, and one last thing: those challenges are the most fun and creative ever!!! :thumbup: LOL
