Sweet Shoppe Challenge Bingo: February 2016
Happy 10th Anniversary Sweet Shoppers!!
Can you believe we've been doing this for 10 years?! From nearly the beginning we've had a challenge system of some sort here at SSD and I think Bingo is one of my favorite EVER! I have another beautiful card to share with you guys thanks to SugarBabes Juli & Loni, and I know you're eager to get started this month, so I'll stop babbling and just say thanks for an awesome 10 years! 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! https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...challenges.jpg This month's Bingo card was created using Corny Kinda Love by Amanda & Meg! 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... https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...horizontal.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...0-diagonal.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...0-vertical.jpg 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! https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...bingo-30-x.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...o-30-quilt.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...go-30-plus.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...o-30-frame.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...30-diamond.jpg https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...30-corners.jpg 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)... https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/b...0-blackout.jpg 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 February 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 Alice, Blagovesta or Two Tiny Turtles! At least 4 lucky winners will be chosen from 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 10th Anniversary Sweet Shoppers! Thanks for a decade of making sweet memories! 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! |

Bingo! I did the whole thing. Not too shabby for a newbie, right? LOL! Thanks for all the great challenges and all the great freebies. That really helped get me going!

My first bingo! Hopefully this card isn't too small to see. I'm still learning the ropes around here, not sure how to get a larger image with the upload size limit.

I thought I had the place bagsied :) but it turns out I hadn't, so here is my finished card this month! Hooray!

OK, that was the HARDEST one for me yet - and I had one that I ended up not using for what I intended, so I stuck it in the middle for good measure.

First time I've managed to achieve my target for a long while. Kudos to those that manage them all!

I DID IT!!! My second Bingo, my first blackout. Whew, it was hard, too! It's funny b/c I spent soooo much money this month on new kits and I ended up using freebies for a LOT of these layouts. More kits for next month's, right? Lots of fun - looking forward to March.

I tried for blackout but didn't quite get there in time, but happy with how much I managed to scrap this month (more than I normally would!). Thanks for the fun challenges, there were several that had me out of my comfort zone. :)
https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...challenges.jpg |
I did my best! (Hopefully this isn't too late to post here). This was my first real time doing the Bingo Challenges! Hopefully for March I'll be able to finish more layouts!
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...ps9zysoyy5.jpg |
Just under the wire, I think! Not quite the blackout I was going for, but closer than I thought I would manage! I'm still proud of how much I was able to get scrapped, given how crazy our schedule has been lately!

Okay gals. Sorry I was late getting the Sweet Rewards codes sent out. I meant to do it yesterday, but I had a super busy day and it slipped my mind. That's what happens when the government steals one hour of your life. Lol.
Anyway, I just sent out codes, so check your PMs and let me know if you have any problems. Happy shopping!!! |
Also - loribobori - your code is coming. We need to fix up your forum permissions so that you can receive PMs. I'll get your code sent as soon as we have that straightened out.
|
Thank you Lydia. I recieved mine! <3
|
Got it and spent it already! Lol! Thank you Lydia!
