Sweet Shoppe Summer Getaway 2019 - We Need YOU!
 

Hey chickies!

Some of you may have seen a very special announcement in our newsletter regarding an incredibly sweet event we have in the works for a little later this summer...


As you can see, we want to set off around the world to get to know some of you a little better while pushing ourselves to scrap outside the box in a series of challenges that will earn scrappers loads of sweet treats just for playing along, and we need YOUR help to make this event happen!

We think our community is packed with talented and creative women who love to scrap, love to share, love to be challenged, and definitely LOVE sweet FREE stuff, so we thought this was the perfect way to bring all of those things together in an incredible event that we know will be a blast!

The first step for us is assembling an amazing assortment of creative challenges for our community to participate in later this summer, and that's where YOU come in!

If you want to win a $50 gift certificate to the shoppe by being one of our jetsetting tour guides...

Send an email to challenges@sweetshoppedesigns.com with your name, community username, a little bit about you, where you're from and your challenge idea, but get creative because we're looking for inspiring ideas that capture the heart of locations around the globe!

Think iconic images, locales you love, quotes, tourist traps, local lifestyles or customs, and more when coming up with your challenge, and get specific in describing what you want scrappers to do in their layout for you! Feel free to include images or other visuals if they are pertinent to expressing the idea of your challenge! We want to *see* a little piece of your hometown!

You might be thinking, "Well I don't live in Paris or New York City, nothing happens here", but that's ok... Creativity is key, so even if you're from a small town, you still have a chance to win!

To give you an example, if I were entering to win, here is what I might send as my challenge for Charlotte, NC...

Keep in mind, your challenge idea doesn't have to be extensive or crazy, but it should be thoughtful, detailed and have some heart! We're looking for 6-10 cities to visit this summer, and with a $50 gift certificate on the line for each and every challenge we choose, that's at least $300 in goodies for our lucky hostesses alone!

This event promises to be amazing, so get those entries in by June 30th for your chance to win, and be sure to keep your eyes open later this summer as our 2019 Sweet Shoppe Summer Getaway takes off!

We can't wait to see what you come up with, so put on those thinking caps, and if you have questions, feel free to ask below.

Good luck from all of us!

Well I don't know how to copy/paste gifs on Windows 10 :( I can't add a "thinking cap" gif. So please, just imagine one for now!! :D

This sounds like so much fun. I can't wait to see what destinations we'll be visiting and exploring this summer!!

Looking forward to seeing all the challenges and learning more about some of our members and the places they call home.

When I read this quickly the first time I thought there was an actual SSD trip around the world stopping at SSD ladies' houses. I was wondering if anybody would want to make a stop in Iowa. Then I read a little closer... Still wondering if anybody would want to make a hypothetical stop in Iowa.

How fun is this?!!

I sent in my home :)

This sounds like so much fun! I'll be sending in an idea later today :D

Fun! I sent in my idea.

Just want to say you guys are making our job sooooo hard. SUCH amazing and creative ideas already!

I just sent in my idea!

This sounds like so much fun! I sent in my challenge idea!
Good luck to everyone who entered!

Wouldn't that be fun?! This will be fun, too, and we can all participate!

I have such a hard time thinking about anything. Plus I've only been in Baltimore for a few months. I'm not sure what I can contribute.

But one question that might seem silly. Is anybody traveling for real to meet the hostess or is it all done through the computer? Because I'm so shy I wouldn't participate if it was all really happening.

Hey Leah! It's a "virtual" trip around the world, so send in those entries! It's going to be a blast!

Sounds fun! I'll send in my ideas...

pfeww!! lol

Ok I used my hometown and not the town I live in now for my challenge idea.

Sent my idea in! Such a fun idea! Can't wait to see where we travel later this summer!!!

You've got this, Leah!! I'm currently "homeless" as we are moving....I can't wait to see how you spin this challenge for your location!!!

And yes, that would be awesome if we could have a real meet-up!!!!:thumbup: I'm such an introvert, but it would be SO much fun to say, "I've met so-so from SSD!" :wub:

You can even talk/think about your original birth town in France, Lea!

I sent mine in late last night. I can't wait to see who is chosen. I'm sure there are a lot of amazing ideas!!
