May 2023 - This or That?

Hello-Hello Sweet Shoppers!

We're thrilled to have you all here helping to make our second year of our This or That? challenges so inspiring! We look forward to sharing in all of your creative endeavors throughout this month!

Every month we present you with 15 challenges that give you options on which path you want to complete to earn your Sweet Rewards! You can choose this challenge or that challenge, it's entirely up to you on which prompt is more to your liking, and like we always do... we encourage you to think outside the box to put your own creative and unique spin on each challenge to make it work for your photos and memories!

And without further ado, I give you this month's tracker created with one of our fantastic iNSD Collabs from 2022 created by our team of designers. You'll be using this fabulous image to keep track of the layouts you complete to earn your Sweet Rewards. So right-click and save the image below to edit as you complete your challenges throughout the month...

A 120x120px image should fit perfectly in the tracker above, so when you complete a layout for one of our 15 challenges, simply resize your layout to fit and pop it into your tracker, simple as that!

As a friendly reminder.... pages created for our This or That? challenges should be created primarily with Sweet Shoppe products meaning that at a glance they are OBVIOUSLY made with products purchased from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Small touches or outside templates are absolutely fine!

I know you're eager to see this month's challenge options, so let's get on with the show...

Whew! So many fun options, don't you think? One of my absolute favorite aspects of this new system is that we get to show off a heap of inspiring pages from our talented SugarBabes too! As you can see, each of them put their own spin on the option they chose, be it interpreting the challenge literally or thinking a bit more outside the box. So... like I mentioned earlier, get creative and most importantly, have fun! We aren't ever looking to disqualify someone from their chance to earn rewards or win sweet stuff, so if you think a page you're creating fits the challenge, go for it!

Speaking of Sweet Rewards and FREE stuff... like our previous challenge systems, the more you scrap, the sweeter your rewards and the better chance you have to win sweet stuff too! Like our passport challenges, you can choose your favorite This or That? challenges in ANY order, anywhere you like on the tracker, to reach our monthly reward tiers!

** Also note that there is NO double dipping allowed on This or That challenges. Each option prompt requires a unique page to qualify. **

Once you've finished your challenges simply upload your FULL SIZE completed tracker so that we can see your 1150px wide image in its full glory. The deadline for participating is 11:59pm EST on May 31st, 2022. Please also be sure to include a separate, direct clickable link to this image so that our challenge team can easily access it, ensuring that your Sweet Rewards can be automatically sent to you by our Challenge Fairy Vanessa.

Please do not link your completed image tracker card to sites like Facebook or Pinterest, these can sometimes be private accounts and we may not be able to see them - if we can't see/access your tracker card we cannot issue Sweet Rewards.

** If you're not sure of the best way to include your tracker image please refer to our How To: Link Images Easily with IMGUR tutorial [the steps featured will also work basically the same for Flickr as well] on using outside image hosts. **

If you have trouble including the image tracker, a list of the challenges you’ve completed with direct links to those layouts in our gallery would also work.
You’ll want to make sure you’re doing one of these two things to make sure we don’t miss any of the challenges you have completed.

5 challenges complete = 20% Sweet Rewards
10 challenges complete = 30% Sweet Rewards
ALL 15 challenges complete = 40% Sweet Rewards + a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the shoppe!

Please Note: Sweet Rewards are sent out during the second FULL M-F week of the following month!

In addition to our monthly $50 grand prize winner, we'll also choose a couple of winners from scrappers who participate in our companion Show Off & Shout Out thread! Leave love, show off the page you're most proud of creating each month, or give a shout out to pages other scrappers have created that inspired you, and you could earn free stuff! Check out those details and jump into the fun... it's a great way to help make our community sweet & supportive!

Whew! I think that's it for this month! We hope you the challenges this month will inspire you to jump into the fun and sweeten your stash in the months to come! Just 15 pages a month is an easy and inspiring way to get those pages scrapped and earn fantastic discounts on the sweetest stuff in town too!

Have Fun and Happy Scrappin' !
