Anyone else slacking with Sweet Rewards pts this month?

[Sarah8914]

I'm also ashamed! Last month I easily got the 40% coupon. The last two months actually! And this month... I don't even have 10 points! I was out of town for a week and that really threw me off... and now I am just unmotivated. It's kind of sad! Please tell me I'm not alone. There are other people that have bad months too right?!?

[scrappychic]

You're not alone Sarah. I only have a measley 7, or is it 5? Not even bothering to track since it's so sad.

[ajf9597]

I was like that last month, this month I seem to have gotten my groove back.

[Punkie Pie Designs]

Well, I just decided to do the challenges for the first time but it was just a week or so ago! I am waaaaaaay behind! Maybe I should be realistic and shoot for next month

[ColleenSwerb]

I've gotten 40% for like 6 months, and right now I only have 16. I do have some of the cards printed and jsut needing finishing off. But still. I'm gonn ahave to bust my butt this week to get things done.

Thankfully, Jordan is going to be gone for a few days. So I can scrap all I want! LOL!

[mrsmbm]

I would love to do sweet rewards every month, but it got to be so overwhelming for me, and almost stressful (crazy, I know!) that I decided to do them every other month. I still get 40%, just not every month. So I'm gearing up to go all out scrap-happy in July, since I took June off.

[Sarah8914]

That's a good idea. The thing that made it not so stressful for me was that I needed to make layouts for my teams anyway... so it gives me the extra inspiration.

I haven't used all the stuff I bought last time... so you know. I'd like to use it before buying more, but I've already failed at that.

[Nathalie]

I decided to try again after being abcent for many months but this month has been so busy for me that I only have 4 points. But I have to say that I am not hunting to get the rewards, just enjoying doing layouts. As a designer I nearly didn't scrap anymore and promised myself to get into layouts again.

So I am not really upset that I won't get the rewards, maybe another month.

[my4boys]

I seriously think I have 1 point .......I get the LAME-O award for this month for sure!!!

[Paula]

Umm... nope sorry, not lacking in the points department.

[Becca Bonneville]

Yeah I long had my points this time last month. But we've been between households with hubby's new job and trying to find a place to live, etc. I will still get something but not the 40%!

[tuneskids]

amazingly, I have 11 points. lmao I haven't even really attempted the challenges this month, if I feel them, great, if not, oh well.

You hush. You're a machine. You're ridiculous.

[meganmecrazy]

I'm not lacking this month but there are times that I get in a funk and just have no motivation! It happens! But just think, you'll be all nice and refreshed for a new month soon!! <<HUGS>>

[newfiemountiewife]

Between figuring out when we're moving, etc, the kids finishing up school, work being crazy, working on some new projects, I've barely had time to do my CT stuff, never mind the challenges. I suck the past couple of months. I really hope everything calms down over here soon, so I can get back into it.

[junebug]

yep, i'm behind too, after getting my 40% off easily the last two months. I'm having trouble being inspired by the challenges this time around. Plus i've been trying to play catch up with my CT LO's too. So a lot of my layouts are not for challenges. i havent' given up yet! the tracker says i have 17, but i've done a few and think i may have 21? not sure yet.

[SamaraGugler]

I'm up to 24 and half of those points have been in the last two days. I'm bound and determined to reach 30!!!!

I'm in the exact same position!

[ColleenSwerb]

Ladies, don't forget that you can make LO's for challenges that fullfill other CT requirements. They might only be 1 point, but it's 1 point you didn't have before

[stayawake]

I took lat month "off" but even though I'm scrapping as much as I can, I only have 10 points. I was really really hoping for 20, but it's just not going to happen.

[MelindaH]

I don't fully understand the Sweet Rewards program yet ... I'm a newbie. I think I have 1-2 points, maybe? I did two of the Cookie Decorating 101 challenges. Maybe next month I'll try to start from the beginning and do what I can. For challenges do you have to use all SSD products?

~Melinda

[Paula]

No, you don't have to use all SSD products, but you get another point if you use a new product released during the week you post your LO!

[Sarah8914]

The Sweet rewards program is awesome Melinda! Definitely check it out next month!

[Kimberly's Mommy]

I only need 7 more points to get my 40% off and I should have had that done this past weekend but I had such a creative block going. Hopefully I can get the rest of it done this week.

[Stacey42]

Much to my shock and amazement I reached 30 points over the weekend. Considering I spent nearly every waking moment last week reading, I'm not entirely sure how I managed it.

[nun69]

I havent been around for the last couple of months so I am trying to catch up this month...I SO MISS all the challenges here and so far I think I have around 20 points so I am gonna bust but and see if I can finish by the end of the month! and I agree..PAULA IS A MACHINE!!!....

[nonnie]

I am such a slacker this month!!! I have like 14 points - It's the sun and the beach they are calling me! I'm going to try to get some more points in......

ETA - ok - I only have 9 points!!! Ha I don't think I'm getting my 40% this month!!!

[mummytothree]

It's definitely been harder for me this month. We have been gone that last couple weekends and it seems like I spend the few days before the trip getting ready and then the few days after the trip recuperating and that only leaves about 1 day to scrap!!! I think I have about 25 points so I should be able to reach 40%, but it's much later this month then it has been in past months!!!

This might help, it includes an FAQ: https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/c...splay.php?f=31

She also keep a list of the current challenges, which is super helpful!

[FireWolf]

I started off this month with a bang, but then didn't scrap a thing for almost 2weeks. I only need 5 more points now and I actually even have to layouts ready and waiting for pics, but with the GeoCaching event last weekend and the 3-day Heavy Metal festival this weekend I just haven't had the time to go into the other room to turn on the server so I can hunt for photos...so so sad...hopefully I can get them done tomorrow since Dh has class tomorrow night so I'm home for a good 18 hours...ALONE!

[gracielou]

I am waaaay behind this month! I only have like 10 or so points but I will be working double hard to get to 25 before the month is over. I have only been home like 2 weeks this month so that is killing me and we have also been moving for what feels like the last 3 months. Summer is crazy at our house. My husband is a teacher so he is home in the summer and we travel for most of it! I will be glad to get settled and back in a normal routine!!!!
