CYOA - Questions Megathread
Hey chickies!
As requested, here's a thread where you can ask any questions you might have. Two quick clarifications on this month's card... The featured designer challenge should be either Meg Mullens or Tracey Monette. and The TOTB challenge should actually be March 2nd, 2014. We made a last minute edit to the card because the initial spaces weren't square and I'm guessing we used an older draft to make that edit. Though, it's entirely possible that I goofed and updated in my head and with the Babes but didnt update the card. The card has been updated with those edits and we'll note and link the designer's stores in next month's challenges. So sorry for those errors, but we appreciate the patience while we iron out some kinks. Feel free to ask any other questions here. R

We'll be discussing them in our Our Take Tuesday posts with links and inspiration to make sure you're getting to the right place each month <3

Do we need to provide links to all the layouts, or is the tracker image what we should post in the monthly thread?

I think the tracker image is enough to earn rewards, but I will say when you guys link your layouts it makes it easier for us to find them to spotlight and give shout outs to on our socials, blog posts, etc <3

I was sure I read somewhere the answer to this but the #hashtags challenge.... is it open to interpretation or something else?
|
#9
|
||||
|
||||
Putting # on EVERYTHING was a scrap trend for awhile there, so you're welcome to interpret it however you like <3

For the "scrap off-topic" challenge, does that mean taking a themed kit - for example, an autumn kit and scrapping something completely unrelated to autumn?

So, if I did a layout about a child who has a silly sense of humor, to meet this challenge I would include other words that also mean silly: crazy, cheeky, saucy, audacious, fresh, sassy, smart-alecky, mischievous, playful, sly, wily... As Jacinda suggested, you could do word strips all over the layout with those different words. Or, you could use them in a journaling block, bolding each of those words so they stand out. Or you could create a patterned paper for your background with all those words on it. Or use several of them in your title. But the idea is to use multiple words that mean the same (or similar) thing. If you need some help coming up with synonyms, one of my favorite tools is thesaurus.com. And another is Word Hippo's Synonym Finder. Hope that helps! Last edited by angiekey; 01-16-2024 at 09:16 PM. |

Question to clarify if the rule still applies that we can scrap with retired kits (I see there's a prompt!), but they have to be from a current designer. Correct? I read everything I could and didn't see it listed anywhere.

That's totally fine Kylie!

The "Use Your Stash" prompt "Scrap With a Retired Product"...I have a kit that was a collab by DSI and KimB called Soar & Roar that I want to use. I'm not sure if it was ever sold here so I don't know if it's a retired kit. Is it ok to use this kit? Can anyone help??

I'm on mobile so I can't link like many of you, this means that I will have the prompt for the layout and then below that the link. After I do that adding my love will make my spot HUGE in the thread. Is that what I need to do though so that yall can verify my love?

What does the Felt challenge mean?
And Ephemera? just any elements?
__________________

Hey Lea!
So both Felt and Ephemera were HUGE trends over the years! For felt, we're looking for feltie elements, alphas, etc like these... And for ephemera, we're looking for things like these... Think vintage labels, old stamps, torn, crumpled and worn paper, etc.

Hi. I had to "Google" it. Two things seem to work for February... and I'd say go with it either way. This is what I saw: Thu, Feb 8, 2024 ? Tue, Feb 13, 2024 What's carnival all about? Carnival is a festival that happens over a few days, usually just before Lent, in February or March. Because traditionally many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar or other foods and drink, carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time. and Carnival Day is celebrated every year on February 26 and it is the perfect reason to let loose and party. A carnival is the perfect excuse to enjoy a large-scale party with all the trimmings and thrills. One has only to think back to the heady days of childhood to conjure up images of candy floss, amusing sideshows, and rides that give you butterflies. And if you have yet to experience the magic of the carnival, now is as good a time as any!

I remember it said there would be two winners picked each month for completing either 8 challenges or 16 challenges. Were the winners chosen for January and I missed the announcement or will this be done later?
