You leave love on 15 layouts in the gallery and then post the link to each in your tracker thread.

First click on the image and then right click and save as a .png file.


#14: Participate in the SSD Blog Scraplift posted on ...OOPS...
I've got the date wrong on the card for this month... BUT
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Kim B. hosts a Scraplift challenge on the SSD Blog.
You have the entire month to play along and complete your page.

#17: Acrostic Poem...
An acrostic poem is a type of poetry where the first, last or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase. The most common and simple form of an acrostic poem is where the first letters of each line spell out the word or phrase. Just have fun with this one and don't overthink it ♥
Here are a couple of examples :
Ice Cream
I love every flavor.
Cookies & Cream.
English Toffee.

Chocolate Chip.
Rocky Road.
Even Strawberry and
Almond Fudge.
Mmmmmmmm.

William
Worthy, your friendship is a gift
Illustrious, bright and accomplished
Lively, the life of the party
Light-hearted, you have an easy laughter
Inspirational, the ability to motivate
Approachable, people turn to you for help
Merry, abundant joy

Can we use retired kits from current designers? I want to say yes, but would like to double check. TIA.

Yes. As long as the designer is still selling at SSD you can use any of their products.

Edit: Oops! Never mind. Got my answer already.

I was working on a project this month for my grandkids and actually did two anacrostics before I saw the challenge. If anyone is stuck I thought Id share mine

I think it's hilarious that you chose Netflix & Chill as a bingo prompt. You know what it's slang for, right? haha

lol :wub: well, I'm a mom to three little boys [ages 11, 8 + 6] and have been married for 25 years... so at my house it's a phrase that carries a totally naive G rating ♥
but if it means something naughtier at your house... i'd just suggest keeping your page at a PG-13 rating if you plan to post it in the gallery either way, have fun with it!

When is sweet rewards week this month?

I think it should be next week

I'm so bummed! I'm ONE layout away from two BINGO lines but here in Maine we have lost power through much of the state. The governor declared a state a emergency. A huge tree knocked the lines down between my neighbor and us. Thankfully no structural damage, but no power. I can't get on my pc to scrap, can only use my phone and Kindle to check emails and such. It'll likely be days before the power is back on... Pretty please can I get a deadline extension?

So sorry about the power outage, Kairyn. I hope it'll be fixed soon.
I can't really say anything about deadline extension. I am not in the power to do that.

Power is back on! Woot! Woot! Is there someone I can ask about an extension?

Kairyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your emergency issues! I've already posted the winners for the prize, but if you want to go ahead and post your card, I'll let Lydia know that you can still earn the coupon! <3
