clustering - any simple tips on how to do it? I don't think I've ever done it

The way I learnt was to use a template that already had clusters on it. Cindy has lots of good examples in her store. Another way is to find a layout in the gallery that has clusters similar to what you want on your page, and do your best to imitate the cluster bits. How do they arrange the flowers?What sizes are the flowers? Do they use lots of greenery? etc You don't need the same kit, just the structure of their cluster. Once you've done it a few times, you get the hang of it.

If it is for a job interview you applied for I would say yes. Talk about the interview, how you felt, what they asked etc.

If it's just a random list of questions from the internet with no corresponding answers I'd say no.

Thanks Jacinta, it would definitely be about the job interviews i've had over the last 18 months and my answers to the interview questions rather than random questions

I have a few kits I bought a few years ago from some of the designers before they joined Sweet Shoppe. They are now currently designers here. Would I be able to use any of these kits with the BINGO challenges?

Yes! As long as the kits are from designers that are CURRENTLY selling here, you're good to go

Sherly or anyone else for the interview challenge, would a conversation with my college son work? I feel like when I talk to him it is like an interview, lol.

The gist of the challenge is to have a question/answer type layout. If you can do your conversation with your son in that kind of format, then by all means go for it.

Thanks Jacinda.

If I'm working towards 2 lines of 5 can I do 2 horizontal lines or do they have to be of different directions?

Okay... newbie question. I'm wondering if we can do a designer challenge (Dream Big Designs and On a Whimsical Adventure both had challenges in March) and have the same layout count on our BINGO card? Not sure if this is considered "double-dipping" - so thought I'd ask.

That's OK, Kairyn. The designer challenges are independent to the shoppe challenge, so it will still be acceptable

[Kairyn]

SUPER! That's awesome... thanks so much!

Scrap something you do to rejuvenate? Or what you do as a family to refocus? Today my eldest went to the beach... she and her sister love to sit by the ocean. It helps both girls to gain back some of the peace that is lost in our daily busy lives.

Great idea, Kairyn!
Here is a page I made for this particular challenge. I just journaled about my life and how I think of it.

[roxana]

Thanks Sherly and Kairyn, off to put on my thinking cap!

Me too, but I guess it has something to do with ourselves (?
This is an example I found in the gallery for that one.

[roxana]

I dont have pics of playgrounds, so does any of the Disney parks count for #22 park or playground visit?

[roxana]

Great, thanks!!

Need some help for #19 Signs of spring, I know this should be an easy one, but what would you scrap if you were all year long green? Flowers bloom all the year, leaves don't fall and animals are always around. So guess the date should be the only sign of our spring LOL

Only 4 to go and this is the hardest one for me LOL

Thanks for the idea Loni! Spring activities, I may have something for that!!

I did this one for the blue/brown layout. Is it acceptable or is the greenery and the yellow ribbon & moon not allowed? I thought I asked and was told if it is mostly blue and brown a small amount of other colors would be ok.

[lingovise]

It's perfect for the challenge, Jessica... and an absolutely darling page ♥
