Summer Games - July 3: Scattergories

[MamaBee]

Hello my sweet friends!

I hope you are excited for another amazing set of summer challenges here at Sweet Shoppe! Every year, I'm totally blow away with the creativity of the ideas and how it all comes together to bring the best challenges your way!

Today's challenge is inspired by the classic game of Scattergories!! Oh, man, I played this game a lot as a kid... I can not wait to see your take on this challenge!

Are you ready? Here we go!

Scattergories - everything on your page must begin with the same letter. Get creative and be sure to include your list of words when sharing your page. For example, background, blooms, butterflies and buttons OR papers, photos, paint and penguins OR snapshots, stitching, solids, sunshine. Dig out that thesaurus and have fun!

We love how this challenge really pushes you to get creative and really dig through your Sweet Shoppe Designs stash and find different items/elements that begin with the same letter. Once I got started, I couldn't stop... lol!!

Here is my example and I went with the letter F.

Remember, there are NO SET DEADLINES for our daily challenges. YOU decide what you want to scrap, WHEN you want to scrap, and have the freedom to decide what prizes you want to earn or try to win. As long as you've met those requirements and updated our master tracker by September 2nd in the case of our grand prizes, or have this month's tracker updated by the end of July if you're trying to earn this month's 40% discount, you're golden!

Most of our prizes will be awarded in early September, so YOU have the freedom to participate when you can without missing out on any of the fun this summer!

Thank you so much for playing along! Hoping y'all are having a wonderful summer!
