[Robin Carlton]

Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers...

We've been hyping it up for a couple of weeks, and we're thrilled to share that our big summer event is here! We're keeping it easy going this year with tons of flexibility for those of you who are busy busy busy over the summer, so you can still scrap along when you have time for your chance to win!

These challenges can be anything and everything, so you'll just have to check in to see what our team has in store for you! There will be 31 challenges in all over the next two months, and we have TONS of incentive for you to play along, and best of all, there really aren't any firm deadlines unless you want to earn Sweet Rewards in July and August.

Pssssst... I'll probably move the first challenge over before I head to bed tonight (and it's been a day!) so it should be up in a couple of hours <3

When we chose a product for the wish list...can it be a collab? Or just solo products?

Definitely my favorite set of challenge rules yet! I always struggle with the big summer challenge event because June is my main "month off" from school stuff, and then things get kind of busy in July and SUPER busy in August, so I AM LOVING the flexible timing part of this! Huge thank you to everyone who puts so much work into making everything amazing around here!

Could you point us in the direction of a list of the designers names v their company name. I know a few, but not all.

Our Designer Directory is up to date too!

looks so much fun!

[PictureMom]

Do you have to do each challenge in a time period or do you have until Aug 1 to complete them all?

[jenn7]

Oooh fun!! I’m excited to play but will have to wait as I’m on vacation. Thanks for the flexibility!

You have until August 1st to earn the 40% discount and be entered to win the $50 gift certificate we're giving away for the 15 challenges we'll post in July and then until September 2nd to earn the 40% for the 16 challenges we'll post in August. There is no specific deadline for each daily challenge this year as we'll be awarding all of the prizes on set dates for anyone who is able to complete the prize tier amounts by the various overall deadlines (8/1 or 9/2 depending on what you want to win / earn / etc)

You can technically do all 31 challenges in the last week of August and still be eligible to enter to win our grand prizes.

Hope that makes sense <3

Thanks so much!

[tjscraps]

Oh I love this, and love the format! I was bummed with the hype banners, I had surgery last week and can use my phone but not laptop for a couple weeks and thought I’d miss out, so I really love how flexible you’ve made it! Can’t wait!!!

I think it's okay - but want to double check, can we used retired products from current designers? I just realized the kit I used for the first challenge is retired, can definitely do another page if needed

Like all of our challenges, as long as the designer is still currently on our team, you're welcome to use their retired products.

Thanks Robin, I thought it was the case as with the other challenges but wanted to double check (cause summer brain is taking over, wanting to be on vacation mode and yet all the plans for next year starting to creep in cause oh man fall is gonna be crazy)

Is the alpha used for "summer" in the Summer scrap-a-thon" heading from a particular kit? I love it!

Thank you for making this flexible. On vaca from July 1 to 18th. I have one night right now that we are in a hotel but mostly in National Parks camping with no service.

[3BluEyedBabi]

In our tracker threads, are we supposed to link to our LO in the gallery, or our post in the forum?? I was linking my LO in the gallery in the July tracker and then the post in the master tracker...

Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand the rules with the prizes. If I intend to do all the layouts (31), do I have to write everything like this:

I scrapped ALL 31 challenges, want to win my wishlist, have earned the 50% super reward, and the Create-A-Thon collection too!
or
I scrapped 25 challenges and have earned Create-A-Thon!
or
I scrapped 10 challenges and want to be entered to win a free kit or mini-bundle

or do I have to choose one of the three?

50% OFF in a coupon you can use on a single order of your choice before the end of the year?

Does this mean the coupon will last longer than the week for normal coupons?
