Anyone else waiting impatiently for the new challenge system to be revealed?
I finished posting my last Portfolio challenge LOs this morning, and now I'm not-so-patiently waiting for the big reveal. I'm not a big fan of change, and being weekly instead of monthly makes me a bit nervous. But I'm hoping I'll love the new system as much as the old one once I get used to it.

I am!! I have a goal to quadruple my scrapping in 2014! That sounds impressive until you realize how few pages I finished in 2013. lol

Weekly might actually work better for me. I know that I will look over challenges at the beginning of the month, intend to do them, set them aside and then, all of a sudden, it's the end of the month and nothing got done.

We are really excited about our new challenges, but they are REALLY different than anything we've done before so keep that in mind. We're taking a much more relaxed approach which features amazing weekly inspiration and a "play along if you're feeling inspired for a chance to win goodies" kind of strategy.
I can't wait to roll these out on January 5th for you guys as we think this system fits perfectly into the busy lives we're all leading! Stay tuned!

For those of you that are looking to keep things simple and get things done you want to get done in 2014 - I think you'll find the new new system to be right up your alley!

Im hoping to participate this new year! This past year I was so busy with other crafts and life that I only scrapped quietly alone, lol :-)

I'm scared to lose my coupon too. Hoping that's not part of it. Also sad I have to wait a few days since I'm finally not busy tomorrow. Lol. Can't wait to find out.

As soon as I saw it was going to be play for a chance to win, I assumed we were losing the coupons. The challenge system as it was worked perfectly for me, but I can understand why Robin and everyone else here wanted to try changing it. There seem to be fewer of us doing the challenges every month, so it makes sense to try a system where people can drop in for a challenge here and there rather than having to earn a certain number of points every month. I'm going to miss the motivation of needing to earn those points, though. (All me assuming, of course. I know nothing about how the challenges are really changing.)

I share a lot of the concerns that losing the coupon for participating could be scary... playing along doesn't guarantee a chance to win, and I like product!
On the flip side, new releases and sales are when I buy most of my product as it is, which means my shopping habits won't change much from the change, most likely, and the reason I do challenges is to be inspired... my heart sank when I thought the coupons could be leaving, but then I realized that there are a lot of months I participate in the challenge, but then let the coupon expire because I don't have the funds at the time I can use them, and end up buying what I want in a sale... I can see both sides of things. I'm mostly hoping for good inspiration (and if I win something, I win something-- always a bonus).

I think it sounds great, I think it sounds like a way to get the community really active.
Change is always good, every time a new system has been introduced there has been panic. Lol! |

I'm really looking forward to the new change.

I am hoping the change will make it a bit more feasible for me to keep up. I hope there is something so there's no need to go to Pinterest for the actual prompts, I don't really do Pinterest. But, either way, one of my goals was to scrap more this year.
I've seen the challenges here change many times, and every time, there are some who like it, and some who don't. I never did participate much, as I mostly scrap for the artistic value as opposed to the memory keeping side, but I do know a lot of people do. I am sure Robin and the team have something awesome lined up!

I've missed doing challenges. One of my goals for this year is to get back into doing things I love.... Can't wait to see what's unveiled.

Yay! I just saw on the blog that we can still earn shoppe discounts with the new system. I'm so glad we won't have to give those up. Not only do I love shopping with the coupon, but working toward it is great motivation for me.

I am just curious whether designers' CT members can use their CT layouts for the challenges, too.

While having to do fewer challenges may be nice, having to do more gave me the motivation to get my 40% coupon every month. I usually spent a good chunk of $ when I got my coupon, but having to wait 3 months to get 40% will either break my bank on that third month, not permit me to get as many kits as I'd like, or cut down on a lot of my page production with the reduced quota....feeling unsure as of yet

I like the new system! I think it's great to be able to win a kit. The months where I managed to earn 40% discount were not many before, and I often didn't even use the discounts I got. So this is much better for me. Mostly, I get stuff when it's new and 20% off anyway.

I'm with you. I don't mind waiting to earn a bigger coupon, but I don't like that there's no choice of challenges. It will be a rare month when I find myself inspired by all 4 challenges, and I'm not going to scrap pages I don't care about just to earn a point. For now I'm waiting to see what the challenges are like, but if they're all as specific as scrapping resolutions I won't be participating much.

I'm going to throw it out there: I generally LOVE the new challenge system.
There is only one thing I would change if I had the choice-- while I really like this week's prompt, I know that there will likely be some that I don't like. I'm not sure I like that if I do decide to not do one challenge because it doesn't resonate with me, that I'll be missing out on that month's SR point. One way I could see SSD being able to provide a workaround would be to give a choice of 2 or 3 challenges each week, but making it so only one per week needs to be done for SRs. Basically, you'd have 3 challenges (maybe one be a photo challenge, one a journaling challenge, one a layout inspiration or color inspiration, or whatever... or maybe just 3 whatever random challenges). You'd get to pick ONE to do for the SR point that week, and then (depending on what the team prefers), 1-3 of the layouts could be entered for the random draw. Even if only 1 layout can be used for the random draw and the SR, you'd still be getting 3 times the inspiration-- and hopefully, in a variety of areas (some of us are more photo-centric, some more journaling-centric, some like a challenge that stretches their limits and some like one that they can fit into their own style). I really do love the challenge system. I'd just also love to see a couple more options per week. It doesn't have to be like the portfolio system where there were an abundance of challenges, but having 2 or 3 to pick from (and using the additional ones just as fun inspiration!) would help us all feel less like we have to do a challenge that doesn't resonate with us in order to get a prize, but at the same time, stick to not a ton of pressure on the SSD team to do an abundance of challenge ideas. Happy medium.

I'm liking the new system so far, but I do hope that the challenges won't be mostly "About Me" style pages because while I do the occasional page about me, I have way too many photos to catch up on of my family to be wasting time doing a layout I wouldn't do otherwise.
As far as waiting 3 months to get 40% that's not a biggie to me because my shopping has gone way down anyway - I don't see as much that I want anymore (probably because I have such a huge stash that things are starting to look the same to me now! ) So shopping every 3 months is good for my pocketbook and I only have to scrap 12 layouts to do it. I'll just put things on my wish list and wait until I have 40% to use. |
