Happy December Sweet Shoppers!
Can you believe we’re staring down the end of the year? 2025 has flown by, and I’m a bit gobsmacked that our Countdown to 20 challenges are nearly over.
Once upon a time our Babes hosted a template challenge that we lovingly called our Cookie Decorating challenge. The idea was simple: take the template and “decorate” it however you wanted. No rules. No restrictions. Just pure creative freedom.
For this month’s flashback challenges, we’ve taken a little liberty with that Cookie Decorating concept and turned it into a full month of SugarBabe-hosted sketch challenges in our SugarBabe Sketch Spectacular. The holidays are wildly busy for most of us, so we wanted December’s challenges to feel easygoing and fun.
Here’s the scoop! Starting tomorrow at Noon ET, we’ll post our first SugarBabe Sketch challenge. All you need to do is scrap a layout using the sketch and you’re good to go.
Make a December Daily. Catch up on photos you’ve been meaning to scrap. Spin the sketch. Shrink it. Make it your own. Just have fun. At the end of the month, update the tracker below with your layouts and you’ll earn your Sweet Rewards.
As you can see above, we’re skipping tiers this month. Simply scrap pages using 10 of the 12 sketches our Babes post between now and Christmas Eve and you’ll earn a 40% coupon to use in January.
That’s not all! Since it’s the season of giving, when you complete 10 of 12 challenges you’ll not only be entered to win our usual monthly $50 gift certificate, you’ll also be entered to win one of four bonus $25 gift certificates. That’s $150 in prizes up for grabs during our SugarBabe Sketch Spectacular.
To play along, just grab a spot in this thread to track your progress and update your post by 11:59pm ET on December 31st. Share the image of your tracker plus links to your participation in each of our Babes’ threads and you’ll be in the running for this month’s rewards.
Before I go, I want to say thank you for being part of this year’s challenges. It has been such a joy to see your beautiful pages each month, and we hope you’ve loved playing along with our team.
I’d love to know... what has been your favorite challenge system this year?
Happy Holidays from all of us here at Sweet Shoppe Designs!
