Challenge Bingo FAQ!

Thank you Libby.

I'm sorry, I'm no help to Labor Day.
We don't celebrate it either.
 
According to the US Dept of Labor website, this is what Labor Day is:

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

For the prompt, I'd say you could scrap about anything employmentelated (your job, your spouse's job, the job of a sahm, your dream job, your first job, etc) OR you could probably even go literal with "labor" and do a pregnancy/delivery page, too.

I'd say it's up to you to be creative and determine how you want to interpret the prompt. :)
 
Was definitely hoping to see some Birth Story pages for Labor Day for sure! So get creative. It was mostly a play on words as I was creating this month's card!
 
I was thinking of doing something on my son's birth - he was born on May 1 which happens to be Labour Day in many countries (ours is in October), and I laboured!!
 
Are we allowed to use Jenn & La's kits for Bingo challenges now that they're (about to) retired, at least for this month?

I bought quite lots of theirs during the retirement sale :p

Thanks! :)
 
Yes you may! :) As long as the products you use are my current SSD designers, you can use anything (freebies, retired, currently in the store, sold elsewhere for a guest spot). The main thing is that the product is from our current designers. :)
 
I tried looking and can't find an answer -- if I want to do a bingo card diagonally - do I need to do a layout for the free spot or is it "free" meaning I don't need to do a layout for that space?

Yes, you do need to do a layout on the free spot if you're not doing a black out. It's only free if you plan to do black out.
 
I need some clarification - when the space on the bingo cards reads inside/outside; does that mean I can use one or the other (use a photo about inside or a photo about outside) or do I need to include one of each? Same question when it is naughty or nice -- I am pretty sure I can do one or the other on these but not sure.

Thanks so much, Debbie

I think the challenge is open to your interpretation. So, as long as it is along the line the prompt, you can choose to do just the inside or the outside, the same with the naughty or nice. I hope it helps.
 
Before I take advantage of today's Xmas discount, I just want to double check that we can use retired items for challenges. Thanks in advance for your help! :D

From my understand you can use retired products from CURRENT designers. This is what it says:

The Nitty Gritty

You must use Sweet Shoppe products for the bulk of your page. Outside templates, minor accents, etc. are perfectly ok as long as at a glance the page is obviously created with products from our shoppe and designers!

Challenges MUST remain where they appear on the card. You MAY NOT scrap 9 layouts of your choice and simply put them in the corresponding pattern to earn a discount.

Obviously due to the size of the layouts on the tracker card, it would be difficult for us to check each challenge in detail to make sure it matches with the challenge, but we know we can count on our amazing community to play by the rules.

Unless they change the rules for next year, it is allowed...I'll see if bumping this up will get someone more official to answer. :thumbup:

Yes, as long as the designers of the retired goods are still here, you should be good to use them on challenges :)
 
I found this from Libby, one of the designers, in the FAQ.

when i want to upload some page in the gallery at 160 x 160.
or 600 x600 it says (exceeds filesize limit).
how can it be even with the small size ?
 
You can upload your image at 700x700 pixels as long as the filesize is lower than 250kb. So you might have to compress your image a bit. Hope this helps :)
 
thats the problem i dont now how to get it under 250 kb.
i used to have a program to compres in my favorites on my laptop., but i have a new laptop and cant find it on the internet anymore :(
does anyone have a tip to compress ?
 
What program do you use to scrap? In Photoshop you can either use the "save for web" option or just the regular Save/Save As jpg and move the slider until you reach the desired filesize
 
Here's a silly question - what size is the bingo card? Trying to make a file the same size as the card and can't get it quite right.
