It's April Sweet Shoppers! Are you ready for another month of making connections and scrapping your hearts out? I don't know about you, but our Connect & Create challenges might be one of my favorite challenge systems in a long time. I have really loved seeing the variety of pages in the gallery and I love the freedom all of you have to scrap layouts that are meaningful to you.
Like always, to play along, you just need to make your matches and scrap a beautiful page! Other than the simple rule that each option can only be used once, you’re free to make the connections you want and scrap the pages that excite you most! Here are your options and tracker card for April...
Something to keep in mind, the words on the left are open to interpretation and can be literal or symbolic. For example...
Seeds can be for growing plants, veg, flowers, etc. or it can be the seeds of an idea or a thought, etc.
Reboot can be for relaxing, refreshing and renewing yourself or it could be computer issues. Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Sprinkle could be rain showers, cupcake or cookie decorations, a sprinkle of elements and more!
Get creative and have fun with these! We are never looking to disqualify anyone from earning sweet rewards. We simply want to inspire you to get those pages scrapped.
Are you ready to jump in? It's easy to play along...
Right-click the image above to save it to your computer and start connecting options! You might want to make a plan before creating your pages to make sure each match feels doable.
Then grab a spot in this thread to track your progress and share your pages.
Here's how you can earn your rewards...
As a reminder, you must use Sweet Shoppe products for the majority of each page. Templates or small touches from other designers are fine, but your page should obviously feature our products.
Scroll down for some inspiring "matches" from our Babes and a sample of what your tracker should look like!
Happy scrapping!
