Check out Those Challenges

Hi everyone! Kendall here to share with you some fun and awesome stuff going on over at ScrapMatters. I'm talking about CHALLENGES!! Now, if you've never participated in the SM challenges, you're really missing out. They are super fun and inspiring, and best of all, they force you to "scrap outside the box." I know that I often need a little prompt or two to help me think about my pages in a whole new light, and the challenges really help to do that. Oh, did I mention you can earn points toward free SM gift certificates? Well, ya can!! :)

It's not too late to get in on some fab challenges featuring Sarah and her amazing products this month. First up is the ever-popular Tuesday Template Challenge. Sarah is hosting one of these challenges this month, and as an added bonus for participating, you get a FREE template! Good deal, right? Here's the link to the challenge thread at SM, and here's a preview of the awesome template you can download right away to get started.


Isn't it great?! All you have to do is download the template, create a LO, upload your LO to the SM gallery and link it back to the Tuesday Template Challenge thread, and you're done! Easy peasy.

Another great challenge going on right now is the Grand Theft Layout challenge featuring none other than our own Sarah Bennett. Ya see, in addition to being a fantastic designer, Sarah also has some mad scrappin' skills of her own!

Check it our here and then stalk Sarah's gallery until you find a LO you love (which won't be hard. Trust me.), then scraplift it and create your own page based on Sarah's LO. Upload, link, you get the idea, right?

So, what are ya waiting for?! Get yourself over to SM and get started on some challenges! You will have so much fun, improve your scrapping skills, AND earn free and discounted merch! And don't forget that if you decide to participate--which I really hope you do--link us up to your LO in the Comments section of this post so that we can leave ya some love! You have until the end of April to participate in Sarah's challenges, but there are new challenges constantly being posted every month, so there's no excuse not to do it. :) Hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Scrapping!
