Challenge Information

Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope you all had a fantastic "silly season" and enjoyed the family time, took lots of photos and are ready to scrap. I am very excited to give a little bit of a run down on how the revamped Scrap the Boys will work.

How the challenges will work:
Every month on the 1st I will post the months challenge accompanied by the creative team reveal. The challenges will be centered around our boys and the inspiration for the challenges will be varied to help you get out of the boyzone you are currently in. All layout entries will be posted on the blog and also in the gallery slideshow on the sidebar. This will ensure we all get to benefit from all that gorgeous boy inspiration being shared. Please also be aware that the blog is also a huge source of inspiration and the layout you enter may be used as such by other scrappers therefore scraplifting of your layout could occur.

How to enter:
All you need to do to enter is create a layout using the challenge criteria for your inspiration and email your layout to me prior to midnight at the end of the month. My email address is susan.longman@bigpond.com so save it to your address books. You can expect a response email within the week of you sending your entry, if you do not recieve one please resend your entry to me as I would hate to miss you off the blog.

Monthly Boy Swaps:
Every month I will be running a boy themed embellishment swap as well as the layout challenge. For the swaps you will be required to sign up by commenting on the post and emailing me to confirm your spot in the swap. Sign up cut off will be by the 10th of every month and swap items will need to be mailed to me by the 20th of every month so please be courteous to the other swappers and commit to the time frames. These swap will be heaps of fun and the benefit is you get some unique embellishments to use on your pages...we all know how difficult it is to find good boy embellishments.

Announcing the winners:
Winners will be announced in the first week of the month and they will recieve an email to inform them of their win plus which sponsor will be contacting them and also as part of the prize is the opportunity to be one of our "Scrapper in the Spotlight" which is a guest CT spot for an upcoming challenge. We would love for you to be involved in this but it is not compulsory.
