Challenged!: The Blog

Changes coming

2006-09-25T06:05:00.000-05:00

The seasons are changing and so will the blog. This week I will work on having links in the sidebar to all the individual challenges so they will be easier to find. Stay tuned.

Nat's Retrospective Challenge

2006-08-30T04:31:00.000-05:00

Nat, a German Scrapbooker, and poster on Two Peas, put this challenge up a few weeks ago. I just got the information (sorry Nat!) and the original run of the challenge was for 2 weeks, but I think it's a good idea that you can do at any time.

General Challenges

2006-06-14T09:53:00.000-05:00

Apart from the weekly and monthly challenges out there, there are also various general challenges that you can do whenever you want, in any period of time. One of them is the A2Z Encyclopedia of Me Challenge hosted by GingerKitty. With all the emphasis on scrapping Me pages lately, this could be just the catalyst you need.

If you're under 21 and feel like there is nothing in the scrap world you can relate to, sign up for the Under 21s Challenge hosted by bigsunglassesrock/Becca.
