New Challenge - Fallen for Elsie!!!

Introducing a new ongoing challenge based on the Summer Scrap-Off created by Jenn & Jill…Inspired by Elsie Flannigan’s book 52 Scrapbooking Challenges and in honor of the upcoming fall season, it’s the Fallen for Elsie challenge!

Please read the details below and if you are interested in participating, send me an e-mail at queenbeeofscrap@yahoo.com by this Friday, September 15th. You will notice that most aspects are very similar to the Scrap-Off. There was such a positive response to how this worked during the summer, we decided to go with something similar.

It is not necessary for you to own Elsie’s book to participate in the challenges. Each challenge will be taken out of her book, but most are self-explanatory. When possible, inspirational pieces will also be provided. Elsie’s book contains 52 challenges and a lot of extras, so obviously not ALL of them will be a part of our challenge series.

This is an ongoing challenge that will most likely begin the week of September 17th and continue through the quarter. It will last 12 weeks, with the conclusion being the week of December 3rd. This will allow everyone some “down time” as the holidays approach.

This will be a team challenge, similar in nature to the Summer ScrapOff. Teams will be formed after all sign-ups are received.

Challenges and entries will be updated on the same blog we used for the ScrapOff as well: http://www.just-a-little-scrappin-fun.blogspot.com/

There will be one main challenge each week. It will be posted around Sunday morning (though I’m not committing to an exact time) and will be due midnight (EST) the following Saturday.

Each main challenge will be assigned a point value. EVERY participating layout meeting the criteria will earn some points for their team, but depending on the nature of the challenge, some may be worth more than others.

All entries should be a paper scrapbook layout 6”x6” or larger, unless the challenge specifically calls for something else. If you are not sure if a project of yours counts toward a challenge, feel free to contact me with questions.

As is always the case with these fun events, be prepared for extras and surprises along the way…Make sure to check the blog regularly throughout each week!

So, what will you get for all of your hard work and dedication throughout the12 week series? If you are on the winning team, you will receive a gift (retail value of $10) from a member of the opposing team. And of course…there could always be surprises along the way.
I hope everyone is as excited and involved in this as the scrap-off. It will be a ton of fun and I look forward to getting all of your sign-ups!!
