I will post supplies, tools, or books to use every Monday but we don't have to use all of them. We can also combine more than one supply on a layout if. This list will be cumulative. Once the product is on the list it will stay on the list. Since I really don't have time every week to get a layout completed this was my way of making this challenge low stress. The point is to try to use what we've spent good money on rather than have it gather dust!
We will begin posting whenever you've got a layout done and want to post it. There will be no deadline for when you can post because I want this to be low-stress.
To make this interesting I have decided on a points system. To participate in this challenge you definitely do not have to keep up with your points. The only reason I came up with the points is to congratulate the person who uses the most of their stash. I will mail the winner 30 sheets of Bazzill cardstock at the end of this challenge. I am making the end of this challenge Dec. 31st. That gives us a couple of months to use up our stuff! If we still wish to continue we can start the points over and I will find something else to donate to the next winner.
Points structure:
1) For every page (8 1/2x11 or 12x12) you do that contains a stash item that is on the list give your. (note: I mentioned for every page not every layout. If you do a two page layout and both pages have stash items then you will get 2 points)2) For every card you do for the September Card Challenge (that M-C posted) that you use items from the stash list you will get one point.
3) For every 3 cards you do (not for the September Card Challenge) that includes a item from the list you will get one point.4) For every two pages you do (8x8 or 6x6) you will get one point.
5) Every once in a while I will post bonus points for the week. This is just to make this even more fun. : )You are responsible for keeping up with your own points. It might be fun if everyone had it to our signature line on the newsgroup.
Please feel free to give me any feedback or suggest other guidelines that will make this a low-stress challenge that people will enjoy joining.
So here's what I propose for the first week's items from our stash:
- Colored eyelets (non metallic)
- Fibers
- Pattern Paper
- Letter Beads
Please post your projects to the newsgroup if you can. We all would like to see everyone's ideas for using up our own stash.
