Challenges for Every Day of the Week!!! If you love a CHALLENGE th en The Shaker Box is the place for you! New, for 2005, are brand new challenges in a brand new forum. We're Shakin' up the CHALLENGES to bring you more than ever before! Whether it's art or words of wisdom that inspire you, we have your muse. If you like color or cards, we have challenges waiting for you! Each day will bring a new scrapbooking challenge waiting just for you.
- MONDAY: Mountains of Stash - find out what item Karen will be eliminating from your mountain of supplies that you've been hoarding, as she issues a challenge each Monday.
-
TUESDAY: Two fer Tuesdays - you get two challenges for the price of one as Sabrina brings you card challenges each week and Mac offers you color challenges bi-weekly to help you rotate around the wheel!
-
WEDNESDAY: Words of Wisdom will bring wisdom to your pages and inspiration through Words as Carla challenges you to use just one WORD, one special word, as a focus on your layout and Shawn inspires you with words of wit and wisdom through her quote challenges.
-
THURSDAY: Theme Books are the focus for Thursdays as Mac encourages you to create books with a purpose, those with a theme; whether it be a mini-album, tag booklet, My Life's Journey's album or a simple quote book - whatever the theme, you will find inspiration through Mac's challenges each week.
-
FRIDAY: TGIF but you aren't out of challenges - the weekend is just beginning! Each week our design team members will rotate to issue random challenges that will keep your pages going and your ideas flowing through the weekend!
-
SATURDAY: ADS and ART, whichever medium better suits your inspiration, Saturday will be the day you will find your muse as Sabrina and Lynn share new sources of mediums for your motivation.
- SUNDAY: Sketches, just as a builder needs a blueprint for a good foundation, sometimes every artist needs a good sketch for a piece of art. Let Mickey's sketches be a source of a good foundation for your next layout!
While these are a few of the NEW challenges, our old friends and standbys haven't been tossed away! You will still find many of your favorite challenges, such as the Page and Card Challenges, listed in the forum as well!
However you derive your inspiration, there are CHALLENGES galore just waiting for you inside our Shakin' Challenge Forums! Are You Feeling Lucky????
But wait - that's not all! Each time you complete a challenge, your name will be placed in a drawing. Upload your finished creation in the Challenge Gallery and tell us you did so in the Challenge Forums! At the end of the month, a name will be drawn for a great PRIZE PACKAGE including a SPECIAL CONTEST BLINKIE, a gallery upload HIGHLIGHT all month long showing you are a Very Special Person at the Shaker Box plus you will receive a package of scrap goodies donated by our sponsors!!!!
We realize this is a change from the past with the stash challenges and page goals, but hope that the additional challenges will offer more opportunities for people to be inspired! We can't wait to see what wonderful works of art you will create!
