About the Challenges....

[BriannaL]

I wanted to get input from everyone involved - how often should I post a challenge??? I think that 2 weeks to complete a challenge is enough time - but should I post a new challenge EVERY week so that those who are finished with the challenge will have something new to work on or just post a challenge every 2 weeks.

Thanks for your input.

I think you should just post one challenge every two weeks. If we get finished early, then that's fine we can work on other things. I know when I've been in swaps it can get hectic when you start working on other projects and cannot do other things you would like to work on (like maybe other layouts). KWIM? That's my opinion, anyway! AND if we space them apart then we can get others to join the site and participate. I'm afraid if we do challenges too often we may get burned out (from my own experience).

Speaking of challenges, when we finish doing the CK HOF assignments (if we continue doing those), then I would like to do an "art inspiration" challenge at some point. I've seen those elsewhere and always thought I would like to do it. I think doing challenges with MB members that I know will help me want to do the challenges more. Am I just rattling on today or what? Andrew and I have mopped the whole house today and I think the cleaner has got to me! Ugh!

I was thinking that we should keep it every 2 weeks myself. I just wasn't sure if that's the way everyone else wanted it too!!! I love the idea of art inspiration. I've come up with several ideas for upcoming challenges - I've been writing them down in a little journal I created so that I don't forget them. If anyone else has any more ideas, let me know!!!

Sounds good. I wonder if anyone else will join or if it will be just us two!

I have a suggestion for some future challenges. On another board i was on we did scripture challenges. Every one got a diffrent scripture to scrap. I really enjoyed those challenges

I think I would prefer to pick my own reference but I think that challenge would be fun too. We have lots of ideas to work with!

[BriannaL]

I wrote all of the ideas down sometime last week and there were enough ideas to do a challenge every other week and we wouldn't repeat the same type of challenge (i.e. - sketch, element, etc.) for 6 months. That's 13 or 14 different types! These challenges are definately pushing me to try new things and use my "stash"!

And that's another possible idea - use your stash challenge! LOL Maybe use products we've had for six months or more, something like that.
