Hi everyone! I am new here at Sweet Shoppe :) Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I am joining so I can work on some of the challenges. I figured they would be a good motivation. So any advice on where to start??

Kate
 
Hey Kate welcome!!! Just start in the challenge tracker thread, it list all the challenges...and start from the beginning! WHat a great time to join in!! You are going to love it here!
 
WELCOME!! Glad to have you here. As for the challenges, it may be a tad overwhelming at 1st, but I promise you will have a blast with them. Like Holly said, just start at the beginning.

Make sure to read the Sweet Rewards FAQ so you know how the points work to get your discount at the end of the month.

Good luck and please jump in with any questions you might have!
 
Hi Kate and welcome!! I'd just jump right on in with both feet! Our lovely Meggy keeps the challenge tracker and challenges up to date so it's all easy peasy!!

Have fun!
 
I really like the Cookie Decorating, Shutterbug Shakedown, and One Word challenges ... I really want to get into some of the other ones, though ... like the Sugar Free Challenge.

Welcome!!! You'll LOVE it here!
 
Welcome to SSD! I love the challenges here, but I love the cookie challenge and the shutterbug shakedown. There are challenges on the blog too, so keep an eye on it too! There's a tab for that right up there ^ at the top :)
 
The cookie decorating is one of the most popular ones. :) They are all awesome! Just start at the top and work your way down!! :) Welcome!!! It's awesome here and you will grow a lot!
 
Thanks for all the warm welcomes :) I am definitely looking forward to trying some of the challenges :)

Kate:)
 
Hi Kate! Welcome to SSD :) I'd start with Cookie, you get a free template to add your own touches. Personally I like the recipe, Sweet Inspiration and Scrap w/ The Sugarbabes. :)
 
I will try to post often. I have been out of the loop scrapping lately so I am trying to get back in the groove.

Ok so I have a question already about the challenges. I read the rewards FAQ's. But I have a few questions. If I do the color challenge can I combine it with the Neapoliton challenge and use something new from Saturday and get 3 points? Also for the Neapoliton challenge since the start date is 7/30 does your points count toward July or August? Are all the challenges based on when the due dates are and not the start dates? So are there some challenges that started late July for which you can acquire points for August?

Any help here would be great ;)

Welcome Kate! I have no advice on where to start with the challenges: they all are so amazing that I can't choose which one I prefer! LOL
 
If I do the color challenge can I combine it with the Neapoliton challenge and use something new from Saturday and get 3 points?

I'm not 100% sure about this, but the color challenge is the only challenge that you can (and actually must) combine with another challenge. I'm sure someone else will be more affirmative and help you out with this!!

Also for the Neapoliton challenge since the start date is 7/30 does your points count toward July or August?Are all the challenges based on when the due dates are and not the start dates? So are there some challenges that started late July for which you can acquire points for August?

All LOs posted now only count for august. During the last week, the challenges can either count for august (if you post the LOs before 8/31) or september. Those are specifically listed in the Challenge Tracker. So that means that, except for the color challenge that must be done within the week after it's posted, you have until the last day of the month to post your LOs and get your sweet rewards!

Oh, and one last thing: those challenges are the most fun and creative ever!!! :thumbup: LOL
 
Dive right in honey, I agree the cookie challenge is an amazing jump off point!! Welcome to the community!
