We are NOT closing in 2022!

Hi everybody! I've changed my other mind, just yesterday, and decided not to close my challenge blogs in 2022! It's been a whirlwind over the past 24 hours getting them ready for the new year but I know this will make a lot of people happy since there have been so many other challenges that have closed down over the past couple years.

I've made some changes to our challenge structure, and more detailed information will be available later this evening in the 'New Playing Guidelines' document. Here are some highlights:

1. Challenges will be every other month (January, March, May, July, September and November) and last approximately six weeks. 

2. Eight entries will be allowed in each challenge and you can combine our challenges with as many others as you wish. The more the merrier!

3. Only blog entries will be allowed since we require listing our challenge and linking back to our challenge. No more entries from Facebook, Instagram, or other social media sites, please.

4. Winners and Top Picks will be announced on the 1st of every other month with the new challenge details rather than posting a separate winner post.

5. We will not be running a DT call. My co-owner (Tina) and I will be providing challenge inspiration. 

6. We'll have new badges, and a different blog theme is planned so things will look a little different when you visit tomorrow morning for the new challenge!

7. Please use the email address on our Contact page if you have any questions or need direction. 

Hugs,
Leslie

LTSCB #152 - Christmas BINGO

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog! Thanks to everyone who played with us in last month's "Anything Goes" challenge! We absolutely loved seeing all your amazing creations! Be sure to check back on the 10th of this month for the announcement of our Winner and DT Favorites! Wishing each and every one of you very Happy Holidays!

Before we get to the challenge details, I have an announcement: This will be our last challenge for a while. I'd like to shout out to all of our designers, past and present, and say THANKS for all your wonderful projects over the years! Your hard work month after month has never gone unnoticed! <3 We will announce this month's Winner and DT Favorites on the 10th of January and then we'll be on hiatus for the rest of the year. The plan right now is to run a DT Call in September 2022 with the expectation of resuming our challenges in January 2023. Be sure to subscribe to new posts by email (over on the right sidebar) so you don't miss any new information that's posted!

Okay, are you ready?! Our theme this month is...
Christmas BINGO!

We challenge you to create a project using at least three items in any column
beneath the B, I, N, G or O! 
** Please note that this is not your typical BINGO card where you go up/down, left/right and diagonally. YOU CAN ONLY GO UP AND DOWN USING THE COLUMNS! **

Thank you, Irena, for re-making our BINGO card!
[Please remember to read our rules!]

The Scrappy Girls have been busy creating some pretty awesome projects to inspire you to play. Take a look at these gorgeous creations...

Leslie
I chose column I - flower, silver, pink, gemstone

Heather
I chose "B" and used red, gold, die cut, green and a button (a full bingo!)


Michele
I chose "G"- gold, red, green, embossing, charm (jingle bells)


Ann
I chose N - diecut, blue, snowflake, silver


Lisa
Choose I - flower, silver, twine, pink, gemstone

Feel free to visit our designers' blogs for full details on their DT inspiration projects and take a moment or three to let them know you love what you see - it would totally make their day! And leave us a comment when you link up... we love reading your comments!

As a reminder, you can enter up to five projects in our challenges! And be sure to check out our sister blogs, Love To Craft Challenge Blog and Mix It Up Challenge Blog, where you can enter up to five projects as well! We'd love to see you there! And if you've started creating your Christmas projects, join us over at our newest sister blog, Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog!

This challenge will run all month long, ending at 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the last day of month, so grab your papers, scissors and embellishments, and get scrappy with us!

Hugs,
The Scrappy Girls
