Month of Challenges - MOC4 countdown has begun!

Oh my gosh, if I haven't said it yet, welcome welcome to all the "newbies"!!!

And thanks Anne for that link to the blog. This is my first MOC, too, having only been at the pad for 7 months or so!

 

I like Jen's idea but my question is - will we know the new designers before end of December so we can get prepared? I have to admit I figure the new designers are coming from a closing store and since I may have kits from them I am trying to figure out my "gameplan".

 

I'll try.

 

Gerli! I recognize you! Glad to see you over here!

Good question, Debbie. I'm not sure when the big announcement is coming, but I know even if you have a certain designer's products already, those specific ones might not be added to the store (yet), so that's also something to consider. Since the rule is about current product, it would need to be in the TLP store by MOC's end to count towards the 75%.

 

Good point Lorry - that is a bummer since this time of the year is a little tough to buy scrapbook kits. I guess I need to look through store and see if anything jumps at me that I can use for photos that I know I have or will be taking.

 

Hi Lorry - Nice to meet you Again. I see a lot of familiar faces here

 

I just also wanted to point out the December deal days. If you find something you think you can totally use in many situations, check out the Deal days to see if it might go on a "sale" before the end of the year! TLP Collabs, and any of the "main kits" from the subscriptions are a bit pricey for one, but can be used sooooo many times because they are a bit larger and are meant to appeal to many different types of scrappers. I myself subscribe to M3 and Storyteller, and both of those options are both able to be scrapped in pocket style or traditional, not just artsy/art journaly... So, those may be worth the larger purchase! There's something for everyone

Also, if you "stalk" any of the designers' blogs or facebooks, sometimes you can find additional freebies that way! Amber Labau, Sahlin Studio, Pink Reptile Design and Little Butterfly Wings (at the very least these four) have template/blog freebies. And Just Jaimee is having a huge Freebie Archive going on right now, too. You may need to be a newsletter subscriber to get to those. Some of Jaimee's freebies are her small pieces of the store collabs, so those would count. just some options!

 

Hi, everyone! Just a quick question. As the some of the designers move over here, can we use kits that they bring to the Lily Pad - active in the store - that we purchased at Scrap Orchard? It may not come up for me, but I thought I would check just in case. (I have plenty of Lily Pad kits too!) Thanks in advance! Tammy

 

9 days!!!

 

If it is in the store, then I think it should be okay, and again welcome to the Pad, and I love that you have some designers from SO gonna be here too..that makes me happy too!

 

i just saw this post...i am so looking forward to MOC... i have done it the last few years and wow i have learned a lot and gotten a lot of pages done, some to finish off this year, some for the new year and some for my heritage project... it isnt has hard as its sounds to do one a day..or skip and then do a few over the weekend..welcome to all the newcomers and look forward to seeing everyone once we are doing our MOC

 

I'm gonna try again this year!

 

Thank you so much! I am going to love it here! I am going to give this MOC four a try! Like you said even if I only get 10 layouts done - I am way ahead!!!

 

well, I guess I might at least try, right?!

I only have one question (sorry if it's been already asked). is it ok to use outside templates along with TLP designers' kits? would that count?
