It’s a new month and it’s a new year and if you like challenges, this is the place to be!!! This is Polly Karen here bringing you a whole lot of exciting challenge news. In addition to our regular batch of 7 monthly challenges we are kicking your mojo into high gear with a month of daily challenges! That’s right, one new challenge for each day of January. Each new challenge will be posted around 8:00 EST in the morning and you’ll have until February 2nd to finish them all. Not only will you have a pile of fabulous new pages to show off at the end of the month, but if you complete all 31 challenges you could win a FULL TIME spot on the Creative Team!!! How’s that for a prize? In addition to that grand prize, there will be a winner for each individual challenge for a $3 gift certificate to the store. Wowza! So far we’ve announced the first two days of challenges, but you’ll have to keep checking in the forum each day for the rest. I’ve seen the list though and there are some great challenges coming your way.
If you’ve read this far and you think that I’m crazy and that you can’t handle so much excitement in one month, don’t worry, we are also hosting our regular batch of 7 monthly challenges too. As usual you can earn a nice coupon for the store depending on how many challenges you complete. 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30%. If you complete all 7 challenges you’ll be entered to win a one month guest spot on the creative team. Here’s a look at the 7 new monthly challenges:
