[Mary Buttons]

There seems to be some discussion as to whether we can claim extra points for our team for doing the Monthly house challenge
I thought we could only claim 10 for a SLO & 20 for a DLO but others are saying we can claim 50 pts for our individual teams. please can you clarify this for me


There are no additional points for doing the House Challenge layouts.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Could someone please tell me how many points you get for the photobox class for the cyber crop

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=187782

hiya Kat - just for October you can claim 50 points for this project - there is a full list of CC points up in the CC forum :D

Hi, I've made a Journaling Jar (fully decorated) and an accompanying blank journal (front cover decorated). Can I claim any points for these?


No, this wouldnt be worth any points
bet it looks great though :) J/Jars are fab :D

[Mary Buttons]

Is it safe to upload to our house the LOs for November. I see that although we were told that Sept would be cleared when we started posting Oct they were not and now there is both Sept & Oct still in the house galleries.


Yep, you can upload.
I do try and wait for everyone to move their layouts, and then have to delete the ones that are left when I get the chance after the 1st of the month :)

[tinker]

ok just a quickie I have made a book (like with the bind it all thingie) 6x6 with 32 full pages (as a gift for a friend) now i take it its larger than a mini book ye? so do i claim for 33 LOs in the team points :blink:

would hate to cheat so need to verify :lol:



I'd say 6x6 was a mini book and therefore worth 50 points but will need to speak to Scrapdolly :)

[scrapdolly]

You can class 6 x 6 as layouts - just use your own discression that they stand up to being called layouts IYSWIM.
If in doubt class it as a mini book

[leigh11]

i know the points for an exploding box, but will a pyramid exploding box count the same point????

[scrapdolly]

yup just the same as long as it is fully decorated and finished - not a blank box as a gift for example

[leigh11]

thanks dolly, thought as much :)

[TwinTrouble]

I've bought some calendars that are 12x12 and can add a photo to them... I have added 8x8 simple layouts instead and was wondering whether these would class as normal layouts as when the year is over I will be chopping them out and placing in albums for the recipients! :wub:
Also... does it matter if the 8x8 layouts are the same for each calendar?! :wub:

What points can be claimed please?

[scrapdolly]

I guess it is a judgement call - you need to decide how simple they are and do they count as layouts. 8 x 8 size is fine.
I would say if they are the same you would only count them once. That was what we agreed whenthis issue came up before.

They cound like lovely gifts

[TwinTrouble]

Thank-You:wub:

[kelley coulson]

Qucik question. A lot of UKSers are doing the Weight Loss Journal is the slimmers forum so i have been asked what they count making the journal as. They have made a journal and will be filling a page per week on their progress. So, does it count as 25 points per month for the 4 pages per month and then nothing for the journal as its not a complete one (ie not all the pages are decorated etc etc)

[leigh11]

oooh A few of us are doing the A-Z journel and were wondering the same thing :D:D

[scrapdolly]

Not sure how the slimming journal would work - would it count as either a scrapping or an art journal. Will it be embellished etc.
If it really will then it would count as 25 points for the month.
The A-Z journal would be the same - 4 pages 25 points

However, if you are doingt he A - Z journal as a traditional scrapping page and it is 6 x 6 or bigger they can count as layouts. I know I am doing my A - Z in an 8 x 8 album as traditional scrap pages for example.

[leigh11]

cool, i think most of us will be doing either 8x8 or 8x11 so will count them as LO's!! so 10pts each-yes :D:D

can we get anything for making the actual journal??

[leigh11]

also with the a-z journal


if we did a double page with the letter on one side and the page the other would that just be a DLO so 20pts :D


or if we did 2 letters as above would that then have to count as the 25pts described in your post above!!!


can you tell me and the team are confused :wacko:

[scrapdolly]

Just having a letter on a page would not count as a layout.

You need to use your discretion and personal judgement as with anything.

You all know how much work goes into a normal layout. If you can hand on heart say it is the same, count it as a layout. If you can't, don't.

And remember the points thing is meant to be a bit of fun :)

Nope. your more than welcome to come and join the Alphabetties. We have a place spare at the moment and we're a relativly new team (started Oct)

Edited to add- here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=201986) is our team thread if you would link to come and join us.

[beckymischief]

where do you find teams looking for new members please?

[stardust]

Usually they advertise in the team chat section or Scrapdolly sets new teams up once there are enough people interested. I'm not sure but I think we have a place as Elyse couldn't join (see above). You would need to check with Kelley though.

[Kat the Cobbler]

If you're making duplicate layouts (e.g. a 12 x 12 layout for yourself and for A.N.Other) can you claim points for just one layout or both.

[jennyap]

Can anyone clarify how points work where a week falls across two months - i.e. which month do you claim them in?

Thanks!

[Nic-B]

Hi

Following on from Jenny's post, there has been a bit of confusion in our team about claiming points for the weekly challenges when a challenge week falls in between different months.

I have always collected challenge points on the basis that any weekly challenge LO's done during the week of the challenge are counted as that weeks challenge, regardless of whether there is a slight overlap from month to month. However, its been asked whether challenge points should be counted in the month you actually earnt them, i.e if w/k 4 challenge was done in January, points should be entered in Jan w/k 4, if done once we enter Feb, points should be entered in Feb wk 1.

Can anyone advise?

[leigh11]

i also do the points for the week they were set!!!!!
so if it was set Jan wk4 but you finished it in feb it goes onto Jan wk 4 points!!!
As long as it is completed in that week. If it is done after the next challenge is set then you can only claim for a LO, not the challenge itself
does that make sense?? :D:D:D

[Nic-B]

Yes it does!, thanks Leigh :)

[chookie]

Hi, How many points is the monthly house challenge worth please?

[leigh11]

i always assumed its just a LO/DLO but might be wrong :D

[scrapdolly]

Monthly house challenge is just normal single or double points for the individual but it earns house points for the house

You don't need to count those - I do. But they must be uploaded tot he house gallery to count

[theresa b]

one of my team mates has made herself one of those "word" books - each page is one letter... (like the ones you can buy from sponsors and decorate...)

so she has cut out the LOVE pages from chipboard and fully decorated it... it is 5 x 11 in size...


what would it count as for points...? :unsure:

[leigh11]

doubt it-it would count as an altered item :)

[scrapdolly]

If it is all decorated you could count the pages as single page layouts if they are scrapbook pages as they are big enough

[leigh11]

If it is all decorated you could count the pages as single page layouts if they are scrapbook pages as they are big enough

oooh i didn't know that, i'm just finishing one off ;) ;)

[essexcrafter]

Hi I made this album for my friend and team leader. Its a bo bunny album and I had to cover all the pages with paper as well as decorate and then put the photos in and embellish. Whilst I didn't make it for the points I was just wondering if i could claim anything for my team for completing this.
Thanks x

[leigh11]

post #34 says you can :D

[Monica]

Hi There

My team are making swap cards for each other all about us ie: contact details, likes dislikes etc.

We're making 9 each, one to be sent out to each team member So eventually we will have 9 different cards in return which we then bind into our own team booklets.

The cards are to be 6x4 inches and decorated both sides.

Just wondering if we can claim points for these??

Ta :lol:

[scrapdolly]

I'm afraid not - but it sounds like such a lovely idea to make for each other.

[ceruleanblue]

Hi Dolly,
I've just finished an 8x8 minibook which has the equivalent of 6 DLOs inside, plus the front and back covers. It's a mix of digi and traditional paper/cardstock/embellishments layouts. It's a bit more than a mini-book, and as it's bigger than 6x6 I'm not sure that I should claim it as a mini-book anyway:wacko: Can you let me know your thoughts on what points I should claim please?

Thanks!

[scrapdolly]

If you think they count as scrapbook pages (and it sounds like it) then you claim 6 DLO (more than a mini book anyway )

Hope that helps

[ceruleanblue]

ooh, thanks Dolly, that will bump my points up a bit this month:D

[Camper Girl]

Hi Just wondering if I can claim points for weekly challenge & a tag book both in the same week, or I only claim one set of points.

[leigh11]

Hi Just wondering if I can claim points for weekly challenge & a tag book both in the same week, or I only claim one set of points.

you can only claim the weekly challenge in the week it was set-other wise its just a LO(so either 10 or 20 pts-SLO or DLO) but you can claim for anything else when you do it :D

weekly challenge is 30pts if you do all of it, plus 10pts for doing a LO :D

[westiegirl]

One of my teamies has made a CD album all covered with pp with photos and embellished can she claim any points for this

[Mell_C]

how many points can i get for a maya road tab book

[scrapdolly]

Sorry - I need a little more information about it before I can tell you.
Not sure what one is, what the sizes are, how it is decorated/completed etc.

Then I will be able to tell you

[westiegirl]

What about the cd album one of my teamies made its fully decorated and embellished

[Mell_C]

This is wot the front of the tab book looks like. It is 8" from the top to the bottom.

Hope that helps

[scrapdolly]

I would say the Maya Road would count as 25 for a tag book or similar

The CD album - sorry - again not sure what you mean. I need a few more details to know what it is.

[westiegirl]

She has used old cds covered them both sides with pp added photos and embellished here is a pic of the front of it

[Piglit]

are there rules about how often you have to be on your teams chat thread?

[kelley coulson]

As far as i'm aware there isnt. I think its up to individual teams. I'm a team leader and we have some members that are on numerous times a day and others havent been on in the March thread yet (although i know why they havent been on)

I know some teams have a 2 week rule that they like to be contacted if your not online after 2 weeks. HTH

[scrapdolly]

There are most certainly NOT rules about this. As soon as you get rules like this you degenerate the whole team spirit.

All teams - and especially all team leaders - need to appreciate that some people are on line more than others and some people chat more than others.
It is NOT appropriate in any shape or form for a team leader to expect team mebers to chat any more or less than they are comfortable with.

Team leaders don't OWN their team, they are simply there to collate the points - the team belongs to everyone in it.

I make it very clear with every single team I set up (which are more than half of the points teams on the board currently) that everyone chats differnetly and those differences are to be respected by everyone in the team.

[Piglit]

could you please remind the tequila scrappers that there are no rules about how often you have to chat because I got a really nasty pm from the leader saying I had to leave the team as other had complained about me not being on there everyday.

I hope my post wasnt taken out of context. I didnt mean that team leaders had the right to remove people from teams if they hadnt been online for a certain amount of time etc. I meant that i know of some teams that like to be made aware if people are not going to be about for a certain amount of time - ie 2 weeks. In our team there is a lady who has a really poorly son. She wasnt online for weeks and hadnt posted in the team thread for 2 months. We as a team got worried about her so i contacted her to make sure everything was ok. I certainly wouldnt be suggesting that she left because of it. We also have members that only come on at weekends, thats also fine. We also have a member at the moment who is moving house, she isnt sure how long she will be offline for, but thats ok because we now wont worry about her as we know she wont be online for a bit. All we as a team ask, is that we would like to be informed if someone is going to be off line for ages, only so that we dont worry that they are ok. As a team, we all care about each other and get concerned.

I persoanlly feel there should be no pressure in a team over things like points and how much you chat etc. If you collect 100 points in a month, then brill, if you collect 10 then that is also brill - its 10 more points for the team.

I really hope that this has cleared things up - i really didnt mean anything to be taken the wrong way.

[Pink Chocolate]

could you please remind the tequila scrappers that there are no rules about how often you have to chat because I got a really nasty pm from the leader saying I had to leave the team as other had complained about me not being on there everyday.

can i just confirm yet again that the complaints i had about you WERE NOT about how many times you posted but due to the fact that you disappeared for weeks after only just joining and by then i had recruited more members and now have 11 members and as i then had 4 complaints about you from other team members about your abrupt and rude posts saying that for all you know we could not be who we say we are and so you dont want to tell anyone anything then as i had to let one go anyway it seemed only fair for it to be yourself.

I am sorry for this angry post but i have told you this now a couple of times and i have also told scrapdolly.

We have people who post very rarely too and i have not KICCKED THEM OFF THE TEAM as you put it so this proves that the amount of posts our team members post is not an issue.

[CelestialWillow]

I hope my post wasnt taken out of context. I didnt mean that team leaders had the right to remove people from teams if they hadnt been online for a certain amount of time

This isn't about you or your team. :) I too have been removed from a team for not posting, or, at least, for being on the UKS boards, but not stopping by to say hello.

I pointed out that sometimes I just stop by to upload, check galleries, look at other threads, etc and my ex-leader told me that wasn't being a team player and threw me off her team.

Honestly, I'm happier now I don't feel I have to be posting a few times every day.

[Piglit]

Personally Ive been put off the whole team thing in fact I dont really feel like being a member of UKS any longer either. I get enough grief from people in real life because I dont know what to say to them let alone getting it from people online too.

Also, I have never posted anything saying I dont want to tell the team members anything or posted anything rude. I tried so hard to be a member of the team but have been ostracised due to my lack of social skills.

[CelestialWillow]

[scrapdolly]

Kelley - your post was most certainly not taken the wrong way. I totally understood where you were coming from and what you meant and it was right.

Can we please now end the discussion from the last few posts or, if needed, continue it elsewhere as this thread needs to remain a questions thread where Bunny and I can post answers quickly.
Thanks ladies

[Wingus]

Hi, can anyone vote in the House Challenges or only the members of the House? There are some great layouts that I'd love to put a vote to!! Thanks.

[scrapdolly]

The vote is just for members of that house - sorry

[Wingus]

Oh well, never mind. I'll just add nice comments to their gallery! Thanks Scrapdolly.

[karen433]

You have probably been asked this a thousand times so I apologise for asking again.
I have made an ablum for a friend's birthday 10"x6". Decorated it but no photos - they are for her to put in. Can I claim points for this and if so what? Likewise I made the accordian book from the cc decorated but no photos yet.
Thanks in advance.:)

[westiegirl]

One of my teamies has done a castle book HERE (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=158810&cat=500&ppuser=27764) how many points can she claim for it
thanks

[Teaghen]

Can I ask what I do as there is no column for the week 5 challenge on the spreadsheet. Do I add a new column in?

[leigh11]

Can I ask what I do as there is no column for the week 5 challenge on the spreadsheet. Do I add a new column in?

just combine it with wk 4:D thats what i've done in the past :D

[scrapdolly]

Castle book (which is wonderful) is 50 points for a mini book

You can only count mini books which are finished. So maybe the 10 x 6 which is decorated but not finished should get half points. rather than 50 points for a mini book I suggest you claim for 25 points like a tag book etc.
For week 5 challenges just combine or put in extra LO points to make the difference. It just happens there are 5 weeks sometimes.

[Teaghen]

Thanks :)

[karen433]

Thank you :)

[westiegirl]

Thanks dolly it is a beautiful book she worked hard on that one :)

Maybe missed the answer somewhere but do you get to midnight on the Sunday of a challenge week to upload?
Thanks
Sonja

[leigh11]

i think as long as its uploaded before the next weeks challenge-i.e monday morning, then its ok! But midnight would be a good bet :D

[scrappybunny]

yep, midnight is the deadline :)

[Louieedwards]

Do digital layouts count as point earning layouts? And would a maze book be considered a mini book?

[leigh11]

as far as i know-digi counts as a LO:D

and as far as i'm aware a maze book is 25pts (same as a tag book):D

[Louieedwards]

Cool what about a paperbag book would that be a mini book???

[leigh11]

Cool what about a paperbag book would that be a mini book???

thats 30pts:D

[Louieedwards]

cool ty - sorry I have another question - how do Cjs earn you points - is it points for every entry you complete?

[leigh11]

cool ty - sorry I have another question - how do Cjs earn you points - is it points for every entry you complete?

yep!!! when you make it, you get 25pts, and then for every entry you do you get another 25!!!!so when you start it-you get 50pts:D

[Louieedwards]

Oh cool - best add another 25 points to my list!

[leigh11]

Oh cool - best add another 25 points to my list!

:D:D:D:D

[scrappybunny]

from the Rules & Guidance thread:


2. Art & Circle Journals – You can earn 25 points for each Art journal / circle journal entry that you complete. An entry is whatever you enter into one persons journal be it 1,2 or even 4 pages not points per page completed. So you could do 1 page in one journal & earn the 25 points but in the next journal your entry could be 4 pages but this would still only be worth 25 points. The reason that Journals are worth more points than most other things is because they are more time consuming. An exception for Journals is when you start your own Journal then you would earn 25 points for making/covering/decorating the Journal & another 25 for completing your entry

[scrappybunny]

I am not sure the paperbag book would be 30 points:

6. Minibooks, Sarabooks, etc and fully decorated exploding boxes – These are now worth a set amount of points rather than being treated as layouts. Each minibook, sarabook, accordion fold full album etc will be worth 50 points regardless of how many pages they have in them etc. You may not count pages in these books towards your monthly layout target. A 'mini book' is defined as a sarabook or similar, or any mini-album of smaller than 6x6. People do, however, need to use their discretion when submitting. A mini book represents a considerable amount of work. Consider what you have made and if, in terms of time, detail, embellishments, journalling etc it really does count for 50 points. For example, a tiny keyring mini book would not count for 50 points nor would a mini book left blank of pictures and journalling for people to fill in.

7. Handmade Albums – If you make an album totally from scratch then you can earn yourself 30 points. These must be albums that hold page protectors & not minibooks,sarabooks etc

[scrappybunny]

Do digital layouts count as point earning layouts? And would a maze book be considered a mini book?

A digi layout does count, but the team challenges can sometimes specify certain techniques which arent possible, so you may not always be able to claim the extra points iykwim

from the Guidance & Advice thread:
Do Digital pages count?
The answer is OF COURSE
Digital layouts, both single and double, get the same points as paper single and double pages; 10 and 20 points respectively.
There is, however, a big difference in challenges. The teams that set the challenges have the right to set whatever they want - we are all just grateful that they set them at all. Often the things they specify cannot be done digitally. For example a challenge may have points for embossing, for using rubber stamps, for adding a keepsake like a lock of hair, for including a handmade envelope or a mini book. Clearly those are things that you cannot do digitally. You could put a digital envelope on, but it is not the same as making a handmade envelope. You could mimic stamping but it is not rubber stamping.
Digital scrappers need to accept that they can, of course, do the challenges, but often cannot earn all 30 bonus points and should not, on trust, claim them.

[Louieedwards]

Cool beans ta muchly!

[leigh11]

I am not sure the paperbag book would be 30 points:




oh, i had it on my list when i took over as team leader:( what would it be then-so i can adjust my first post on the team thread ( i keep it on the 1st post so everyone knows what the points are!)

[scrappybunny]

I've put the info above in my post Leigh :)

hth


this is the only other bit that might be relevant
4. Tag books & Accordian Albums & Maze books . A tag book (do a gallery search for examples) or an accordian-fold book, usually with about 4 pages; each page is a decorated pocket and holds a decorated tag. Hand made, decorated and filled tag & accordian books are worth 25pts. Please note they should be finished. If you are making blanks as gifts these would not count.

[leigh11]

:D cool-so its 50 then;) will amend my post:D

Ta bunny:D

[scrappybunny]

I'm going to get it confirmed and added to the Guidance & Advice post so everyone knows :)

[scrappybunny]

okay - update on paperbag books - they would count as a minibook so long as they are stuffed (ie with pages) and decorated

however, as with all minibooks, the individual pages do NOT count for points, its a set number of points for the whole item

[Pink Chocolate]

i dont know where to ask this so i am taking a plunge and opting here but if its wrong maybe you can steer me in the correct place

when collecting points you can get 4 points for using the font of the week, can you tell me is this 5 points for using it no matter how many layouts you use it on or if you use it on say 3 layouts do you get 5 points for each lo ie 15 points

thank you

[Pink Chocolate]

can anyone help me at all?

[joanne26b]

I'm not sure but I think it is each instance. So a weekly challenge which uses FOTW would be 35points, a SLO would be 15 points and a DLO 25 points. Hopefully someone else will confirm or deny me:D

You can claim for font of the week once only

Oh ok :D i was wrong then :lol::lol:

Oh thanks. I don't think I've ever used it more than once in a week anyway:)

[Ali M]

hi..
Ive recently made 2 BIA books..both larger than 6 x 6 ...Ive then added a LO to each page..I can gain points for each LO cant I?

And can I gain points for the actual 'album' ive made...?if so how many..?Ive read through the points info more than once but cant seem to figure it out!

many thanks
Ali

[scrapdolly]

Any page 6 x 6 or bigger counts as a single LO for points

You cant claim for the album if you are claiming for each of the layouts in it.

[Ali M]

thanks scrapdolly..do you happen to know what points we claim for Shimelles 25th day of the month challenge/project..?

[leigh11]

what about a CD mailer album-decorated with photos etc:D how many points?

[scrapdolly]

I am not sure what you mean - can you show me a picture to help me figure it out

[leigh11]

I am not sure what you mean - can you show me a picture to help me figure it out

[leigh11]

it was made using these

http://www.craft-emporium.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5432

(don't worry i'm still on the case for a proper piccie:D:D

[scrapdolly]

If they are bigger than 6 x 6 then you could count the cover and the inside as LO's I guess so 2 x 10 points. Other than that I am afraid no points (and very sad as I have made similar things though not with the pre-made mailers)

[Quackas]

im struggling to find the team points thread so i can tell the girls what points they can claim for LOs etc... was it deleted in the cull??

With weekly challenges you can claim upto 30 points from each parts of the challenge set... but can you also claim for SLO or DLO as well?

[leigh11]

yes you get the points for a LO too:D

[clamar]

Thanks Leigh!

[leigh11]

:D you're welcome:D

[Wingus]

I want to do a BOM by altering CDs. Can I claim these as SLOs? If not, this will be an ongoing project, so can I claim it as a full album when I've eventually finished it?!?!

Can anyone confirm we get 20pts for each of the Scrap Your Day months?

[scrapdolly]

Hi
You would have to wait till it was finished and claim as an album I guess.

You get normal points for Scrap Your Day so long as they are 6 x 6 or bigger so yes, if it is a double page you get 20 points

[Wingus]

Thanks ScrapDolly!

[zaranth55]

can you claim points for an exploding box? and if so, how many? ta in advance!

[scrappybunny]

from the 'All You Need To Know (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=196938)' thread

6. Minibooks, Sarabooks, etc and fully decorated exploding boxes
These are now worth a set amount of points rather than being treated as layouts. Each minibook, sarabook, paperbag books, accordion fold full album etc will be worth 50 points regardless of how many pages they have in them etc. You may not count pages in these books towards your monthly layout target. A 'mini book' is defined as a sarabook or similar, or any mini-album of smaller than 6x6. These books MUST be decorated to count for points.

[Petra]

One of my teamies has done 10 6x6 pages (each fully decorated on both sides, so 20 sides in total) for a swap she is in, however they do not have photos - these are to be added by the recipients when swapped out.

Do these count for the team points, please?

[Petra]

Just bumping - I need to do the points for our team asap, so I would be grateful for people's views on my previous post. Thanks!

[scrapdolly]

I guess the answer would be that without the pictures etc they are not scrapbook pages and so wouldn't count

I would have discussed this with Fi but I know you want an answer asap

[Wrightboysmum]

Hi. I was wondering about the recipe cards done for swaps. Do they get points? They are 6 x 6 with a photo and decoration but I'm not sure I would call them LOs in the traditional sense. Also if they are all the same design would you get points for the design LO rather than each one? Thanks

[scrapdolly]

They need to be what you would call LO's to count - though the 6 x 6 size is right. And if they were all the same even if they were LO's you could only claim for one

[Wrightboysmum]

Thanks Dolly, thats what I thought.

[kelley coulson]

What is a maze boom counted as for points?

[leigh11]

they are 25pts :D

[kelley coulson]

Thanks Leigh.

[leigh11]

you're welcome:D

[CelestialWillow]

In the Guidance thread it says that a : 'mini book' is defined as a sarabook or similar, or any mini-album of smaller than 6x6.

I'm making a book that's a bit larger than that at 6.5 x 7.5. Is this still defined as a minibook as I will be making covers, binding etc as I would for a smaller than 6x6 minibook. Or is each page going to be classed as a LO as each page will consist of conventional scrapping?

Thanks!

[scrapdolly]

You'd be better to count them as LO at 10 points each as they are bigger than 6 x 6

[CelestialWillow]

Thanks Dolly! :D

[Petra]

I need some urgent advice about submitting July points.:o

My PC has died and I cannot open the Excel document on the laptop I am using. Well, the file opens but the data is corrupted and the macros (?) don't work. Is there another way I can submit the points?

[scrapdolly]

Try re-downloading the spreadsheet which is in the House membership thread. Might be better to use a fresh one.

Filing that send a written breakdown just not on the spreadsheet to the House leader so for example

Scrapdolly 6 SLO =10
5 DLO = 100
1 mini book = 50
Total 160

etc

[Petra]

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.:D

[Petra]

I can open the new spreadsheet with no problems, but how do I unprotect it to enter the team name and member names in the relevant fields? I haven't been able to guess the password. <_<

[Gottacraft]

Petra, I think you can change it under the instructions tag .. you just type the name in the purple section and that follows through. I think that right :)

[Petra]

Doh!

Thanks, Sandra!:love:

[munchkin_pirate]

Hi
I was just wondering how many points (if any) you got for a decorated circular mini book as shown on monday in the sultry stash bash?

[leigh11]

mini books are 50 points :D

[munchkin_pirate]

Thanks, yay lots of points hehe :D

[Taximumuk]

Could someone tell me where to find this please?

Many thanks

[scrapdolly]

This is the thread with all the answers

Thanks - that is really useful.

However, I have read all through it and I still can't find a link to where the FOTW is posted!

[Quackas]

Font of the week is on the front page.... if you look on the homepage on the left hand side it should be there... it is this week 3 wee bobbly heads... its a dingbats font this week i think....

[Quackas]

you're very very welcome :)

let me know if you are stuck on anything else :)

[Wingus]

Does the weekly challenge HAVE to be a layout?!? I have an idea for a minibook for this week but I'm not sure if I can use it as I've only ever seen layouts entered into the weekly challenge.

[Wingus]

Anyone?!?!

[Petra]

I have a query about CJs.

Would a CJ made from fabric, rather than the more usual paper/card be worth the same, both for making the journal and also for each entry?

[alison 2]

can the team setting the weekly challenge still claim the 30 points for their own LO's??

[scrapdolly]

Yes to both Petra and Alison :)

[Petra]

Thanks, Scrapdolly. :thanks:

[alison 2]

Thanks, Iwill pass on the good news to my teamies!

[katie squirrel]

Yes to both Petra and Alison :)


Oh... has this changed now??:blink: I know when we asked before last time we set a challenge, we were told that we could only claim the points for the LO if we had created the LO before the challenge went live - but if any other team members completed the challenge in the week, then they could claim 30pts.

So it has changed now has it and we can claim the full 30 pts - seems much fairer..........:D

[scrapdolly]

Yes - been reviewed as it seems fairer as I am sooooooooooo grateful for teams setting the challenges :wub:

[mjm]

Hi!
Don't know if I'm being thick dense or blind but can't find the September house challenge! Teamies are asking about it, can anyone help a befuddled ninja????? Ta muchly!!

[stillcrafting]

My team were wondering that too

[mjm]

Phew glad its not just me then !!!!

[stillcrafting]

No, it's not just you :lol:

[scrapdolly]

There wll be some info for you shortly

[stillcrafting]

:thanks:

[~Karen~]

This may of been asked before - but can someone tell me do you get any points for recipe cards please???

x Karen x

[scrapdolly]

Sorry - no points for them

[Huoliuhi]

bump then lurk as soon as possible

[fairyqueen]

I am probably being stupid and blind but is there a list of points anywhere on the forum?

PLEASE IGNORE AS I HAVE NOW FOUND IT LOL :D

[Bluffy78]

HI
Is there still a house chat thread?

Also how can we change a team from points collecting to just a social group - a few people have disappeared and 2 left, all since the new social groups came up, no one goes into the team thread anymore :-(

[scrapdolly]

You need to PM me and the house leader with the team name and the fact you want to stop collecting points then I will remove you from the lists

[Wingus]

I made this (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=175421&ppuser=37362) book with 4 (8 individual pages) 6x6 pages. Do I claim it as a mini-book or individual pages? Do the front and cover count as pages if the latter? If it helps, it is similar to the book that was made in the Stand By Me class from the Oscars CC.

Thanks.

[scrapdolly]

It would count as a mini book

Cute puppy xx

[Wingus]

Cool! Thanks ScrapDolly!! :thanks:

[samsq]

How many points (if any) can be claimed for a star book?

Thanks

[stillcrafting]

Hello, I've made a birthday book (http://stillcrafting.blogspot.com/2008/10/craft-your-resolution.html) and wondered if there were any points for them please? You can see it here on my blog (http://stillcrafting.blogspot.com/2008/10/craft-your-resolution.html) along with how I made it.
:thanks: for your help

[Jimjams]

Are non-points collecting teams still in the houses and can their members still enter the house challenges?

[ljrn]

Sneaks in to help out - sorry - they are removed from the house lists as the houses are solely for points collectors. There is nothing to stop members doing the challenges but they need to upload to their own gallery rather than the house gallery - and therefore can't be considered for the prizes. Sneaks back out again :lol:

It's very pretty but I am afraid not points scoring

[stillcrafting]

Just as well I didn't do it for the points then :lol: Thanks xxx

[gillsil]

Hi, I posted here for clarification of points but have managed to answer my own questions - thanks!

[FaithUK]

Karen - when do we claim the points for our Ali Edwards December books? Will it be at the end of December when the whole thing is completed?

[scrapdolly]

Can you clarify what the ali edwards books are then I can help you

[FaithUK]

It's this one - http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=245717

We've made our books and will be adding photos, journalling etc as we go through the month, like a daily journal.

Also, can you clarify what category they would go under, please.

Ta x

[scrapdolly]

If the pages are 6 x 6 or bigger and you can justifiably call them scrapbook pages (That comes down to individual discretion and you need to determine if there is as much work as a scrapbook page) then they count as single layouts

If they are smaller then I guess you could go for 50 as a mini book.

[FaithUK]

That's what I thought - just wanted to make sure! Thanks :D

[feline]

Hello

I'm doing the JYC and its 6x6 so I can include these as a SLO...to be honest some of them have taken me hours :blink: and I've agonised over them as much as a 12x12 layout and how many can I get to before I need to email evidence of the layouts :unsure:

Thank you :)

[scrapdolly]

If they are 6 x 6 or bigger and you can judge them as SLO then claim them as such

claims of 39 or more have to be verified by sending photos of each to scrappybunny

[feline]

Thank you and phew its just shy of that amount :D

[snowgoose]

think I posted this in the wrong place initially so sorry for the duplication.
How many points collecting teams can one person belong to?

[Mary Buttons]

Hi Snowgoose I think you will find that it is only 1 team that collects points that you can belong to and claim the points though you can chat on others as much as you like, if you have been invited to come over to their SG, we have several people on our SG who are not part of our team, but, as we call them Litter Mates (we are the ScrappyCats)

[tigerlady]

I'm new at this House Leader stuff so can someone please tell me- who is meant to put up the final House poll? We need one!

[scrapdolly]

If Fi doesn't do it one of the house leaders usually does the honours

Sorry - am just dashing out

[tigerlady]

Thanks, I'll leave it for a bit longer as I know Fi is active at present so it may be on her list.

[scrappybunny]

yes, its me. I couldnt find all four house polls though :wacko:

I'll go check again :)

[tigerlady]

Sorry Fi I've done it!

Points Question: I got one of these Bobunny word albums (http://www.bobunny.com/mywords/Believe.html) for Christmas. How many points would I claim for fully decorating it? It's a lot bigger than a regular mini book as 5 of the pages are larger than 6x6 - one of them is 6x12. I'm intending on decorating and having pics on each page. So it that just 50 points or something else?

Thanks.

[scrapdolly]

When I made mine I claimed it as a mini book

I know some pages were bigger, but some were smaller too so I guess it sort of evened out

[CelestialWillow]

Thanks Dolly! Minibook it is. :)

[Wingus]

Hi Scrapdolly!

Just wondering if there is a difference in the House points in the House Results and Team Results? I'm assuming the House Results points are only the sum of those LOs that are submitted for the House Challenge set by the sponsors and the House results in the Team Results thread are the results of all the combined teams, is that right?
