~~* House Challenges *~~

[scrappybunny]

Grab your passport and prepare to board as we take you on a Scrapping Challenge like never before.

Your House Challenges can now earn you Scrap Miles as you take to the air and visit different countries with your layouts. But don't worry, its not as scary as it sounds. Each month you will be given a new country to visit, and can earn Scrap Miles for your House.

Each challenge lasts for Weeks 1 and 2 and should be uploaded to your House Gallery. This Gallery will be emptied at the end of each month so you may want to keep a copy of your layouts for putting into your own Gallery.

Each layout will be worth 10 Miles for your House, you do not need to worry about collecting or reporting these, we will arrange that via the Gallery, which is why your entries MUST be uploaded to your House Gallery.

House Challenge layouts will still give you points for your team. You may claim the usual 10/20 points for your single/double layouts. You may enter more than once if you choose to.

During Week 3, your fellow house mates will choose the LO they want to put forward as the House Entry. Your House Leader will be setting up the poll for Week 3.

Finally, during Week 4, everyone gets to vote on the final four layouts. Each layout in the final four will earn extra Scrap Miles.

At the end of the year (December 2006), the House with the most points will be the overall winner.

So watch out on Feb 2nd for your very first House Challenge

[debbie70]

Erm I trying to get organised for this trip ...... please can we have a few clues .... must we pack for luxury .... as in stillettos and cocktail gowns .... or will we be roughing it ....as in hiking boots and ground sheets ..... :unsure:

[scrapdolly]

Ok Debbie
You'd like some clues eh!

Well - it will involve scrapping, it will involve glue and paper and maybe 'bits' or alternatively it may just involve a computer.
It will involve photos or images and travel and lots of laughter and fun

and it all has to fit into your carry on luggage for the trip of course.

[Caz]

Oh dear, I don't travel light!! :unsure:

[honeypip]

Please, PLEASE don't tell me we are going to rough it - I'm more of a stillettos and cocktail gown gal! :P

[scrapdolly]

Oh 5 star all the way - except for those in economy of course

Tents and groundhseets anyone?

[peechy]

lolol!!

sounds great!! well done fi and karen!

[craftyslh]

[snipper]

Will I manage without? I can swim. Just about.

[Hysteri-CAL]

I haven't got a passport. Can't afford one. :(
Will I manage without? I can swim. Just about.

[Jay]

Please, PLEASE don't tell me we are going to rough it - I'm more of a stillettos and cocktail gown gal! :P

I'm with you there. :D

[Chrism]

Me too, I love glittery dresses and stilletoes so I can Salsa the night away wherever I am..........

[Hysteri-CAL]

I'm an ex-Guide Leader - so i'm used to roughing it !!

Pass me the tent !!!!!!!!!!

[Chrism]

didnt do guides - tried the scouts but they wouldnt let me in - said I would be a distraction - can't think why :rolleyes: :lol:

[Hysteri-CAL]

Chris - can we all use that green sparkly Green Buttons LO Challenge siggy ? Or is it just for team leaders ?

[Chrism]

No anyone can use it honey - its only for the challenge we are doing at the moment I think - Debu did it for us but don't know where the link is - its somewhere between page 1 and this page of the green button house thread;) sorry can't be more specific - will try and find it for you :)

[suffolkscrapper]

I think the link is this lo challenge sparkle (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/daunderhill/greenbl3.gif) put that in your sig and bobs your unkle i think is the expression :D
FYI for the future if you need to know the link of an image put your mouse over it and right click - the properties info comes up and that will give you the web address of that image :D hope this helps

[Hysteri-CAL]

Thanks Chris - i won't use it then at the moment, coz i've not prepared for this one, although I have got the photos .... oh poo ... shall I, shan't I, shall I, shan't I !!!

God I'm hooked !!!!

[scrappybunny]

is that a challenge specific for your team Chris? oooh off to have a read :D

edited to add: doh! its the one I already asked you about! :lol:

[Jay]

Go on Carol, you know you want to.

[Chrism]

Go on Carole you know you can :)

[gilly_dragon]

Don't forget, there are prizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you want to Carole, you do, you do, you really really do!!!!!

[Chrism]

:lol: :lol: good morning honey - our tv doesnt want to play this morning and I so wanted to catch up with inch loss - oh and I have lost half a stone now - am really motivated now......

see you later :)

[suffolkscrapper]

Go Carole - Go Carole lol you just know the nooby boobies are the travelling types lol :D

[Mollymoo]

Can I just ask if there are some who for various reasons cant upload LO with photos on is it ok to leave off the photo?

[gilly_dragon]

I see no reason why you can't leave off the photos, but you could also blur the photos in a photo software, and then no-one can see what the photos are of.

Hope that helps Mary

[JAIME GIRL]

[Elsonbabe]

Do I take it that it'll be posted seperate to this thread, and all houses are doing the same challenge??....

and to keep in line, I am ex Guide, Venture, Cub Leader and Scout Instructor...So tents and groundsheets are a must, although a camp bed is also prefered these days:lol:...plus I haven't got a passport either:(

[Chrism]

your eggs intrigue me, may have to stay up till midnight to see them hatch :lol:

I think that they may well start another thread for the actual challenge as it would probably get lost in this one :) It will be up to your house leaders to point you in the right direction. :)

[scrumpy66]

Sounds interesting!!

[suffolkscrapper]

Only a few hours till the 2nd - wonder if we will know at midnight lol! Im off to crop tonight so i shall check back when I get home lol!

[Chrism]

[scm2]

Waiting with anticipation. (if thats how you spell it!!!)

[Jilly]

Its there, its there...............we're going to France!!!!! whooopppeee - been there quite a few times so off to look through my pics!!

[Chrism]

have some photos but I havent been to france DH has though - so will raid the photos.......

[gilly_dragon]

I have travelled through France, but now photos though, might have to interest Chris into a weekend in France, how about it Chris????? Your DH can pay for us both as a birthday treat for you (and me) he did say he didn't know what to buy you?!?!?!?!

Other than that I will have to get searching the internet for some pics, or think of a plausible French connection to any of my own photos!!!

Off to have a think!!!!

[suffolkscrapper]

I dont know why but when I read it I thought "Toulous Letrec (sp?) and thought Moulin Rouge so Im going to try and interpret a french painting or something.. I dont know - need to do some research i think lol :D

[bizzylizzy]

This sounds very complex -but fun - I have lots of pics from around the globe just never got around to scrapping them yet..This would certainly give me a challenge.

[gilly_dragon]

I have uploaded my take on the French theme,

[gilly_dragon]

Sam thanks for your comments, yours is pretty fantastic too, even if the photos aren't of France!!

Well done!

[InspireSpirit]

I've been unsuccessfully trying to upload my piccie for this Challenge. Have I missed the deadline. Been trying for the last 45 minutes and keep getting page unavailable.

[fiona3103]

You've not missed the deadline it's Wednesday night, I'm sure, ( to get the LO's into Gallery).

[Jilly]

Sally - I think the deadline for the French Challenge is Wednesday - no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong??

[InspireSpirit]

Thanks. I'll have another go.

[InspireSpirit]

I've managed to post now. Thanks.
