Since many of us are on Facebook, naturally there is a Facebook Challenge to complete. But I'm going to make you do a little work for this challenge; you'll have to go to the Stuff to Scrap Facebook Page & look for a post around November1 for the instructions. Post your layouts in the November Facebook Challenge thread to earn your points. This challenge will net you 5 points & if you use 90% or more of any current STS products you'll earn an extra 5 points. Here's B is for Brothers by Kimberly27 using Tailgate Party by In the Small Things & a template from the Peek-a-boo Template Pack by Queen Wild Scraps.
A good way to flex those designer muscles is the Color Challenge where a color palette is posted for everyone to play with. Your first option is to make a mini kit to share with the other forum members; the kit needs to remain free for the entire month for members to grab, after which you can sell it or expand it. You'll earn 10 points if you go this route. If you like making quick pages, you can do so with any of the minis provided in the thread & then post it to share with everyone. This option will net you 5 points. Please post download links for kits & quick pages in the thread; do not direct people to your blog for the download.
The last option is to make a layout that uses colors that match the palette, you can use any of the mini kits provided or use any kit that features the colors. This last option will earn you 5 points. Head over to the November Color Challenge thread to see the palette & get creating! On the left is a mini kit by ptktj that you can pick up in the thread; on the right is Crazy Cale by beljed using Be Thankful by Digi-Designs by Nicole.
Ever had a song that you just couldn't get out of your head? It happens to our designers all the time so the Song Lyric Challenge was created. Each month a new song is posted & then you'll need to use some or even all of the lyrics in your layout. This month's song is Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrman; head over to the November Song Lyric Challenge thread for all the lyrics & start scrapping. This challenge will net you 10 points & if you use 90% or more of any current STS products you'll earn an extra 5 points! On the left is Dance by Dennise using Bohemian Rhapsody by Amy Dane Designs; on the right is Sewage by Deanna using Just Moved by This Little Missy.
Find yourself using the same font over & over & over? It's not a bad thing but it's always good to try out some new fonts & if you participate in the Font Challenge, you'll get a chance to play with a font that you might never have seen otherwise. This is a hard challenge for the designers as there are so many great free fonts to chose from; for November, Carissa has chosen Clementine Sketch. Head over to the November Font Challenge to download the font & get started. This challenge will earn you 5 points & if you use 90% or more of any current STS products you'll earn an extra 5 points! On the left is Scarily Cute by Hazel using Kooky Spookies by The Scrappy Kat; on the right is Bake Me A Cake. by Kmshep01 using Breakfast in Bed by 3 Li'l Monsters Designs.
A great way to see how layouts can turn out so different from the same set of instructions is the Recipe Challenge. Every has such a unique take on the recipe given, it's really quite neat to see the finished layouts. This month's recipe comes from Jodi & you have a choice between three different recipes. You can do either a pie, cake, or cookie recipe; you'll have to head over to the November Recipe Challenge thread to get the specific recipes. Remember that you need to include all the recipe elements, post your finished layout in the November Recipe Challenge thread. For completing the challenge you'll earn 10 points for this challenge & if you use 90% or more of any current STS products you'll earn an extra 5 points! On the left is Playing in the Leaves by megvill using Harvest of Memories by Shel Belle Scraps; on the right is Seaside by BriannasScrapper using Serenity by Designs by Snowlady.

There will be a speed scrap today, November 17, at 1 PM PT / 2 PM MT / 3 PM CT / 4 PM ET & will be hosted by Christin of Lovely Creations. Come join Christin & other forum members in the chat room or follow along in the speed scrap thread.
The Fine Print: You'll earn points on almost all of the challenges & when you reach 500 points, you'll receive a $5.00 gift card to the Stuff to Scrap store to purchase anything that catches your fancy. Points roll over from month to month & do not expire! Please remember that to earn any extra bonus points, you must state in your challenge post that you've used 90% or more current STS products or you will not earn the bonus points. There is no double dipping with challenges, i.e. you cannot use a layout made for a speed scrap for one of the monthly challenges or use one layout for two challenges. The only exception is a double page layout where each side is for a different challenge. The use of quick pages for challenge layouts are not allowed, all layouts must be made from scratch or with a template. You are most welcome to make a post in the November Challenge Round-up thread to keep track of all the challenges & points you've earned. As always, any layouts featured in this post are linked to the gallery for easy love leaving.
