October Blog Theme and a Bonus Challenge

Posted by Lydia Tarbox under Challenges

Lydia introduces October’s blog theme, including a bonus challenge.

Hey there Sweet Shoppers! I don’t know about you, but I am just completely stunned by the fact that October is here. 2013 is going by way too fast! Before you know it, Christmas will be here, and we’ll be ringing in 2014. And, since we still have a lot of great stuff we want to show you on the blog, we decided to make October all about holidays.

Throughout the month, we’ll be bringing you lots of great information to take you through the rest of the year and all the holidays that will be upon us before we know it. You’ll get layout inspiration, gift ideas, hybrid project inspiration, product showcases, photography ideas, and some other fun surprises. You won’t want to miss a thing!

As usual, we have an extra bonus challenge for you this month as well. This month, I want to hear about one of your favorite holiday memories. It doesn’t have to be a memory about Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas . . . it can be ANY holiday. Just scrap a layout about a special holiday memory and upload it to the Sweet Shoppe Gallery.

Blog Bonus Challenge: Earn 1 bonus point for your October Portfolio by scrapping a layout about a favorite holiday memory. Upload your layout to the Pinterest Portfolio Challenge Gallery and list it as a Blog Bonus Challenge in your tracker post.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll enjoy everything we have in store for you this month!
