2025-26 *Challenge Reward System Info*

2025-26 Monthly Challenge REWARDS:
  • Complete any 10 challenges for the month, and receive a $7.00 Coupon towards any Challenge Reward Collab.
  • We will feature a new Challenge Reward collab each month and you can earn that here first (before it is released in the shop) OR you can use your coupon towards any of the previous Challenge Reward Collab in the shop!
  • Simply visit the Challenge Reward Collabs section of the shop, pick one collab you want and use your reward coupon to collect your reward.

2025-26 Monthly Challenge Rules:
  • Challenges run from the 1st day of the month to the last day of the month.
  • All challenge layouts must consist of at least 80% GS products from current GS designers.
  • Templates count at 15% of your total.
  • If a designer departs from the shop, you have 30 days post closing to use their products as part of the 80% current designer rule. It is essential to choose products from a current GS designer in the following month.
  • Daily Download and Welcome Wagon products are permitted (refer to individual challenge rules for specific guidelines on usage, such as the Designer Spotlight Challenge).
  • Speed Scraps and Chats DO NOT contribute to your challenge rewards. Nevertheless, your host will typically offer enjoyable goodies for all attendees of their Speed Scrap or Chat events.
  • Each challenge must feature a unique layout. In other words, you cannot use the same layout for more than one challenge.
  • Participants are responsible for tracking their completed challenges. Locate the monthly tracking thread in the "Cookie Jar" and adhere to the provided guidelines.
  • Be sure to read the instructions from each host, as you may also receive some participation prizes along the way.
  • Rewards will be distributed after the 5th of the month. Layouts posted after the last day of the challenge month will not be considered for any rewards.

2025-26 ACCUMULATION Rules:
  • You CAN accumulate points for the challenge collab.
  • You will receive the Reward for the month in which you COMPLETE your 10 challenges.
  • Challenge points OVER 10 WILL NOT be carried over to the next month.
For Example:
  • You do 5 in March, 2 in April and 6 in May - you would get the May collab.
  • You do 7 in March and 4 in April - you get the April collab
  • You do 10 each month you get EACH Collab!! (BEST DEAL!!)

Oh wow, I think this is super cool! Thanks for the update!
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

If you create your own template does that count against you % wise?
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

Are Guest Designers, such as Kimeric, allowed?
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

If it is YOUR work, I would say it would NOT count against you % wise. It is your creations so its all YOU. As long as you use something in GingerScraps (80%) along with your design, it is fine....

Hello!
Are we allowed to use retired products from current GS designers?
Thanks

Yes! As long as it is a current designer, you can use anything they have created, past or present, no matter where you got it from (GS or another shop or a blog freebie etc).

I'm sorry that I missed this question, I see that AnneMarie answered you and she is correct, if you create your own template, that does not count in your percentage. That is just you scrapping! :)

Thank you so much for the explanation! :)
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

Hi!
If I took a previous Challenge Reward Collab, not from the prior month, am I allowed to use it for the Created With Rewards challenge?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I had not thought about that with the new reward system, but I think its best to just use one of the two posted, If I open it up to and GBL Reward Collab, I think it might make the challenge a bit more confusing. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Thank you so much for clarification.
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

Can you use multiple weeks in Project 365 and have it count towards the 10 layouts per month? Example; this month using Week 18 and Week 19 and having it count as two layouts for the month of May to make the needed 10 layouts to get the challenge layout. Thank you for the response.

The 365 challenge can count for 4 layouts towards your monthly goal. One point (cookie) per each unique layout, if you make one layout for each week of the month.
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

Can you use a template in Daily Download, Created with Rewards, and Buffet. For example the 80% and 20% rule? It states you can in Designer spotlight but not in the others. Thanks for the answer.

Yes, templates are allowed in Daily Download, Created with Rewards, and Buffet challenges :)
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

I hate to keep asking questions but I rather be told before I make a layout then after. Not in your forum but other stores I have had to redo layouts and that is not good for me. The question is in Project 365 I have noticed in the last 2 months it states you must use FWP collab or challenge collab to qualify. Is this new? It did not state that when I last made a layout in April for that challenge.
Thank as always for taking the time to answer my many questions.

That was just a copy and paste error, sorry about that! I will go take a look at the posts and get the corrected. Thank you for letting us know :)
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

I completed about 18 challenges last month. My post in the Cookie Jar does not have a count marked like everyone else? I'm just wondering what I did wrong or if I should even bother completing challenges.
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

The number of challenges is put there by you, not us. And yes, absolutely keep doing the challenges, the prizes are great especially this month with the Scrap-a-thon happening!!

Thank you- there is nothing that says we should add that phrase about the count. It says to track our own but I thought adding them to the list was all that was necessary. Appreciate the info. Have a great day.
 
Re: NEW 2024 *Challenge Reward System Info*

August was my first month participating in the Forum, and I went all-out on the Scrap-A-Thon (so much fun!). I plan to do at least a few layouts this month (but I'm on Grandma babysitting duty out of state, so we'll see what I can manage). Anyway, my question is how do we get notified of the prizes for participation? Is a notice sent to us with coupon codes? Does it get posted in our "Bonuses" tab in our account? Appreciate the info - thanks!

So happy that you were able to play along on the Scrap-A-Thon! That is amazing!!
For the prizes and rewards... you will get a few different messages from me and Missi (our site manager) on or before the 8th of the month with all your rewards earned and/or prizes won :)
