Weekly Challenge hosts - sign up here PLEASE READ

*** ATTN: PLEASE READ********

In an effort to make Mousescrappers an even BETTER place for everyone, we've divided up the challenges and they will each have an "owner" who is responsible for keeping the lists updated, reminding people of their challenges, answering questions and all of that good stuff. As I'm sure you've guessed, I am the new responsible party for the Weekly Challenge!

In the next day or two, I am going to lock this thread and a new weekly challenge hostess sign up thread will be started.

Because there are so many people wanting to host our sign ups have gone all the way to the new year! Crazy cool, huh?! However we don't want to get tooo far ahead of ourselves because a lot can happen in 5 months - unexpected circumstances come up, people forget, yada yada....So with that in mind, as of today sign ups will be closed until sometime in October. I will definitely give plenty of warning when they will be reopened and at that point we will be taking sign ups to host weekly challenges in 2011.

Also, I'd like to have a couple people volunteer to be back up hosts just in case we have a week where we are missing a host. Hosting can be a lot of work and I wouldn't want anyone to feel obligated to host a challenge at the last minute so if we had several people volunteer it would be wonderful - that way I can ask all of the volunteers and hope that someone is having a week where it wouldn't be too much of a challenge to host an unexpected challenge, haha! Send me a PM if you'd be interested in helping out as a "just in case host" sometime.

If you have any questions, thoughts, want to volunteer for a back up or see something I missed, send me a PM!

**********

Here are the guidelines for weekly challenges:

1) Challenge should be Disney related
2) Layout should be uploaded to the MouseScrappers Gallery in the Weekly Challenge category
3) Rules should be flexible enough to allow for both traditional and digital scrapbooking
4) Participants should post their layouts in two places: in the challenge thread, and in the appropriate forum
5) A new challenge will begin every Wednesday and will run through the following Tuesday
6) Providing participation prizes and selecting 'winners' are optional - this is left to the discretion of the host
7) Please keep an eye on your thread. Don't post the rules and then disappear all week - please keep an open dialog with participants and make sure they are posting where they need to be.
8) Let's all keep it fun and supportive... we are here to motivate each other.

The subject line of these challenges should begin with "Weekly Challenge #" followed by the number and the dates

I will take Oct. 28th to Nov. 3!

Thank you for the updated schedule!

QuiltyMom · 09-17-2009, 11:42 AM

I'll take #8.

ETA: I'm going to have to pull my offer to keep the list updated for the time being. Maybe we can switch off doing it every few months? I really don't think that I could do it right now with everything that's going on. Sorry for speaking before I thought it through!

TheWerners · 09-17-2009, 12:48 PM

I can take #4

cddiesel · 09-17-2009, 05:29 PM

If anyone needs a small prize please pm me or email me at NeverlandScraps at gmail dot com
Can I post my email addy here? If not please remove it--its just best for me since I check it a million times a day!
I wish I could sign up but Im keeping November open since Im guesting at a store and December we are heading to his family for two weeks and I dont want to be tied in to anything with packing, etc. Maybe in the new year when we aren't traveling.
