Both would be awesome. Though I never seem to have any luck participating in speed scraps... If I am able to make it, it seems like I get to start and then inevitably there is some emergency that only mom can take care of, and I get sidetracked and neve get to finish in time... but at least I have a page started that I can finish later!

I LOVE template challenges, though, and would DEFINITELY participate in those!
Great ideas Carol!

I haven't used templates yet either but love to learn how. I'm also a SBC user.

I think it would be great we could all trade off hosting and we could give PP's for the SS and we could make a template for the template challenge. Count me in!

Sounds like a great idea to me! I love challenges so I'd definitely participate as often as possible!

Also, I think it would be neat to do some sort of gallery love challenge! We seem to do a good job of loving on layouts that are for the weekly challenge, but not so much on the layouts that have been posted that aren't part of the challenge. Each week (or 3 days or whatever!) randomly pick a layout that was placed in the gallery but not part of challenge and then randomly pick a comment on that layout. The more love you give, the better your chances of winning. Since there would be fewere "winners" you could even use the same PP for several rounds (days, weeks..whatever the increment is).

I'm still new here but I would love to host a challenge.

Both sound great! We had a speed scrap once & it was lots of fun, I always wondered why we didn't do it again! And I'm totally a template girl, so I'd definitely love a template challenge.

Wow, girls... it's so great to get all the responses! It sounds like you'd all be interested in trying something. Turkogirl - neat idea... I love your focus on leaving love for others. And Aussiegirl, good point about a speed scrap likely being technically tough for paper. I do love speed scraps (though I stress a little bit, but it is fun and challenging). I can't participate during weekdays, but that doesn't mean we can't schedule them during that time if most people are available.

As far as a template/sketch challenge, I am not a designer, so we'd need some designers (both new and established welcome!) to help us.

So, where should we start? I just want to make sure we do not take away from the weekly challenge at all. Should we try one of each first and see how it goes? Should we schedule them regularly or once in a while? The more people who participate the better (funner, if that is a word). I can post on our Facebook page and Twitter... blogs help too if you have one.

To be honest, I've always wanted to try a speed scrap, but I never seem to have time for one. So if you're trying to build interest, count me out.

On the other hand, I'm a huge fan of the template challenge! I think if you keep the challenge open for more than a week, that might work well. Since we have the rush, rush weekly challenge, then a slower paced template challenge.

CM has a set of templates that are awesome. There are three sets of templates to a CD. Each set has about 20 different layouts! Love it! Makes creating a page happen in no time!
Thanks for hosting Mickey Bar

Speed Scraps would be a blast! I love Speed Scrappin. But not too realistic for our paper friends.

Template challenges are always awesome! The trick is creating a new template each week. Hosts will have to be responsible for their own templates.

New activities would be very fun though Carol. Great ideas.

Both sound great. I've never done a Speed Scrap but if it happened to be at a UK friendly time, I'd be up for it.

I LOVE templates so would deffo be happy to do some of them! Great ideas Carol.
