Hi Ladies! Just wanted to know where the winners for each month are posted. I can't seem to find them. Thanks! Claudia

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I don't know how much participation would make it worth it for the coordinators to continue putting their time into it. We all definitely love the challenges, but it's just a fun extra thing we do and it's not easy for the coordinators or myself to get it done on deadline.

I'll be chatting with my coordinators soon and we'll see what everyone says.

Just wanted to say I hope the challenges continue...it's nice to have it there and I'm not sure how much participation is needed to keep it going?

I Would have to agree with Irene that in the past, some of the monthly challenges have been posted late in the month, which gives members less time to complete a layout. Also sometimes it has taken weeks for the results to go up, which means the whole process loses momentum. I know Noell has been enlisting helpers and I think that as the challenges become more regular and a little more organised, interest will pick up again.

My only suggestion would be to consider among the challenges run from the first of the month for 6weeks. Allowing two weeks for the judges to make their decision, that would mean members have
more time to complete a project, and results could be up a couple of days before the next challenge is posted. Eg may results posted the end of June, just before the July challenge goes live.

Irene, I have decided not to do prizes for these because by law we are not allowed to give prizes out to non-U.S. residents. We won't exclude our international audience for a regular challenge like this.

There are a couple other reasons why I feel it's best to not include prizes for this but the exclusivity is the big one. I do appreciate your suggestion, though, and welcome any others.

I always have the best intentions, but like many others, I find it hard to fit in the challenges along with other Design Team work I do. Over the next few months, I'll be stepping down from a couple of DTs so that will free up more time to do what I WANT, rather than what is REQUIRED. =) I hope the challenges are still around when I'm ready!

I have been a Paperclipping member for a little over a year now and have learned so much here. I have entered a couple of monthly challenges and I seem to work best with a deadline. However, like Sandra mentioned, time gets away.
For me, it would work better if the challenges were posted on the 1st of the month. This would give me more time as I do participate in other challenges.
For me, the reward is my FINISHED project, but I am wondering if some of the ladies would be more motivated if there was a small prize.

I like the challenges and each month plan on doing at least 1 but the month seems to get away from me. I know I need to make this more of a priority so I can get some of my scrapbooking done.

I want to do the challenges but am looking for more of a layout challenge :) I will ck out next month though
