Don't you just love fall!!! I always feel creative in the fall. My summers are much busier now with a yard and garden to care for so I haven't done much this summer. But, I have plans for making things better next summer. And I have all of Fall and Winter to prepare :).First thing's first. I have some new products up in the store. Check them out.
Then, starting tomorrow, I will be starting to sell my bi-weekly commercial use grab bags. These have been very popular and I have had several people ask me why I haven't done any for awhile. The answer is that I have been super busy. But not to worry, like I said, I have plans for making things work out well in the summer. I will continue these bi-weekly grab bags even through this coming summer. So keep coming back here to check out every other Sunday what new stuff I have available in my grab bags this time.Finally, I am going to be hosting some challenges at Scrapbook-Bytes. I will be working on the templates challenge (which will start on the 1st and 15th of each month) and I will also be starting to do the scraplift challenges on a weekly basis starting tomorrow. Did you know about the benefits involved in participating in the challenges at SBB? If not, check out the details below.From December 1st 2008 to Sept 2009, we used a challenge reward system here at Scrapbook-Bytes.
Now it is time to shake it up a bit... Read Down for More information...For each challenge that you participate in during the month you will be allocated one "byte".
Each layout will only count for one "byte" - "doubling up" on challenges is not permitted.
Your challenge must be posted between the first day of the month and midnight of the last day of the month to be counted.
Each month one challenge will be nominated which will earn you 3 bonus "bytes", if you complete it.
You can earn one bonus "byte" per challenge if the layout uses product entirely from Scrapbook-Bytes store designers.
(Please note if this is the case in your tracking post)

To shake it up just a wee bit... The designers from the Scrapbook-Bytes Store will be creating kits based on the color theme challenges.
There will be one kit from the 1st to 14th, and another kit from the 15th to the end of the month.
These kits will be split up into small pieces, and when you participate in the challenges, you will receive a piece of the kit just for posting!
Each challenge will be assigned a different portion of the kit.
The Full Kit will be available in the store later if you happen to miss a challenge.
We are still keeping the previous prizes based on the number of "bytes" each month:You must track your "bytes" by creating a personal tracking post in the relevant month thread and adding a link to the layout.
You can edit it as you complete the challenges. The thread will be locked at midnight on the last day of the month.
Please list as bytes earned - challenge - link (see below)
1 - Scraplift wk#1- "link"
1 - Scraplift wk#1- "link" (bonus all SBB products)
To earn the reward you must earn 16 "bytes" of the 30+ possible bytes awarded from eligible challenges posted during each month.
Bytes do not carry over from previous months.
Each month will result in a different reward from one of the designers at Scrapbook-Bytes
If you complete every challenge during the month you will be eligible for a BONUS reward
