Challenge Guidelines

Welcome to Sentimental Sundays Challenges! The goal of these challenges is to focus on the beauty of words to compliment our projects. Here's a little info about the challenges that will be held here:

1. Challenges will be posted every Sunday. Your work must be new, but you may combine it with as many other challenges as you like; however, you are ONLY allowed THREE entries per challenge. It can be any type of handmade (or even digital creation): card, scrapbook pages, altered items, etc.

2. You must use a sentiment somewhere on your card. It can be from any company, digital or rubber, stamped or a sticker, or even created by you - anything! Just make sure to link back to this blog and mention our current challenge in your post.

3. Post a direct link to your creation (blog post, SCS Gallery, Photobucket album, etc.) into InLinkz before the next challenge goes up (usually around 12:01 AM EST on Sundays). When uploading to SCS, PCP, SNR, or other galleries, please use the keyword "sentimentalsundays"

4. HAVE FUN!

Yep, it's a pretty short list! Once in a while we will give away sentiment sets or if sponsors contact us, we'll have a prize. Otherwise, we just want everyone to have fun here :) If you have questions or would like to sponsor a challenge, please contact us below.
