January 2012 Challenges at Scrappity Doo Dah & Ginger Scraps

I'm so eager to join SDD challenges to get 500 point for $5 free coupon....lol. Last month I only managed to get 350. Hopefully this month I can finish several challenges :).

I really love Acha's photo swimming in the pool. I just turned them to Sepia because the colour scheme doesn't match the mini kit colour.

There are some changes in Ginger Scraps' rewards and challenges system starting January posted by Marie here. New Reward systems : 
1-4 challenges done 10 %off
5-7 challenges done 25 %off
8-11 challenges done 40% off

When you do 13 challenges or more you get a 5 $ Gift Certificate. Each month we start new.
All challenges layouts must have at least 50% of GS products - Daily Download and Welcome wagon counts. You must create 1 layout per challenge. No double-dipping

Each % coupons or Gift certificate will be tallied on an accounting treads by you and will be sent out by the 10th of the following month. The discount coupon and Gift certificate will be for personal use and S4H products only. NO CU products.

And this is my layout for previous month Daily Download challenge. I only downloaded 10 days last month so this is the best layout I can come up with :).
