Before we get to the new challenge details, I'd like to share that effective January 1, 2024, we will no longer be strictly a Christmas challenge - we're opening up our challenges to ALL occasions! This means you are welcome to create a project for ANY holiday, season or occasion using the featured BINGO card! Our challenge blog name will change and we'll have a brand new blog header and badges, but the URL and the challenge criteria will remain the same. 

Our theme is always anything goes with the featured BINGO card and this challenge will be the last Christmas-themed one. Choose one letter in the word BINGO and use at least three items in that column on your Christmas project. You must state in your blog post the column and the specific items used. This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up and down, left and right and diagonally. To make this more fun, you can only go up and down using the columns! There is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize if you'd like! 



And now for some festive BINGO-inspired inspiration...

There is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize if you'd like! You cannot mix and match columns - you can only use one letter.

New Challenge Blog & Design Team Call!

Hey everybody! We know you love challenges and with so many closing down lately, I'm happy to share that there's another new one coming to town May 1, 2023! Christmas BINGO Challenges is an all-crafts Christmas challenge blog welcoming all types of handmade Christmas creations all year long using the featured Christmas BINGO Card. 

There will be a BINGO Card featured in each challenge and you will be required to use at least three items in any column under the B, I, N, G or O on your Christmas project. Note: This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up/down, left/right and diagonally. To make this more fun, you can only go up and down using the columns! And there is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize (or not)! You cannot mix or match columns - you can only use one letter.

Just like my other challenge blogs, we'll host six challenges per year and each challenge lasts approximately six weeks. All challenges are family-friendly anything Christmas goes with the featured Christmas BINGO Card. Challenges will 
go live at 4:00 AM Mountain Time on the 1st day of each odd month and run until 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the 15th day of the following month. More info is available HERE and photos of the Featured BINGO Cards will be coming soon! I'm still building the site so it's not totally complete, but feel free to poke around!

Now, with a new challenge blog comes a design team call! Designers would be required to create one project every other month using one or both of the featured birthstone colors, have a blog to share your DT inspiration projects, take good photos and comment on one number. I'm also looking for a blog co-owner. 

If this sounds like a team you'd be interested in, shoot me an email (see Contact page over on right sidebar) with 'Christmas BINGO Challenges DT' in the subject line, your blog URL and whether you'd like to be considered for the co-owner role. I'd love to hear from you!

Your BINGO girl,
Leslie
