HOW TO LINK UP
The most important rule when you add one of your creations to Sketch~N~Scrap is to
LINK BACK!!
This means that from your blog, someone can immediately hop over to Sketch~N~Scrap, using your link.
AND if you don’t LINK BACK then I am afraid your post will be deleted…
So…how is it done?
Well… here is a card that I made inspired by the December 5th card Sketch –
(it is also great to add the sketch to your blog)
So now I want to link back to Sketch~N~Scrap.
I highlight the part of the sentence that I want to use as the link eg Sketch~N~Scrap
And then hit Link at the top of the screen
A box pops up:
Type in (or ‘cut and paste’) the main SNS address: http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com
Click OK and you have an active link –
When you publish your blog it is a good idea to check that it works!
(Try my link above – just under the photos)
If you do not want your post to be deleted
please make sure this link is on your blog post!
I am using blogger - other sites will have similar methods to link up.
The next step after publishing your post is to link to Sketch~N~Scrap via the Inlinkz button at http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com
It is also fine to use a scrapbook/card gallery or post on your Instagram OR Facebook account just as long as they allow the person to include a link to Sketch N Scrap. ***Please note we no longer allow you to use Flickr Or other photo sharing websites as it requires our DT to set up accounts to view/comment on these sites.***
1) Add your project to the gallery, blog or your Facebook/Instagram...make sure and include a link back to Sketch N Scrap in the photo description or comments.
Here is my example on Splitcoaststampers.com
2) Copy your link from the gallery, blog OR Facebook/Instagram account where you posted it.
3) Click on the ADD LINK button on the Sketch N Scrap blog - it can be found on the RIGHT sidebar
4) Paste your link into the box that says THE URL OF YOUR LINK
5) Fill in a caption for your project- HINT: use your name OR the title of your project
6) Fill in your email address....this WILL NOT show on our website, only the site/blog owner can see it
7) You will see your project appear under the email button....
8) Click SAVE & your have now linked up your project!! HINT: if you don't check the box that states you agree with the Inlinkz privacy policy then it will not work
Remember if you post your project on a site that requires our DT to create an account we may not be able to comment on your project - thanks for your understanding!
The other case where we ask for your understanding is if your blog is in a different language.
If you link up disappears at a later date it may not have followed the challenge guidelines.
As a consequence it may have been deleted.
Try again paying close attention to the challenge rules/guidelines and if it deleted again and you do not understand why then email us at sketchnscrap@gmail.com to find out why your link has been deleted.
We look forward to seeing your lovely work!!
Happy Crafting!
thanks for the rules explanation!
