    Wow talk about time flying!! August flew by, and here we are in September! It is time for a new blog challenge at Kate Hadfield Designs! Before we get to the September Blog Template Challenge, we are going to announce the winner of the August challenge.

    Kate has left the honors of choosing the winner to "Rafflecopter" as there are so many beautiful pages, it is hard to pick one! The winner for August is Glenda @gduncan with her Wild Kitty's page. (Glenda, please send Kate a private message here, to collect your prize!)

    Thank you to everyone who participated in the August challenge. Kate loves seeing what you create each month with her templates and how you personalize them, with your creative styles.

    Now onto September, with a new template that is sure to be a fun one. The theme for this one is paper pieces! Kate & I often struggle to use patterned papers when scrapping and find that using smaller pieces of patterned paper helps us not be so intimidated by them. Kate created a template with lots of paper strips that can be used to showcase patterned papers, or any other papers that take your fancy!

    Here is my page with the fun template:

    Head on over to Kate's blog to pick up the free template (Please scroll down on Kate's blog for download links) and to see more inpiration pages from the rest of Kate's Creative Team . Enjoy & have fun with the template! You could win a $15 gift card to Kate's store!

    THE CHALLENGE:
    1. Download the template from Kate's Blog. (Please scroll down until you see the "Download Template Here: PSD PNG Tiff" ) You can use it as is, flip it, resize it, anything you want to make it your own!
    2. Create a digital layout, hybrid layout, or even a card or other project. It can be any theme that you wish. The only requirement is that your page should include at least 50% Kate’s products.

    *Please note: This has to be a new layout for the challenge*

    If you are looking for some inspiration on how to use Kate's doodles, check out the huge Kate Hadfield Creative Team Pinterest board! You'll find 300+ layouts with all kinds of doodles & themes!

    Or, go to Kate's blog to see all the layouts from her Creative Team using this template!

    TO ENTER:
    1. Post your page in the Kate Hadfield gallery here at the Lilypad.
    2. Leave a comment in the Rafflecopter giveaway at the bottom of the September challenge post on Kate's blog, linking back to your page by midnight EST on September 30th!

    The winner will be announced along with the next blog challenge on October 1!

    Just a reminder, Kate's Boys Night In and Bedheads are her featured kits for September. They will be on sale all month at 30% off until September 30th!

    @gduncan I *think* you go to the Inbox in the upper RH corner and do "start a new conversation!" But someone else might know better than I. Congrats on your win -- I love your page with the beautiful wild cats!!

    Glenda I am sorry I missed seeing this... at the top of the screen is an inbox. (has an envelope icon) click on that and choose new conversation. and then in the conversation part @Kate type Kate as who you are addressing. Then like you would an email put a subject... Use something like August Challenge Winner and then ask Kate your info so she can send you the gift code.

    Let me know if I can be of more help.

    also Glenda if you put the @ symbol here in front of the person's name like yours : @gduncan will pull up the icon of the picture of the person and they will get an alert. If you do not quote or do the @symbol in the forum thread, no one will realize you replied to them as they won't get an alert. Hope that helps too! :)
