Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you the monthly overview of the 7 new challenges for June. This month we are mixing up our challenges just a little bit. We are adding a few new challenges such as an All About You challenge and a Take Two Challenge. We are also adding a White Space Challenge, but don’t fear, if you struggle with white space pages, we will be having the opposite of white space page every other month.
As a reminder, based on our percentage system, you can earn three levels of coupons for the store just by participating in our monthly challenges. In addition to the coupon, if you complete all 7 challenges within the month of June, you will be entered in a drawing to win a one month guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The discounts available are as follows: 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off. Now let’s take a look at the new challenges:
1. Take Two Challenge – This new challenge is hosted by Julie (mrs2a50). Julie wants you to go back to a page you’ve done in the past, but maybe weren’t completely happy with the end result. Take that page a re-do it. Here is a page that Julie wanted to re-scrap, followed by her Take Two page:
2. Journaling Challenge – Amanda (gracielou) is hosting this month’s Journaling Challenge and she wants you to create a new layout and journal about “Summer”. Here is a super fun summery layout created by member and past Guest-Polly ArisaMinamoto:
3. White Space Challenge – The White Space Challenge is another one of our new challenges for this month (the opposite of white space challenge will be next month). This challenge is hosted by Ashley (ashleywb) and she created this lovely layout as a perfect example of a white space layout:
4. Random Challenge – Heather (talktoheather) is hosting the Random Challenge for June and decided to create a formula challenge for you to complete this month. She wants you to use the following on your layout: Photo, Paint Elements, Patterned Papers, Lines of Journaling and Elements. Here is Heather’s sample page:
5. All About You Challenge – This is another one of our new challenges for this month and will be hosted by Amanda (MandaKay). Amanda is challenging you to create a layout about yourself so that our stories don’t get lost while we spend most of our scrapping time creating pages about other people. Amanda challenges you to also use at least 5 photos that have you in them in some way. Here is a fabulous example from Amanda:
6. Template Challenge – Renee (renee82) is hosting this month’s Template Challenge and the free template for you to play with is supplied by the sweetest Pink Reptile Designs (Mirjam). Your challenge is to simply create a layout using this free template. See below for a fun sample layout created by Renee:
7. BYOC Challenge – Last, but certainly not least is the BYOC Challenge. June’s BYOC Challenge will be posted to the forum on Friday, June 5th when all the new BYOC Products for June will be released in the store. This challenge, hosted by Heather (HeatherB), is to use 90% of the products on your page from the current BYOC collection and from at least 3 designers.
