Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you my monthly overview of the 7 new challenges for March. 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 March, you will be entered in a drawing to win a one month guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! This month we are once again offering TWO guest spots. 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. One Word Challenge – Julie (mrs2a50) is hosting this month’s One Word Challenge and for March has decided to challenge you to use a day of the week as your “one word”. The day of the week must be part of your title. Here is a sample layout created by Julie to get you started:
2. Scraplift Challenge – Amanda (gracielou) is hosting the Scraplift Challenge for March. This month she will be hosting a game of scraplift tag (my favorite!). You simply post in the thread that you want to play along and then you scraplift a page from the person who posted above you.
3. Product Challenge – March’s Product Challenge is hosted by Heather (HeatherB) and she has picked templates as the product to play with. Hooray! Click HERE for the template category in the store. Here is a page created with a template by Heather:
4. Template Challenge – Amanda (MandaKay) is hosting this month’s template challenge and the free template for you to play with was provided by Krista Sahlin of Sahlin Studio. You can pick up the free template in the store HERE or by clicking the image below.
And here is a sample layout created by Amanda:
5. Random Challenge – The host for March’s Random Challenge is Ashley (ashleywb) and her challenge for you this month is to tell a story using at least 3 numbers on your page. Here is a sample page created by Ashley with numbers:
6. Journaling Challenge – Heather (talktoheather) is the host for the Journaling Challenge for March. Heather wants you to use this opportunity to journaling about something that you were super proud of or something that made you say “Hey, I’m awesome”. Here is a layout by Heather that does just that:
7. BYOC Challenge – Last, but certainly not least is the BYOC Challenge. March’s BYOC Challenge will be posted to the forum tomorrow, Friday, March 6th when all the new BYOC Products for March will be released in the store. This challenge, hosted by Renee (renee82), is to use 90% of the products on your page from the current BYOC collection and from at least 3 designers.
Challenge Galleries: (post your pages to these galleries)
There you have your at-a-glance look at all of the new challenges for March. Now you can go create your own layouts inspired by these challenges and then post them to the appropriate galleries as listed above. Then be sure to also post them to the appropriate thread in the challenge forum. See the thread HERE for further challenge guidelines and see the March Challenge Pad HERE to get started! Don’t forget to post all of your completed layouts in the Challenge Layouts thread so we can be sure to get you the proper coupon at the end of the month. I’ll be back near the end of the month to shine the spotlight on some of the pages created for these challenges! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Happy scrapping!
