Hello everyone! Polly Karen here, bringing you the Challenge Spotlight post for May. Once a month I have the privilege of looking through the challenge galleries to find just a few of my favorite layouts and shine my spotlight on them here.
If you aren’t familiar with the challenges, here’s a little information about them to get you started. We now offer 8 monthly challenges in the forum each month. If you play along with these challenges you can earn yourself a coupon to use on your next Lilypad shopping spree. You will earn as follows: 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off. Also, if you finish at least 7 challenges, in addition to your coupon, you will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a guest spot on the Creative Team (be a Polly) for a month! Now let’s look at some of the standout pages created for May’s challenges:
1. BYOC Challenge – Use 90% current BYOC products from at least 3 designers:

Oh my good gravy! I know I say this often, but this month the challenge galleries were bursting with fantastic layouts and I loved two things immensely; One, I saw a LOT of new-to-me faces and Two, I could see how directly the challenge themes inspired layouts this month. So, I once again couldn’t limit myself to just two layout for each challenge and had to share more with you. I hope that you are as inspired by these works of art as I was and that you’ll take a moment to leave these artists some love (all images are linked). Finally, this is your reminded that tomorrow, May 31st is your last day to play along with these challenges and earn yourself a discount coupon and possibly even a guest spot on the Creative Team! I’ll be back in just a few days to show off the new batch of challenges coming for June.
