Hello everyone! Polly Karen here! It’s November and I’m here with an at-a-glance look to show off the 8 monthly challenges that the Challenge Polly’s have created for this month. Each month we have 8 brand new challenges that are posted in the forum Challenge Pad on the 1st (the BYOC Challenge is posted on the 1st Friday of the month.) You can use the challenges simply to inspire you to keep creating new layouts OR you can also earn yourself a fabulous coupon for your next shopping trip in the Lilypad Store. (2 challenges = 10%, 4 challenges = 20% and 6 challenges = 30%). This month we have one change. Those who complete at least 7 challenges will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate! Isn’t that an awesome prize?!?! You’ll get lots of great memories captured in your scrapbooks AND you could win a fat GC prize!!! Woo-hoo! So let’s take a look at this month’s new batch of challenges!
1. Photography Challenge – Our Guest Polly Tracie (tdradtke) is hosting this month’s Photography Challenge. Tracie wants you to scrap a photo(s) that captures the feeling of the weather outside. Here is a gorgeous example layout she created:
2. Scraplift Challenge – November’s scraplift challenge is hosted by Natasha (bcnatty). Natasha has selected the amazing Isa Marks (our newest Polly) and the person to scraplift this month. Simply look through Isa Mark’s Gallery and pick a layout you love and then create a scraplifted version inspired by it. Natahsa picked this page from the gallery and then created the following scraplifted layout:
