Happy Hump-day everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you a look at all of the new challenges just posted to the forum yesterday. We have 7 new challenges every month and not only will they inspire you to capture your memories and create fabulous layouts, you can also earn a coupon for your next shopping trip in our store! (2 Challenges = 10%, 4 Challenges = 20% and 6 Challenges = 30%) Also, if you complete all 7 challenges you will be entered in a drawing to win one of two guest spots on the Creative Team (to be a Polly) for one month! That is a prize worth creating for! Now let’s take a look at this month’s challenges.

5. Random Challenge – Dana has a really creative and fun challenge picked out for this month’s Random Challenge. Dana wants us to play the Telephone Game in the form of scrapping. The details are in the forum, but you’ll sign up in the thread and then Dana will send you the layout you are to scraplift and then you send your page back within 24 hours so she can send it to the next person on the list and they’ll scraplift you. It’s going to be so fun to see the evolution when Dana posts them back to the forum! Here is a sample page Dana created when she participated in this game with the One Little Bird CT:
6. Scraplift Challenge – Renee (renee82) has selected the fabulously creative Dalis as our member to scraplift this month. You can find Dalis’ gallery HERE. Pick a page from her gallery and created a scraplifted version. Here is a page picked by Renee and her scraplifted version:
7. BYOC Challenge – This challenge will be posted on Friday, October 4th when the new BYOC collection is released in The Lilypad Store. The challenge is to use 90% of the products on your page from this month’s BYOC collection AND use products from at least 3 designers. Since the BYOC collections are designed with a common color palette they are perfect for mix and matching!
