September brings a new routine for lots of families with kids that are returning to school (in the US), so this time of year is a great time to find time to get caught up on all summer memories everyone made. What better way to scrap some of those pictures than to participate in our monthly challenges? You’ll get closer to being caught up AND you’ll get some rewards for doing it. The fabulous Challenge Pollys just posted 7 new monthly challenges on the 1st and as usual, they have come up with some great inspiration! If you participate in the challenges you can earn yourself a coupon for a shopping spree in the Store (2 challenges = 10%, 4 challenges = 20% and 6 challenges = 30%). Also, if you complete all 7 challenges within the month of September you will be entered to win one of two guest spots on the Creative Team (Polly). Being on the Creative Team gives you an all-access pass to the Store for one month and you get to peek at the behind the scenes fun in the forum too. It’s like the best back stage pass ever for a digi-scrapper! So, if that peaks your interest, let’s take a look at this month’s challenges.
1. Scraplift Challenge – Julie (mrs2a50) is hosting this month’s scraplift challenge and she has selected Peppermint of One Little Bird Designs to scraplift. Here is the page Julie chose to scraplift, followed by her scraplifted page:

Once the products are released, the BYOC Challenge will be added to the Challenge Forum. The challenge is to use 90% of the items on your page from this month’s BYOC collection AND to use products from at least 3 designers. Since all the BYOC products are designed to coordinate, this is an easy one!
