Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you the Challenge Spotlight post for August. 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. This month it is an extra privilege to bring you this post as our challenge Pollys created a very special batch of challenges to honor Dawn Inskip, a dear designer here at the Lilypad, who passed away unexpectedly last month. In order to honor our special, loving, sweet and highly creative friend, they geared almost all of this month’s challenges with Dawn in mind.
If you aren’t familiar with the challenges, here’s a little information about them to get you started. We 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 $50 gift certificate! Now let’s look at some of the standout pages created to honor Dawn for August’s challenges:

Wow! It really touched my heart to wander through the challenge galleries this month and see SO much of Dawn in all of the amazing pages everyone created! I hope she can see how much her talent has touched people from all over the world. Rest in peace Dawn! I hope these works of art have touched you as well and if they did that you’ll take a moment to leave the creators a quick comment. All of the layouts are linked above. Finally, this is your reminder that TODAY, August 31st is the last day to complete these challenges yourself and earn a discount coupon and possibly even a $50 gift certificate! I’ll be back soon with a look at the new batch of challenges for September.
