July Challenges
Hello everyone!  Polly Karen here!  It’s July and I’m here 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…
I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.
My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.
Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital:Â Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos:Â Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid:Â Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling:Â watercolors, stencils, and artsticks
And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
