Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen back again to give you a quick overview of all the new challenges for August. I have a love/hate relationship with August... I love it because it's my birthday month, but I'm also so sad when August arrives because it's our last month of summer freedom before my boys go back to school and busy stuff of school all starts up again. BUT, we also can be happy for the beginning of a new month because we have a new batch of challenges! Each month we have 8 brand new challenges that are posted in the forum Challenge Pad on the 1st day of the month. (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%). Those … [Read more...]

Using a Monthly Planner Page to Track Scrapping Goals
Hello, Polly Farrah here to give you a look inside my planner and how I use it to track my scrapping goals. I am a die hard planner girl. I have tried every type of planners you can imagine. My inner environmentalist really really really wanted to love the digital planner...I tried the digital calendar and I tried a Goodnotes digital planner. I have made tons of planner pages with my digi-scrap supplies and have even tried printing my own planner pages. I have had a lot of fun experimenting with different types of planners, but the main thing that I have learned is that I truly NEED a physical paper planner. If I don't physically write something down, then I am never going to recall any of it. I have a really boring life and rarely do anything...especially over the past year or so. Also, I really really love making square tick boxes and checking them off. I recently went out of town … [Read more...]
