January Challenge Spotlight

Good Monday morning everyone!  Polly Karen here to bring you another spotlight post to shine a light on just a few of the standout pages created for this month’s challenges.  We have two sets of challenges this month, and I am picking pages only from the 7 monthly challenges, but oh my goodness is our gallery packed with stunningly creative pages from both the monthly challenges and the daily challenges.  Here are just a few of my favorites:

 

1.  BYOC Challenge – 90% BYOC items from at least 3 designers:

All of these wonderful pages are linked so take a few minutes and leave these artists a little love.  Also, this is your official reminder that you only have four days left (until January 31st) to complete these monthly challenges.  You can earn a nice coupon for the store (2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off) and if you complete all 7 challenges you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a one month guest spot on the creative team.  Check out the January Challenge forum and the Challenge Guideline thread if you have any questions.  I’ll be back in just a few days to announce all of the new challenges for February too.

 

 

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: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: 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.
