Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you the very last monthly Challenge Spotlight post for this DECADE!!! 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.
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 for December’s challenges:

I have been busily painting my kitchen cabinets for SOOO long, and I really appreciated the break to look through all of these wonderful layouts! If you have a minute and would like to spread some love, all the images above are linked. Normally I’d say I’ll be back in a few days to show you the new batch of challenges for next month, but in January we will instead have our EPIC Month of Challenges (MOC). This will be our 8th Month of Challenges and I hope you’ll come join us. There is nothing like it to start your year off with an awesome creative jump start! If you’d like to play along you can REGISTER HERE. Then check the forum on January 1st for the first challenge!
