Happy Monday morning everyone! Polly Karen here to bring you an overview of all the new monthly challenges posted on Friday in the forum. I am still in awe of all the participation we had last month with the regular monthly challenges as well as the daily challenges. I think over 70 people completed all 31 of the daily challenges and a few really dedicated people completed all 7 of the monthly challenges on top of that! Wow! That is a lot of scrapping in one month! The gallery has been so much fun to look through. This month we once again have 7 new monthly challenges, so it should be no problem at all for many of you to complete these by the end of the month! Here’s a look at what the Challenge Polly’s have cooked up for you:
1. One Word Challenge – The One Word Challenge this month is hosted by Julie (mrs2a50). She has selected the word “Today” for this challenge. Your layouts for this challenge should be uploaded to the One Word Challenge Gallery. Here is a sample layout created by Julie:
2. Template Challenge – Dana is hosting our Template challenge this month and once again Amy Martin has supplied the free template. Just create a layout using this free template and post your completed page to the Template Challenge Gallery. Here is the template:

3. Scraplift Challenge – This month Renee (renee82) has selected Laura’s gallery for you to scraplift from. Just pick a page from Laura’s gallery and then create a page inspired by her page. Post your scraplifted pages to the Scraplift Challenge Gallery. Here is a layout that Renee selected to lift:

4. Random Challenge – This month’s Random Challenge is hosted by Heather (talktoheather). She wants to challenge you to take a themed kit and use it to scrap for something completely different than the theme was intended for. Your layouts should be posted to the Random Challenge Gallery. Here is a page that Heather created with a kit all about “mean moms” and she used it to scrap about the blessings that the moms read to her and her husband at their wedding:
5. Product Challenge – Amanda (MandaKay) is hosting this month’s Product Challenge. She has selected Word Art for the product to play around with this month. Your layouts using word art should be posted to the Product Challenge Gallery. Here’s a fun sample page created by Amanda:
6. BYOC Challenge – Amanda (gracielou) is hosting this month’s BYOC Challenge. All you have to do for this challenge is create a page using 90% BYOC products from this month’s BYOC (Buid Your Own Collab) and you must use products from at least 3 designers’ BYOC items. Your completed pages can be posted to the BYOC Challenge Gallery. Here is a sample page by Amanda:
7. Journaling Challenge – Heather (HeatherB) is hosting the journaling challenge this month. Heather is challenging you to scrap about the little activities in your lives not just the big events that we normally remember to scrap about. Your layouts for this challenge should be posted to the Journaling Challenge Gallery. Here is a sample layout created by Heather:
As if completing the challenges weren’t rewarding enough, don’t forget that you earn discounts to the Lilypad Store by completing these challenges too. The more challenges you complete, the bigger your discount! (2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30%). If you complete all 7 challenges you’ll also be entered in a drawing to win a one month guest spot on the creative team. You can find all the details for each challenge in the February Challenge Forum and any additional questions can be answer in the Challenge Guidelines thread. Have fun scrapping for these challenges!
