Happy February everyone! It’s Polly Karen here. Well, the Month of Challenges is over for the year and we had an enormous number of scrappers playing along. It was fabulous to see the piles of inspiring layouts that were uploaded every day in January.
Now it’s a new month and some people are in withdrawal for their fix of daily challenges. Thankfully there is a whole new batch of monthly challenges. 7 challenges should seem like a snap to anyone participating in the MOC last month!
Based on our percentage system, you can earn three levels of coupons for the store just by participating in our challenges. In addition to the coupon, if you complete all 7 challenges within the month of February, you will be entered in a drawing to win a one month guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! This month we are once again offering TWO guest spots. The discounts available are as follows: 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off. Now let’s take a look at the new challenges:
1. Product Challenge – Heather (talktoheather) is the host for this month’s Product Challenge. Heather picked scatters as the product to play with this month and created this fun page to spark your interest:
2. Template Challenge – Renee (renee82) is the host of February’s Template Challenge. Amy Martin has provided another fabulous and free template to use for this challenge. You just need to use the template shown below for this fun challenge:
3. Random Challenge – This month’s Random Challenge is hosted by Julie (mrs2a50) and she is challenging you to create a page without any journaling at all, not even a title. This is a style that Julie makes look effortless. Here’s a look at her sample layout:
4. One Word Challenge – Amanda (MandaKay) is host of this month’s One Word Challenge. She has selected the word “Friends” for the One Word this month. Here is a beautiful example of a friends layout created by Amanda:
5. Scraplift Challenge – The Scraplift Challenge this month is hosted by Dana. She is having us play a super fun game of scraplift tag. All you have to do is go to the Scraplift Challenge thread and post a reply to hold your spot in the thread. Then pick a layout from the person in the post above you and lift one of their pages. It’s a great excuse to look through someone’s gallery! Here is a page Dana picked and lifted from Amy Martin’s gallery to get us started:
6. Journaling Challenge – I (Karen) am thrilled to be hosting this month’s journaling challenge. I want you to think of a childhood memory and then create a page and journal about that memory. If you have a photo to go with it you can add that also, but that is not a requirement. Here is a sample page from me:
7. BYOC Challenge – This challenge will be posted on Friday when the February BYOC collection is released to the store. This challenge is to use 90% of the products on your page from this month’s BYOC collection and from at least 3 designers.
That’s your overview of the new monthly challenges for February. See the thread HERE for further challenge guidelines and see the February Challenge Pad HERE to get started! Don’t forget to post all of your completed layouts in the Challenge Layouts thread so we can be sure to get you the proper coupon at the end of the month. We can’t to see your pages!
