Hi everyone and welcome to the September Challenges! Yay... Spring is here in Australia and that means Autumn is arriving soon in your part of the world! I love the weather changes with each new season. Both are the promise of new adventures, experiences, fresh connections with our environment, not to mention new growth and plenty of beautiful colour to inspire us. Soooooo, I thought what is something from nature that bridges both Spring and Autumn...FOLIAGE does! All the changing colours of Autumn and the bright bursts of new lush greens that Spring brings. So lets create a page that uses FOLIAGE as the main element in our designs. The challenge rules are simple: create a project that includes at least 3 types of foliage. You don’t have to do a Spring or Autumn inspired page but make sure your design shows a fun use of leaves, twigs, and or sprigs of leafy goodness. For extra inspiration I put together a fun Pinterest Board called FOLIAGE FLAIR. Here’s what I came up with using several of our amazing designers new and old product. For those product links click on my image to be redirected to the gallery. As always, please remember the monthly challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the September Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread. The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month: 2 challenges = 10% off 4 challenges = 20% off 6 challenges = 30% off If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges). I can't wait to see your leaf laden pages! Em x
