Hello, hello, HELLO! Is everyone enjoying their summer? We've been caught in a heat wave the last two weeks, with a record-breaking high of 108 yesterday! That's just too dang hot for me! Welcome to the August product challenge! This month, I want to focus on your amazing photos, so our product is photo templates, or photo masks. Let's see you use a product that emphasizes your photo and really makes it pop off the page! Here are some examples I found in the store: Fold 'Em by Pink Reptile Designs Film Clipping Masks by Sahlin Studio: Waterplay Masks from Valorie Wibbens: Paislee Press has a bunch of photo templates, like her 4x6 Photo Templates Vol. 3: which is what I used for my page: Remember to follow the challenge guidelines - Your page must contain at least 75% of Lilypad product. You should post your layout in this thread, as well as in the August Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked! And of course, your page should be posted in the Lilypad Gallery so we can leave lots of love! 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 all 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The first six challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the seventh 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). Now let's see how you decide to make your photos shine!
