Welcome to April!!! It is the beginning of Spring for most of us, and that means all of the beautiful flowers are in bloom, warmer weather is coming and we are all excited to see growth and renewal happening outside our windows! With a new month, it also welcomes a new month of challenges here at the Lily Pad!!! I am so excited to be hosting the April Template Challenge! This month, we have an amazing template from our very own and very talented Soco of Designed by Soco! You can download the template HERE. Then using the free template, create your own layout. You can scrap it exactly as it is, or you can flip it, rotate it, add or replace, as long as we can tell you used the template as your starting point. Here is my page using a lot of the elements and papers from last month's gorgeous April MPM Add-ons of Soco's and Allison Pennington: (Credits for my page are listed in 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 April 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 am excited to see your pages! Have fun!
