    For this month's Random Challenge, I’m going to give you an image and a word prompt. Using that word, you will find the items to use on your layout. Your layout does NOT have to be about or related to the word prompt. Of course, you can use it if you want.

    The Word Prompt is Favorite Treat. You do not have to use more than 10 letters, so if your favorite treat is really long, like Three Musketeers, you can stop after the 10th letter. You can also use a more generic word if you prefer like “Candy bar” or “Chocolate”. In your post, please share your treat word with your layout. Please tag me if you have any questions!

    My favorite treat right now is Cottage Cheese & Peaches. I skipped the double letters and that left me with 9 letters: C – Card; O – Circle; T – Triangle; A – Alpha; G – Gesso; E – Orange; H – Blue; S – Stamp; P – Paint.

    Here’s my layout:

    I got the idea from a now defunct site scrapbookchallenges, but the prompt and image was created by me. What do you think? Did you enjoy this challenge?

    Challenge Reminders:
    Post your layout here so I can love on it! Your page should also be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the October Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked.

    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).

    Coffee is my treat! All of my girls have been barristas currently and in the past, so I actually think it's a genetic thing. :)
    C=card JC by A Pennington, O=circle, the flair and my stylized button, f=flair, from RAD-LAD and e=orange, never would have picked an orange background. My pic is the hills of Oro Valley, near Tucson, went there recently for my niece's wedding.

    Ok so the hardest part of this was picking my favourite treat haha. The store near us has started doing the most beautiful Sicilian Lemon Pavlova - I've never been much of a person for deserts but this thing is pure beauty. So I went with Pavlova.

    P - Paint, behind the photo | A - Alpha, "Recital 2022" | V - Vellum, vellum clouds | L - Leaf, I wasn't sure if the small sprinkle leaves would count so added three traditional leaves too | O - Circle, small circle to the left of photos and the sun tags.

    I had fun with this one, thanks so much for the challenge:

    They say there's no such thing as a stupid question. I may be about to prove them wrong :lol

    @bestcee: Is this a (very cool!) version of a recipe challenge, where you use ONLY the ingredients of the recipe (in this case, the elements which correspond to the letters of your treat word), and nothing more? Or are we allowed to use additional elements/embellishments, even if they don't correspond to the letters of the treat word?

    Not stupid at all! You can add a few more embellishments, like I added the enamel pins and journaling. But try to limit additions, in the spirit of the challenge!

    Oh :blush I added lots of extra flowers etc as I did notice your few additions so I just assumed we could add extra elements as log as the essential items were there. I can redo a copy without as many elements if needed, so sorry I should have checked in <3
