Happy New Year! New Year = New batch of challenges at the Pad! It’s Karen here to tell you about the whole new batch of fabulous challenges that the Pollys put together for you. There are 7 challenges again this month, with one minor change. We opted to remove the formula challenge and replaced it with a random challenge, so that will be something different and fun every month. As usual the more challenges you complete, the bigger coupon you earn! 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off! On top of those fabulous rewards, if you finish all 7 challenges you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Creative Team. That means you could be a Polly for a month! Now, here are this month’s challenges:
1. Random Challenge – This challenge is hosted by Heather (talktoheather) and requires you to use a typewriter font. Completed pages should be posted in the Random Challenge Gallery HERE. Here is Heather’s sample page:
2. One Word Challenge – This month’s One Word Challenge is hosted by Renee and is about something a lot of people do in the new year, making resolutions. Renee wants you to create a page using “I Resolve”. You LOs can be posted in the One Word Challenge Gallery

7. BYOC Challenge – The final challenge is the BYOC Challenge. The BYOC for January will release of Friday, January 6th is geared towards helping you in your Project 365, P52 or Project Life projects. The designers are busy cranking out all kinds of great products for this collection! The rules for this challenge are the same as prior months. Create a page using this month’s BYOC products from at least 3 designers. Your page must contain at least 90% BYOC products. Post complete pages in the
BYOC Challenge Gallery.
You have until January 31st to complete these challenges. A few notes to remember while doing pages for these challenges… Your pages must contain 75% TLP products and you must do a unique page for each challenge. Do not combine one page for two challenges. Once you complete your page, be sure to post it in the appropriate gallery and then back in the challenge thread too so we can leave you some love! We also ask that you post all of your complete challenge pages in the THIS THREAD so we make sure to get you the correct coupon at the end of the month. If you have any other questions about the challenges, see the Challenge Guidelines thread HERE! Have fun!
