Hello there!  It’s Polly Karen bringing you an inspiration filled Challenge Spotlight post for July.  Each month we have 8 monthly challenges hosted in our forums and at the end of each month, I look through the challenge galleries and shine my spotlight of just a few of my favorites.  So without further delay, let’s check out some amazing new layouts!

Wowee!  I absolutely love how varied all of these pages are!  There’s a bit of everything from fantastic photos, to clean layout to messy art journaling styled pages.   And I love them all!  I especially had a hard time narrowing my choices from all of the fun All About Me layouts!  So many creative ways to capture little bits about yourselves!   If you are as inspired as I am by these wonderful pages, please take a moment to leave these layouts a little love.  All the images above are linked.  This is also your reminder that Sunday, July 31st is the last day to complete this month’s batch of challenges.   I’ll be back in a few days with a peek at the new batch of challenges for August.  Until then, happy scrapping!
