Hello and happy last day of July everyone! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you another monthly Challenge Spotlight post.  Once a month I have the privilege of looking through the challenge galleries to find just a few of my favorite layouts and shine my spotlight on them here.

If you aren’t familiar with the challenges, here’s a little information about them to get you started.  We offer 8 monthly challenges in the forum each month.  If you play along with these challenges you can earn yourself a coupon to use on your next Lilypad shopping spree.  You will earn as follows:  2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off.  Also, if you finish at least 7 challenges, in addition to your coupon, you will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate!  Now let’s look at some of the standout pages created for June’s challenges

I have been in a bit of a scrapping rut for the last few weeks, but doing this post sure did make me itch to drop everything else and go home and scrap!  I love that feeling!  It’s obviously that our pad peeps sure had an inspiring month too!  I love it!  I hope all of these fabulous layouts have inspired you as well and if you have a minute and would like to spread some love, all the images above are linked.  Finally, this is your reminder that TODAY, July 31st is the last day to complete these challenges yourself and earn a discount coupon and possibly even a $50 gift certificate!  Now that is worth scrapping for!  I’ll be back on tomorrow with a look at the new batch of challenges for August!
