Hello everyone!  I hope you are all staying safe and healthy these days!   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 July’s challenges:

Oh my gosh!  I haven’t had so much trouble narrowing down my choices in a LONG time!  So many amazing layouts.  I also did something else that I don’t do very often… I saved a bunch to scraplift myself!  The gallery was THAT inspiring to me today!  I hope that you all find some inspiration from these lovely layouts too!  If you have a minute and would like to spread some love, all the images above are linked.  I will be back in a few days to show off a new batch of challenges for August.
