June Challenges
Hello everyone! It’s Polly Karen back again to give you a quick overview of all the new challenges for June. Each month we have 8 brand new challenges that are posted in the forum Challenge Pad on the 1st day of the month. (the BYOC Challenge is posted on the 1st Friday of the month.) You can use the challenges simply to inspire you to keep creating new layouts OR you can also earn yourself a fabulous coupon for your next shopping trip in the Lilypad Store. (2 challenges = 10%, 4 challenges = 20% and 6 challenges = 30%). Those who complete at least 7 challenges will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate! Isn’t that an awesome prize?!?! You’ll get lots of great memories captured in your scrapbooks AND you could win a fat gift certificate prize!!! Pretty great, right?! So let’s take a look at this month’s new batch of challenges!
1. Journaling Challenge – The first challenge up for June is the Journaling Challenge hosted by Natasha (bcnatty). Natasha is challenging you to create a layout with journaling about something you’ve missed because of the current pandemic. Natasha created this beautiful layout about her daughter missing out on her senior prom:
2. Photography Challenge – The next challenge, the Photography Challenge, is hosted by Lori (lcpereyra) and she would like to challenge you to take a photo of something that brings you peace and a bit of serenity. Here is a layout from Lori with a photo that she calls “serenity now”:
