Hello everyone!  It’s Polly Karen back to bring you part 2 of my special edition MOC Spotlight post.  As you’ll remember from my first post, January is a SUPER special month at The Lilypad because we host a fabulous event called the Month of Challenges or MOC for short.  This is our SIXTH year for this event and it just continues to grow and blossom every year.  The idea behind MOC is that there is a new challenge every single day of the month hosted by either a Polly (creative team member) or one of our fabulous designers.  We spend months and months getting ready for this event so that we can bring you fun and creative challenges each day.  Some are definitely easier than others, but they are all designed to inspire you to scrap your memories and maybe even learn something new along the way.  You can find all of the daily challenges in THIS FORUM and all kinds of information in the general Month of Challenge forum too.  Now on to my spotlight of just a couple layouts from each of the challenges that have posted in the 2nd half of January!  Great ready for a huge pile of inspiration!  Enjoy!

Wow!  I had so much fun (and agony in narrowing down to two) looking through each day’s challenge thread.  I absolutely love seeing how creative people are getting with interpreting each day’s challenge!  All of the layouts above are linked if you’d like to leave your favorites some extra love!

Sadly January is drawing to a close tomorrow and that means the last challenge will be posted tomorrow too.  Never fear though, our challenge Pollys will be back with a new batch of monthly challenges on February 1st so you won’t be left completely without inspiration.  Also if you are looking for a new kind of challenge, there are a bunch of us that are signed up for Tangie Baxter’s new art journaling adventure called Art Journaling for Scaredy Cats.  If you’ve never tried art journaling before or would like to know more about what it is and how to even get started, this class is for you and it is on a crazy sale of 62% off if you pre-register.  I’m super excited to have that to look forward to when MOC is over.  The class starts on February 7th.  Hope you’ll consider joining us!
