MOC 2019 Spotlight – Part 1

Hello everyone!  It’s Polly Karen here bringing you a SUPER-sized special edition spotlight post!  Since we are knee deep in awesome daily challenges here at The Lilypad for MOC (Month of Challenges) I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shine my spotlight on a couple of the standouts for each of the daily challenges.  I am going to try my very best to pick two for each of the 14 challenges that have already been posted for this month… but we all know I’m terrible at narrowing my choices sometimes.  Ha ha!  So grab a snack and a drink and enjoy all these amazing layouts!

Wowza!  How did I do?  Well… at picking only two?   I stunk, but I don’t care.  I could have added about 15 more per challenge, so I think picking only 3 sometimes was really amazing for me.  Ha ha!  I know that I feel extra inspired now and I can’t wait to get to the next challenge tomorrow!  I hope you enjoyed these wonderful layout too and would love it if you’d leave a little love for a couple of your favorites too.  All the images above are linked to the gallery.  I will be back again at the very end of the month to give you part 2 of my SUPER-sized spotlight posts for MOC.  I hope everyone is enjoying the challenges, I know I sure am!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
