MOC 2020 Spotlight – Part 2

Woo-hoo!  I’m back to shine my spotlight again!   It’s Polly Karen here bringing you part 2 of my SUPER-sized special edition spotlight posts for this year’s Month of Challenges (MOC8)!  I can’t believe that it’s the last day of January already and therefore the last new challenge for MOC8 was posted this morning!   I am once again going to try my very best to pick just two layouts for each of the 16 challenges that were posted in the 2nd half of this month.  So grab a snack and a drink and enjoy all these amazing layouts!

Holy Moly!  How’s that for a pile of awesome?!?!?   What a wonderful time I had looking again through the last batch of sixteen challenges to finish off this wonderful Month of Challenges!   I hope all of these amazing artists have inspired you as much as they did me.  I know they 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.   This is also a quick reminder that you have until 11:59 pm Eastern time, Sunday, February 2, to complete all your layouts.  If you’d like to review the guidelines for completing MOC8, you can find those HERE.

I will be back in just a few short days to show off a brand new batch of monthly challenges for February.

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.
