October Challenge Spotlight

It’s nearing the end of October which means I (Polly Karen) get to point the spotlight on just a few of the stunning layouts created for this month’s batch of challenges.  You can find all of the information for the 7 monthly challenges in the October Challenge Forum and don’t forget that you can earn a great coupon to use on your next shopping spree in the Lilypad Store.  (2 challenges = 10%, 4 challenges = 20% and 6 challenges = 30%)  If you complete all 7 challenges before October 31st, you could also be one of two lucky scrappers who will be drawn to win a one month guest spot on the Creative Team (The Pollys).  Now, let’s take a look at a few of my favorite pages created this month:

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.
