Hello and happy Halloween to those who celebrate it! It’s Polly Karen here bringing you the Challenge Spotlight post for October. Once a month I have the privilege of looking through the challenge galleries to find just a few of my favorite layouts and shine my spotlight on them here.
If you aren’t familiar with the challenges, here’s a little information about them to get you started. We offer 8 monthly challenges in the forum each month. If you play along with these challenges you can earn yourself a coupon to use on your next Lilypad shopping spree. You will earn as follows: 2 challenges = 10% off, 4 challenges = 20% off and 6 challenges = 30% off. Also, if you finish at least 7 challenges, in addition to your coupon, you will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate! Now let’s look at some of the standout pages created for October’s challenges:
1. Random Challenge – Use journal cards on a non-pocket page:

Ack! I didn’t do very well at narrowing my choices this month… oops! But I just COULDN’T! I am an especially huge sucker for photo-less pages because they almost always come with an amazing story and I loved reading them! I felt awful not spotlighting all 17 of my favorites for that one challenge alone. Ha ha! I hope all of these fabulous layouts have inspired you as well and if you have a minute and would like to spread some love, all the images above are linked. Finally, this is your reminder that TODAY, October 31st is the last day to complete these challenges yourself and earn a discount coupon and possibly even a $50 gift certificate! Now that is worth scrapping for! I’ll be back soon with a look at the new batch of challenges for November.
