Tomorrow! It begins tomorrow! The challenges start tomorrow, it’s only a day away! Yes, I am breaking out in song and so excited! Month of Challenge, number 3, which I lovingly call the Mother of all Challenges!!
Yes, 31 challenges, ONE a day over the entire month of January. These are not, just use the color red, they are different, fun and many contain tutorials to help you learn new techniques. The pages you make will stretch you and cause you to grow as a digital scrapper! Some you may HATE, HATE, but others you will surprise yourself, just how much you LOVE them!
Many scrappers stop before they even begin, but you are reading this now, because YOU are made of something STRONGER! You have the desire to play and have fun, but may be nervous and have some trepidation about the idea of making a page a day. You see, it isn’t really a page a day, sometimes, you can do two in one day, and other times, you cram in 3! It is amazing how you find the creativity and mojo to push yourself each day!
Here are some things you can do right now to prepare yourself for the next 31 days:
1. Explain to your family and friends that you are going on an important mission. You are doing this for them, about them and they in the end will reap the benefits.
2. Freezer meals (or PoPTarts) stocked in your pantry. I have been known to totally relax all dietary concerns and toss cold hot dogs and cheese sticks to very happy kids.
3. Favorite snacks and drink ( I use RockStars) for late night scrapping sessions.
Most importantly, you must, laugh and enjoy the month and realize that Everyone who completes all 31 challenges will receive a $20 gift certificate to the TLP store! In addition, each challenge host will choose one page from her daily challenge to receive a $3 gift certificate to the store. In order to be eligible for this $3 GC, you need to post your page to each individual challenge thread, in addition to your main layouts thread.
Everyone who completes all 31 layouts will be considered for a full-time Pollywog spot on the Lilypad CT. One new Pollywog will be chosen. The final decision as to who will be chosen for the full-time Pollywog spot will be based on scrap style, forum participation and gallery participation. We will also randomly select 12 finishers for a one-month guest Polly spot!
Three years ago, I stumbled onto this magnificent and wonderful Month of Challenges, and fell in love with the designers, the challenges, the Pollys, and the amazing people that make up the Lily Pad. I hope you join in this year!
Let the Challenges begin!
