Our Blog Creator, Lynn Lefebvre!

Today, we’re kicking off the celebration of our 150th challenge by spotlighting our amazing design team! But it wouldn’t be complete without starting with our founder, Lynn Lefebvre.

 

 Lynn established Challenge YOUrself in November, 2013.

When asked how she came up with the idea for Challenge YOUrself,  she said the following:  

"I got the concept for this type of scrapbooking challenge blog because I found that most people scrap about everyone else and forgot to leave a little bit of themselves in their layouts. I thought about the idea of a challenge blog for a long time, and thanks to some encouragement from a good friend, I decided to give it a try."

 

In December 2015, Lynn decided to prioritize spending more quality time with her family and stepped down from her role.  Lynn wants to express her immense pride in Challenge YOUrself and its remarkable milestone of 150 challenges!  

We'd like to share two of Lynn's incredible layouts that she made for 

Challenge YOUrself:

She made this lovely page for CY#17:

And this beauty for CY#37:

Wow, Lynn! These are absolutely stunning!!  Thank you so much for founding Challenge YOUrself and helping us to celebrate 150 challenges!! We could not have done this without YOU!
