Challenge Spotlight – A Year of Blessings and Template #1
Apr
6
2020
Hi fellow scrappers. Hope your week is starting off well.
Today we’re focusing on the A Year Of Blessings Challenge and the first Template Challenge.
First up is the A Year of Blessings Challenge. This month it is hosted by Luv Ewe Designs. Her challenge to us was to scrap flowers. That is a perfect subject for me because my husband loves to photograph flowers. While we were vacationing in Lake Lure, NC in Jnue of 2018, we got to experience their Flowering Bridge. It was a super experience. Here is my take on the challenge and a few others I’ve chosen from the gallery.

Aren’t these beautiful?
Next is one of my favorite challenges each month. The Template Challenge. There are two of these each month. This month the first challenge is hosted by Laurie’s Scraps. Look at this gorgeous template that she has provided for us to use.
I love working with templates so these fall right into my wheelhouse. I had a blast pulling out some older pictures of my kids. They are now much older than this.

Challenge Spotlight – Layout Bingo and Project 365/52
Apr
5
2020
Hey there scrappers. We’re starting a new feature here on the blog. Several times during the week, I will be shining the spotlight on a challenge (or two) that you can do to earn a full kit reward from GingerScraps. Check out the post from April 4, or the Cookie Jar thread in the forum for all the fun information about how the challenges work here at GingerScraps.
Today I’m focusing on two the the multi-layout challenges. Most posts will focus on only one challenge.
First up is Layout Bingo with MagsGraphics. I will admit, I had not had a chance to look at this one much until I started. This looks like so much fun. I’m going to give the highlights in this post. To see the full instructions and to get the blank Bingo card for this month, head over to the post in the Gingerscraps forum.
Each month, MagsGraphics will provide a Bingo cards with different items to complete. Things like: 1 layout with a border. 1 layout with a GS Free-With-Purchase Kit, 1 layout about spring break, etc. The idea, of course, is to get Bingo. Specific instructions on how to full out the card are in the forum. The good news, is that only one of the layouts has to be unique for this challenge (not used in other GS challenges). The other spots can be other challenges for this month (or within the last three months).
Here are a couple of finished bingo cards from March. As you can see, some choose to fill out only the line that makes BINGO and others fill out any of the squares that the task is complete.

Doesn’t this look like fun? I’m going to try to work on getting BINGO this month. I’ll show my card in a wrap-up post at the end of the month.
Here is a glimpse at April’s card. Remember to head over the forum for the complete rules.
Next, let’s look at the 365/52 Challenge. This one is hosted by Heather Z Scraps. This challenge is fairly straightforward. The only real rule is that the pictures used must be from the current week you are working on. If you take a lot of pictures and document everything, this may be the challenge for you. The good news? Each week counts as one challenge point. If you do layouts for 3 weeks of the month, that’s 3 of your 10 layouts done.
There are so many different ways you can choose to do these. Here are a few below, but browse the gallery and see what others are doing. These is also an FAQ thread on the forum to help if you have questions.

And now for a sneak peek at the kit you will get for completing your challenges:
Leave a comment and let me know if you are going to try either of these challenges. Happy Scrapping!

April 2020 Challenges
Apr

2020
Hey there scrappers. Did you know that GingerScraps has 28 challenges you can complete each month? Yep – 28. I know. I was blown away when I actually counted them. Did you know that if you complete any 10 of these, you get a free FULL SIZED KIT designed especially for this purpose (see the bottom of this post)? That’s just crazy, right?
In order to get your rewards, you must keep track of your layouts in the Cookie Jar tracking thread in forum. You just copy and paste the information MissDamsel has provided into a new post. During the month, every time you create a layout for a challenge, come back to your message and edit it with the link to your layout in the gallery.

Well, Spring has sprung. Well… mostly. We actually had frost on our windows on Thursday morning, but I think we’re past any chance of really cold weather. This was probably the mildest winter since we moved to North Carolina 20 years ago.
It’s the beginning of April, so you know that means a new Free with Purchase. Get this full kit as a bonus when you spend $10 in the store.
~~Signs of Spring~~
Don’t forget to grab the Survivor Mega Collab. Even if you aren’t playing, this bundle has so many great things in it.
Now let’s get a look at all the new releases.
Remember if you complete 10 challenges, you get this amazing kit!

So. Hi. Hmm. Really not sure what to put. I mean it’s exciting there are new kits coming out. Plenty of time to create those layouts and all that. But the face of the world is changing, and it’s scary. I promise, this isn’t to bring you down, but check out the forums. There are plenty of people, of all different backgrounds, stuck in the same circumstances.
And, also, a big huge shout out to all the healthcare workers, from the doctors and nurses, to the ones keeping those patients fed and those rooms clean, we appreciate you.
To the mail carriers, thank you for helping us maintain that quarantine, and delivering our goods. And all the other folks doing deliveries as well!
To the cashiers and stockers, truck drivers, and all the other essentials, the world is still moving because of you. Thank you!
Now, for some adorable layouts to showcase some awesome new stuff coming out!
Scrappin’ Serenity has an amazing kit coming out, and it’s all about those April Showers!
