Fresh Baked! 10/22

Happy Thursday!  Oh?  It’s Friday?  Really?  Already?  You sure?  Hmm…I guess you are right.  Happy Friday!  Boy am I all screwed up.  I’m not sure where this week went.  I have been very busy planning a lot of fun upcoming events with Ginger and our amazing teams here at Ginger Scraps!

I’ll give you a sneak peak of what’s going on!  First we have our new Gingerbread Lady Store Collab!  It is called Apple Hill and is just perfect for all of the fall pictures you have taken.

Cool Nights, Hay Rides and the taste of fresh Apple Cider.  Must mean that Fall is here and What could say “It’s Fall Y’all!” any better than this darling Apple Hill Collab created by the best little Baker’s around?  Packed full of Apple’s aplenty and sprinkled with enough extra goodies to make any layout the “cream of the crop”.

*86 Papers *128 Ellies *Fall Template *Recipe Card Set *Full Glitter Styles and Sheets

Here is what it looks like:

Let’s Get Crafty: Halloween Crafts

Hi GingerScrapers! I know..I know..I have missed a few Crafty Thursdays…I’m sorry! I have been so busy. I am the team Mom for the Freshmen Football team…our games are on Thursdays. But, not only is it the games, we feed the team and caoches before each game. It’s a big meal and I’m in charge of it!  I have to be at the school at 7am to collect all the food from the players. Make sure the food all gets warmed up by the lunch ladies, then serve the food at 2…game time at 5. So, what I’m saying here is…I’m a busy girl during Football sason 🙂 This week my kids don’t have school. We still have a football game though, but I dont have to collect the food until noon:) So, I figured I would do a little Let’s Get Crafty post for you!

Halloween is in like 10 days. I went online to find some cheap and easy Halloween projects to do with my kids and I am going to share them with you!

This first one is a great way to use up all those baby food jars you have laying around..

It’s super easy and fun to make with the kiddos. Go to Skip to my Lou for a tutorial.

How about a spooky tree…

You can get instructions and templates for this one here

How about a cute fabric banner…

You can learn how to make this on Running With Needles

How about making a “Hybrid Banner” Instead of fabric, use your digital scrapbooking supplies! There are so many cute Halloween kits at GingerScraps you could use! How about I give you a free template to make yourself a banner 🙂

I used the kit Gobblin Delights which is a GingerScraps collab that you will be able to get at our Halloween party next weekend! I use Statements by Jodis part for my banner:) Make sure you come to our Halloween Party at GingerScraps to get this kit and lots of fun games and prizes!

You can download your Free Template here!

I hope you make some time to get Crafty today! See you at the Halloween Party

You can find me (and my coupons!) on twitter, facebook, and my blog.”

Here are a few things Mandy has been working on!

What a woman to look up to!  Gitz has 19 papers and 31 elements, including days of the week, months of the year, and frames doodles by Sara herself.
