Fresh Baked for October 05, 2012
October 5, 2012 by
Oh, brr. Fall has really set in here. It’s chilly, and the wind has a definite bite to it. It’s going to make that trip to the RenFest something to remember.
I love RenFests. I love the time period they’re set in, and I just love all the costumes. I also love that it’s set in the woods. That means lots of trees. At ours, they hang mirrors from the trees, and the capture the light in such cool ways. I could spend a few hours just watching the reflections on the ground.
Speaking of fests and fall, have you seen October’s buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers? It’s called Fall Festival, and it would completely work for any sort of festival. I picked out a few layouts that I just adored in the gallery using the buffet items.
Created by Inspired Designs. Yeah, even the designers can’t resist this buffet. I love the pictures. I love babies with just a few little teeth!
Created by JillW. I love the filter/effect on the photo. The clusters are gorgeously done.
Created by MamaCake. I love the clusters and the scatters. Such beautiful work.
Before I get to that, though, we can’t forget the Bake Sale! You still have today to catch some items on sale!

I’d like to remind you about the Monthly Mix, created by Unforgettable Moments, Twin Mom Scraps, Joyful Heart, Find Your Bliss, and Colie’s Corner. It’s a beautiful kit, and so well done!

It’s so perfect for this time of year, with everyone back in school. The colors also work for field trips, and so much more.
Don’t forget that when you spend $10 in the store, you get it this beauty, for free.

So, while you go and check out all the awesome yummy goodies in the store, I’m going to go find myself a nice warm cup of coffee or cocoa, my comfy warm slippers, and opening up Photoshop. I don’t know about you, but I’m totally in the mood to scrap now!

Happy Thursday everyone!
I’m here to brighten your morning by sharing with you some great sneak peeks of what’s to come tomorrow!
Check it, new releases by Keep in Touch Designs, Neverland Scraps and Blue Heart Scraps! Plus, a bonus peek at what our Guest Designer, Amy Stoffel has for us!
First, lets see what’s coming from Keep in Touch Designs, reminiscent of summer days quickly fading.
That’s not all, she has another release!
Both, totally different, yet look great!
A new release from Neverland Scraps, will have you putting on your grass skirt (you know you’ve got one in the closet!) and throwing your own luau!
Blue Heart Scraps new release will have you pushing harder, stronger, you can do it! Fight your way through it! Whatever it is, you’re a lot tougher than you think.
Last, but not least, Amy Stoffel has got a spooky treat for us! Check out that bloody alpha! It’s to die for! 😉
All this and more will be coming to you fresh tomorrow morning!
Have a great day friends!
Challenge Spotlight – Buffet Challenge
October 2, 2012 by
Good morning, ladies and HAPPY OCTOBER! I can’t believe we’re already 9 months down and three to go before 2013–that is just plain craziness! But we’re finally heading into my favorite month: FALL! And I do use the term fall loosely since I was over 90 degrees here in Texas this past week–ugh! But right now it is a cool(ish) 76 and I’m hoping it’s all breezy days and chilly nights from here on out! 🙂
Speaking of fall, have you seen the new GingerScraps buffet? It’s called Fall Festival and it’s pretty darn gorgeous! Given that, this week I’ve decided to spotlight the October Buffet Challenge hosted by Kathy of Kathy Winters Designs! If you haven’t seen the new buffet (which just came out yesterday and is on sale right now!), take a look at a few of the beautiful minis to get an idea of just how awesome this month’s buffet is!
I know, I know: you totally love it. So do I! 🙂 Just looking at the warm oranges and browns make me want to throw on a hoodie and go to a pumpkin patch! So for this challenge, all you have to do is scrap a lovely page using some of the items from the fall-abulous buffet! (That was kind of a reach, but I know you feel me.) Pretty easy, right? Create a page, post it in the buffet challenge section of the gallery and the thread and tally your point! Want some inspiration? Even though the new month just started, there are already some superb layouts in the gallery! Take a look!

WOW. I am seriously impressed; I really love all of these pages! LoveloveLOVE Amy’s title work, Bren’s fall-ish floral clusters and victoriansoup’s pretty polka dot background. 🙂 Now, let’s see your pretty fall layouts! I’m anxious for fall to actually get here so I can take some pretty pumpkin pics and scrap them! 🙂 All you have to do is: scrap, post, tally your points! Get those points jotted down in the October Challenge Points Tracking thread to start earning your way to awesome rewards! 🙂
Alright gals, that’s it for me. You all have a wonderful week and get to scrapping! 🙂
Fresh Baked: New Guest Designer, New Buffet, and More
October 1, 2012 by
I just cannot believe that September is over. It flew by! I’m excited for October though. Pumpkin patch visits will be happening. Leaves will be piling on the ground, begging to be jumped into!
This month, it’s going to be all about the festivals that happen in the fall. For my family, we look forward to Ren Fest, which we usually go to in September, but this year, we’re going in October.
Do you have a favorite festival that you look forward to going to each year? If you do, then you’ll love the new buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers! It’s called Fall Festival.
Before I get to that, though, we can’t forget the Bake Sale!
https://store.gingerscraps.net/-1.00-BakeSale-Oct-1-5/
Oh, I just can’t take all the goodness, and I haven’t even started.
The colors are perfect for most any layout involving any aspect of fall. The designers went all out and did an amazing job! This month, to show off better what each designer designed, we’re breaking up the big image into several ones. [Read more…]
