August 2013 — Page 3

It’s officially Back to School time at Gingerscraps. At least to the designers! There are several back to school themed kits available this week! A collab between Blue Heart Scraps and Luv Ewe Designs, two from Pretty in Green, and one from Trixie Scraps. There’s more than just those, though! There’s something for everyone this week!

Now I get to share the August 2013 {Designer’s Choice} buffet layouts, and the monthly mix, Family Reunion, that were chosen this week!

Created by shmooangel. The cluster work is gorgeous. Such a wonderful layout!

Created by melissavt. I love the pictures. The banner says it all.

Created by dillydoodles. I just love the use of the old photo. The kit choice just works beautifully with it!

Before I start with the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released! If you do not know about our Welcome Wagon area, you should go check it out right away! Once you register in the forum, you will have access to the Welcome Wagon area. The designers create wonderful goodies and give them to you for FREE! The Welcome Wagon has been up and running, for over a year, so our designers are changing their goodies! New goodies, Free goodies!

Joylynn of Blue Heart Scraps has created a beautiful kit for all members! All you have to do to get it is register in the forum and check out the Welcome Wagon sub-forum! It coordinates PERFECTLY with the Daily Download, also created by Blue Heart Scraps.

Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag! This month’s was created by Aprilisa Designs.

We here at Gingerscraps hope that you have a safe and happy weekend, and we’ll see you again soon!

Howdy, scrappy ladies! Hope y’all are having a great week; how is it that it’s nearly the middle of August already? Wasn’t July just starting, now we’re getting ready for back to school? Sheesh! Now, I will be the first to admit I’m not a big fan of brushes, but this week I am spotlighting the brush challenge hosted by Wendy of Wendy Tunison Designs because the brushes Wendy chose for us to work with are just so darn cute! I’m also not a big doodly gal, but these are just awesome; take a look:

These are a little retro, a little modern and a lot rad! I’m a sucker for anything with a globe, so I loved these right away. If you’re like me and not a big brush user, take a look at some of the layouts the ladies in the forum have created for inspiration. They definitely got me wanting to use these asap!

Loving these pages, ladies! These brushes are the perfect mod accent that don’t overtake the kit or distract from the layout itself! Gorgeous! Now it’s your turn. If you’re not big into doodles or brushes, I think this is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself with a…challenge! 😉

If you haven’t started keeping track of all your completed challenges for August, there’s no time like the present! Head over to the August 2013 Tracking Thread and start your post so you can get yourself a sweet little reward at the end of the month. 🙂 Questions about this or any of our monthly challenges? Drop your query in the cookie jar and someone will get back to you as soon as possible–don’t be shy! 🙂

That’s it for today’s blog! Y’all have a wonderfully scrappy week! 🙂
