Challenge Spotlight – Buffet Challenge

Good morning everyone! It’s been quite some time since I blogged about our fabulous monthly challenges; I’ve been positively swamped with school and life, but I miss letting y’all know about the challenges and prizes and funfunfun! I think it’s time to get back on the horse, don’t you? 🙂

This week I will be spotlighting the buffet challenge hosted by Monica of ViolaMoni Designs! This month’s buffet theme was designer’s choice with a lovely fall-inspired palette to tie it all together. Here’s a fun YouTube video created to show off all the awesome buffet pieces!

Love it! If you haven’t grabbed any buffet pieces, head over to the store and get yourself a little treat. 😉 The only requirement for the buffet challenge is to use pieces from the buffet–any designer, in any way! The designers have created full kits, alphas, extras, templates and more for you, so you got lots to choose from! Check out some of the submissions we’ve got so far…

Ok yes yes, I cheated and picked four layouts to highlight this time instead of three–I couldn’t help it!  The designers made so many different themes this month, I had to show some off. We’ve got wine, gargoyles, pretty positivity and of course, Halloween! I love uniquely themed kits to scrap specific life moments and this month’s buffet has several! 🙂

We’re already a week into the month, so if you haven’t started your post in the October 2013 Tracking Thread, now is the time to get the ball rolling! As always, all completed challenges earn you points towards a fabulous reward at the end of the month, so scrap scrap scrap!

That’s it for today; see y’all next week! 🙂

Fresh Baked: October 04, 2013

Hello, and good morning lovely Gingerscrappers! It’s time for that time of the week! Fresh baked goodies! The designers seem to have Halloween and spooking on the brain, and it shows in the kits. Some are spooky, some are cute. They’re all wonderful though!

GingerScraps has a  Facebook Group. This is an Open group anyone can join to share your GingerScraps Layouts, inspirational stories, scrapping funnies, questions, ISOs or anything else you’d like to share! This group gives you the chance to catch things you may have missed about GingerScraps happenings, such as sale announcements, new freebies, chats, new releases and more.

Remember this is a GingerScraps group, so please no other store product promotions.

Before I show off the amazing designs, it’s time to showcase a few great layouts, using the new Designer’s Choice buffet and All Treats, Not Tricks, the new monthly mix.


Created by chigirl. What captured my eye was the gorgeous blue in the glass! So gorgeous! The buffet colors play so beautifully with it!


Created by sladd79054. Mmm. Nice coffee! It’s always in season!


Created by Lisa. So stinking cute! The yarn ties on the side just work perfectly!

Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag! This month’s was created by Created by Jill Designs, Chere Kaye Designs, Kathy Winters Designs, Craft-tastrophic Designs, and Blue Heart Scraps.
