Fresh Baked: August 07, 2015

Happy Friday! How has the week been treating you? Did you fill up some delicious buffet goodies? Well, hopefully not too full because the designers did an amazing job getting some yummy goodies ready for this week! Some wonderful templates, gorgeous kits, and even some add-ons to make your layouts that much more spectacular!

Before I get to our awesome goodies, I want to show of a few layouts created using the new Buffet and this month’s Monthly Mix, “Born Sisters, Forever Friends”!


Created by Dady. I love the use of white space with the photo blended and framed.


Created by MamaCake. The colors of the kit contrast so beautifully with the pictures.


Created by emscraps. I love the cluster, and the gradient used with the title.

Scrapping Survivor *Lost at Sea* – Week 3

How much fun is everyone having? It’s hard to believe it’s already week 3. Before we go further, head over to the Week 2 Gallery to see the awesome letters our ladies wrote.

So what are our scrappers turned pirates up to this week?

While you wait to see if your message in a bottle finds its way to a willing savior, you have continued to put on your pirate disguise each day. You are blending in quite well, and actually learning some very interesting things about these pirates.

One buccaneer told you that the pirate captain has a treasure hidden on his ship, it is said to be a huge booty of doubloons and rare gems! He wants to get a crew together to steal the treasure. This sounds like risky business to you, the last thing you need is to get wrapped up in some crime with a band of pirates! You wish the buccaneer luck and move along.

As you walk away you begin to think about your own life, and your treasures. If you were to make a treasure chest, what prized possessions would you stowaway?

Week 3 – {Booty} *The Challenge*
This layout is all about your own “booty”. If you were to put your most prized possessions in a treasure chest, what would they be?

The Layout Rules-

This layout is all about your own “booty”

  • The LO must have at least 2 of your most precious possessions.
  • The LO MUST have photos of the items you would put in your treasure chest.
  • There is no maximum numbers items or of photos allowed.
  • Be sure to journal on your page, so we can learn what your treasures are, and you can preserve them in a scrapbook page for years to come.
  • In the Tribal Council forum post, type out your journaling, so all players can read your journaling.
  • Templates ARE ALLOWED in this challenge.
  • You must use ALL 100% GingerScraps products when creating your Layout.
  • *Remember* Always credit the products you are using, when posting in the gallery. List the credits in the description box when uploading. When checking layouts, I need to be sure all products are from GS designers- so credits are crucial!!

Here are a few tips/ ideas for your layout composition-

  • You treasures do not have to be actual physical items, for example, if one is your religion, then find an item that will represent that, such as a bible.
  • Maybe your treasure is your child or pet, then find something that can represent that child or pet, something that you could take a photo of, like a drawing by your child, or your dogs favorite toy.

Make sure to check out the Week 3 Gallery and leave some love for our pirate ladies!!

GS_Survivor_6_LostAtSea_Gallery_Week_2

It is that time of the week! Well, it will be while Survivor Lost At Sea is going!! We take a look back at some of the layouts from week 2. You guys, once again, have made my job really difficult. I am going to have to start choosing more-and-more layouts with the coming weeks!

Week 2- {Message in a Bottle} *The Challenge*
This layout is all about your “message in a bottle”. You need to write a letter to the person you think (or you wish) would come to your rescue. This person can be living or passed on, they can be a person you know, or someone that you wish would save you (like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).

 

I really enjoyed looking through the layouts & reading all the messages in the bottle. I am a huge fan of journaling pages. So, this was right up my alley!! Here are just a few of the stand out layouts from week two’s challenge. (all images are linked to the gallery. You know, so you can go leave the love!)

Such great takes on the challenge, right?! You can go to the gallery to read the message in the bottle for all of them but Little Rad Trios. Her’s you can read pretty well off the layout. The rest have them typed out in the credits. They are worth the read!! Make sure you are getting your layouts up in the gallery before the deadline. By doing so, not only do you take the chance of going on to the next week, you get the chance to be showcased here!! Happy Scrapping!!
