*Lost At Sea* Week Three

Good morning scrappers! It is that time of week where we take a look at the past week’s Survivor layouts. We just finished week 3!

So what was Week 3’s challenge?

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?


Here are just a few of the amazing layouts you guys scrapped! (images are linked to the gallery)

What did I tell you? Great layouts right? All so different but all stand outs in their own way. Week 4’s challenge isn’t posted yet. make sure you keep an eye on out on the forum for it to be posted. When you get those layouts scrapped, upload them to week 4’s gallery. We will be back later in the week to shout out to some of the stand outs! Have fun!

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!!

GingerBread Girl Inspiration: craftytam

GS_blog_GingerBreadGirlsInspiration_Header

Have you checked out our team page? If you haven’t, you should! I’ve been known to go there tiem-to-time when my mojo has gone on vacation. You can find links to store, galleries, and more there. Today though, we are going to focus on one of the GingerBread Girls. That is what the creative team members here at GS are called.

Today’s GingerBread Girl that we are going to check out is craftytam.

Tammy (if you didn’t catch that by her forum name) is someone I want to scrap like when I grow up! I love well done cluster work and she takes the cake! You want to see what I am talking about, right? Let us take a look a just a few of Tammy’s great layouts!


Are they not lovely?! Of course one of the main things that stand out from her layouts is the great cluster work. Wonderful shadowing and knowing just where to tuck elements in to make it appealing to the eye, isn’t always easily done. Tammy makes them look just that, easy!

What else is noticeable about her layouts is that she doesn’t shy away from bold colors and fun patterns. Sometimes people are scared from a stand out and shout at you patterned paper. Tammy knows how to take those kinds of papers and make them work for her. And of course, great photos!!

That is all we have for you today. We hope you find some inspiration by taking a look at the Tammy’s layouts. It is always an honor to have someone scrap lift you! If you got inspiration from this and scrap-lifted a layout, make sure to link us up! Run over to the gallery, load that lovely layout up, and come back here. One thing we like to do around here is leave layout lovin’!

4th of July & Canada Day

GS_blog_LetsCelebrate_Header

Good Monday morning! For those in the states, did you have have a good Independence Day? Canadians, did you have a good Canada Day?! I hope you did and I hope you took lots of photos. I am here today to help take the chore of looking for kits for said photos. We are going to take a look at some of the great digital scrapbooking supplies in the store to scrap those 4th of July and Canada Day photos!

Just like the holiday’s before, we have an entire section dedicated to patriotic digital scrapbooking supplies. If you already have the ones I am about to showcase in your stash or just want something else, make sure to check there. Here are just a few items to get your patriotic layouts scrapped. (all images linked).

 

 

 

 

Some great designs, right? We would love to see what you are scrapping with our patriotic designs. Make sure you upload your layouts to the gallery. There is a challenge that goes perfectly with these patriotic goodies. There are a lot more patriotic items in July’s Buffet. You can take those July Buffet layouts & take part in the Buffett challenge in the forum! There is also a color challenge this month that would work well with your patriotic layouts! So, get those holiday photos scrapped & links us up!

Disney Fonts

Good morning scrappers. Team member La’Shawn here to talk about fonts. I think it comes with the scrappy territory…font addiction. I don’t think I’ve met a scrapper who didn’t have more fonts than they could ever use. That being said, if you are anything like me, you never stop to think about adding another font to your collection. Remember when we talked about Disney pages the other day?! Well, here are 7 Disney fonts for you pages!

My favorite is Monster’s Inc. one! I love the little eyes looking out at you. Now, I bet you want to know where you can get these (and more!)…right?! Below is where you can get each font. I hope you like them. If you make a page with them, come back and link us up in the comments!

Celebrate | Father’s Day

GS_blog_LetsCelebrate_Header

I cannot even tell you how excited I get for Father’s Day around scrappy town. Tomorrow, is Father’s Day here in the states. A time to celebrate those wonderful men in our lives. I am surrounded by males in my life. Hardly a female in sight. So, I always look forward to the masculine kits that come out this time of the year. GS has a section dedicated to those kind of kits. You can click the image above to look around and grab what you like. I did a bit of looking around for you! Taking the hard part out of your father day kit shopping. Here are a few of what I found! (images linked)


Great kits, right?! Happy Father’s day to all the Dads out there! Take a moment to thank those men in your lives. Remember the Dads who cannot be with their families today. Happy Father’s Day!!

It is that time again. Time to ooh & ahh over a GingerBread Girl’s layouts. Grab some inspiration and give them some gallery loving! The GingerBreak girls work hard to bring fabulous layouts with the goodies from our designers.


Today, we are going to spotlight Kirsztina. Known as Tinci throughout the scrapping world. Here are some of her lovely layouts!


Tinci’s layouts always grab my attention in the galleries. Her use of pattern paper is always spot on! She really knows how to take patterned papers and make them work! Not to mention her clustering are lovely. Everything tucked in and just in their right place. There is so much to be had from her gallery. All the images above are linked.
