Challenge Spotlight – Template Challenge #1

February 12, 2013 by

Hello ladies and happy Tuesday!  🙂  Hope everyone’s week is off to a wonderful start; I am getting ready for my first test of the semester and I’m a little nervous; wish me luck! This week I am spotlighting a challenge with a freebie: the first template challenge hosted by Rebecca of Twin Mom Scraps!  Note: this challenge only runs through February 15, so make sure you snag it and post your submission before it goes away! Take a look at the template:

Really cute, Rebecca! I’m always a sucker for paper stacks, so you know I love this template! I’ve got big plans for this template…  😉  Of course, the layouts are already pouring into the gallery and forum. If you need some inspiration  just take a look below for a few of my favorite submissions so far…

Awesome layouts! If you notice, I also picked three pages where the template had been modified. Whether by adding a photo, taking one away or using as-is, this template is pretty versatile and I’m loving how everyone is using it for all different scrapping occasions. If you like these layouts as much as I do, drop by the gallery and leave them some love! 🙂

Now that you’re sufficiently inspired, run and go scrap! Again, the first template challenge is only through the 15th, so don’t delay in getting this one done and tallied in the February 2013 Challenge Points Tracking thread! The more challenges you complete this month, the bigger a reward you get; click here for all the rewards info. If you have  questions about this or any of the monthly challenges, head over to the Cookie Jar and ask away! We’ll get you an answer as soon as possible. 🙂

I’m off for now to go study some for my test and shouldn’t you be scrapping? 😉 See y’all next week!

Hello everybody!  I hope everyone is doing well today.  Did everybody recover from the Super Bowl?  I have to say the end of the game kept me on the edge of the chair and unfortunately my team didn’t win. Anyways, back to scrapping.  The designers this week have some awesome kits coming out this week.  I love the colors and I can’t wait to see the entire kits when they release on Friday.

The first layouts I have for you are by Blue Heart Scraps and they look adorable!  I love the way the color photos and the black and white photos just pop right off the page.

I just love Alphas and this looks super and so versatile from Unforgettable Moments. The kit that was used for these layouts is from Pretty In Green I love my boy.

This layout was made using a new kit by Dunia Designs and  the Alpha is from Amy Peck of Unforgettable Moments.  I just love the bright springy colors it’s purrfect:) .

Here are a  few beautiful layout showing off Neverland Scraps  new template.  The kit that is used is  in the first one is Just Because by  Bekah E Designs. I really like the lace down the middle and the photos displayed font and center.  Just Beautiful!!!

I  just love the photo in the center of this one too.  I really like how the layout has a nice flow to it and the cluster is perfect.  I can’t wait to see the rest of this pack of templates. This layout is using the kit What’s Cooking by Connie Prince.

 

So as you can see we have a ton of goodies coming out in the store on Friday.  Make sure you check back and pick a few things up while they are all on sale.  I hope everyone has a great day and I’ll see ya next week!

Challenge Spotlight – Desktop Challenge

January 15, 2013 by

Good morning, all.  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It was a rainy, cool weekend here in Texas and I was finally able to get some scrapping and crafting done. It’s mid-month and I’m trying to get some more challenges done. This week’s challenge spotlight is on the January 2013 Desktop Challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs! Next month will be Valentine’s and Ivonne has created a lovely desktop template to celebrate the holiday of love:

I just love pink and hearts, so decorating for Valentine’s is one of my favorite things.  Might as well decorate my desktop, while I’m at it! 🙂 If you’re not a Valentine’s fan or a pink and hearts kind of gal, here’s some inspiration for you:

By scrappinbella

By yabby

By Sarah

Beautiful takes on this template. I of course love Lydia’s hot pink and glitter desktop! I also like the boy-ish direction Yavonn went in and the cool, wintery blues Sarah used. There are a lot more lovely desktops already completed, so stop by the thread if you want some more inspiration or just want to leave some love for the talented scrappers. 🙂

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to swing by the January 2013 Challenge Tracking thread and start your tracking post. All your completed challenges will be tallied at the end of the month and you’ll get a reward based on how many you complete! Completing just one challenge gets you a reward, so make sure you jump in soon. If you want more info or have a question about any of our monthly challenges, you can post in the Cookie Jar and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

That’s it for this week’s challenge spotlight. See you next Tuesday! 🙂
