Challenge Spotlight – Color Challenge

Hello all, hope this finds you doing well this rainy week in June (at least in Texas). 🙂 This week I am spotlighting the color challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs. Ivonne has picked out a really funky, retro color palette for you to scrap with this month and it’s definitely 70s-inspired; check it out:

I am loving the teal and orange combo! It’s a great palette for scrapping all those masculine layouts that you still want to have a pop of bright color in. If you want a little inspiration, take a look at some of the layouts the forum ladies have already created for this challenge:

By gethane

By emscraps

Love these layouts! We’ve got so many kits in the store that have a touch of this color palette…including this month’s buffet! Check out these layout credits in the gallery if you’re curious which kit was used. 🙂 There;s only two more weeks left in June (WOW!), so make sure you’re keeping track of your completed challenges in the June 2013 Challenge Tracking thread so you can get a shiny new reward for all your hard work come next month. 🙂

That’s it for today! Y’all have a great week and I’ll see you back here next Tuesday for the last challenge spotlight of the month. 🙂

Challenge Spotlight – Inspiration Challenge

Good morning, all! Hope this finds you well. 🙂 This week I am spotlighting a fun little challenge I sometimes forget about but always end up loving: the inspiration challenge hosted this month by Isabel of Crisdam Designs! Here’s the inspiration image:

The goal is easy: use pennants/banners in your layout! Banners are so on trend right now for both digital scrapping and traditional paper crafting, so this is a cinch! I personally love banners and pennants; they are a great way  to add extra layers and depth without much effort! Check out these layouts to get your creative juices flowing…

Whether you use one, two or even three banners, this is an easy way to create more visual interest in your layout! Do you use banners and pennants in your scraps? If not, now is the time to try…and get rewarded for it! 😉 Don’t forget, you’ll need to keep track of all your completed monthly challenges in order to snag that reward, so swing by the June Challenge Tracking Thread and start your tally. If you have any questions, you can leave them in the Cookie Jar and someone will get back to you asap. 🙂

That’s it for this week; have a great one and I’ll see you next Tuesday! 🙂

Sneak Peek 6-6-13

 

Hello Scrappers!  I hope everyone is doing well.  I don’t know about where you live , but it is finally starting to feel like Summer here.  The days are getting longer and the kids are getting restless with school.  I can’t believe we only have a week left.  I think everybody around here is looking forward to the summer break.

Don’t forget that Father’s Day is coming up very quickly and I have a few layouts to share with you.  Pretty In Green has a terrific looking kit coming out on Friday.  It will be perfect for all those moments that are shared with all the special dads out there.  I love the bears, they are adorable!

I can’t wait to see the entire kit by VialoMoni.  I love the bright colors and I’m really excited to play with it.

Well, I’m going to head out and try to get as much done as I can the next few days before the kids are out for good.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I hope you guys enjoy all the goodies that the designers have for you that are being released on Friday.  See ya next week!

Challenge Spotlight – Signature Challenge

Good morning, all! Hope your week is off to a great start; can you believe it’s now June?! It’s crazy to think that we’re already in the middle of the year, summer starting up…Christmas will be here before you know it! 😉

This week I am spotlighting a super quick, super easy challenge: the signature challenge hosted by Rebecca of Twin Mom Scraps! Usually we just have a theme to follow, but Rebecca has created a way cool template for us to work with this month instead! Sometimes I lack creativity with my forum siggy, so I love this! Take a look:

Awesome; thanks for the fun siggy temp, Rebecca! 🙂 I think the signature challenge is the first one most people do because it’s quick and fun. (Personally, I haven’t changed my sig since January…maybe this is the month to fix that!) Here’s some of the siggys the forum gals have come up with; they’re so bright and summery!

By emscraps

By momeee

By gethane

These are so awesome! Since the siggy area is somewhat small, this template is a great way to get your creative juices flowing here but still stay within the space–pretty great, right? 🙂

This is a new month, so you should run over to the June Challenge Points tracking thread and snag yourself a new spot to keep track of all your completed challenges! You know we have some sweet rewards for you at the end of the month, so don’t slack (like I usually do)! 😉

Y’all have a wonderful rest of your week–don’t forget to stop by the bake sale while all those full-size products are still just $1! See you next Tuesday. 🙂

Sneak Peek 5-30-13

Hey Scrappers!  How are you doing this week?  I can’t wait to scrap some of our pictures from our Memorial Day weekend.  We kept our get together very small this year but,  our memories of all that have served and sacrificed for this great Nation were in our thoughts.

I have a few things for you to take a peek at….I can hardly wait to show them to you so here we go.

This kit from Aprilisa Designs  looks like it will be perfect for all the cookout and summertime fun pictures.  I love the papers and I just love the little hamburger and popsicle elements. This is way too cute!!!

This layout just shows off the other wonderful elements in this kit.  Great job ladies!!

I love the look of this sneak peek by Violamoni.  The color are so soft and sweet.  I love the little tag that says message in a bottle. I can’t wait to see the entire kit.

Well, that’s all I have to share with you right now.  I hope everyone has a safe rest of the  week and get out there and make memories.

I’ll see ya next week!
