Sneak Peek 4-25-13

April 25, 2013 by

Good morning everybody.  I hope this post is finding everyone healthy and happy.  It is really starting to feel like Spring here.  The trees are all turning green and all of my flowers are blooming.  It would be so nice outside if the pollen wasn’t so high:)

The designers at Gingerscraps are incredibly busy  getting ready for iNSD weekend .  It is such a fun weekend and the party starts May 2nd (Thursday) and lasts the ENTIRE weekend!! Join us at Gingerscraps for blog hops, challenges, chats, games and much more!  I can’t wait!!!!

I have one layout to share with you today and it is really cute.  I love the papers and the country feel of this kit by Snips and Snails Designs.  I can’t wait to play with this one.  I know I have several recipes that need new recipe cards and I’m thinking this kit will do the trick.

Well, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week and I’ll see ya next week with some new goodies.  Thanks for stopping by:)

Challenge Spotlight – Inspiration Challenge

April 23, 2013 by

Last Monday, the nation was pained when the Boston bombing occurred.  Last Wednesday, more pain came as a massive explosion in West, TX resulted in 14 fatalities and 200 injured. The world has become a crazy place and these tragedies remind us that life is precious and short. Please take a moment today to tell your family and friends how much they mean to you.

~

Good morning, beautiful ladies; I hope this blog finds you all well! This week I am spotlighting a challenge that is new and different every month, the inspiration challenge! This month, the inspiration challenge is hosted by Szabina of Sabee’s Creative World and I just love what she picked out to inspire us. Bold, retro patterns are everywhere lately and chevron print seems to win the race for latest design obsession! Szabina has picked chevron strips as this month’s inspiration and even has some for you to download and create with!

Freebie alert–awesome! Thanks for this challenge Szabina, I personally love chevron anything and I can’t wait to download this and create something. 🙂 I’m a little behind the class though, because the forums ladies have jumped on this and made some outstanding layouts already. Take a look:

Ok, I really had to hold back because I just love ALL the layouts in the gallery for this challenge so far! They’re all so gorgeous–seriously. I picked these three pages so you could see how the chevron strips can be hidden in lovely clusters, used boldly to bring attention to a photo or blown up, colored and even turned into arrows–clever! There are a lot more techniques being used with these chevron stripes, so make sure you check out the inspiration challenge gallery to get some ideas on how you’ll use them. 🙂

Alright–it’s crunch time. You’ve only got one more week to complete your April challenges and get them posted in the April Challenge Points Tracking thread for credit. Want a free buffet piece? How about two? How about a $5 store gift certificate? Check out the rewards system to see what you need to do to get yourself a nifty prize. If you’ve got any questions about our challenges, head over to the Cookie Jar and leave us a note. 🙂

That’s it for this week–see y’all next week! Be safe out there. <3

Sneak Peeks 4-18-13

April 18, 2013 by

Good Morning Ladies!  I hope everyone is doing well and having a good week.  Things here have been busy, busy busy!  We have had several celebrations and made some wonderful family memories.  I can’t wait to get my pictures uploaded and start scrapping.

Here are two layouts that are beautiful.  The first one is from a new kit from Snips and Snails Designs that is being released on Friday.  I love the chalk board  paper and the elements really pop right off the page.  It is stunning work.

 

The next layout I would like to share is a kit from Pixelily Designs.  It looks like it is going to be perfect for a lot of different types of layouts.  I love the banner and  the word art is really fantastic.  Another super layout 🙂

I love the two different kits that are being released on Friday and I am sure there will be a ton more.  Make sure you check out the store on Friday and I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hey scrappers!  I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  We are in the midst of Spring Break here, and so far so good.  We enjoyed Easter and the weather is finally starting to feel like Spring.  YAY!!!  I have some beautiful pages to share with you today.  The new kits will be available on Friday so make sure you check them out.

I really like the shades of purple and the turquoise just jumps off the page.  The patterned paper is awesome and the word bits are perfect for so many types of layouts.  Snips and Snails Designs has done a great job with this kit.  I can’t wait to see the entire thing.

I really love templates and Angelclaude ArtRoom’s new set is looks fantastic!  I love all the different photo’s and the way they are placed on the paper.

Sugar Kissed Designs has done it again.  I love the orange and blue together and I bet you have perfect pictures to go with this cute kit.  I love all the stars.

Well, I don’t know about you but I can’t wait till Friday.  There is so much goodness it’s going to be a crazy shopping day  for me.  I hope everyone enjoys the rest of your week and make sure you check back here on Friday for all of these treasures.  See ya next time;)
