Challenge Spotlight – Template Challenge #2

Hello ladies and welcome to the last challenge spotlight for the month of May–WHAT?! Yes, I can’t believe June is going to be here next week. Where in the heck did the first half of this year go? Even crazier, I just realized this month also marks ten years since my high school graduation. Time really flies! Before the last week of May flies off, make sure you join us for a last few challenges to earn yourself a shiny new reward! This week I am spotlighting the second template challenge hosted by Wendy Tunison! I love Wendy’s templates and I’m always psyched when I see her hosting a template challenge; take a look at what she has for us this month:

Banners? Scatters? Oh yes, I like this template. 😉 Check out what the ladies in the forum have already submitted using this temp:

Lovely pages, ladies! 🙂 Like I mentioned earlier, this is the last week of May, so if you want a rad reward come next month, make sure you’ve got your tally going in the May Challenge Points Tracking thread! If you have a question about this or any of our challenges, swing by the cookie jar and ask away. 🙂

That’s it for me for this month…see y’all in June! 🙂

Fresh Baked: May 24, 2013

Good morning! I hope your week was good! This weekend signifies the “start” of summer in the States with Memorial Day. The opening of the pools happen. In a lot of areas, schools are out this week as well. The designers are definitely in the Summer spirit. So many colorful and fruit-filled kits this week! There are also several red-white-and-blue themed kits, to celebrate Memorial Day. Oh, and Connie Prince has an add-on for her Project 2013 kit for June!

Some of you amazing gallery artists definitely need to give me some tips on layout creating, because they are amazing. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! I chose one using the Spring Fling buffet series, and two using Signs of Spring, the monthly mix for May.


Adorable layout created by MamaCake.  I love the film strip aspect of this layout. It’s so beautifully done!


Amazing picture-less layout created by jenevang. I love the way that this is done. The elements are so big and it just plays beautifully.


Lovely layout created by sarahm172. I love how the clusters and pictures are framed. It’s just so well done!
