Challenge Spotlight – Buffet Challenge

Hey there and good morning, all! Hope everyone’s week is off to a fabulous start! This week I am spotlighting an easy challenge that should get you scrapping: the buffet challenge hosted by Rachel of Harmony Star! This month’s buffet is called Hopes and Dreams and it evokes thoughts of a new year, a fresh start and looking forward. I simply love the palette and all the unique packs the designer came up with for the buffet. Here are a few of my favorite pieces:

All such gorgeous work and I love how each designer had a different take! This buffet should make for some fun, creative and of course, beautiful layouts. Here’s some inspiration from the ladies who are participating in this challenge!

I had to stop myself at my usual 3 layout highlights because they’re all so pretty! You really must head over to the forum and see for yourself because everyone done a great job with this buffet challenge!

Now you should go make the gallery even awesomer! 😉 Scrap a page using this month’s buffet, post it and start earning points towards a reward! You’ll need to snag yourself a post in the January Challenge Points Tracking thread and keep track of your completed challenges throughout the month so we can reward you after January 31st.  If you have any questions about any of the challenges, drop by the Cookie Jar and ask away! 🙂

That’s it for this Tuesday; have a fantastic week and see y’all here next week! 🙂

Fresh Baked: January 04, 2013

Okay, we’ve had a few days to get used to it being 2013. I’ve already had to write it once on a check. I’m so proud of myself! I didn’t mess up with it, either! Yay! Go me. Instead, I messed up on the month. I tried to say it was December 2013. Yeah, that’s a little too far into the future. Oh well!

I still can’t believe that it’s truly 2013 though. Who has already abandoned those resolutions? Not me! Not yet. Give me time. I’m sure I will!

If you’re not planning on quitting them, make sure you check out the Hopes and Dreams buffet by the Gingerscraps designers! Keep track of those goals and achievements with a beautiful combination of blues, purples, and yellows! I seriously love this month’s buffet, and choosing layouts using it was not easy!


A Facebook timeline created by beckyroy. The cluster work on this is just amazing. I love it!


A beautiful layout created by Lisa. I don’t know about anyone else, but that sounds like goals I have. I love the little floating flowers around, and use of white space.


Gorgeous layout created by Nickala27. I love reading about other people’s “word” for the year. Hope is such a good one! Beautiful cluster work and use of the brads.

Remember, that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag created by one of our amazing designers. January’s has been created by Laetitia, of Kawouette Designs, and it is just lovely!

Sneak Peeks

 

Happy Thursday GingerScrappers! I’ve got a couple sneak peeks of just a few of the great new kits coming out this Friday! I’ve been away a couple weeks, and coming back to see so much awesomeness by our team of designers gets me all sorts of giddy. I sure hope you are excited because they (our designers) are starting 2013 off with a BANG!

First, I’m super thrilled about this new kit from Sugar Kissed Designs. The colors are crisp, fresh and GREEN! Oh how I love the green!

I really like how muted, yet at the same time, crisp all the elements are. That feisty green is just perfect!

The second kit I’ve got to share with you is by Pixelily Designs. Another fun kit to start of the year right, no matter what your scrapping preference (whether it be 365/52 or more casual!).

I am totally digging all the word bits and art in Pixelily’s kit! Especially since I’m not one to journal I tend to covet any kind of wordy fun in a kit.

There are also some great templates coming tomorrow! A fun and funky blocked set by Pretty in Green:

As a newb (newbie)  to the 365/52 scrapping world this year, I like Pretty in Green’s templates as a great start for weekly pages!

That’s all I’ve got for you today, but I promise all this and more tomorrow in the store! You’ll only be sorry if you don’t  check out the store Friday morning!
