Fresh Baked for October 12, 2012

I can say for sure that it’s officially fall in the Midwest. Oh, you want to know how I know? The weather is the biggest clue. We go from forties for highs to seventies. In less than twenty-four hours. The lows are sometimes barely above freezing, but they’re calling for eighties. Oh fall, how I enjoy your insanity.
It’s supposedly good for the coloring of the leaves though. Or so I’ve heard. I just know that the next couple weeks are the perfect time to head out to a pumpkin patch. Maybe explore a corn maze. Last time we went to one, we all got lost. It took us almost an hour to find our way out. They claimed it would take fifteen minutes. I guess we aren’t good at directions, LOL!
This week, there are a lot of awesome things happening. We have a new designer. Well, it’s a two designers, one name type of deal. I’ll leave you in suspense until we’re ready for that announcement. The designers have some great stuff. There’s definitely something for everyone.
But, before we get into that, we’ve chosen some gorgeous layouts using our current buffet, Fall Festival. The layouts are absolute amazing. Remember, if you want a chance of your layout being chosen for the newsletter, make sure you upload it to the gallery. If it’s not there, we won’t see it.
Created by Deanna. I can’t get enough over big picture layouts, and this one is just too stinking cute!
Created by MSPeeler. I love the use of white space. I can never get it right, but I love looking at layouts that do it so well!
Created by nowens. I love the clustering. I’m a sucker for great clusters!
Now, I told you there was a new design team joining the designer squad, right? Maybe you’ve heard of these two lovely ladies: Carolyn and Jamie of Adorable Pixels. That’s right! They’re joining the team, and we’re so excited to have them.
They sound like great ladies, and I can’t wait to get them both better.
They have some great kits coming to the store. I can’t wait to play with some of them.

I know around my house the kids are getting excited about Halloween. We go all out with decorations, pumpkin carving, candy apple making, and of course dressing up. This will be a great kit to show off all your Halloween pictures. I am really loving that little spider and the witches feet are just too cute!
A NEW DESIGNER, Adorable Pixels!

2012
Hey, y’all! Hope October is off to a great start for everyone. Let’s jump right into today’s blog! Everyone loves a freebie, right? Well, today I’m spotlighting October’s mini kit challenge hosted by Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs! This is a FREEBIE challenge, so let all your scrappin’ friends know they can come join us on the challenge fun and snag an awesome mini in the process! The mini Jennifer’s got for us this month is seriously adorable; take a look!
These colors are FABULOUS! The brown, beige and red all go so well together and very fell autumn…y. (Hehe.) I’ve simply got to scrap a cute picture of my niece with this mini! Here’s some inspiration for the forum:

Really beautiful pages, ladies. You all showed off the fun patterned papers so well! Love the flower clusters on all three layouts, as well. This is simply a wonderful little mini; thank you for your generosity, Jennifer! Remember, if you have any questions on this or any other challenge, you can drop it off at the Cookie Jar and we’ll get back to you. 🙂
Now, yes the mini is cuteness defined, but that little freebie isn’t all we’ve got for you! If you complete the mini challenge, post your creation (layout, hybrid–whatever you can dream up!) in the gallery and keep track, you can earn a really great reward depending on how many challenges you complete: one buffet item of your choosing, two buffet items of your choosing or the grand prize (cue the drum roll)…a $5 store gift certificate you can spend on any kit you want! PRETTY sweet deal, if you ask me! Just start your tally in the October Challenge Points Tracking thread and at the end of the month, we’ll tally your challenges up and send you a prize: woot! ^_^ If you haven’t joined us for our monthly challenges before…well, there’s no time like the present! 🙂
That’s it for this week, all. Make sure you’re getting your challenges done and posted in the gallery so we can ooh and ahh and leave your some love! Have a fantastic week; see y’all next Tuesday! 😀
