Weekly Wrap-up: What’s your favorite challenge?

Oct

2012

Good afternoon my friends!

I know generally I sit down and spend the morning with you, but this morning the family and I had quite a bit of running around to do. We had a great morning and now I’m here to babble to you about this and that.

I know, you’re excited.

You should always have an air of excitement around you- it keeps things interesting.

The first week of October, come and gone. Can you believe that Christmas…Christmas… is only 79 days away. SEVENTY-NINE DAYS! Crazy. I have so many projects to start, finish, print for the holidays that I’m already behind.  I need something to organize all my crazy to do, and I couldn’t help but eye up the new Hybrid Plan it! Charts from Connie Prince (JenE Creations).

The more I sit here looking at it, I just know it’s going in my cart the minute I finish writing. I love that not only is there a schedule, but chore chart, work out chart AND A CREATIVE TEAM CHART!  How fun is that?!

Well, now that you’ve seen the new buffet and our new challenges what do you think?

I am in super love with our October Buffet: Fall Festival. It is ridiculous, and by ridiculous I mean that in an absolutely good way.

I am really into the challenges this month too. There are some fun new twists- like the mix-it-up challenge hosted by Crystal of Inspired Designs. I’ve been wanting to do a strictly black and white page, and now I’ve got double the motivation to get started. I really like simple hybrid challenges (since I’m totally not a Hybrid chick- you ladies that do Hybrid regularly are incredible), something that is 1, 2, 3 and done, so I’m really excited about this month’s Hybrid challenge hosted by JenC Designs.

Don’t just limit your thinking to Halloween/candy tag! I’m envisioning gift tags (for Christmas!) and cute jar labels too!

Today is the LAST day of Ocean Wide Designs Grand Opening Sale!

You’ve got a few hours left to take advantage of Meg, I mean… Meg’s sale! 😉

My favorite product? Her Sea Charts templates. I just picked up this pack last night:

I have every intention of picking up a few more too! 😀

That’s all I’m going to leave you with today, I’ve got to get my tush up and to exercise class!

Have a happy scrappy Sunday evening!

Fresh Baked for October 05, 2012

2012

Oh, brr. Fall has really set in here. It’s chilly, and the wind has a definite bite to it. It’s going to make that trip to the RenFest something to remember.

I love RenFests. I love the time period they’re set in, and I just love all the costumes. I also love that it’s set in the woods. That means lots of trees. At ours, they hang mirrors from the trees, and the capture the light in such cool ways. I could spend a few hours just watching the reflections on the ground.

Speaking of fests and fall, have you seen October’s buffet created by the Gingerscraps designers? It’s called Fall Festival, and it would completely work for any sort of festival. I picked out a few layouts that I just adored in the gallery using the buffet items.


Created by Inspired Designs. Yeah, even the designers can’t resist this buffet. I love the pictures. I love babies with just a few little teeth!


Created by JillW. I love the filter/effect on the photo. The clusters are gorgeously done.


Created by MamaCake. I love the clusters and the scatters. Such beautiful work.

Before I get to that, though, we can’t forget the Bake Sale! You still have today to catch some items on sale!

I’d like to remind you about the Monthly Mix, created by Unforgettable Moments, Twin Mom Scraps, Joyful Heart, Find Your Bliss, and Colie’s Corner. It’s a beautiful kit, and so well done!

It’s so perfect for this time of year, with everyone back in school. The colors also work for field trips, and so much more.

Don’t forget that when you spend $10 in the store, you get it this beauty, for free.

Happy Thursday everyone!

I’m here to brighten your morning by sharing with you some great sneak peeks of what’s to come tomorrow!

That’s not all, she has another release!

Both, totally different, yet look great!

A new release from Neverland Scraps, will have you putting on your grass skirt (you know you’ve got one in the closet!) and  throwing your own luau!

Blue Heart Scraps new release will have you pushing harder, stronger, you can do it! Fight your way through it! Whatever it is, you’re a lot tougher than you think.

Last, but not least, Amy Stoffel has got a spooky treat for us! Check out that bloody alpha! It’s to die for! 😉

Challenge Spotlight – Buffet Challenge

Oct
2
2012

Good morning, ladies and HAPPY OCTOBER! I can’t believe we’re already 9 months down and three to go before 2013–that is just plain craziness! But we’re finally heading into my favorite month: FALL! And I do use the term fall loosely since I was over 90 degrees here in Texas this past week–ugh! But right now it is a cool(ish) 76 and I’m hoping it’s all breezy days and chilly nights from here on out! 🙂

Speaking of fall, have you seen the new GingerScraps buffet? It’s called Fall Festival and it’s pretty darn gorgeous! Given that, this week I’ve decided to spotlight the October Buffet Challenge hosted by Kathy of Kathy Winters Designs! If you haven’t seen the new buffet (which just came out yesterday and is on sale right now!), take a look at a few of the beautiful minis to get an idea of just how awesome this month’s buffet is!

I know, I know: you totally love it. So do I! 🙂 Just looking at the warm oranges and browns make me want to throw on a hoodie and go to a pumpkin patch! So for this challenge, all you have to do is scrap a lovely page using some of the items from the fall-abulous buffet! (That was kind of a reach, but I know you feel me.)  Pretty easy, right? Create a page, post it in the buffet challenge section of the gallery and the thread and tally your point! Want some inspiration? Even though the new month just started, there are already some superb layouts in the gallery! Take a look!

WOW. I am seriously impressed; I really love all of these pages! LoveloveLOVE Amy’s title work, Bren’s fall-ish floral clusters and victoriansoup’s pretty polka dot background. 🙂 Now, let’s see your pretty fall layouts! I’m anxious for fall to actually get here so I can take some pretty pumpkin pics and scrap them! 🙂 All you have to do is: scrap, post, tally your points! Get those points jotted down in the October Challenge Points Tracking thread to start earning your way to awesome rewards! 🙂

Alright gals, that’s it for me. You all have a wonderful week and get to scrapping! 🙂
