Fresh Baked for August 24, 2012

Oh goodness me. Is it really Friday? I’m telling you, these days are zooming right on by!!
As I’ve been driving around lately, I’ve been noticing more and more people on bikes. You know, fully decked out, looking like Lance Armstrong. It’s pretty cool to see people getting active and being healthy. I’d love to join in, if I had a bike. How sad is it that I don’t have one. I guess I could go out and actually run, but where do you store a water bottle when you do that? I’ve got like no hips, so it’s not like I can hook it onto the waistband of my pants. That is not a picture anyone wants to see. 😉
Soon, it’ll be cool enough in the evenings that my husband can take the kids outside and throw around a football. Maybe this will be the year that my son isn’t scared of getting hit by the ball and will actually attempt to catch it!!
What do you do for fun and exercise? Remember that the Go Team buffet has some GREAT minis that just might be perfect for you!
It’s that time again where I showcase some layouts done by our amazing Gingerscraps members!! The team here at Gingerscraps LOVE how much you all seem to enjoy the Go Team buffet!

I’m SO loving the layouts that are coming out of this buffet! I sure hope you’re enjoying them as well!!
Now, let’s get this show on the road, either on a bike or with our trusty sneakers! The designers have created some gorgeous things. There’s Back to School, prepping for 2013 calendars, getting our geek on, and so much more!
Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag. August’s was created by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps! It’s Back to School time, and this grab bag is PERFECT for it!!

Challenge Spotlight – Word Art Challenge
Aug

2012
Happy Tuesday, y’all! Can you believe it’s already the third week of August?! It’s insanity! School is about to start (woohoo!), summer is fading away (hopefully sooner than later on that one), the new fall lines are out (sorry, I work in fashion)… August is about to be over and here we come, fall! But before I keep rambling and the month ends while you’re reading this, let’s get to the challenge spotlight for this week, shall we? 🙂
This week I am spotlighting the word art challenge hosted by the ever-lovely Kathy of Kathy Winters Designs! Speaking of August, her word art freebie focuses on just that–the month of August! It’s really pretty and great for any layout…enough talk, let’s see it!
I know, right? It’s flipping awesome! I love the mix of fonts here and the WA just lends itself to being the focal point of all kinds of fabulous layouts. Need some examples of it in action? Thought you’d never ask!

WOW–absolutely love these, ladies! I love Missi’s fun yearbook feel, Ricki’s bright and fruity page and Mary Lynne’s use of the WA as a paragraph title. Seriously fabulous–y’all rock! 😀 If you want to see your layout here, make sure you’re challenge’ing it up and maybe you’ll be highlighted here next week!
If you haven’t snagged this freebie and started your layout yet…what are you waiting for?! 🙂 Make sure you’re keeping track of all your completed challenge layouts in the August Challenge Points Tracking thread. You can also read up on the rewards system if this is your first month joining in on the challenge fun. And as always, any questions about this or any of the monthly challenges should be directed to the Cookie Jar where a superawesome GS gal will get back to you faster than you can blink! Well…maybe not that fast, but pretty quickly. 😉
The month is more than halfway over, so make sure you get plenty of challenges done in time to get some awesome prizes! That’s it for today–y’all have a great week and I’ll see you back here next week for the last spotlight of the month!–EEP! 🙂 🙂 🙂
