Fresh Baked for September 21, 2012

It has truly been an eventful week! Things have been a little crazy, but in a good way, most of the time. Thursday, my brother-in-law married the love of his life, and I felt so blessed to be a part of it. It was amazing.
It reminds me of how life is so beautiful in the moments we get to share with those we love. Each moment is precious, and life can be fleeting. Getting to see two separate people become one in a union like that is pretty powerful.
I chose some layouts that remind me of the preciousness of life, using the Life is Beautiful buffet by the amazing designers here at Gingerscraps. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Created by scrapjrlgcp. I love seeing love shared between siblings, especially a newborn.
Created by jenevang. I love that quote!
Created by MamaCake. SO many pictures! I can never make a layout with that many pictures look good!
Remember, if you want your layout spotlighted in the newsletter, you have a chance! Make sure you create it using the current buffet, and upload to the buffet gallery.
When you spend $10, you get this for FREE! This month, Pixels by Jen has created September’s new Grab-bag and it is gorgeous!

Happy Thursday!
It’s sneak peek time! There are some great templates and kits coming out tomorrow! Here are just a few of them…
First up is something by Blue Heart Scraps, something bold and fun and dare I say …lyrical?
I am totally loving those music notes!
Next we have what looks like a sweet batch of templates by Pretty in Green.
(using previously released A Match Made in Heaven Buffet)
(using a NEW kit by Z Pink Boudoir Designs)
And because I just love the look of that new kit by Z Pink Boudoir Designs, here is another peak at it!
I am lusting for all these Fall pages. While I write this up, I’ve got my windows open and it’s 54 degrees out, with a cool breeze. Fall is in the air and it gets me so giddy! I positively adore that little owl and foliage. Yes, foliage- I totally love leaves and branches!!
Lastly I’ve got a fun flowery sneak peek from Twin Mom Scraps.
The patterned papers look amazing!
Don’t forget Twin Mom Scraps is our Daily Download Designer this month too! Grab the download link each day and at the end of the month you’ll have a FULL FREE kit by the end of the month! (go back a post to grab today’s!)
That’s what I’ve got for you this morning, a little bit to leave you wanting a whole lot more!
Have a happy scrappy Thursday my friends!

Challenge Spotlight – Scraplift Challenge
Sep

2012
Good morning, all; how’s your week starting out? Mine is a little hectic, but I’m just waiting for the weekend already! The weather here in Dallas is finally starting to cool off a little and every week that passes gets better and better. Enough blathering, you’re all here for the challenge spotlight! This week I am spotlighting the scraplift challenge hosted by Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs! She has picked out a really great layout for us to scraplift this month, nothing to difficult but a versatile leaping off point. Here’s the page we’re scraplifting this month:

I love April’s use of white space here and I’m always a sucker for scatters galore. The simplicity of this page makes for an easy lift with lots of options to change it up and personalize. Here are some of the great lifts already done by the very talented ladies of the GingerScraps forums…

I adore Missi’s cute little banner to go with those precious photos, the way Lisa kept to the theme with the little camera element and the fun frames and paper shapes Mish used on her layout. Beautiful lifts from a great page, all unique with personal touches! Sounds easy enough…now it’s your turn!
Stop by the scraplift challenge thread, eye the page to lift and get to scrapping! Once your done, submit it to the gallery and make sure you keep track of your completed challenge in the September Challenge Points Tracking thread. If you do, you’ll be eligible for some great rewards at the end of the month (which is almost here–EEP!). If you have any questions about this or any of the monthly challenges, drop them off in the Cookie Jar and someone fabulous will get back to you asap. That’s it for today! Have a great day and see y’all next week!
