Spotlight – Hybrid Challenge
October 13, 2015 by
Good evening everyone. I thought I would pick a challenge to spotlight that a lot of people just scroll by, but can really be fun.
We’re going to look at the Hybrid Challenge. Katie of Just So Scrappy has a wonderful Halloween Hybrid project for us (but as you can see from the layouts, it doesn’t have to be Halloween).
Katie provided a template to use to make Hershey Bar and Hershey Nugget wrappers. This is what she designed with the template:
Let’s see some of the ideas submitted by our members:
How much fun are these? I would love to see what you can come up with as well!!
Remember, this challenge counts for your 10 for the monthly challenge reward.
See you next week for another spotlight!!
GingerBread Girl Inspiration: Brenian4ever
October 12, 2015 by
Good Monday morning! I am trying to find the motivation I need to get everything done today. Scrapping some layouts is part of that. Whenever I am lacking in mojo or ideas, I go looking around the galleries. The GingerBread Girls is a great place to do that! What are GingerBread Girls, you ask? Today we are going to take a look at one of those talented ladies. Get some inspiration from the GingerBread Girls. Today’s inspiration comes from Bren (Brenian4ever).
I told you there is some great inspiration to be had from Bren! She really knows how to take a layout and make it compliment her photos. She doesn’t shy away from bold & fun patterned papers. On top of everything, she has some lovely cluster and title work. All the images shown here are linked to her gallery. Run over & leave her some love. While you are there take a look around an see what grabs your attention!

Food!! Gosh, I love food. Good for you food, bad for you food, comfort food, and snacks. Just love them! I thought, it would be fun to celebrate all things food. There are food moments worth scrapping, right? I am here to take the leg work out of finding those kits for you. Did you know that here at GingerScraps, we have a section dedicated just to all things food? Well, we do! Here are just a few fun food items (say that 5 times fast!) for your scrapping pleasure. (all items linked).
Guys, there are just a small bit of the items GingerScraps has to scrap your foodie pages. If these are not what you are looking for or you want more, make sure to check out the FOODIE section of the store. We would love to see what you are scrapping!
