Challenge Spotlight – Color Challenge

Hello all, hope this finds you doing well this rainy week in June (at least in Texas). 🙂 This week I am spotlighting the color challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs. Ivonne has picked out a really funky, retro color palette for you to scrap with this month and it’s definitely 70s-inspired; check it out:

I am loving the teal and orange combo! It’s a great palette for scrapping all those masculine layouts that you still want to have a pop of bright color in. If you want a little inspiration, take a look at some of the layouts the forum ladies have already created for this challenge:

By chigirl

By gethane

By emscraps

Love these layouts! We’ve got so many kits in the store that have a touch of this color palette…including this month’s buffet! Check out these layout credits in the gallery if you’re curious which kit was used. 🙂 There;s only two more weeks left in June (WOW!), so make sure you’re keeping track of your completed challenges in the June 2013 Challenge Tracking thread so you can get a shiny new reward for all your hard work come next month. 🙂

That’s it for today! Y’all have a great week and I’ll see you back here next Tuesday for the last challenge spotlight of the month. 🙂

Hello Scrappers!  I hope everyone is doing well.  I don’t know about where you live , but it is finally starting to feel like Summer here.  The days are getting longer and the kids are getting restless with school.  I can’t believe we only have a week left.  I think everybody around here is looking forward to the summer break.

Don’t forget that Father’s Day is coming up very quickly and I have a few layouts to share with you.  Pretty In Green has a terrific looking kit coming out on Friday.  It will be perfect for all those moments that are shared with all the special dads out there.  I love the bears, they are adorable!

Fresh Baked: June 01, 2013

Happy June! I’m so absolutely thrilled to share with you the wonderfulness that is coming out of Gingerscraps this month. We have a new Bake Sale, including a new and fun way to get some really stunning kits at wonderful prices.

Before we get to that, I have to share this month’s buffet. It’s called “Just Like Dad” and it’s a theme that has been heavily requested!

We have NEW Buffet options!! You asked for it, and we listened! The GS Buffet will now included FULL size kits!! In addition to the mix and match packs, you can now also find full size kits in the buffet section. The price point has been adjusted accordingly. Everything in the Buffet will always be $4.00 and under. Every month the new Buffet items will all be 50% off (from the 1-5th of the month). That means Full kits for $2 and a ton of mix and match packs all for $1!! You will not want to miss this!

There are so few boy-based kits, when compared to the kits geared towards girls. So many people, including the CT, and even the designers, have asked for a theme for fathers or boys, and this is the result.

Remember, if you don’t want to hear the sound, just click the button next to the play button, and it will mute it for you.

The designers knocked it out of the park. The designs are just amazing and so well done!

Fresh Baked: May 31, 2013

Did you notice the date? It’s the end of the month! I know! I’m still getting used to it being May, and now it’s going to be June tomorrow. I can’t say too much, but next month’s buffet is going to be a big hit, I think. There have been a lot of requests for this theme! So make sure you keep an eye out for tomorrow’s newsletter!

The designers this week did a variety of things. Katie Creates has an adorable girly-girly kit full of make-up. Connie is all focused on graduation and the end of school. Aprilisa has a kit perfect for every barbeque. ViolaMoni has some masks that I need to get myself!

I’m excited to show off the layouts this week. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! All three layouts this week were created using Spring Fling, the May buffet.


Beautiful layout by Nandy. The yellow paper just makes the whole layout pop so beautifully. The clusters are wonderful as well!


This layout created by justpennys. I love how the paper pieces point to the pictures! Beautifully done!


Wonderful layout by Lisa. I love the flower cluster as it frames 2/3 of the picture. So well done!

Sneak Peek 5-30-13

Hey Scrappers!  How are you doing this week?  I can’t wait to scrap some of our pictures from our Memorial Day weekend.  We kept our get together very small this year but,  our memories of all that have served and sacrificed for this great Nation were in our thoughts.

I have a few things for you to take a peek at….I can hardly wait to show them to you so here we go.

This kit from Aprilisa Designs  looks like it will be perfect for all the cookout and summertime fun pictures.  I love the papers and I just love the little hamburger and popsicle elements. This is way too cute!!!

This layout just shows off the other wonderful elements in this kit.  Great job ladies!!

I love the look of this sneak peek by Violamoni.  The color are so soft and sweet.  I love the little tag that says message in a bottle. I can’t wait to see the entire kit.

Well, that’s all I have to share with you right now.  I hope everyone has a safe rest of the  week and get out there and make memories.

I’ll see ya next week!
