Challenge Spotlight – Buffet Challenge
Aug
20
2013
Howdy, ladies! How is your week going? This is my last week of freedom before school starts back up–eek–so I’m trying to get a bunch of scrapping in before I have to start hitting the books again! This week I am spotlighting a challenge I just completed this weekend, the buffet challenge hosted by Rachel of Harmonystar Designs! August’s buffet was designer’s choice with an awesome palette; there is seriously a ton included in the buffet, but here is just a little peek at some of the pieces:
So pretty, right? I have to say, when I first saw the palette, I was SO excited and the kits our designers came up with are just gorgeous! The buffet challenge has quickly become one of my favorites and the forum ladies have knocked it out of the park this month! Take a look for inspiration:

LOVE these pages! Make sure you take a moment to leave these ladies some love in the gallery because these layouts are fabulous. I picked pages that use different designers’ buffet pieces so you can really see the variety here. If your style is vintage, modern, bright, subtle–there’s something in this month’s buffet for you! Make sure you swing by the store and check out all the buffet goodies. 🙂
There’s just over a week left in the month, so now is crunch time to get your challenges completed and tallied up for a sweet reward come next month! If you haven’t started your count in the August 2013 Tracking Thread, there’s still time! I plan on getting at least 2 or 3 more challenges done so I can get some free buffet pieces next month–nothing beats free 😉
Okie dokes, that’s it for this week, everyone! Y’all have a super great week and I’ll see you back here next Tuesday! ^_^

August Feature Designer round two!
Aug
19
2013
Happy afternoon fellow Gingerscrappers!
I’m back for round two of our Feature Designer spot this month with Theresa of Simple Girl Scraps. If you missed our first post, you can find it here.
We’re getting a bit more personal today, and I get to share a few of my favorite Simple Girl Scraps products with you! As always, let’s jump right in, shall we?
I asked Theresa to share a past photo of herself and pretty sure this is the best backdrop ever
What is the most used App on your phone?
Hehe, what Apps? I have an old school LG Rumor! I had an iPhone when I lived in Tokyo, but just got my sister’s hand-me-down phone when I moved back to my hometown. I don’t use my phone much anyway, since I’m mostly attached to my laptop.
Do you craft outside of the digital world?
I don’t do as much as I used to, but I like to knit, sew and quilt! I also work on my paper scrapbooking albums when I get the chance!
And here is a page from one of her paper albums:
I WISH I could create non-digital layouts this awesome!
Hobbies in addition to crafting?
In addition to crafting, I enjoy going to the gym and recently competed in my first power-lifting competition! It was the hardest 3 months of solid training I’ve done before, but also very rewarding!
Lastly,
What is your favorite thing about GingerScraps.net?
I’ve always loved the community and the enthusiasm our members have with the challenges! It makes GingerScraps a fun place to be!
Challenges are such a big part of why I love GingerScraps too! There are so many to choose from, or if I’m feeling ambitious, complete them all! Speaking of challenges, join in one of our newest, the Designer Spotlight Challenge. It’s an easy challenge, just create a layout using 90% of product from the feature designer of the current month. So for August, you must use 90% of Simple Girl Scraps products, it’s a fabulous way to find hidden gems. Hidden gems that I of course (in a bias nature) am going to share with you!
A few of my FAVORITE Simple Girl Scraps products (all in her GingerScraps store):
Check out all her products, I’m certain you’ll find something you love! And don’t forget, as feature designer this month, Theresa has provided an awesome coupon to her store (one time use per customer).
Follow Theresa on Facebook, Simple Girl Scraps Blog and more for updates, freebies and more fun!

Thank you Theresa for sharing a bit about yourself, both as a designer and a totally rad power-lifting, paper-scrapping gal!

It’s officially Back to School time at Gingerscraps. At least to the designers! There are several back to school themed kits available this week! A collab between Blue Heart Scraps and Luv Ewe Designs, two from Pretty in Green, and one from Trixie Scraps. There’s more than just those, though! There’s something for everyone this week!
Now I get to share the August 2013 {Designer’s Choice} buffet layouts, and the monthly mix, Family Reunion, that were chosen this week!
Created by shmooangel. The cluster work is gorgeous. Such a wonderful layout!
Created by melissavt. I love the pictures. The banner says it all.
Created by dillydoodles. I just love the use of the old photo. The kit choice just works beautifully with it!
Before I start with the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released! If you do not know about our Welcome Wagon area, you should go check it out right away! Once you register in the forum, you will have access to the Welcome Wagon area. The designers create wonderful goodies and give them to you for FREE! The Welcome Wagon has been up and running, for over a year, so our designers are changing their goodies! New goodies, Free goodies!
Joylynn of Blue Heart Scraps has created a beautiful kit for all members! All you have to do to get it is register in the forum and check out the Welcome Wagon sub-forum! It coordinates PERFECTLY with the Daily Download, also created by Blue Heart Scraps.
Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag! This month’s was created by Aprilisa Designs.
