SO this will be a quick blog because I have a HUGE paper and presentation due tomorrow and I’m only halfway through the paper, noneway through the presentation–ACK! Hope all our US friends had a lovely, peaceful Thanksgiving and survived Black Friday! 😀 This week I am spotlighting another challenge with a freebie: the November mini kit challenge hosted by Lily of Pixelily Designs! Lily has made a beautiful, neutral -toned mini for us this month that is perfect for fall pictures, candid snapshots–anything! I really like the colors with a pop of brightness…check it out!
Absolutely love this–thanks for sharing it with us this month, Lily! The mini is called “Self Portrait” but it’s being used for way more than self portrait pics in the forum! Lots of ladies have already got their submissions in so it’s hard to choose, but here are a few of my favorites for scrappy inspiration!

These are all amazing layouts–seriously! I like how Lisa used this kit for something other than a self portrait; so cute and the simply journaling is perfect here. I love April’s use of white space of bring focus on the title below. And Bren–this is just awesome. Your pics are adorable (you look so happy!) and your clustering is great. Beautiful creations, ladies–you’ve definitely inspired me to put this pretty mini to work! 🙂
FYI this is the LAST WEEK to get your November challenges complete and tallied! If you haven’t been tracking them in the November Challenge Points Tracking thread–you need to get on that! All challenges are due on November 30th to go towards a fabulous prize from the GS shop. Even one completed challenge gets you something, so definitely join in now even if you haven’t done any yet! If you have any questions, stop by the Cookie Jar and we’ll get back to you ASAP!
Alright, time for me to get back to my paper–UGH! Wish me luck, hehe! Hope y’all have a wonderful week and I will see you in December! 😀

Good Morning, Gingerscraps fans! In the States, yesterday was Thanksgiving, the day of remembering all that we are thankful for.
We are so lucky to be a part of this world, one that allows us to connect with someone so easily via the internet. I’m so thankful that I have friends that I have “met”, and I love each and every single one of them. I’m quite sure you have friends you feel the same way about.
The Monthly Mix for November is “Friendship” and the Attitude of Gratitude buffet really just meshes so well. I decided to choose two buffet layouts and a third being from the Monthly Mix.
A beautiful timeline created by dodgeladee. I love the use of just the blues and the sunflowers!
Created by jbdolfin. I love the cluster work. It’s just gorgeous!
Created by chigirl. I just love the way the little banner word arts are used, and the amazing clusters!
In the States, the day after Thanksgiving is full of lots of frantic shopping and great deals! Everyone is exhausted, and in dire need of some coffee and sweet treats. Gingerscraps knows all about that, so we’re having a nice little sale to help give you that boost you might need!
I cannot wait to see what’s going to be for sale. I don’t know. I really don’t! I know some kits I’m dying to have, and I hope to see them in there!
There are a lot of sales going on! Not just the Coffee Shop. Lots of designers are having sales for this weekend, as well. Make sure you check them out!
There’s more to be grateful about! There’s a new FWP grab bag. This month, it was created by Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs. It’s just beautiful!

It’s officially safe to start singing the Christmas carols, and blasting them through your speakers. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, let us know what you do! Maybe a designer will be able to fulfill your holiday wishes with a kit!
