Good Morning Everybody!!
My name is Chris and I’m known around the forum as altimasport. I am so excited to be bringing you the sneak peeks for this week so let’s get started…
This is my favorite time of the year. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I hold it very near and dear to my heart. NeverlandScraps has done an outstanding job and I can’t wait to see the entire kit!
Here is a beautiful kit from Neverland Scraps

I know around my house the kids are getting excited about Halloween. We go all out with decorations, pumpkin carving, candy apple making, and of course dressing up. This will be a great kit to show off all your Halloween pictures. I am really loving that little spider and the witches feet are just too cute!

There are also a few more goodies for Thanksgiving and something to finish scrapping the last of your summer photos.
Just look at that patterned paper with the turkeys and owls! Aren’t they super cute?

Hey, y’all! Hope October is off to a great start for everyone. Let’s jump right into today’s blog! Everyone loves a freebie, right? Well, today I’m spotlighting October’s mini kit challenge hosted by Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs! This is a FREEBIE challenge, so let all your scrappin’ friends know they can come join us on the challenge fun and snag an awesome mini in the process! The mini Jennifer’s got for us this month is seriously adorable; take a look!
These colors are FABULOUS! The brown, beige and red all go so well together and very fell autumn…y. (Hehe.) I’ve simply got to scrap a cute picture of my niece with this mini! Here’s some inspiration for the forum:

Really beautiful pages, ladies. You all showed off the fun patterned papers so well! Love the flower clusters on all three layouts, as well. This is simply a wonderful little mini; thank you for your generosity, Jennifer! Remember, if you have any questions on this or any other challenge, you can drop it off at the Cookie Jar and we’ll get back to you. 🙂
Now, yes the mini is cuteness defined, but that little freebie isn’t all we’ve got for you! If you complete the mini challenge, post your creation (layout, hybrid–whatever you can dream up!) in the gallery and keep track, you can earn a really great reward depending on how many challenges you complete: one buffet item of your choosing, two buffet items of your choosing or the grand prize (cue the drum roll)…a $5 store gift certificate you can spend on any kit you want! PRETTY sweet deal, if you ask me! Just start your tally in the October Challenge Points Tracking thread and at the end of the month, we’ll tally your challenges up and send you a prize: woot! ^_^ If you haven’t joined us for our monthly challenges before…well, there’s no time like the present! 🙂
That’s it for this week, all. Make sure you’re getting your challenges done and posted in the gallery so we can ooh and ahh and leave your some love! Have a fantastic week; see y’all next Tuesday! 😀

Weekly Wrap-up: What’s your favorite challenge?

Good afternoon my friends!
I know generally I sit down and spend the morning with you, but this morning the family and I had quite a bit of running around to do. We had a great morning and now I’m here to babble to you about this and that.
I know, you’re excited.
You should always have an air of excitement around you- it keeps things interesting.
The first week of October, come and gone. Can you believe that Christmas…Christmas… is only 79 days away. SEVENTY-NINE DAYS! Crazy. I have so many projects to start, finish, print for the holidays that I’m already behind. I need something to organize all my crazy to do, and I couldn’t help but eye up the new Hybrid Plan it! Charts from Connie Prince (JenE Creations).
The more I sit here looking at it, I just know it’s going in my cart the minute I finish writing. I love that not only is there a schedule, but chore chart, work out chart AND A CREATIVE TEAM CHART! How fun is that?!
Well, now that you’ve seen the new buffet and our new challenges what do you think?
I am in super love with our October Buffet: Fall Festival. It is ridiculous, and by ridiculous I mean that in an absolutely good way.
I am really into the challenges this month too. There are some fun new twists- like the mix-it-up challenge hosted by Crystal of Inspired Designs. I’ve been wanting to do a strictly black and white page, and now I’ve got double the motivation to get started. I really like simple hybrid challenges (since I’m totally not a Hybrid chick- you ladies that do Hybrid regularly are incredible), something that is 1, 2, 3 and done, so I’m really excited about this month’s Hybrid challenge hosted by JenC Designs.
Don’t just limit your thinking to Halloween/candy tag! I’m envisioning gift tags (for Christmas!) and cute jar labels too!
Today is the LAST day of Ocean Wide Designs Grand Opening Sale!
You’ve got a few hours left to take advantage of Meg, I mean… Meg’s sale! 😉
My favorite product? Her Sea Charts templates. I just picked up this pack last night:
I have every intention of picking up a few more too! 😀
That’s all I’m going to leave you with today, I’ve got to get my tush up and to exercise class!
Have a happy scrappy Sunday evening!
