Challenge Spotlight – Word Art Challenge

Good morning, y’all! How’s your week starting off? Mine is SO BUSY. I’ve got a whole mess of school stuff due this week–it’s scarier than Halloween! I may be busy, but I’m never too busy to blog about our fabulous monthly challenges here at GingerScraps! 🙂 This week I am spotlighting another challenge with a freebie: the word art challenge hosted by Laetitia of Kawouette Designs! Let’s take a look at the wonderful WA she’s got for us this month…

LOVE. IT. What else can I say? I adore fonts, especially handwritten ones, and this WA pack is just loaded with pretty ones! I like the faded/grungy effects, too. So many word arts, so generous; thank you, Laetitia! 🙂

Of course, with a WA pack like this, the forum ladies have been churning out some awesome layouts. Here are a few for inspiration!

If you’ll notice, I cleverly picked picked three layouts with different WA quotes to  show off the range of WAs Laetitia has for us to create with this month. Aren’t I just so smart? 😉 You all did excellent jobs of using the word arts; they all add some extra meaning to your already-lovely pages.  🙂

So, it’s the middle of the month and if you haven’t started your tally in the October Challenge Points Tracking thread…do it! 🙂  You’ve got a couple more weeks to get some challenges done, uploaded and tallied so you can snag a fabulous reward! If you have any questions, direct them to the Cookie Jar.

That’s it for me for this week: now back to my regularly schedule papers and quizzes and exams and blah… Have a wonderful week! 😉

Fresh Baked for October 12, 2012

I can say for sure that it’s officially fall in the Midwest. Oh, you want to know how I know? The weather is the biggest clue. We go from forties for highs to seventies. In less than twenty-four hours. The lows are sometimes barely above freezing, but they’re calling for eighties. Oh fall, how I enjoy your insanity.

It’s supposedly good for the coloring of the leaves though. Or so I’ve heard. I just know that the next couple weeks are the perfect time to head out to a pumpkin patch. Maybe explore a corn maze. Last time we went to one, we all got lost. It took us almost an hour to find our way out. They claimed it would take fifteen minutes. I guess we aren’t good at directions, LOL!

This week, there are a lot of awesome things happening. We have a new designer. Well, it’s a two designers, one name type of deal. I’ll leave you in suspense until we’re ready for that announcement. The designers have some great stuff. There’s definitely something for everyone.

But, before we get into that, we’ve chosen some gorgeous layouts using our current buffet, Fall Festival. The layouts are absolute amazing. Remember, if you want a chance of your layout being chosen for the newsletter, make sure you upload it to the gallery. If it’s not there, we won’t see it.


Created by Deanna. I can’t get enough over big picture layouts, and this one is just too stinking cute!


Created by MSPeeler. I love the use of white space. I can never get it right, but I love looking at layouts that do it so well!


Created by nowens. I love the clustering. I’m a sucker for great clusters!

Now, I told you there was a new design team joining the designer squad, right? Maybe you’ve heard of these two lovely ladies: Carolyn and Jamie of Adorable Pixels. That’s right! They’re joining the team, and we’re so excited to have them.

They sound like great ladies, and I can’t wait to get them both better.

They have some great kits coming to the store. I can’t wait to play with some of them.

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!
