Oh, wow! Friday already? I’ve been so focused on the Olympics that I almost forgot what day it was.
The commitment this athletes have is amazing. Their focus and drive is inspiring.
I do wonder, though, if they are logging their memories like we do. The Go Team buffet is perfect for it.
Whether you’re into baseball or basketball, football or soccer, even wrestling and swimming, there is a mini in the buffet that would so be perfect.

This just reminds me of RenFest and doing the archery. It takes arm strength, focus, and determination. Love it!

Soccer, or football as it’s known everywhere but the US, is another sport where you need drive and focus. And really great legs and a very strong cardiovascular system.

Baseball is called America’s Sport, but it’s a worldwide one, I think. No two games are ever the same.

This Week’s Sneak Peeks
Aug

2012
Hello Digi Friends!!!
Happy August to you all! Wow! it’s the 9th already???!! Geez oh man! This summer is flying by!!
I don’t know about you, but my kids and I are in back to school mode! It’s like this every summer here. I go back to my school job as a school counselor in August, well before the teachers and kids do, so I find myself shopping for school/ office supplies in August, and my daughter got her Kindergarten list of supplies she needs, so she is shopping with me. We’re both very excited to be back to school shopping this month! I have been pondering ways to use my scrap supplies from Gingerscraps to embellish the back to school items we purchase. I love pinterest for ideas. So far, I am making cover sheets for the see through binders with GS papers, and am going to try to cover my scissor handles with them too. I am making a sign that says whether I am IN or OUT of my office to hang on my door, too. Yes, yes, yes. SOOOOO excited for back to school time! I will post the photos of my hybrids next week, so stay tuned!!!
As for this week, the designers have been busy cookin’ up some fabulous treats for us!
Roseytoes Designs is giving us something sandy and fun to keep summer going a bit longer….
Kit from Roseytoes Designs! Template is already in the store: August Templatetopia by North Meets South Studios (Connie Prince’s store)
Oh my! Look below! Hello kitty! hee hee!!! So cute!!!
Here is a yummy one coming from Z Pink Boudoir… I’m just lovin’ banners these days and this one is super cute!
Here is one coming from Keep In Touch Designs. I think this is gorgeous, nicely nautical! I am simply stoked over this! I just love how gentle it feels yet comes alive with pops of color.
Ok, Keep In Touch, I am mesmerized….time to continue on though!! There’s more to show you!…
Shazam! Check out this new template from Find Your Bliss! The kit was released last week. LOVE this template!!!!
Gingerscraps designers make it so easy for me to get my scrap on!!!!
Well, I think I can find lots of things in this week’s sneak peeks to use with my back to school hybrid stuff making! I can’t wait! I am sooo psyched for Friday! So join me, I’ll be sittin’ here, tapping my mouse, sippin my ice tea, thinkin’ of all I can do with these yumalicious goodies! Pull up a mouse and join me!!!! See you in the store on Friday!!!!! Until then, you will find me carting around a pile of binders, notebook paper, glue, crayons, folders, dividers, backpacks and lunch boxes at the local office supply store. 🙂
Challenge Spotlight – Mini Kit Challenge
Aug

2012
Hello and happy August! I am fresh off the plane from a lovely little vacation in Oak Creek, Wisconsin! It was relaxing, but busy and I’m pooped! Pausing for a serious note, I trust you have all heard of the Sikh temple shooting that happened in that same city just yesterday; my thoughts go out to everyone affected in that terrible, sad situation. <3
Now, let’s talk scrapping. How did it get to be August so quickly?! I can’t believe the year is winding to a close. But with a new month comes a new batch of our world-famous (at least that’s what I tell myself) monthly challenges! This week I am spotlighting a challenge with the **freebie**: the August 2012 Mini Kit Challenge hosted by Lily of Pixelily Designs! You’ll absolutely adore the gorgeous little mini she’s whipped up for us this month; check it out!
So flipping cute, Lily! I love the purple and green together! I’m sure we’ve ALL got a summer photo or two that needs scrapping; here’s your chance! The layouts are already coming in from our talented forum ladies; if you want a little inspiration for this mini, look no further! (Well…maybe a little further) 🙂

Outstanding job so far, gals! I didn’t realize how versatile this kit is until I saw how all the cool different effects these ladies were able to create for their layouts! Love it! Now…it’s your turn to show off your awesome scrappin’ skills! All you have to do is jump over to the August 2012 Mini Kit Challenge thread, pick up the mini and get to scrappin’!
Make sure you stop by the August Challenge Points Tracking thread and claim your spot so you can start tallying up all your points towards some amazing rewards! If you’re a newcomer (well, hi there!) and you’re wondering what fabulous prizes you can win for participating in the GingerScraps monthly challenges, check out the rewards system thread and get all the 411. Of course, if you have any questions about the rewards, this challenge or any of the other monthly challenges, you should most definitely direct them to the Cookie Jar where some smart little cookie will get you an answer just as soon as possible! 🙂 ALSO, if you want to see your layout highlighted here, make sure you participate and post your creations in the correct challenge thread; also good so we can all ooh and ahh over your fabulousness! 😉
That’s it for me today, ladies. Thanks for stopping by and I hope y’all have a rad week! 🙂
