Happy ?Saturday. Hope you are all enjoying this Easter weekend. Today I’m here to shine the spotlight on two more Challenges.

First up is the Gingerscraps Created with Rewards Challenge hosted by our own sweet Ginger. The only requirement for this challenge is to use the Free With Purchase kit or the Challenge Reward kit form the previous month.

I have grabbed a few member layouts from the gallery as samples. Let’s see what I found.

Now, let’s look at the Font Challenge hosted this month by Craft-tastrophic. Each month the host designer picks out a free font for you to you in a layout however you wish. This month, the font is called Columbia. I love fonts and this on is super cute.

Le’s see what I found in the gallery.

I love the different ways they have chose to use this font.

Remember, any 10 complete challenges will get you this beautiful kit:

Hope you are enjoying these spotlight posts. I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

Before we get into today’s challenge, I have to make a confession. I didn’t do a layout for either of these. My EHD was not playing nice tonight. Actually, I think my computer is just tired of me working from home (haha). But bigger reason is that when I looked in the forum to pick some samples, I knew I wanted to showcase only those. These are amazing.

First is the Facebook Header Challenge hosted by CathyK. This is usually one of my favorites to do. If you are a template junkie (like me), there are templates out there to help. This month’s theme for the header is “HOPE”.

Let’s see a few of my favorites from the gallery.

Aren’t these inspiring?

Second, we’re looking at the Let’s Get Acquainted Challenge with Snickerdoodle Designs. Here is this month’s question:

It’s officially Spring.What is it about the season that calls to you most? Is it talking a walk in the warm sunshine, feeling a cool breeze on your face, or perhaps planting a garden or tending to the flowers in your yard? There are so many things that we can do in the Spring that we can’t do in other months. What is your FAVORITE thing about Spring?

Since most of us are “sheltering in place” or on “lockdown,” feel free to show us what you are doing.

Let’s see what I found in the gallery. This first one spoke to my soul. Nani and I share a love of scrapbooking and baseball. I’ve been blessed to actually spend some time with her (at a baseball game no less).

Again – these were all so stunning, I decided it was better to share them.

Remember, any 10 challenges gets you this fabulous collab:

Enjoy your week. I’ll be back on Saturday with two more great challenges.

Hey there scrappers. Did you know that GingerScraps has 28 challenges you can complete each month? Yep – 28.  I know. I was blown away when I actually counted them. Did you know that if you complete any 10 of these, you get a free FULL SIZED KIT designed especially for this purpose (see the bottom of this post)? That’s just crazy, right?

In order to get your rewards, you must keep track of your layouts in the Cookie Jar tracking thread in forum. You just copy and paste the information MissDamsel has provided into a new post. During the month, every time you create a layout for a challenge, come back to your message and edit it with the link to your layout in the gallery.

Happy New Year!! This is one holiday and season that I know we ALL celebrate. A time for all things new…. new calendar year, new beginnings, and here at GingerScraps – NEW CHALLENGES. Yes… as if there weren’t enough opportunities for you to earn that fabulous reward collab, we have added more.

First up – we have a new Facebook Header Challenge. Do you love to change your Facebook timeline photo? Now you can scrap a new one each month and use it to add to your challenge total. The fabulous Misti of Miss Mis Designs is hosting the January Challenge.

This month, Misti challenges you to making a new header with the following rules:

1. Must include a word you are using to drive you through 2018 – or – your 2018 goal/resolution.
2. One picture that represents that word or goal

Next we have the new GingerScraps: Created with Rewards Challenge. This one will be hosted each month by our very own Ginger.

Each month you can create a LO using the rewards from the previous month! I’m so excited to see you beautiful layouts using our amazing shop collabs!

RULES:

• Create a layout using the prior month Free With Purchase shop collab OR Challenge Reward Collab.
• If you did not earn the collabs from the previous they are also available for purchase.

Since this is the January 2018 Created With Rewards challenge you will need to use one of the following collabs:

December 2017 Challenge Reward {Cabin Fever}

OR

December 2017 Free With Purchase {Winter Fun}

How much fun are these?

Remember, in order to get the Challenge collab:
