Hello and happy Tuesday, ladies! Can you believe it’s JULY?! Where did the first half of the year go? Sheesh! Well, with summer months comes scorching heat and the desire to stay indoors<\/strong>! Need something to pass the time while you soak up the AC? Why not do some challenges and earn awesome prizes! This week I am spotlighting a brand new<\/strong> challenge: the buffet challenge hosted by our fearless leader, Ginger<\/a>…of GingerScraps fame! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n \n For this challenge, you are making a layout that goes along with our monthly buffet–easy peasy! This month’s buffet is seriously AMAZING and the forum is abuzz on how great a job our designers did with it! The theme is Away We Go<\/a>!<\/p>\n \n \n The designers totally hit this one out of the ballpark!
