Before we start, I want to extend well thoughts and wishes of peace for those directly affected by the bombing at the Boston marathon yesterday. <3<\/em><\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Hello and happy Tuesday to everyone; hope your week is starting out well as we begin the middle of April. \ud83d\ude42 Today I am going to be spotlighting a challenge with a freebie:\u00a0the mini kit challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs<\/strong><\/a>! This is always a fun challenge because you get a freebie AND points towards\u00a0an awesome reward<\/strong><\/a> come next month: win\/win! Let’s see the cute mini Ivonne has for us this month:<\/p>\n \n \n Love the colors here, pretty and spring-y, but still earthy and warm. Thanks, Ivonne! The mini kit challenge always draws lots of participation and this month is no exception. Need some inspiration for your own creation? Take a look at these lovely layouts:<\/p>\n \n \n By lulutoo<\/p>\n \n \n By Lyndsfairne<\/p>\n \n \n By bekfek<\/p>\n \n WOW, these are all awesome. Not only are they pretty layouts, but they’re completely different styles and all had a unique take on the mini. I love how this small mini has been stretched and almost looks to be a full kit on these pages–very cool, ladies! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n \n This is the middle of April, so we’re halfway through our challenges…already! Make sure you’re keeping track of all your completed challenges this month in the\u00a0April Challenge Points Tracking thread<\/strong><\/a> so we can tally them up and get you\u00a0a lovely little reward<\/strong><\/a> next month for playing along. If you have any questions, be sure to stop by\u00a0the Cookie Jar<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and ask away–we’ll get back to you asap!<\/p>\n \n That’s it for this week, all. Hope the rest of your week is fabulous and peaceful…now get to scrapping! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n \n Before we start, I want to extend well thoughts and wishes of peace for those directly affected by the bombing at the Boston marathon yesterday. <3 ~ Hello and happy Tuesday to everyone; hope your week is starting out well as we begin the middle of April. \ud83d\ude42 Today I am going to be spotlighting […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66,84],"tags":[69,243,141,222],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-23 18:57:17","action":"change-status","newStatus":"private","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8580"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8580"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8583,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8580\/revisions\/8583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i569.photobucket.com\/albums\/ss133\/ivonne4kids\/Craft_AprilLove_prev_zps81758e7d.jpg\")
