Gingerscraps - Feb20 Challenges

In January I was so busy with the MOC8 challenge that I never got to do any of those at Gingerscraps. This month I decided to get all 10 challenges done at Gingerscraps as I really want to receive the reward kit... it looks soooooooooooo good.

With being a guest CT for BHS this month I thankfully managed to do some of the challenges with the kits that were released so have already shared those layouts

1. Buffet - All I ever wanted layout
2. Storytelling - Place to Be layout
3. Back It Up -  Believe layout

Now on to the rest of the challenges using up some of my stash...

4. Recipe

5. Signature

6. Font - using Lovely Valentine

7. Mini Kit from Connie Prince

8.Scraplift

9. Mini kit by Jumpstart Designs

10. Template

Phew made it. I really am enjoying this new adventure in scrapping. I find that I spend almost as much time looking for digi stash and dithering about placements as I did with paper scrapping.... just no mess to tidy up afterwards... hehehe.

BHS - True Love Kit

It's time for another release today of a new kit from Blue Heart Scraps... just in time for Valentine's Day.

I used this lovely kit with one of the older templates also from BHS called What's Happening.

Check out the store at Gingerscraps for this great bundle.

BHS - Believe in You kit

Another new release this week from Blue Heart Scraps is the beautiful kit called "Believe in You" at The Studio. The colours are not what I would normally pick to scrap but it is soooooooo pretty that I had to make a page.

Love the grungy edges and the masks which I used as paint splashs. The wordstrips are really great and cover all sorts of good motivation.

This kit is definitely worth getting.

BHS - I Think I Love You kit

Last weekend saw the release of a very colourful kit for the Gingerscraps Buffet called "I think I love you". Well I never got to use it as I was super busy trying to finish MOC and working and on Thursday was the first time that I got a moment to scrap again. And then to crown it all, we ended up with load shedding and more power outages last night (due to a lightning storm that struck a powerline). Lots of fun. Today it is bucketing down constantly but thankfully the power is back on and I can get around to catching up a bit on my DT stuff.

I used the papers, elements and also the freebie cluster on my layout... kept it fairly simple. I might go back and dolly it up some more (or add more photos) but for now I'm calling it done.

BHS - This is Us Kit

It's been a busy scrapping weekend... finishing of my MOC8 layouts as well as a few DT commitments... like this one for Blue Heart Scraps using the new This Is Us kit.

This kit is available at a "new to me" site called Digital Scrapbooking Studio. The kit is on special all week... well worth is as it is jam packed.

Blue Heart Scraps - Sassy kit

It's been a crazy busy work week and I've not had toooooooooo much time to do any scrapping. Then this new kit arrived and I just had to make a layout quickly.

It's soooooo nice to be able to get a layout done in a jiffy. The kit has some wonderful bits and pieces in it. You can pick it up for just $5 this weekend at Gingerscraps.

Blue Heart Scraps - Then & Now

The new kit is out for Blue Heart Scraps... another jam packed one in the most gorgeous of colours. The theme is just perfect for those memories over the years... like this school one I just did of Aaron.

The photos are Grade 1, Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 12... yes there is definitely a big change in age and height, but he is still the same little guy I always love.

Aaron passed his matric exams, but not quite as well as he needed to to go study for the BSc degree as planned. So at the moment we are investigating a few other options, one of which is flight school. His dream since he was 10 has been to fly... so this might just be the push we need to get him there sooner rather than later.

Remember to head over to the Gingerscraps store and snag this grab bag quickly while it is available.

Blue Heart Scraps - Be Positve

The new kit is released at Gingerscraps called Be Positive.

I think this is a lovely sentiment to be going into 2020 with, especially after the semi-upheaval we got on Tuesday with Aaron's matric results. He passed which is great news, just not really well enough for the plans we had in place for varsity. So now we're trying to figure out a way forward... be positive sounds like a good idea.

This is such a pretty kit and very versatile for lots of layouts. Here's what I created:

You can pick up this bundle deal this week, or from next week you can get the individual pieces.

I also played with the templates that were released last Friday called Instant Replay 5.

Being such a great and colourful kit, I am sure I will use this one quite a bit in the future.

Blue Heart Scraps - Midnight Kisses

This kit was released just before New Year's but I only got to play with it today.

You can find the bundle in the Gingerscraps Shop.

I also played with the templates that have been released called Instant Replay 5.

I am learning how to use these templates more every time I play with them. My new tablet is really making scrapping easy.... so glad I got it.

Blue Heart Scraps - CT layouts

This is my first sharing of layouts as a guest CT member for Blue Heart Scraps. I've been using kits and freebies from JoyLynn for a few months now and really enjoy her style of creating. When I joined the team over the weekend I even went to look for some templates designed by her to create my layouts with... makes the process a little easier (like using a sketch!). I couldn't stop at just making one layout, so did two:

The new kit is out as a part of the January buffet in the Gingerscraps store.

I used the ChevronLove and TooHexy templates for my two layouts.

Happy news for me

I found out at the end of October but haven't been able to share until now... my digi scrapping career is taking off and I've been accepted as a guest designer for January and February at Blue Hearts Scrapping.

You can follow along on the blog, or join the facebook page or fan group.

Soooooooooo excited to stretch my creative wings in a new direction and create layouts whilst still learning. So look for more fun things to come in the next two months.
