I applied last year and got accepted to be a guest designer for Dandelion Dust Designs. I will be creating layouts for Ginger for the next two months.... super excited as I really enjoyed the monthly challenges that Ginger ran last year, so applying was a no brainer for me. Now I get to play with all the new kits too. Looking forward to sharing my layouts with you for May and June.
You can get Dandelion Dust Design kits at Gingerscraps, Pickleberry Pop or follow along on facebook
After not being able to do all the Dandelion Dust Design MojoMods last month I planned my layouts early and made sure that I could get them all done this time around.
The challenges this month are varied once again, each with their own little twist. That is what makes them fun. Here's the ones I made for these challenges just on their own: |
| Speed Scrap with Deb |
 |
| Escape Room |
 |
| One, Two, Three |
 |
| Year In Review |
And these ones I've shared already as CT layouts:
Places To Go - Dagi WinterSoltice layout
Snow No More - Dagi SoLo9 layout
Tag You're It - Dagi Temp-ting Duo 5 layout
Here are a few more of the new templates that are available today from Dagi as part of the Temp-ting Duos release
Temp-ting Duos 4 - made for The Digital Press Finding Joy challenge using GDD Elfin Christmas kit
Temp-ting Duos 5 - made this for Dandelion Dust Designs MojoMod Tag You're It challenge
Temp-ting Duos 6 - made for the Christmas Travel challenge at The Digital Press.
You can check these great templates out in the Fresh Baked section at Gingerscraps.
Dagilicious has a lovely single layout template available today at Gingerscraps called So Lo 9. As we don't get snow very often in Johannesburg I went waaayyyyy back into the photo albums to find pics of me as a youngster making a snowman... one of the vary rare times it snowed.
I also made this layout for one of the Dandelion Dust Design Mojo Mods for this month.
You can check this template out in the Fresh Baked section at Gingerscraps
It's time for the first $2 Tuesday of the month and I have a few layouts to share today. First up are these ones from Dagilicious
I've used Taste of Winter template for the Rewards challenge
You can check both these templates out in the sale today only at Gingerscraps
The Dandelion Dust Design Mojo Mods are some of my favourite challenges to do lately. But yikes I am cutting this one soooooo close to the end of the month deadline. I also didn't get all six layouts done as I had hoped but am happy with those that I did finish.
 |
| Cut It Out |
 |
| Think Big |
and my Perfect Day layout for The Bottom Half challenge.
Hopefully December will be a bit easier and I'll get more done earlier in the month.
As I said last month, this month I planned on tackling at least 5 challenges out of the 10 needed to get the free kit at Gingerscraps. That's really freed me up to pick and choose and in the end I did more than 5 as there were just so many nice challenges to choose from.
I already posted all of these as they were all made for one or other CT release as well:
Buffet - Sharing layout using TSK Family kit
Miss Fish Memory Mix Up - Coffee layout using TSK Coffee and a Book $2 Tues
Rewards - Nature Study layout from MissFish Picture This 5 template
Life Chronicled - Gather layout with MissFish KISS Photo Strips template
Template - Game Night layout from The Scrappy Kat
Inspiration - Autumn Days layout with kit from The Scrappy Kat
Designer - Festive layout with MissFish Holiday Travelors Notebook template
and then finally there is this one for the White Space challenge (and also for one of the DDD Mojo Mods for this month):
It's been such a busy scrapping month that I am scrambling to get my challenge layouts finished before tomorrow... wish me luck!
I had lots of fun doing the challenges of the last few months with the new format that I couldn't not do them again this month though once again I've left them to the last week of the month to finish, so it's been a mad rush to the end.
These layouts were created specifically for these challenges:
 |
| Four Squared |
 |
| Half and Half |
 |
| Oh No, No Photos |
I am loving the new format for the Mojo Mods... the six challenges this month sure are great and each one has a lovely added twist/difficulty to them that stretches my creativity ability. Here's what I managed to do:
 |
| Tight Spot |
 |
| Favourite Teacher |
 |
| Climb A Hill |
 |
| So Circular |
 |
| Merge Me |
 |
| Journaling Jazz |
and as an added bonus this month there was also the speed scrap:
In fact there were TWO speedscraps... here is my layout for the second one:
Note: My So Circular layout has been nominated for Baker's Best at Gingerscraps
I got excited to see the new Mojo Mod challenges when they were posted at the beginning of the month. Then I got so busy scrapping CT layouts that they got pushed a bit to the back burner. Now it's a mad scramble to get them all done... but done they are:
 |
| Black & White |
 |
| Reflecting Back |
 |
| Dream Big |
 |
| Nature Walk |
 |
| Splish Splash |
 |
| Summer's End |
I am super chuffed with these... I've done some very different layouts and also managed to combine lots of kits for each one. Really happy to get them all done before the deadline too.
Ginger changed things up a bit for this month's Dandelion Dust Design Mojo Mods... and for the months going forward. For every challenge you earn a point and at the end of the quarter you're in the draw for some free shopping.
These are some lovely challenges...some very simple and others with a few more requirements than just simply making a layout. I enjoyed doing them all over the weekend and here's the results:
 |
| Dance on the Sand |
 |
| Opposite Only |
 |
| Proud |
 |
| Sunset |
 |
| Freedom |
 |
| Sparkle |
 |
| Ingredient - tag |
 |
| Font |
 |
| Outside My Window |
 |
| Slow Scrap |
