I could almost squeal with delight... in amongst ALL the creative work I am doing this month I took the plunge and applied to be on a new design team... for Cornelia Designs . Early this morning I got accepted. Sure made my day what with load shedding and covid scares happening at the same time.
So here is my first layout for the team using a wonderful new kit called Winter Winter Go Away.
Check it out in the new releases at The Digital Press.
Wow I can't believe I've been doing these monthly challenges from Gingerscraps for over a year now... that's 10 challenges every month for the past year... and each month is a new kit. So nice to get more and more layouts done. Here is what I created for this month's selection:
 |
| 1. Life Chronicled |
 |
| 2. A Year of Blessing |
 |
| 3. Jumpstart minikit |
The rest are all combined with other challenges as well:
Combined these two layout with The Digital Scrapbooking Studio (DSS) Layout-A-Day Winter Cabin challenge that is running in January (will share my other layouts later this month)
 |
| 4. Colour |
I won this kit (Like A Blank Canvas) from Just Because Studio in a lucky draw. Also entered this in the snowman challenge at The Studio for day 3 of the LAD
 |
| 5. Template |
6. Surprise Challenge - DDD Hello challenge
7. Storytelling - DDD Font challenge
8. Font - DDD Scraplift challenge
The last two I made for the Jan Tribe challenges at Just Because Studio (JBS)
9. Back It Up - product challenge
10. WordArt - Journalling challange
There were some new challenges this month that are a nice change so I can definitely see myself doing these each month.
This month is going to be HECTIC with scrapping... I found out about another set of challenges from one of my current favourite designers, Just Because Studio.... so just had to jump in with both feet.
First up JBS is having a quarterly challenge with using the kits on the $2 Tues sales. Every time you use one of the kits and share the layout you go into a draw and can be featured in the newsletter. I did one layout so far which I will share with The Studio Layout-A-Day challenges next week.
Secondly is the monthly challenges. Like last year these are run in the facebook group but this time there are four challenges each month. If you do all four you can get a free kit. Once you've done 24 challenges you get another free kit. I really like this idea so can see me doing these challenges every month.
Here is what I managed to create for the January challenges:
 |
| Product |
 |
| Design |
 |
| Journal |
 |
| Rotated Template |
These were really fun to do. At present there are only two other people who have shared layouts this month along with myself... sure hope that there will be a lot more participation. The designers always put so much effort into creating kits and challenges that I feel it is only right to give them some support in return. Plus I get more layouts done... hehehe.
It's been another week of fun challenges at The Lilypad MOC9 forum... I've had to think long and hard about some of these challenges and they took me a little longer than just a day to do. But I have managed to get them all done this week still and stay on track.
 |
| 8. One Colour |
 |
| 9. Bokeh |
 |
| 10. Title without alpha |
 |
| 11. True Story |

Phew so good to see them all here completed. Let's see how next week pans out.
Rachel launched her newest kit today called Note To Self - January. It's a continuation of the monthly themed kits but with a few added bits in it. Great start to a new year with lots of introspection too.
Check out the kit at The Digital Press.
As part of her fan page, Ginger from Dandelion Dust Design is running a new monthly set of challenges.... 13 in fact. If you do 3 challenges you get the monthly challenge freebie, if you do 5 you get an entry into the quarterly draw for a spending voucher... sounds like an incentive to scrap even more! So I took the plunge and did some of the challenges.
Why not join in the fun on facebook too and join the Dandelion Dust Design fan group.

Nini asked me to stay on another month as a guest of her creative team.... yippee. So I get to play with lots more lovely scrapping goodies all month. First up is today's offering for Publisher's Pick... called Memorable Moments: January
This is a great kit for capturing all those beginning of the year moments as well as setting goals and such. However I just used it for a normal everyday moment that happened in January!
