Spellbound $5 Grab Bag

If you ask me, October is about football, cooler weather, delicious chai lattes from Starbucks and snuggling under the covers on cool, autumn nights.  If you ask my boys what October’s about?  It’s Halloween, Halloween, and Halloween! 🙂  It was that inspiration that brings you this week’s $5 Grab Bag – Spellbound

Don’t Bug Me! (freebie)

Aren’t you just loving the new bundles from Blue Heart Scraps? I know I can’t get enough! I have two boys who are all about bugs, and mud, and messes- perfect subjects for a big bundle like Don’t Bug Me! The bright colors are so fun to play with too, and they make me happy just looking at the preview.

What a bargain at only $5! And to sweeten the pot, here’s a freebie template to help you find inspiration after you download this big bundle. Enjoy, and don’t forget to post your creations in the Blue Heart Scraps gallery at Gingerscraps- GSO recipients get great coupons :).

It’s Challenge Time!

Don’t you just love the beginning of the month when all the new challenges are posted at Gingerscraps? I look forward to seeing what the designers come up with every month, and my favorite challenges are the ones with freebies (of course)! We are super lucky this month to have Joylynn hosting the Word Art Challenge, because she made us this:

They are all so cute! I had the most difficult time choosing, but finally made a decision based on my pic, and this is what I came up with:

celebratefall

And because if you’re like me, you can’t resist those happy fall colors, here’s what I used (images linked):

 

Go on, now! Hop on over to Gingerscraps and check out the challenges! What else are you going to do with your down time this weekend?

October Buffet – Secret Garden

Happy October!  Fall has arrived and I couldn’t be happier!  Cooler weather, nice warm Starbucks drinks, and all those rich, deep fall colors.  I am in love!  The first round of earthy fall colors comes with this month’s GingerScraps Buffet.  And, while the colors may be fall-ish in nature – strangely enough, I didn’t exactly go fall-ish with my portions.  As a matter of fact, this set feels like quite a step out of my comfort zone – but I’m LOVING it!  Let me introduce you to my portion of the October Buffet,

Secret Garden Kit

Fresh Baked for September 25th

Happy Friday!  It’s Fresh Baked time at GingerScraps, and I’m opening up two of my grab bags from last week’s birthday celebration.  Before I get to those, though…do you LOVE to read?  Then, be sure to join me at the GingerScraps Hey Good Bookin’ Book Club Forum each month.  There’s a poll up right now to pick October’s read (and the choices are pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself!)

You can find the poll for October’s book here:
October Book Club Poll
But, don’t wait!  The poll is only open for another day or so, so that we can pick a book and prepare to start reading!

Rachel of Seatrout Scraps and I have decided to extend our incredible Pizzeria Mamma Mia $5 Grab Bag deal for one more week!  So, if you haven’t grabbed it yet, now is the time!
