Summer

The collection Hot time by Carol W Designs is awesome. I couldn't resist to make another page.
For this page I used a photo from Pixabay and a template by Neia Scraps (Special moments Vol. 14).




Prairie Fields

A while ago Ginger from Dandelion Dust Designs started a totally new brand digital scrapbooking designs. It is called Mulberry Park Designs. She has already three beautiful collections. Every collection contains a full kit and an add-on pack. Unfortunately it is only for sale in the United States. But as her CT I'm privileged to work with it. Lucky me!

The latest collection is called Prairie Fields. Here is my layout.

Templates

Templates are the easiest way to start a layout. Whenever I lack inspiration I start with a template. Template pack Scrap it easy 9 by Tinci Designs is so easy to use and the result is always great. I used two templates from this pack. One I filled with Cupid Strikes by Kristmess Designs and the other one with Travelogue Washington bundle by Connie Prince.

Two pages, so very different but I love them both.

Glamping

In the past my husband and used to camp. We had a Karsten tent without a frame. This tent had to be inflated with a compressor. We had lovely years with this tent. One day one of the tubes broke. It costed a fortune to get it repared and because we were getting older we decided to get rid of the tent. From that day on we rented houses or appartments. Last year when Covid-19 was active we decided to rent a large tent and we were gone glamping! 

I just loved it, it was the first time but sure not the last. Only better weather would be nice!

This layout was also created with Family mountain getaway by Scraps 'n Pieces.

Grand Tetons

From my Designer Partner; Scraps 'n Pieces, I downloaded two kits and a template pack. The rules say that you have to work with 50% of the templates. There are four templates, so I have to make two pages.

But these kits are awesome, Made already four pages. Today I share nr. 3. The kit is called Family mountain getaway

The photos are taken in the mountain range The Grand Tetons, just south of Yellowstone Park in the state of Utah. It was so very beautiful! Suddenly we saw this fox, drinking water in Snake River.

Hallstatt

Here is my second page with A Mother's Love by Scraps 'n Pieces. This collection is so versatile. In the first layout I used a garden photo and in this page I chose travel photos. I'm actually sure you can use it with any photo.

Hallstatt is a little town in Austria. They say it is the most photographed town in Austria. You can reach it by car but because it is build against a mountain there is hardly any space to park. The best way to get there is by boat and that is what we did. It is really beautiful.

Designer Partner

As a newby CT member at Gingerscraps I have to get used to all the new rules and requirements. Sometimes I feel a bit uncertain about what I can, must and may, LOL. But I'm sure I'll get along during time.

One of the new things is a designer partner. Every month you will get an other designer to work for. For me this month it is Scraps 'n Pieces

I've downloaded two kits and a template pack. Here is my first page. Created with A mother's love and template 3 of Template pack 72

Just love the colors in this kit and there is also an awesome alpha!

May Flowers

May Flowers is a Gingerbread Ladies Collab and is the challenge award for May. Complete 10 challenges and the kit is yours.

Designers Just so Scrappy, Luv Ewe Designs and Neia Scraps made this kist, packed with beautiful flowers, papers and more.

Here is my page!


























Recipe challenge may

 Challenges are fun! Every new month I first check out the challenges. The first two challenges I always make are the Signature challenge and the template challenge. For this month I've finished them already. Today I did the recipe challenge, also a favorite.

We had to use a messy paper and a Journal card. In the kit I chose both were not available. So I had to make them myself. Pretty good as I may say so.

The kit I used was a Gingerbread ladies collab, In the Springtime.

The goose was really agressive, I was glad he (or she) was behind a fence!

Sew pretty

 Sew pretty is a wonderful collection by Memory Mosaic. She is a guest designer at Gingerscraps. Of course it is a collection all about sewing with lots of fabric backgrounds and themed elements. But there is so much more in this collection. You can use it for all kinds of layouts.

I made this layout with photos of our wedding day. The dress is made by me!

Gingerscraps Creative team

 I didn't post for a while, I think I was a bit "blog-tired" LOL. But I have exciting news, so I decided to take up blogging again.

This year I competed for the 5th time in the Scrapping Survivor at Gingerscraps. A journey of several weeks with 5 assignments to show off your scrapping creativity. I am a competative girl and I sure want to win, but I know the competition is spectacular. 

Just like in 2020 I became a honourable mention, a shared 4th place. I can tell you I was a bit disappointed. But I have to admitt, the other girls are amazing.

The first and second place can get a spot on the Gingerscraps site creative team (optional), I would love to get that opportunity, but being forth place...... no chance.

A few days ago I received a Private Message of Ginger, they offered me and all the other hounarable mentions a spot on the Creative team. I was over the moon! Of course I said yes and now I'm figuring out how it all works. It is a bit overwhelming but just a matter of doing I suppose.

This is my first page as a CT. I worked with the May monthly mix, Life in full bloom. A collab from Jumpstart Designs, Down this road Designs, Lindsay Jane, Sweet Pea Designs and Miss Fish templates.
