New STS Goodies {August 2013} & a {Freebie}!

It's already August and summer is rapidly coming to an end. I'm sure you have taken a ton of pictures and you are ready to scrap. With school starting right around the corner there is still time to get in plenty of scrap time here on Stuff to Scrap so let's check out what's happening.

Yea for new challenges! Head over to the Current Challenges section to see what the new August challenges are all about and get the August Speed Scraps on your calendar.
This Month I am hosting the Found on Pinterest Challenge.  All you have to do is be inspired by one of the three pictures I posted, scrap it, and post your layout in the gallery and the challenge thread.  You will receive up to 15 pts to Scrap for participating!  They are a great way to get all those summertime pictures scrapped fast. Take a peek over in the CT and Designer Darling Calls section of the forum to see the current calls we have going on, more will pop up over the summer as everyone gears up for fall! And what you have been reading for: The August Mega Designer Collaboration, The Great Outdoors. Camping is always a challenge to get going, an awesome adventure while you're there and a great appreciation of the small things when you return home. Best time to relive those special moments is while you scrap the beautiful pages. The Stuff to Scrap Designers have all been hard at work on the monthly mega collab with contributions from Build a Memory, Designs by Snowlady, Desert Digi-Scrap, Growing Pains Scrapped, JensenMotleyCrew Designs, Shel Belle Scraps, and Scraps by Andrea. You not only get a great kit but a great sampling of the various designers' styles. Check out this gorgeous collection of talent! After playing with this batch of goodies a camping trip doesn't sound like a bad idea. This kit contains: 2 alphas, 2 templates, glitter(styles, sheets, and patterns) , 82 elements, and 21 papers. Just what you'll need to complete the August Mega Kit Challenge! Purchase The Great Outdoors before Thursday, August 7th & you'll receive the matching quick page set for free (a coupon will be included in your download).

With the mention of summer coming to an end there is also change in the air. Seasons of change is our theme for the August Build A Kits!

You'll find a whole range of fun paper and element packs to pick up, in this season of change.
