Fresh Baked: May 01, 2015

If you don’t have a cup of coffee or a glass of water, I suggest you grab yourself one before you start this newsletter. It’s a long one but it’s so chocked full of amazing goodies that it will be so worth it!

It is the First of the month, and that means the revel of our new Buffet!! Don’t forget the new Buffet items will all be 50% off (from the 1-5th of the month)!

The designers all had their own take on what the colors and theme said to them! I love the variety!

The designers knocked it out of the park. The designs are just amazing and so well done!

The CT did such a great job showing how well all of the kits blend. They all did wonderful work!

This is just a few of the layouts. Keep an eye out in future newsletters to see more. Maybe even one of yours, if you make sure you put it into the Buffet section of the gallery!

This month, we have a new GUEST DESIGNER!!


Lorie of LJS Designs!

I love hearing about our new designers, and Lorie was no different! Here’s what she had to share with us:

Hey Ginger Scraps! Thanks for having me. I am Lorie of LJS Designs, Loriebug66 in the forum, and I am pretty darned excited to be Miss May! Oops, I mean to be guesting here in May.
Here are some fast and random facts about me.
I am on the downhill side of 45, but since 50 is the new 30 I am okay with it, most days.
I am a single mom to an adult son who I am putting through college with my design money. Three more semesters to go!!! (He says he wants to go to grad school, but I told him I am not paying for grad school. I want to take a vacation some day, ya know? LOL)
My mother also lives with us. She is a handful on the best of days and a terror on her worst.
We have three rescue pups and two rescue cats and no more room!!! I always say that, yet I have agreed to take in a hedge hog that needs a home. I try to say no, and they just pull me back in. His name is Ron. Who names a hedgehog Ron??
I work as a Production Planning Supervisor for an international fruit company by day and design at night and on the weekends. My home office is also part laundry room, so I am always caught up on the laundry.
My forum name, Loriebug66, comes from the nickname I have had all my life, Loriebug, or just Bug, which is what most of my family calls me. My sister’s nickname is Princess. Not that I am jealous or anything. 😉
I talk too much, don’t have an edit button so I often blurt out what I am thinking, (don’t worry I can control it in writing) and tend to over use the smilies. A LOT!
Finally, I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone.

And here are just a few of the things you’ll find in her store:

I’m proud to also let you know that Key Lime Digi Design will be staying with us another month!

We are also blessed to welcome another new designer to the team!


Silvia of Silvia Romeo Designs!

You know we ask the designers for a quick bio and this is what Silvia had to share with us:

I am a SAH wife and mother, living in Brazil, with my husband for the past 43 years and one of my daughters. My other daughter is married and lives with her DH and two sons a few minutes away. I am also Mommy to two adorable Pomeranian puppies and I am completely nuts about them – they are a very important part of our lives. I am passionate about reading, listening to good music, cooking and a huge movies and TV series fan.
My father was a designer, and I used to paint on porcelain and canvas. In fact, I grew up around art and always had to have an outlet for creativity. When I found Digital Scrapbooking, about 10 years ago, I was in heaven. This is simply the perfect craft!
I LOVE designing and I treasure the ability to leave a legacy of memories for generations to come. Not only can we leave the images of our lives, but our inner thoughts and feelings, as well. And we are also able to deliver all this artistically, creatively and beautifully. That is priceless!

And here are just a few things she has in the store for you:

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Lavender-Fields-Kit-by-Silvia-Romeo.html


https://store.gingerscraps.net/The-Pirate-King-Kit-by-Silvia-Romeo.html

I’m so excited, and you should be too! Make sure you welcome the new designers, and our guest!

This month’s Monthly Mix is called “May Flowers”! It was collabed between Connie Prince, GingerScraps, and Magical Scraps Galore. Oh yes. You read that right! GingerScraps designed again! Maybe this’ll inspire her to start doing it again! We miss seeing her pretty designs!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/Monthly-Mix-May-Flowers.html

April’s Daily Download was such a big hit! Connie Prince and Trixie Scraps teaming up together is always a good thing!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/Nature-Boy-by-North-Meets-South-Studios.html

This month’s is very spring-centric, and looking at the colors in the hint, it looks like it’ll match nicely with May’s Monthly Mix! I love when that happens!

Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag!

Before I start with the rest of the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released!

Starts: Friday, May 1st Ends: Thursday, May 7th


https://store.gingerscraps.net/GingerBread-Ladies-MEGA-Collab-selfie.html

The perfect collab for all those “selfie queens”, the ones with the selfie sticks, the ones who know if they don’t take a selfie, there won’t be too many pictures of themselves! This collab is HUGE and it goes with the Facebook Hop as well!

https://forums.gingerscraps.net/showthread.php?29071-iNSD-2015-Scavenger-Hunt

Check out the store, each designer!

Find this guy:

The full set of rules, lists of designers participating, and that goodness are all in the forum! The Gingerbread looks super cute with his selfie-stick, though, doesn’t he?

It wouldn’t be a Gingerscraps party without a Facebook hop! Start at the forum, and always return there if you get lost!

**NOTE** The official start time is 10:00am EST, so if you get to any of the stops- and their goodies are not posted yet, please come on back to their page once the Hop has officially started. Thank you for understanding!
