Oh my goodness do I have some fabulous sneak peeks for you this week. Our designers have been super busy.
Whew… I am totally excited about the new goodies this week. Make sure you head over to the store on Friday to pick up your favorites. Make sure to check out the blog tomorrow for some sneak peeks from our fabulous store CT.
Happy 2017. Hard to believe it’s a new year. With a new year (month) comes a new GingerScraps Featured Designer. This month we are talking to Natasha of Ponytails Designs.
How did you get started in digital scrapbooking?
After my daughter was born I was looking for something quiet to do while baby napped. A friend had tried digital and I thought it was a cool idea. I gave it a try and was hooked.
What made you decide to design?
I’ve always been a creative person and so I thought I’d give it a try. I love the whole process from planning to the actual design work itself.
What do you use to create your designs (program, additional tools, etc.)?
I mainly use Photoshop CC. I’ve been trying to learn AI but am finding it really frustrating.
Describe your design workplace.
I have a small desk in the kitchen where I set up my laptop. From there I’m fairly central in the house and can keep an eye on my daughter, as well as be a part of whatever else is going on in the house.
What is your favorite thing about designing?
I love the creative process.
What is your favorite kit currently in your GS store and why?
My favorite is probably Country Girl. I designed that completely for myself. It reflects who I am and what my life is all about.
What’s your favorite holiday?
Summer holidays for sure. Does that count? lol
What is your favorite family holiday tradition?
Our annual summer RV trip we take with friends. We take 2-3 weeks and explore new places and definitely new wineries!
If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Do not attempt to approach in the morning unless coffee has been consumed.
Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?
Coffee, for sure.
How would your friends describe you?
Friendly, warm, welcoming, and always smiling
What would you prefer as a second home: Mountain cabin, beach house, or big city condo?
Beach house for sure. In my dream world I’d have a ranch next to a beach on Maui.
Thanks Natasha!!
Make sure to check out her GS Store, Facebook page, and blog.
Also make sure you are checking out the GS Blog every day to grab pieces of the special kit she is sharing with us this month.
Still getting the hang of typing 2017. Writing it, too. The first week of 2017 is nearly over and the designers are already showing that they’re going to do some amazing things this year!
Remember when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great new collab!

Happy Wednesday. Are you ready for some sneak peeks? Let’s see what the designers have coming out this week.
I love the colors of these. I can’t wait to go shopping.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
We seem to start every New Year’s newsletter that way. It’s a great tradition. This year, changes might happen, but some things will stay the same. We’ll add new designers, but we won’t lose that “it’s like family” feeling you’ll always find in the forums and gallery. Thank you, all of you, for a wonderful year at Gingerscraps, and here’s to a new one filled with so much more!
It is the First of the month, and that means the revel of our new Buffet!!
*NEW Buffet Bundles* Take a look at our all new Buffet Bundles! Each buffet for 2016 will have a sub category for our Buffet Bundles. One easy click to add bunches of Buffet goodies to your cart, and an amazing value too!
The designers all had their own take on what the colors and theme said to them! I love the variety!
The designers definitely each made the palette their own and came up with some gorgeous designs, each unique but working so well with the other designers’ creations
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 several new designers joining the team, and our December Guest is staying through January!

Thank you for sticking around, Rhonda!
Please welcome Jennifer, of Word Art World!!
We asked Jennifer to give us a quick note about herself, and this is what she had to share:
Hello! My name is Jen Arbon and I design under the name Word Art World. I began creating word art designs over six years ago and fell in love with designing digital scrapbooking products and printable wall art. I am married to a wonderful, supportive husband and together we have three beautiful children. Currently, I am studying Web Design and want to teach Web Design at our local high school, against my two teenagers’ wishes. Years ago, I set a goal to "create" something new every day, and that is why I love designing because it gives me the opportunity to do just that.
Here are just a few things she has in her store:

Please welcome Kristina, of Kristmess Designs!
We asked Kristina to give us a quick note about herself, and this is what she had to share:
Hmm a bio? What can I tell you about myself? My name is Kristina Messier, I design under the name of Kristmess Designs, I have been selling at Gotta Pixel since the store opened a million years ago – okay so more like 10!! I am a very shy and quiet person, I was born and raised in England, travelled the world working on Cruiseships for 4 years where I met my husband, a French Canadian, and I now live in Montreal QC Canada, with him and our 3 sons. As you know I’ve been working as a designer for the past 10 years or so before that I worked at Sears PhotoStudio taking photos of the little kiddies! I have a degree in Photography but don’t really use it now since I found my passion is with Photoshop!!
Here are just a few things she has in her store:
