This LO was creating using Nightshade by Susie of PsychoZoe Designs

You can pick outstanding gallery layouts which become the next LOTW nominee’s by posting in the “Baker’s Best” thread. Check out the rules here.

As always your vote counts so head over the the forum to vote for the next LOTW winner. You can be a LOTW winner too, all you have to do is scrap! Happy Scrapping.

Starting this week, and hopefully each and every Sunday, I’m going to give a run-down on what’s been happening at Gingerscraps for the past week. That means the Facebook & at the forum itself

So, we’ll start with a few of the challenges that are happening.

A new template challenge has started. This half of the month is hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps. The template is just gorgeous!

Awesome, right? Make sure you check out the challenge!

We also have the awesome hybrid challenge. Hybrid has become a big thing around the digi-scrap world! Enough so that even Gingerscraps had to create a hybrid CT :O Pretty cool right! This month’s hybrid challenge is all about the love notes!

Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs, really outdid herself! An envelope and a card! Pretty cool right?!

Now, it’s time to check out the Facebook page! There’s a freebie on the freebie tab. Twin Mom Scraps created it. It’s SO adorable!

Someone pointed out that we, Gingerscraps, are SO close to 2000 fans! Holy crap! Wow! So close! Do you think we can hit 2000 before I have to post next Sunday? Let’s see if we can! I dare you to do it!!

There’s a note from Terra thanking everyone from joining in on the Speed Scrap on Friday. Did you know she’s going to be hosting one EVERY week? So freaking cool, right?

I joined in on that scrap Friday, and it was PACKED, but it was so much fun! A lot more chatting than scrapping happened, but we all had fun! We’re always welcoming newbies too! So, join us next week.

Speaking of joining us, I’m taking a peek at the chatter forum, and we discuss a wide-range of topics there.

One recurring one, a thread that pops up every month: Birchboxers! It’s about the monthy/bi-monthly deliveries of freebies and the like. Birchbox is $10 a month, and I think MyGlam is a little more, and you can see in the thread that everyone has their own opinions and it’s so cool to see!! Me? I’m a MyGlam girl all the way. Every month they make me smile!

Inspired Designs is looking for what you listen to when you scrap. What music do you listen to? Personally, I’m totally into anything. I use Spotify, and it jumps from Contemporary Christian to Linkin Park to Katy Perry to Adele to Jason Aldean. Oh, and don’t forget the random Disney music I like my music, what can I say? What do you prefer? We’d LOVE to hear your opinions and suggestions!!

Hildur is on the hunt for hair styles for medium length hair. Only suggestion I have is clippies because that’s all I wear. She’s wanting something else, so maybe you can help her out!

Prettyingreen (aka Rachel) just redid her kitchen! The pictures of the before and after show a dramatic difference! Rachel, I hope you love your new kitchen!! I’m totally and completely jealous!!

Day #18

Have a fabulous day!!!!

Day #17

Hope to see you all tonight at the speed scrap.  We are looking for a big crowd and excited to see some new faces too!!!  Will you be there?

Have a fabulous Friday!!!

It’s Friday.  No seriously, it is.  Don’t believe me?  Go look at the calendar.  I’ll wait.  …  …  See?  Where did the week go?  It just flew by here for us.  I’m thankful it is here though.  I’ve had enough of this week and I’m looking forward to a long weekend.  The kids are off Monday for President’s day, and Tuesday for February vacation.  I definitely could use the break.  Speaking of break (go with it…trust me) how was your Valentine’s Day?  Everything I had planned went down the drain when I noticed my car was leaking.  I thought it was oil, but after bringing it to the gas station I found out it was Power Steering Fluid – see?  I brought it all back around to needing a break…and my car was broken…lol.  Anway, I got it fixed but it took a while.

 I would like to now show you our new releases!  We have so many new items!  Don’t forget though our Free with $10 purchase grab bag by Luv Ewe Designs.

And now our new releases:

There you have it.  Please make sure you keep reading the upcoming newsletters.  I have a few things up my sleeve that you will definitely want to know about!  Shhh….

This is a big weekend for me – we are moving to a new place.  I am so beyond excited about this place!!!  It is out on a dirt road with an open cul-de-sac in the front and a lake in the back!  I cannot wait to start making wonderful family memories in this little place!  Today I am going to clean it all up before we do the big move on Saturday.

So – just so you know – I will be scheduling these posts out for the rest of the month… so that y’all don’t get left out while I’m in the middle of Move Time Chaos.  :)  I will still be checking in on the comments as well as the other ladies too… so if there are any issues – as always please let us know.

A few other things to let you know about -

We’ve got some exciting things coming up for GingerScraps.  I’m sure you’ve seen how we are growing and we want to keep it going!  There are some new ladies joining the team that will be working on the blog too – so even more exciting stuff will be going on around here!  Plus our Facebook page is getting pretty exciting so you might want to visit there too when you have a minute.

Also… we have are having a regularly scheduled speed scrap starting this Friday night!  Terra of Sugar Kissed Designs will be hosting and we’d love to have you there!!!!

Okay…

that’s it for now…
