Fresh Baked! 3/18

March 18, 2011 by GingerScraps

PHEW! What a week! Spring cleaning is finally done around here. Well, maybe not done as much as I’ve had enough of it. I posted pictures of the painted bedroom in the forum if you were just dying to see how it turned out. I must say though that having the windows opened with the warmer air coming in is making me want to do more. I’m going to try to wait until the feeling passes though…just don’t tell ok?

Did you know today is the LAST day for our Spring Clean sale? This is one thing you don’t want to pass out. I mean why would you? They are all 50% or more off — what is better then that!!!

Let’s Get Crafty!

March 17, 2011 by GingerScraps

Wow…Thursday…I’m totally unprepared forLet’s get Crafty today! Even after Steph posted last week! I’m still not prepared. Since I am such a flake 🙂 For this weeks Let’s Get Crafty I am going to just feature a challenge from Gingerscraps! It’s is a crafty challenge though 🙂 The “Candy Wrapper Challenge” is our “Hybrid” challenge! Now that is crafty right! Hybrid crafts are great! Cute name too huh. Shannon came up with that one, she is so clever!

For the month of March the hybrid challenge is so easy! I made it nice and simple so everyone could play along!

So, for march we are actually doing something pretty easy…although, some of you have probably never used your digi scrapping supplies to make “Home Decor” I do it all the time! Hey, these kits are so cute. Why not show them off in your home!
You can get very elaborate with these home decor projects, or they can be as simple as making a “LO” and printing, framing and putting on your wall.
So, let’s start with EASY! Printing, Framing and Hanging on the wall! Any one can do it!
Here is a real simple idea. Take a frame, maybe one that you go buy, or one that is sitting around your house. I have one in my dining room that I put some Valentines day “Digi Artwork” in for the month of Feb. I liked it so much I decided to replace the Artwork monthly for holidays or seasons.
Here is the Feb artwork…

Here it is with the March “Artwork”…

So, your challenge for the month is to get some kind of digi design up in your house somewhere! Anyway you like. you can go the easy way like I did or make something else! Just get some Hybrid juice flowing!

Visit us in the Hybrid Challenge Forum and get your Craft on!

Oh, hey I just thought of something cute to share with you for St. Pattys Day! I guess this post will have a little project..lol..funny how I just though of this! Last night my daughter had to make “Something Sweet” and take photos of it for her 12th grade photography class. With is being St. Patty’s Day she decided to make these…

The ingerdients…Marshmellows, White Choc Chips, yellow Food coloring and Green Sprinkles!

Melt the chocolate chips, add some yellow food coloring, dip the marshmallow in the melted chocolate and sprinkle on the green! Done! Sweet and cute!! Display them in a cute container with some little decorations. (I used my St. Pattys Day Felties.) It looks like a party! 🙂

Wouldn’t your kids love to have this for a special St. Pattys Day treat!

Happy St. Patty’s Day! Here is a pinch from me if your not wearing GREEN!

New GingerBread Lady!! 3/16

March 16, 2011 by GingerScraps

Please pardon the interruption but there is some very exciting news that just can’t wait until Friday’s New Release newsletter. How do I know this can’t wait? Well, I’ve been spring cleaning my house. It started with the painting I told you about on Friday, then turned into closets, bathrooms, light fixtures, etc. Oh yes, I’ve been bitten by the spring cleaning bug. My house looks great, but me? I’m exhausted. Anyway, I stopped the cleaning to tell you this news!

We have a new designering joining us! Yup!! Ivonne (aka Craft-tastrophic Designs) is joining us!!

We asked her to tell us about herself and this is what she said:

Hi! My name is Ivonne and I´m the designer behind Craft-tastrophic Designs.

I live in Monterrey, Mexico and I´m a pediatrician. I´ve been married to Jorge almost for 14 years, plus 6 more as a couple, plus 4 more as friends. We have a beautiful daughter 5 years old who is the protagonist in almost every one of my LOs. I love everything craft!!! and in july 2009 started digital design and Craft-tastrophic was born…

My style… I´ll have to say Craft-tastrophic-o!

Now I have the opportunity to be part of Ginger Scraps!!!

Challenge Spotlight – Food Coloring

March 14, 2011 by GingerScraps

Well we’ve hit just about halfway through March. It’s time for that weather to be lamb-like right? Well outside my window it is pouring & both my kiddos have developed a cough. I feel like it’s been one illness after another for 3 months. Sheesh. But on the upside it is Monday and that means time for the Challenge Spotlight! But first we need a winner from last week! Our winner is . . . . Tina! aka Ambelleina for her remake from this to THIS! I love the remake and such a clever idea to use the ticket as the background! Here’s what you’ve won Tina!

So this week’s Challenge Spotlight is the Food Coloring challenge! Hosted this month by Cari Creates!

Never played the Food Coloring Challenge? It’s easy! The host posts a color palette and you have to use every color in the palette somewhere in your LO. To make it even easier they let you know a coordinating kit you can use but you don’t HAVE to use that kit. Just those colors! 🙂

Ready to see this months palette?

Look familiar? It should! It coordinates with Ellie’s Daily Download!

Cari is even giving out a FREE kit from Cari Creates!! How sweet is that? Here’s some great LO’s already on display.

Cute as can be! Now it’s YOU’RE turn! Break out that daily download or scour your supplies for those colors and head over the the March Food Coloring Challenge

Then post the link to your LO in the gallery and post it in a comment here. Next week I’ll randomly select one and that person will win a prize from ME! (Harmonystar).

CT & those who have already done a LO with this kit are elligable. Let me see those comments!

Here’s one that was made using the Daily Download kit! 🙂 Yay! I just love the journaling around the picture and that little dog is too cute!!! It is linked to the gallery so you can leave some love if you have a minute!

There have been a few requests for the first couple days of the Daily Download. So I am going to post those here and they will stay active for a couple more days. 🙂

Day 1 / Day 2 / Day 3 / Day 4

And of course here’s your Day 14:

I’m a day late posting the LOTW winner, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it!! It just means I had a sick little one and he didn’t want to share me with my computer for any longer. I am hoping it’s only allergies for him this time, but whatever it is, extra special cuddles help him feel better.

So this week’s LOTW winner is navaja77 with her “Fort Worth Zoo” LO. I love all the pictures in the LO. She was able to fit so many without sacraficing elements!! Excellent layout!! Click on the image to leave her some love or click here to view her entire Gingerscraps Gallery.

This layout was created using several goodies found right here at Gingerscraps!

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.
