Hi there!  Happy Monday!!!  Here in the states today is Memorial Day.  I do hope that you will all take a moment to remember those that have fought for our freedoms.  And if you are going out and about – please be safe.  Do you have plans today?  Having a cookout?  Lounging by the pool?  Staying in out of the heat and scrapping?

Only one more day and the kit will be finished!  Glad you all have enjoyed it!  🙂

Have a great day!

Fresh Baked! 5/27

Long time no talk!  It’s been such a long time since you’ve heard from me huh?  I can’t believe it’s been two full days!  What have you been up to?  Yeah, nothing much here either.  I do want to take a mintue though to check in with our friends in the mid-west.  On behalf of Ginger, myself, and the entire staff at GingerScraps, you all have our thoughts and prayers.  The weather has definitely been crazy, we just hope it quiets down soon.

Since this is the last newsletter of the month we have some lose ends we need to tie up.  I’m not really sure where to start though.  I supposed I should start with the sad news of another designer leaving.  Daphadilly Art is retiring from designing.  We are all so sad to hear this, but are happy for her and her new journey.  Her store is all marked on sale with most items being 50% off.  Make sure you grab them while you can!

Plus you heard last week that Ellie Lash leaving.  This is your last opportunity to get her entire store for 60% off.

Your last chance to get Creations by Julie’s Grab bag for free is now!  All you have to do is spend $10 in the store (talk about easy to do!) and the grab bag will be automatically added.

This is also your last chance to get Valarie Ostrom’s amazing products with her as a guest.

Now not everything that is going on is sad.  We do have some very exciting news.  Some I can tell you about now, some other things are going to have to wait until Wednesday (the 1st).  We do have a new guest starting then, but I can’t tell you who yet (she is a great designer though!).  We are also going to have our $1 Bake Sale on Wednesday, along with our monthly Buffet Kits!  The other stuff you will have to wait and see…Stay Tuned!!

For today though we have our new releases!

You’ll say ooo! ahhh! at these fun 7 CU layered firework burst in PSD and PNG files. Celebrate with Pretty in Green!

That seems to be it for today!  We’ll see you back here on Wednesday!!!  Have a safe and happy weekend!  Happy Memorial Day!

New GingerBread Lady! 5/25

You probably have been on the edge of your seat all weekend wanting to know what was going to happen today.  This news is so excited I couldn’t wait to tell you.  You probably want me to just come out with it and tell you, but I can’t.  I mean I can, but where is the fun in that?  Ok, fine you all win!  We have a new designer joining us!  I know!  Great huh?!?!?

This new designer is Andrea of Little Green Frog Designs!!!!

Here are some ways for you to stalk her!

**Facebook**   **Newsletter**   **Blog**   **Store**

Would you like to learn more about her?  I asked her to tell me a little bit about herself and this is what she had to say:

I am currently 35, married to my childhood sweetheart and we have two children, Jayden 10 and Ellie 7. Both tend to feature heavily in my layouts (Ellie more so as Jayden has now developed a photo allergy it seems). We live on the NW coast of England in a small town called Morecambe (if you’re familiar with Morecambe and Wise, this is where Eric Morecambe was born and where he took his name from). At the moment I’m not working – not through choice but the job market isn’t great at the moment – however, it does leave me plenty of time to scrap and design my templates.

I’ve only been selling my templates since May of this year after some pushing by friends to give it a go and I’ve really enjoyed it so far and am looking forward to joining the community at Gingerscraps.

When I’m not scrapping, I love reading anything crime fiction, going to the theatre and all things Disney (which incidentally is the reason I ended up discovering digi scrapping to begin with !)

I’ve been talking with Andrea a lot these past couple of weeks getting ready for today and I can honestly tell you she is such a sweetheart!  You guys are going to just love her!!

Time to show you her amazing templates.  You won’t believe it but Andrea doesn’t have just 1 or 2 items in her store to open with.  No sir!  She has 10!  Make sure you check out her store to see them all!  Here are just a few of them.

All In a Week Template Pack
These templates are perfect for those 365 pages or just for those of you who like scrapping with multiple photos.Includes 4 templates, saved as layered PSD & TIF files as well as individual PNG files. TIF and PSD files are pre-shadowed but are easily adjustable

Spaced Out Template Pack
This quirky set of templates help you create the perfect white space but still allow for plenty of clustering.

Includes 4 templates, saved as layered PSD & TIF files as well as individual PNG files. TIF and PSD files are pre-shadowed but are easily adjustable

*Stacked papers to help you create your overall look.

*Cluster templates to help with photos and clustering.

*Paper bits for those who want added layers.

*Title stencils of everyday words to give you a big bold cut out title.

Includes 4 templates, saved as layered PSD & TIF files as well as individual PNG files. TIF and PSD files are pre-shadowed but are easily adjustable

Incredible right?  Wait until you see the other ones in her store!  Plus if that isn’t enough her entire store is 25% off!  The only catch is it is only on sale for today and tomorrow..so Hurrry!!

So that’s it!  Enjoy shopping at Andrea’s store and have a great rest of your week and I will see you back here on Friday!!

This week’s LOTW winner is Andrea4376 with her No, no, no LO.  I love the colors, clustering,  and the angle of the LO. This LO has funny jounaling too. I bet most moms can relate! Click on the image to leave her some love or click here to view her entire Gingerscraps Gallery.
