Now that you know what is going on around my house, let me tell you about life here at GingerScraps.  You read on Wednesday that we have a great designer joining us.  Yay for LauraMarie Scraps!!  We have some fantastic sales going on right now, we have some amazing new releases for today, and even a new welcome kit!  Oh yea, things are good here!!

What do you think?  Great stuff huh?  Well just wait until Wednesday….oh shoot, I shouldn’t have said that.  Don’t tell anyone ok?  Our secret?  Thanks!!  Have a great weekend and I’ll see you soon!

Do any of you have any water I can have?  I’m sitting here at my computer just melting.  The heat index has the temperature up at 105 degrees.  I know the south and the west may be used to it, but here in New England?  In June?  Yeah, not so much.  There are some schools here that are closing because of the heat.  Enough about the weather (which always seems to be what I talk about huh?).  My vacation is coming up and I can’t wait.  We have 15 days until school is over, and we leave in 17 days.  I suppose I should get caught up with my laundry huh?  While I do that, you guys read what is new here!!  (Don’t forget to read the whole newsletter for some great deals).

This week’s Welcome Wagon kit is by HK Designs.  Trust me when I say you will want to pick this up!  All you have to do is be registered in our forum!  That’s it!  Plus you can get all of the ones from the previous weeks!!

Here are our New Releases for the week.  Now remember, if you spend $10 in the store you get this grab bag by Pretty In Green!!

First up is our guest Kat’s Creations!!!

If you are one of the lucky ones not to experience **monsters in kid disguises** you’ll find plenty of other uses for this super cute kit because it is packed with all kinds of versatile elements and really fun papers. (Please note that this kit was part of the iNSD grab bag)

This alpha is perfect for all your SILLY photos! We all have those photos where someone is sticking out their tongue, crossing their eyes, or doing some funny, monster-like performance in front of the camera. You can enhance the silliness with the Little Monster alpha. This alpha coordinates with the Mommy’s Little Monster kit! The alpha includes numbers and symbols, there are TWO sets of upper case and lower case letters; one WITH googly eyes and one without.

Variety is “The Spice Of Life,” and this beautiful template pack offers you lots of scrapping variety. You will find templates with the assorted popular scrapping styles: super circles, beautiful blocking, paper pieces with vertical and horizontal orientation, and a detailed layout with the “action” going down the middle of the page. Each template offers you a layout with a different style, but they are not so different that they wouldn’t look good right next to each other in your albums! Have fun adding spice and variety to your layouts with “The Spice Of Life” Template pack by Unforgettable Moments. (Please note that this template pack was part of the iNSD grab bag)
