New GingerBread Lady!! 7-6

My wonderful Shannon left me, she is on vacation, enjoying time with her family. But the fun doesn’t stop around here! We have some very exciting new today!! A New GingerBread Lady!!

Twin Mom Scraps

As always- Stalkers welcome 🙂

GS SHOPBLOGFACEBOOKTWITTER

You can also grab and wear her blinkie too!

We have been getting to know eachother in the private designer forum at GS, and I know you are all going to just love her! She is a perfect addition to the GingerSraps family!!

Here is a little bit more about her…..

She is a 32, stay at home mom to 6 year old twin girls. Which is obviously how she got her design name.

She paper scrapped for over 10 years before she found digital scrapbooking.
She got really into digital scrapbooking after she broke her back in an auto accident in 2007.
During a painful recovery, she couldn’t do much else, but sit on the couch with her laptop. So she scrapped and scrapped!
Then she wanted to know how the amazing designers were creating such beautiful kits.
She reached out to a few designers for some tips and she was on her way. She considers herself a self-taught designer.
So she has been designing since 2008 or so and hasn’t looked back…and can’t go a day without her laptop!!!

Isn’t she so sweet?!?!

Here is a quick glance at some of the goodies you will find in her SHOP!

https://scrapstreet.com/magazine/magazinehome.htm

And now the moment you have all been waiting for…… The GingerScraps Guest Designer for July is…….

Jen Yurko!!!!

Here is a little more about Jen:

I’m a 38yo stay at home mom, married to the most awesome man on the planet 😉 We are an army family… DH has been career all the way. Which really doesn’t bother me, having grown up a Navy brat. Between the two of us, we have 7 children… ages 19, 17, 16, 13, 12, 11 & 8… plus a cat and a dog. I’ve been digi-scrapping for about 3 1/2 years now, designing for a little over 2 of those years. I love the creative process and have recently switched gears in my designing to include more doodlage and less purchased CU. There are CU designers out there that are just too good to pass up though 😉 Aside from digital scrapbooking & designing, I love making blinkies & banners, I dabble in web design, and I am hooked on Mario games for our Wii. I’ve also gotten myself a Kindle and have been reading a lot lately! I’m so excited to be here at GingerScraps and hope you enjoy my designs as much as I did creating them!

And now here is a taste of the goodies Jen has in store for you this month at GingerScraps-
