Sneak Peeks

January 17, 2013 by altimasport

Good morning scrappers!!! I hope you all are doing well. Here on the East Coast of the states we are getting ready for some snow. I guess winter time is really here.

Well our designers here at Gingerscraps have been busy!! I have some beautiful eye candy to share with you this morning. If you love templates then you are going to love these by Angelclaud Art Room.

I love templates with a bunch of photo openings. These will be perfect for our snow pictures:)

Neverland Scraps has done a awesome job with this new kit. I love the western feel to it. It is completely adorable and perfect for all your cowboy pictures.

I know I will be putting this kit to some good use.

Connie Prince has some cute kits coming out tomorrow and will just be perfect for those special pictures of your little ones doing what they do best, playing.

Here is something new from Pixelily Designs it is just beautiful. I can’t wait to see the entire thing

revealed tomorrow. I have a few ideas popping around in my head for this one:)

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see all these goodies tomorrow. I hope everyone stays warm and I’ll see ya next week.

Challenge Spotlight – Desktop Challenge

January 15, 2013 by GingerScraps

Good morning, all. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It was a rainy, cool weekend here in Texas and I was finally able to get some scrapping and crafting done. It’s mid-month and I’m trying to get some more challenges done. This week’s challenge spotlight is on the January 2013 Desktop Challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs! Next month will be Valentine’s and Ivonne has created a lovely desktop template to celebrate the holiday of love:

I just love pink and hearts, so decorating for Valentine’s is one of my favorite things. Might as well decorate my desktop, while I’m at it! 🙂 If you’re not a Valentine’s fan or a pink and hearts kind of gal, here’s some inspiration for you:

Beautiful takes on this template. I of course love Lydia’s hot pink and glitter desktop! I also like the boy-ish direction Yavonn went in and the cool, wintery blues Sarah used. There are a lot more lovely desktops already completed, so stop by the thread if you want some more inspiration or just want to leave some love for the talented scrappers. 🙂

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to swing by the January 2013 Challenge Tracking thread and start your tracking post. All your completed challenges will be tallied at the end of the month and you’ll get a reward based on how many you complete! Completing just one challenge gets you a reward, so make sure you jump in soon. If you want more info or have a question about any of our monthly challenges, you can post in the Cookie Jar and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

That’s it for this week’s challenge spotlight. See you next Tuesday! 🙂

Fresh Baked: New Designer

January 15, 2013 by Sarah

Good morning! I hope that your Monday wasn’t too hectic. If it was, maybe this will bring a smile to your face!

Two big things are happening at Gingerscraps. One is that we have a new designer joining the team! Theresa, of Simple Girl Scraps!

We asked, as always, for Theresa to tell us a little about herself, and this what she had to share:

Hi Everyone! My name is Theresa, aka Simple Girl Scraps. I’m a 28 year old Canadian and a creative enthusiast! I love all things creative and crafty! I started scrapbooking when I was in middle school and started digiscrapping nearly 5 years ago when I moved to Japan and had limited access to scrapbooking supplies! I started designing 2 and a half years ago with some encouragement from a friend and I love it!
Other things I love: vintage cameras, owls, cooking, thrifting, quilting, running, and weight lifting!

Oh wow. She’s lived in Japan. That’s so cool! I can’t wait to hear more about it!

Here are just a few of the items that she has in her store for you:

https://store.gingerscraps.net/My-Everyday-Life.html

https://store.gingerscraps.net/My-Story.html

Okay, I think I might all of them. Anything with a computer and a smartphone speaks to me, what can I say?

Well, I guess that’s it.
What? What do you mean I forgot something.

OH! That second thing I promised.

With each new year, it means a fresh start. In the digi world, that means a retirement.
No, wait, calm down. No designers are retiring, as far as I know.
It’s okay, that was my first reaction too.

No, Gingerscraps is having a HUGE retirement sale. For the products in the sale section, this is your last chance to get those kits and templates!

Okay, that’s it! Thank you for reading and just being a part of GS! We adore our members!

See you again on Friday!
