GS_Survivor_6_LostAtSea_Gallery_Week_2

It is that time of the week! Well, it will be while Survivor Lost At Sea is going!! We take a look back at some of the layouts from week 2. You guys, once again, have made my job really difficult. I am going to have to start choosing more-and-more layouts with the coming weeks!

Week 2- {Message in a Bottle} *The Challenge*
This layout is all about your “message in a bottle”. You need to write a letter to the person you think (or you wish) would come to your rescue. This person can be living or passed on, they can be a person you know, or someone that you wish would save you (like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).

 

I really enjoyed looking through the layouts & reading all the messages in the bottle. I am a huge fan of journaling pages. So, this was right up my alley!! Here are just a few of the stand out layouts from week two’s challenge. (all images are linked to the gallery. You know, so you can go leave the love!)

Such great takes on the challenge, right?! You can go to the gallery to read the message in the bottle for all of them but Little Rad Trios. Her’s you can read pretty well off the layout. The rest have them typed out in the credits. They are worth the read!! Make sure you are getting your layouts up in the gallery before the deadline. By doing so, not only do you take the chance of going on to the next week, you get the chance to be showcased here!! Happy Scrapping!!

GingerBread Girl Inspiration: craftytam

July 11, 2015 by

GS_blog_GingerBreadGirlsInspiration_Header

Have you checked out our team page? If you haven’t, you should! I’ve been known to go there tiem-to-time when my mojo has gone on vacation. You can find links to store, galleries, and more there. Today though, we are going to focus on one of the GingerBread Girls. That is what the creative team members here at GS are called.

Today’s GingerBread Girl that we are going to check out is craftytam.

Tammy (if you didn’t catch that by her forum name) is someone I want to scrap like when I grow up! I love well done cluster work and she takes the cake! You want to see what I am talking about, right? Let us take a look a just a few of Tammy’s great layouts!

Are they not lovely?! Of course one of the main things that stand out from her layouts is the great cluster work. Wonderful shadowing and knowing just where to tuck elements in to make it appealing to the eye, isn’t always easily done. Tammy makes them look just that, easy!

What else is noticeable about her layouts is that she doesn’t shy away from bold colors and fun patterns. Sometimes people are scared from a stand out and shout at you patterned paper. Tammy knows how to take those kinds of papers and make them work for her. And of course, great photos!!

That is all we have for you today. We hope you find some inspiration by taking a look at the Tammy’s layouts. It is always an honor to have someone scrap lift you! If you got inspiration from this and scrap-lifted a layout, make sure to link us up! Run over to the gallery, load that lovely layout up, and come back here. One thing we like to do around here is leave layout lovin’!

GS_blog_LetsCelebrate_Header

Good Monday morning! For those in the states, did you have have a good Independence Day? Canadians, did you have a good Canada Day?! I hope you did and I hope you took lots of photos. I am here today to help take the chore of looking for kits for said photos. We are going to take a look at some of the great digital scrapbooking supplies in the store to scrap those 4th of July and Canada Day photos!

Just like the holiday’s before, we have an entire section dedicated to patriotic digital scrapbooking supplies. If you already have the ones I am about to showcase in your stash or just want something else, make sure to check there. Here are just a few items to get your patriotic layouts scrapped. (all images linked).

 

 

 

 

Some great designs, right? We would love to see what you are scrapping with our patriotic designs. Make sure you upload your layouts to the gallery. There is a challenge that goes perfectly with these patriotic goodies. There are a lot more patriotic items in July’s Buffet. You can take those July Buffet layouts & take part in the Buffett challenge in the forum! There is also a color challenge this month that would work well with your patriotic layouts! So, get those holiday photos scrapped & links us up!

Disney Fonts

June 27, 2015 by

Good morning scrappers. Team member La’Shawn here to talk about fonts. I think it comes with the scrappy territory…font addiction. I don’t think I’ve met a scrapper who didn’t have more fonts than they could ever use. That being said, if you are anything like me, you never stop to think about adding another font to your collection. Remember when we talked about Disney pages the other day?! Well, here are 7 Disney fonts for you pages!

My favorite is Monster’s Inc. one! I love the little eyes looking out at you. Now, I bet you want to know where you can get these (and more!)…right?! Below is where you can get each font. I hope you like them. If you make a page with them, come back and link us up in the comments!

I cannot even tell you how excited I get for Father’s Day around scrappy town. Tomorrow, is Father’s Day here in the states. A time to celebrate those wonderful men in our lives. I am surrounded by males in my life. Hardly a female in sight. So, I always look forward to the masculine kits that come out this time of the year. GS has a section dedicated to those kind of kits. You can click the image above to look around and grab what you like. I did a bit of looking around for you! Taking the hard part out of your father day kit shopping. Here are a few of what I found! (images linked)

Great kits, right?! Happy Father’s day to all the Dads out there! Take a moment to thank those men in your lives. Remember the Dads who cannot be with their families today. Happy Father’s Day!!

Today, we are going to spotlight Kirsztina. Known as Tinci throughout the scrapping world. Here are some of her lovely layouts!

Tinci’s layouts always grab my attention in the galleries. Her use of pattern paper is always spot on! She really knows how to take patterned papers and make them work! Not to mention her clustering are lovely. Everything tucked in and just in their right place. There is so much to be had from her gallery. All the images above are linked.

Creative Style | Disney Inspired

June 8, 2015 by

Hello scrappers! Today we are going to talk about a creative style. Well, not so much a creative style as a creative theme. Disney was such a huge part of my childhood. I was really limited on what I could watch. Disney fell into one of the things I could. To this day I can start quoting and singing (usually at the top of my lungs) Aladdin, The little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and the Lion King. Those were the movies from my childhood. I am in my 30s and still love them and love most all the newer movies too.

That being said, I got into digital scrapbooking for other reasons. I have found out in the past 6-7 years though that a lot of you guys got into it (and still are into) scrapping because of Disney. There are a lot of copyrite issues when it comes to Disney. So, I am here to show you just a little (and it is actually quite a lot!) of the Disney inspired products that is in the GingerScraps store. There are so many more items that I am not going to show you. You can find these, and the rest, by searching for them. Get ready to be blown away! (all images linked to the store).

Silly, Willy, Nilly is a whimsical kit perfect for scrapping a magical vacation breakfast, your child’s favorite bedtime story, friendships, new beginnings and so much more. By LJS Designs

Sprinkle some fairy dust on your layouts with Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust! With its beautiful bright colors and plenty of magical elements, this is the perfect collection for scrapping your sweet little Fairy Princess pictures, your visits to Pixie Hollow, your Tink magic shots, and so much more!

Inspired by the popular story of Frozen, Ice Sisters is a fantastic collection filled with ice, snow, glitter, snowflakes and beautiful winter-themed patterns, that will add a magical touch to your princess and winter layouts and all your Frozen projects, such as party invites, favors, cards, and so much more!

Meeting princesses while on a magical dream vacation. Halloween fun princess style. I know & have pictures of all these fun moments and if you have a little girl, I bet you will too. Magical Princess Party 2 is part of a collection of princess kits. There are 3 more princess kits. By Clever Monkey Graphics

Change Your Fate is an homage to a new breed of “magical” cartoon princess… one who is strong and brave, who chooses to buck tradition and forge her own path. This collection is perfect for pages about pursuing your dreams, changing your own fate, being brave, and writing your own story. by Trixie Scraps & Britt-ish Designs

I am telling you, there are so many more Disney inspired goods in the store. I had to trim down my list! This has me so excited. I say often that I need more princesses in my life. I am surrounded by little boys. I am going to have to find something to scrap with these lovely items!!

We would love to see what you scrap with them. Have a Disney inspired layout using one of GS items? Make sure to upload it to the gallery and come back and link us up!
