Good Morning, Scrappers!

It’s Thursday morning once again!  I can’t believe it is here! It’s that time when I get to create a ton of anticipation here on the blog! And boy oh boy, will there be anticipation when you see these sneak peeks!!! I get so excited when I get to see what’s cookin’ around here and get to share those scrumptious morsels with you!!

Hey! Did you notice that this Friday is going to be Friday the 13th?! That’s right! It is! But you won’t have any bad luck while at Gingerscraps! I promise! There’s only good luck, good people, good friends, and good stuff going on here in the Gingerscraps forum, and a bunch of  great designers who continue to rock the digi  world with their amazing awesomeness!! So if you need a bit of goodness on what many think is a dreadful day, come on over! A visit to Gingerscraps will surely be the best part of your Friday the 13th!!!

Ok, so let’s look at what is causing all the excitement around here.

First we have some things from LauraMarie Scraps and a few goodies from the Free With Purchase grab bag for April showcased in this layout. Don’t you love those papers and frames and toes! LOL!!! Ok, the toes don’t come with the kit, but those flowers and that cute alpha do!!!

LauraMarie Scraps is also cookin’ up this goodie for you! How fantastic is this!?! I just love the stitching, and that frame! Two of my favorite colors together, too!

When two designers get together like Find Your Bliss Designs and Psychozoe Designs, you can’t help but to anticipate awesomeness!!! I can’t wait to see more of this duo’s creation!

A new concoction coming from  from Find Your Bliss Designs with  papers and elements  in the first layout  from an older kit Hop Into Spring Collaboration by Kathy Winters Designs & Craft-tastrophic Designs which you can find in the store now.  Find Your Bliss, you are rockin’ my socks today!!!!

These new goodies below are brought to you by Inspired Designs by Crystal. Simply beautiful! Talk about anticipation! I can’t wait to see more of this!!!!

The CTs rocked the following four layouts!

Twin Mom Scraps is sure adding to the anticipation by bringing this to you…. How pretty is this!!??

I guess I have the fine art of “Not Being Able to Wait” pretty well down pat, now. Thanks, GS Designers for unleashing my anticipation today!

So pull up a mouse, get your cup of java, and sit right here, and join me in shopping for all these amazing and awesome and scrumptious goodies!!

See you at Gingerscraps, the friendliest place in the digi universe!

 I don’t think I’ve been so happy for Friday to finally come.  My kids are off from school today which means things are so much more relaxed.  I know a lot of your kids must be on vacation, our won’t be for another two weeks.   This week was just so bad that man I’ll be happy when Monday comes.  By the way, Happy Easter to you all.  I hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of chocolate.  Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, I hope you still get lots of chocolate!

I do have a present for you.  Well not really from me…but a present from Connie Prince.  She is so sweet she is having a sale just for you!

Now that I told you about her sale let’s talk about the Mystery Designer!

Have a great week!

It’s time to talk about the Mystery Designer!

Last week I showed you this sneak peek:

So….who made it?

Happy April 1st!  Look outside!  Quick!  There is a dinosaur!  He’s walking in the 4 feet of snow!  APRIL FOOLS!  I know, it wasn’t funny, but I couldn’t think of anything else.  I was afraid to joke about me leaving or even worse the store closing…that some of you would panic without reading more…I know I would have.  I have so much I want to tell you that let’s just get right down to it!

I do have some sad news though, and this isn’t an April Fools Joke – Jen Yurko will no longer be with us as a non -exclusive designer anymore.  We will sadly miss her in this role.  Good things must always come to an end and well, Jen needs to do what is best for her and her family.  She has decided that she will go…………

EXCLUSIVE here!!  Did I get you?  Maybe?  Ok, how about a sale to make it up to you?

Man that is exciting or what?  I have some more exciting news for you.

LauraMarie Scraps is going too….GOING EXCLUSIVE that is!

OH!  Let me show you our new Grab Bag!  This month’s grab bag was made by Jill DZines!  You can get it for free when you spend $10 in our store!

There are so many more incredible things going on this month. Let’s start with our bake sale!

Check out our bake sale to see all the goodies you can get for only $1!!!  This last from today until the 5th.  So make sure you get there before you miss it!  Another thing you don’t want to miss?

For today only most everything in Twin Mom Scraps’ store is $1!  Seriously!  I know right?  I swear I’m totally serious.  Don’t trust me?  Well go have a look for yourself!.

Something else that is $1 is our new Buffet!!

Totally cute right?  Well wait until you see the goodies!

Here are some inspiration for you

Gosh I have a lot of shopping to do today!  Know what else I have to do today?  I need to start reading.  Why?  For our book club of course!

Let’s see, what else did I have to tell you?  How about our April Guest?

Please help me welcome our super nice, super talented, and just overall a great person…..

FIND YOUR BLISS DESIGNS!!!

 *Facebook*  *Store*  *Blog*  *Twitter*

I asked her to tell us a little bit about herself and this is what she had to say:

 My name is Maaike, designer of Find Your Bliss Designs and I am 38, living in the Netherlands with my husband Pierre and our two sons, Damion and Quincy.(17 and 11)

I have been a paperscrapper for many years, worked in two paperscrapstores here in Holland, teached workshops, did it all…till I decided to go digi about 2 or 3 years ago and totally fell in love with it!

About a year ago I started thinking about becoming a designer, because that way I could mix up my digital creativity with my real life creations and since August 2011 , I started designing under the name Find Your Bliss Designs and I can’t imagine anything more fun than creating kits and templates!

 Here are just some of her goodies!  Make sure you check out her entire store for even more!

I’m so glad she is here with us this month!  I see great things ahead for all of you!

Speaking of great things (gosh, I’m the master of transitions) I have your new Daily Download for you!  First let me show you the March Daily Download by GingerScraps! 

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Man-Oh-Man.html

This month’s Daily Download is by Sugar Kissed Designs!!

 Make sure you check the blog daily for each link.

We have such a great month ahead of us!  I hope to see you all around the forum and I’ll definitely see you all on Friday for our new releases!  (PS – I heard a rumor that there is a freebie in Valarie Ostrom’s store….)

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the last week of March wherever you are, and that you are as excited about our fabulous Gingerscraps designers are cooking up for us this week as I am!  I am SOOO ready for some fresh springy colors and collections to add to my digi stash! With Easter right around the bend, I know I can’t have too many!  So, what are you doing for Easter, anyway?  I have two young children and we will be enjoying an egg hunt here at home, as well as one at our church. Our family will be together for a huge Easter dinner, and we will probably play outside until it gets dark, working off the feast!  I am going to try to find some ways to include some hybrid projects in our Easter celebration, too. Like cards, and egg wrapper holder things, and I don’t know what else yet. Let me know if you have some ideas for me…better yet, post them on the Gingerscraps forum!

So here’s what’s cookin’ in the kitchen and will be ready for Friday, March 30th. I hate waiting!!!!!

A beauty by Sugar Kissed Designs….

and from Joyful Heart Designs..

Looks like Friday is going to be a Beautiful Day!!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of what’s been cookin’!

So stop on by, and come see what’s new!!!  See you n the shop!
