Fresh Baked! 3/11
March 11, 2011 by
Hi…no that doesn’t sound right. Happy Friday..no, that is over-used. Gosh, I can’t figure out how to start this newsletter anymore. Maybe I’ll just jump right in and tell you what my plans are this weekend. There is a reason for it so you’ll just have to suffer through my long boring plans…hehe. Actually we have exciting plans. We are going to be painting the boys’ bedroom. My oldest wanted the room to be red. Yeah, his favorite color. My middle son wanted green. They all finally agreed on blue. That is all well and good but do you know how many different shades of blue there are? Too many. Finally we agreed, something called Summer Splash.
You are probably wondering where all of this is going. Well, painting is going on because we are feeling the spring cleaning itch. The designers here at GingerScraps are feeing the same way. They have decided to clean out their stores to make room for some great new items What does that mean for you? It means a great sale! Oh that’s right SALE! We are talking at least 50% OFF! Tons will be more then that!!
Speaking of spring cleaning, Creations by Julie has decided it is time to make her team bigger!! Now is your chance to join! Hurry while you can!
Now it is time to show you our new releases! Make sure you are sitting. There are just TONS of new products for you!!! Remember if you spend $10 in the store, you get this incredible grab bag by Wyld Web Designs.
First up will be our guest – the one and only Connie Prince!!
She created Glorious with anticipation that spring will be here again (soon I hope) and that when it arrives it will be glorious! Connie hopes that it helps you capture a bit of the spring hope as well.

March Daily Download #11

Here’s Day 11 for this awesome kit from Ellie Lash:
Have a great Friday!!!
Let’s Get Crafty, St Patty’s Style!
March 10, 2011 by
Hello friends in digiland! Steph AKA ScrappyCocoa here. I have taken over the blog for today!! Lucky Julie gets the day off! Today I am going to show you how to make a simple and quick St. Patrick’s day wreath. Here is what we are making-
Ok lets get started! You will need a wreath- I found mine at the Dollar Store- some fabric to wrap around the wreath- I love to shop the remnants at JoAnn’s for projects just like this, 3 sheets of green colored felt, scissors, hot glue and gems{also found in the Dollar section at JoAnn’s.
Next cut a long strip of fabric. Grab your hot glue, dab a piece on the wreath {be generous here, you don’t want your fabric coming unraveled} And begin twisting and wrapping your fabric around the wreath, like so-
Continue wrapping until you have covered the whole wreath. This will probably take several strips of fabric. Just remember to use plenty of glue when gluing the end of a strip down. Next grab your felt. Time for flowers! Cut several circles in 3 different sizes. It doesn’t matter if your circles aren’t perfect.
I used dark green for my large circles, kelly green for my medium circles and lime green for my small circles.
Now we are going to burn the edges of the felt. This step could be left out, but I personally like the look of burned edges. Hold your circle with the thumb in the middle. Gently burn the edge with a lighter. Careful, not to much, you don’t want to set your circle on fire!
When you are done your circle should look like this-
Now it’s time to assemble the flowers. Start with a large flower then a medium and end with a small. You could sew or glue these together. If gluing, just just a tiny dab of hot glue between circles because it soaks easily through the felt. Once put together add a gem or button of some sorts into the center of the flower.
And now for the hard part! Ok not really, but I always have trouble deciding how I want to arrange my flowers on my wreath. I think it is the easiest if you prop your wreath up on something to play around. Too bad I cant do it in PS with layers and all that!
I decided that my wreath needed more flowers, so I made a few more with just lime green that were just small in size. Glue them on with plenty of hot glue. And we have a wreath!
And here is my whole little St Patrick’s day shelf-
I made the subway art, then vases from the dollar store filled with candy and a white plate from the dollar store and vinyl decal from HERE. Hope you enjoyed this tut! Go out and make your own St Patrick’s day wreath!

Challenge Spotlight – New Batch
March 7, 2011 by
March is here and I am sooooo ready for spring! My husband even put up our new trampoline that we got for Christmas. And then of course it snowed. *sigh* Oh well March comes in like a lion they say. . .
So crinkletoast was our only entry for last weeks super easy challenge. So she is our not so random winner with her My Little Sweetheart LO. Oh so sweet it is too. Beautiful clustering with that fabulous formerly free kit (That’s quality alliteration right there folks. 🙂 ) Here’s what she won, just in case you were wondering. 🙂
Super so onto this weeks Challenge Spotlight! It’s getting close to spring cleaning time! Why not go through some of your old layouts and clean them up too? This month prettyingreen is running the New Batch challenge this is a LO makeover challenge. You know when you first started digital scrapping, you had no ideas how to manipulate those shadows, or that you don’t really need the pictures THAT BIG on a 12×12. Maybe your clustering skills have improved a great deal, or perhaps the kits you have now are just SO much better than when you first started. Whatever the reason, find you an old LO and rework that baby.
Here’s some from prettyingreen:

After!
before
After!
What an improvement! You can see that she’s gotten better with experience, how about you? Give the March Make Over a try.
Then post the link to your LO in the gallery and post it in a comment here. Next week I’ll randomly select one and that person will win a prize from ME! (Harmonystar).
CT & those who have already done a LO with this kit are elligable. Let me see those comments!
