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!

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!

$1 Bake Sale, New Monthly Buffet and Guest Designer 3/1
March 1, 2011 by
It is finally Tuesday! You have no idea how many times I wanted to send out a special newsletter to just spill the news early. I don’t think Ginger would have liked that…although I’m sure you would have! So now it is time to tell you all the news I’ve been bursting at the seam to tell you. I’m not sure where to start though. Do you want to hear about the guest designer? What about our sales? Maybe the daily download? We even have a special offer if you spend $10 or more in the store. Do you see my dilemma? What do you think? Where do I start?
Let’s start with our guest designer. This is just TOO big not to tell you first. I mean REAL big. So….our guest designer….is the one….the only….the amazing….
CONNIE PRINCE!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, I said it…THE Connie Prince is guesting with us this month. I told you this was big!!
I can’t tell you how very excited we are to have Connie with us for the month. Let me share with you the few places you can follow her this way you never have to worry about losing her!!
Facebook Twitter Blog Newsletter Store
We wanted you to learn more about her and asked for a bio from her. This is what she had to say:
Hi everyone, I’m Connie Prince and happy to be a March GingerScraps guest designer! I’m married to William (almost 15 years) and we have one son, Hayden, who is 13 years old. I am a native Georgian and I live just west of Atlanta in what I affectionately refer to as the sticks! We love country living and enjoy hiking the miles of trails behind our home where we spot occasional wild life like deer and wild turkey. I’m a full-time work from home designer and I love to scrapbook as well. Most of my other hobbies have been “consumed” by my love of all things scrap, but I do occasionally still find time to curl up with a good book and I love to watch tv in the evenings as I wind down from my day. Thanks so much for having me at Ginger Scraps this month, I really enjoy getting to know you and the entire community even better!
Isn’t she just the best? Would you like to see some of her kits that she has here at GingerScraps? Here they are!

Aren’t they great? She has a bunch more in her store to make sure you get them too!!
Now time to talk about other things going on here. Did you know that if you spend $10 in the store you will get a free grab bag by Wyld Web Designs? Just add $10 worth of items to your cart and this $11 grab bag will be added in your cart for free!!!
Isn’t that great!! Let’s see, what else! OH! Today is the 1st! You know what that means, right? It means it is time once again for the $1 Bake Sale! We have so many goodies for just $1 today only. Before I show you the $1 kits, let’s talk about our Monthly Buffet. In case you missed last month’s buffet and have no idea what I’m talking about – it is an all you can eat (or scrap) buffet. Each month the GingerBread Ladies will be given a color palette and theme. They will create delicious goodies just for you!! You can then mix and match all you want! Think about it as a way to customize your own Mega Collab – “eat” as little or as much as you want!
This month’s theme is GingerScraps Pet Shop! Here is what the designers came up with.
Oh yes, we have that many!!!! Each piece will be $2 normally, but today they are only $1 so grab them today! Want to see what else is only $1 today? Here are just a few!
This is definitely turning out to be a packed newsletter, huh? I just have 1 more thing to tell you and then you can go back to your day. Today is the 1st day for March’s Daily Download – Did I mention that Ellie Lash made it? I didn’t? Well she did!! Here is a sneak peek for you – and you can find it on the blog
I lied, I know, it is a bad habit, but I just heard some exciting news! Daphadilly Art is hosting a special chat tonight! At 9:30 pm EST she will be teaching you how to make a Multi Linking Siggie!! How awesome would it be to one of the few that know how to make one? Make sure you join her!
Have a great rest of the week and I will see you back here on Friday!
