December 6, 2010 by
Who has their Christmas shopping done? Not me. Hopefully this week. 🙂 Well Merry Christmas to photom she won again! REally someone else should try entering sometime though I don’t think she minds. 🙂 I’m so glad you liked the paper masks from last week. Here’s something else for you!
This week I’ll be spotlighting Cami’s Dec. Recipe Challenge. She just took over the challenge and is doing a great job! The Recipe challenge gives you a “Recipe” to follow to make your page. Here’s this months recipe:
1. Use a ONE word title using a alpha
2. Use TWO different string,ribbon or stiching
3. Use THREE pictures
4. Use FOUR different papers have one at least mat the photos
5. Use FIVE different elements duplicate at least two of the element as many times as you like
And here’s here beautiful LO she did.

Brilliant isn’t it? How about giving the Dec. Recipe Challenge a try yourself? Then come back here and 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).
Bonus – I will give a Brownie point to everyone who comments with their LO link.
CT & those who have already done the challenge are elligable. Let me see those comments!

*Bake Sale* And New Guest Designer…. Mel Hains!!
December 1, 2010 by
Good morning my lovely friends!
Did you have fun hitting all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? I sure did! There were so many amazing deals- I just could not pass them up.
Now to finish your weekend of shopping- lets go out with a BANG! It is Bake Sale time!!
But wait- Before I show you the amazing Yummy Bake Sale goodies… I have some VERY exciting news!!
You all know her and love her- The one and only Mel Hains is our December Guest GingerBread Lady! This is Mels first ever guest spot. I am so honored she choose GingerScraps to venture out into the guesting role! Head over to the forum and give her some love 🙂
Lets get to know her a bit-
I am Mel from Mel Hains designs and I am TOTALLY addicted to anything scrappy! I started digiscrapping and designing rougly 3 years ago and am now selling my designs at Scrap that Idea. I am very happy to be the Guest designer for Gingerscraps for the month of December! My scrappy style changes as much as my mood does from minute to minute. At this stage I am very fond of the ‘papery’ look, but just about anything goes. I love doodles. My kits will usually have some kind of doodle somewhere, I just love them! I feel very fortunate that big name designers like Kim B, Ellie Lash and Lindsay Jane took the time to replied to my emails to them when I initially started designing, I am still crazy about their stuff! I have a 7 year old daughter named Savannah and live with my partner Damien and my two crazy cats, George and Orwell, in sunny Durban, South Africa. We also have our own photography business which is my other passion. I hope you enjoy my designs here at Gingerscraps! 🙂 My store will be 30% off for the first week, so enjoy the exclusive goodies here at Gingerscraps!
Mel has some Delicious goodies out today! Take a look-
Exclusive to Gingerscraps:
Mother, Wife. A kit for all the hard working women out there! A full kit in retro shades consisting of 14 papers, 42 elements, a full embellished alpha and a FREE add on word art pack!
