sneak peek 3-07-13

Good Morning!!

I hope everyone is doing well.  March has arrived and in my neck of the woods it brought snow.

The kids were excited about being out of school.  They enjoyed the day sipping hot chocolate and watching movies.  I enjoyed the day scrapping a little and shopping a lot..

I really love the colors together in this new kit by Inspired Designs.  Here are a few that I just LOVE!!  I can’t wait to see the entire kit on Friday. I love the black and white photo on this layout it truly is beautiful.

This is perfectly perfect.  I love the stripes in the background .  Super job:)

This layout is is adorable and I really like the photo treatment .  It really seems like any kind of pictures will be gorgeous with this kit.

I really love the cluster work and  all the layered  patterned paper looks awesome!

Angelclaud Artroom has a new release and from the look of this layout I can’t wait to see the whole package.

That’s all I have for you today.  Make sure you check back on Friday for these releases and many more and don’t forget they will be on sale.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday and I will see you next week.

Challenge Spotlight – Font Challenge

Well hey there, ladies! Happy Tuesday and welcome to March! Can you believe it’s already time for spring?! Seems like it was just Christmas and here comes St. Patrick’s Day and Easter! Sheesh. It was a bit chilly this weekend so I spent some time in scrapping. This week I am spotlighting one of my favorite challenges we do here at GingerScraps, the font challenge! This month is it hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs and she has really picked an adorable font:

I love cursive fonts and this one flows so beautifully. The font challenge is always a favorite of mine because it lends itself to all kinds of creativity without restraining too much. In other words–it’s easy! 😉 Here’s some inspiration for you!

Okay okay, yes–I spotlighted myself here BUT come on–look at that pout! 😀 I love Kristen’s ornate clustering, I wish I could cluster like that! Victoria’s layout has a beautiful vintage feel and the font is just spot on. And of course, I love that cute little girl in the last layout! 😉

So, it’s a brand new month and that means another chance to snag some really great rewards: one buffet item, two buffet items or a snazzy $5 store gift certificate! Everyone who plays along in our challenge wins something, so go start your tracking thread now in the March challenge points tracking thread! I think my goal this month will be two buffet items, but I know some ladies will be going for gold! 🙂

Okie doke gals, I’m off! Y’all have a fantastic week!

Sneak Peek 03-01-13

Good morning scrappers!  I hope your week has been going good.  I don’t know about you guys, but I’m happy that it is almost Friday.  We don’t have any big plans just a little R&R.  Our fabulous designers have been extremely busy and the CT girls have outdone themselves.  So pull up a comfy chair grab some coffee and enjoy!

The first up are these great templates by Angelclaud Artroom  I love the flow of these and how there are so many openings for your pictures.  I really like the the feel of the grungy paper by Joyful Heart Designs as well . It pairs beautifully with elements by  Neverland scraps.

(Just a Boy kit by Aprilisa Designs  which is already in the store) and it looks great with the template and the papers from Joyful Heart Designs.

I am loving the brightness of this new kit by Sugar Kissed Designs and to double it with a template by Angelclaud Artroom is perfect!

I love the little elephants and the yellow flowers just pop right off the page.  I can’t wait to get these templates by Angelclaud Artroom there are so many

possibilities with them!!

Hopefully, your excited about all the new goodies as much as I am.  Make sure to check back tomorrow to see the full review of everything.

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see ya next week!

 

 

 

 

 

Challenge Spotlight – Template Challenge #2

Hey out there in digiland, how is everyone this blustery and chilly Tuesday morning? We’re having a typical Texas weather week: 70 and sunny one day,  40 and wintery the next–no joke. Now that winter has made a comeback and it’s f-f-f-reezing outside, I’m staying in and scrapping! For this last week in February (whaaat?!), I am spotlighting another challenge with a freebie: the second template challenge hosted by Bekah of Bekah E Designs! She has come up with a simple but snazzy little template that I think you’ll Like. Take a look!

I like all the room for journaling and a nice big title! I usually gab a bunch here, but I want to get straight to the layouts completed by the ladies in the forum because they are simply outstanding this week!

By Kathryn

By sparkysgirl

Ok, where do I even start?! First, I wouldn’t even automatically assume these are all from the same template! While we can pluck out some similarities, they are all so unique and beautiful! I pretty much love everything Michelle does,  but that little picture peeking out the bottom corner is just plain adorable. Kathryn’s layout immediately struck my eye because of the glittery background that almost looks like a dimensional cut-out overlay. Lisa always does gorgeous cluster work and this page is no exception! Absolutely fabulous pages ladies, I love them all! 🙂

Don’t forget this is THE LAST WEEK of February and there’s only two more days left in the month after today! It’s a short one and all your challenge layouts need to be completed and tallied in the February Challenge Points Tracking thread by the end of the day on the 28th.  You can get yourself some nifty rewards to start March out with, so get those layouts in, girls!  If you need more info or have any questions about this or any of our monthly challenges, head over to the Cookie Jar and leave us a message. 🙂

That’s it for me for this week…and this month. Eek! See y’all in March! 🙂

LOTW Winner!

Sneak Peeks

Happy Thursday!!  I hope everyone is doing well.  I know that in my neck in the woods we are being teased with Spring like weather.  I can’t wait till it gets here for good.  My kids and I can’t wait to get outside and play.

I know there are some really cute kits coming our way.  Here are a few layouts to tease you a little.  I love the colors in this kit by Keep In Touch Designs.  The black and white photos are just stunning. The colors are so soft and delicate.   I can’t wait to see the entire kit.

I am in LOVE with the templates from Pretty In Green. The blocking technique is so clean and it really focuses your attention on the pictures.   This is a super example.  I love the small picture inside the heart element.  So, so sweet!

Make sure you check out the store on Friday so you can see all the goodies and remember that they will be on sale.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and I’ll be back next week with more beautiful goodies to share.

Challenge Spotlight – Mini Kit Challenge

Good morning, gals! I am going to jump right in! This week I will be spotlighting the mini kit challenge hosted by Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs!  Jennifer has created a lovely little mini for our challenge participants; take a look!

I just adore the coral-ish pinks and the minty green here, something a little different from all the hot pink and bright red we’ve been inundated with this month!  Of course with a freebie mini this cute, the layouts are pouring in. Take a look at a few of my favorite submissions so far for some inspiration…

By wanda

All lovely layouts! I love the vintage, faded feel of Julie’s page, that cool torn paper block on Jeannie’s layout and the cool heart cutouts on Wanda’s creation! These are all seriously awesome layouts and I like how everyone was able to change up the mini so much it’s almost as versatile as a full-sized kit. Pretty neat!  🙂

This is a short month so remember to get your challenges completed and tallied up in the February Challenge Points Tracking thread before the month is up.  There’s all kinds of great goodies waiting for you as rewards when you play along with us and keep track! 🙂 As always, if you have any questions about this or any of our monthly challenges, you can head over to the Cookie Jar and ask away! We’ll get back to you asap.

That’s it for this week; see y’all next Tuesday!  🙂

Sneak Peek

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!  I hope you all are able to spend the day with the ones you love.  It’s going to be a quiet day around here.  I’m thinking a quick trip to the gym and then I’m spending the day with my hubby.  We are going to catch an early movie and hopefully miss the crowd.  We are spending a little time with my folks which we are pretty excited about visiting with them before they leave town.  Enough about my plans let’s get to why you stopped by.   I have a few layouts  that I want to share with you.  The full reveal of these kits will be on Friday and they will also be on SALE.  And, I can’t wait!!

First up is Sugar Kissed Designs.  I love the natural hues in this kit.  The brown and peach are fabulous together and I really dig the Alpha.  The blocking in both layouts look amazing!!

The next layout I have for you is using Becka E Designs new kit.  I love the crisp blue and the white just pops right off the page. I can’t wait till Spring time.  It will be wonderful to open the windows and let the fresh air in.

Well, that’s all I have for now so I hope you have enjoyed the sneak peeks and don’t forget they will be on sale this weekend for a short while.  Thanks for stopping by and I really wish  everyone a day filled with love:)
