Let’s Celebrate Veterans Day!

November 11, 2017 by

Today is Veteran’s Day here in the states. What is Veteran’s Day?

In the USA it is observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I.

Veterans deserved to be celebrated!! Not just celebrated, but scrapped! Here at GingerScraps there is a great amount of digital scrapbooking supplies to scrap the Military folks in your life. There is an entire section dedicated to all things military.  With that in mind, I am going to show you some great items from our store that will help you scrap those Veterans in your life! (images are linked to their counterpart in the store.)

 

 

 

Welcome Home Soldier is an amazing collection. This collection is great for photos of your Soldier coming home, 4th of July celebrations, or anything Military or U.S.A themed! This collection can also work for other things as well! Packed full of so many gorgeous papers, elements and more! This collection will not disappoint!

 

You don’t have to be in the military to know what they do for us. You don’t have to have family in the military to know they protect our way of life. Celebrate American heroes with this fantastic kit that includes all five branches of the US military (Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines and Air Force)! It’s also perfect for any kind of all-American fun, patriotic events and so much more! All branches contain both boy and girl characters. The color palette includes red, yellow, greens, blues, browns and white.

 

Few things are more important then the brave men and women that defend and protect our great nation. This collab is perfect to preserve all the memories of Our Troops.

 

Celebrate all your American Heroes with this super versatile, military-themed digital scrapbooking collection from Trixie Scraps Designs. Whether you have Army, Air Force, Marine or Navy photos to scrapbook, American Heroes has got it covered! There’s also plenty of red, white and blue, making this kit perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and other patriotic pages, too.

 

People of the Armed Forces are simply the best, they serve their country with pride. They are brave, loyal, honorable and strong. They make us proud in every way, they are our heroes!

 

Most of these items shown to day lean towards the American side of the military. I think there is plenty though to scrap the other military members of the family (or yourself!) from other parts of the world. If you don’t find what you are looking for in today’s post, make sure to check out that section mentioned earlier in the post. There is more where this came from!

I would like to close today’s blog post with a “thank you!” Thank you to our active members of the military and our veterans! We know that our way of life is thanks to your sacrifice! I am sure that some of our fellow scrappers here at GingerScraps are veterans. I know a lot of us have family that is serving or has served as well. Thank you all for your sacrifices as well.

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Let’s Celebrate – Being Sick!

November 4, 2017 by

Well, let’s not actually celebrate it. Being sick stinks! I had the flu this past week. Man-oh-man! I am 34 years old and never had the flu before. I am usually a trooper when sick. Do all the mom things! No extra sleep! Take some pills and keep moving! Not with the flu. I was out of commission for days!! That did get me to thinking though. Sometimes even those yucky and sick moments need to be scrapped. Our designers here at GingerScraps has just what you need to scrap them too!

Little ones always seem to have boo-boos and owies. I wanted a kit that had child friendly colors, reflecting how the children’s hospitals work hard to make it as pleasant as possible for the children who have to be there.

 

Doctor Visit is a collaboration between Tracey Monette and Alissa Jones. Together we’ve created for you a great kit to cover everything from boo boo’s that Dr. Mom kisses and makes better to visits to the doctor or even the emergency room & hospital!

 

Angels Among Us is in honor of all the men and women, doctors and nurses, who help us (and our loved ones) each and every day. They are never given nearly as much credit as they are due. They are truly .. “angels among us”.

 

We all experience sick days from time to time. This kit is for layouts that capture your loved ones during these stressful times. Whether it be a simple cold, chicken pox, a broken bone or an ongoing condition.

 

 

This medical-themed kit is filled with everything you could need for all sorts of health projects. From injuries and emergencies to sickness and surgeries, this kit has you covered. It’s also perfect for celebrating the doctors, nurses and veterinarians in your life. And even better, it includes animal-themed elements as well! The color palette includes white, rose red, mustard yellow, blue, green, orange and tan.

 

Everyone at some point in time, has those not feeling great days, and this Under The Weather Kit is a super choice to scrap pages of a few of those moments. Whether it is an “oopsy” accident that can be cured with lots of hugs and kisses (and maybe an ice pack or band-aid), or something more serious that requires a trip to the emergency room or a hospital stay, this kit will have you covered.

 

NOTE: Check your stash because this was part of the February 2017 Daily Download

 

It is great for your sick little ones, whether it be a scrape on the knee or a lengthy stay at the hospital. It’s full of fun unique elements for just such occasions.

 

Been sick? Been hurt? Helped heal someone? Then this is the collection for you! DOCTOR ON CALL is for all of your medical photos – and if you’re like me, you totally have photos for this!

Well, that is about all my post flu self can handle. I am going to snuggle back up in bed. Happy Scrapping!

Creative Style : Scrapping with Orange

October 21, 2017 by

Hello scrappers. Today we are going to take a look at a creative style. Well, let me honest. It isn’t really a style so much as getting some inspiration from color.

There are many things that can make a layout stand out in the gallery. What grabs one person’s attention might not grab another’s. I could write multiple blog posts about what grabs mine. That being said, seeing a layout that has predominantly one color always grabs my attention. I originally picked this color because I felt like it was the most neglected of colors in the digital scrapbooking world. Except for one time of the year. Plus I am not overly a fan of it. Boy was I wrong! I think as far as Creative Style Color blog post, this was the most difficult. Not for what I thought…because it was so difficult to narrow down the huge selection GingerScraps’ store has to offer. Here we go…Let us get some inspiration from the color orange.

We are going to take a look at some pretty orange images, and the latest orange filled goodies from the store. If those do not do it for you, make sure you check out past Buffets!  A lot of those have orange all through them! As you can see from the list below… We like orange around here!

Buffet’s with Orange

Photo Inspiration

Now, here are some lovely images to get those creative juices flowing. Did you know there was a place you could get pretty nice stock photos for free? These images are from Pexels. (All photos on Pexels are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. This means the pictures are completely free to be used for any legal purpose.) I use them on my personal blog. I thought I would share with you guys while we get some inspiration for scrapping with orange.

From the Store

Are these not some great photos! I especially like the last one. I will leave you with some great designs to get those orange filled layouts scrapped. As usual, all images are linked to their counterpart. We actually have an entire location in the store just for orange items.

As you can see, I had a difficult time narrowing down the items to show you all. Normally I go with a nice round number of 10. I couldn’t stop! There are SO many goodies in the store brimming with the color orange. You might have also noticed there are not any Halloween items in today’s post. Check back next week for those!

It is that time of the year again where I live. All things scary, orange and black are coming out. Personally Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays!

For today…”Something Wicked This Way Comes!”….As the title suggests, we are going to be looking at Halloween Fonts!! All these are free and guaranteed fun!

Good morning GingerScrap’s scrappers! I don’t know about you, but here in the southern part of the States, it is starting to look a lot like Autumn! It is my favorite time of the year. From cooler weather, changing colors, holidays, and pumpkins. All these things make this season the best! We should of course scrap it, right? Never fear. GingerScraps has so much to offer when it comes to scrapping seasons. Autumn is no exception. There is even a whole category dedicated to it. Today, we are going to take a look at just a few of those items. Get ready for all things Autumn! (items linked to the store).

Crunching leaves beneath your feet… cool, crisp air swirling around… I love Autumn! This Harvest Sunrise Kit has deep colors and beautiful elements that will be perfect for your harvest memories.

Fall Fun – Kit by Connie Prince.

 

 

Nothing shouts autumn more than the myriad of colorful leaves that coat the ground each fall. I love the crack and crackle of them as I walk along in the parks and my yard.

 

Autumn Splendour – Digital Scrapbooking Kit by Ponytails Designs It’s the time of year that everything around you turns from verdant greens to the brilliant colours of autumn. Crisp, foggy mornings and warm, golden afternoons… simply splendid!

 

This pumpkin spice themed kit from Joyful Expressions is full of fall fixings that you can use to bake up fantastic fall scrapbooking pages.

 

You blink and it’s suddenly September. Celebrate the joy of the seasons changing, air cooling, and leaves getting ready to fall with My Life… September. The latest installment in the series draws on the rich hues of autumn to perfectly complement this moment in time. Featured motifs include woodland creatures like squirrels, owls, and birds; changing leaves, acorns, and scarecrows; vintage ephemera, butterflies, and flowers. This kit has everything you need to streamline your scrapping too, including perfectly coordinated patterned papers, thematic word strips, and a full alpha. With so much jammed into this kit, you can spend less time searching your stash and more time scrapping.

As you can see, not everything is about pumpkins. There is such a great variety of goods to scrap your Autumn pages. Make sure you check out these past Buffets!  There is so much more autumn goodness to be had. I will link those up for you here to help out.

Let’s Celebrate Grandparents!

September 9, 2017 by

Tomorrow is Grandparent’s Day here in the state. Let’s be honest though…they deserve celebrating more than just the one day! I can personally say that a lot of who I am today is thanks to the amazing grandmother I had in my life. She is one of my most favorite things to scrap. Which got me to thinking. With that holiday just around the corner, we should showcase some of the great items we have in the store here at GingerScraps to do just that…celebrate our grandparents.

There isn’t a specific section dedicated to just this in the store. However, there is a section for family inspired digital scrapbooking items. That is where I found most of these items. You can view that section HERE if you like. All the images below are linked to their counterpart in the store.

Here are some items that are specifically for grandparents:

 

 

 

Here are a few more items that are not totally for grandparents. However they all are wonderful for scrapping the Grands in our lives (and more!):

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of these items above are geared toward women and Grandmothers. Don’t get me wrong. I am surrounded by males in my life; and they get scrapped surrounded by the typical female colors often! That being said, here are a few items geared towards the men and Grandpa’s!

Happy Saturday everyone! Since you all seemed to really enjoy the last free fonts we found for you, I thought we would do another edition this week. There is a theme to this week’s fun and free fonts we found you. Pop Culture! I thought it would be a fun twist.  So here they are. (links below the image)

I have a 9 year old son who is basically obsessed with all of these. Well, Harry P was for me if I am being honest. 🙂 I had all of these in my font stash already. We would love to see your layouts made with these fonts. Make sure to upload them to the gallery and come back and link us up in the comments.

Check back next Saturday. We will be showcasing some fun Pop Culture digital scrapbooking supplies to go along with these fonts. I also have more of these fun pop culture fonts in my stash. I will be back in the future with some more.
