Fresh Baked: May 01, 2012

It’s May 1st. Really. I promise. I’m telling you the truth. Can you believe it? What happened to April? We’re one-fifth of the way through twenty-twelve already. What sort of insanity is that?

There’s a lot of information and goodies to share with you today! I’m excited about everything. SO much is going to be happening! The Gingerbread Ladies outdid themselves, I’m telling you!

The first bit of news? Do you know what next weekend? It’s NSD!! National Scrapbooking Day is something we digital scrapbookers look forward to for so long. Or is that just me? Well, Gingerscraps has some amazing things planned for it!

The designers are hosting everything, and they’re pulling out all the stops!

Photobucket

70% off sale on Thursday and 50% Friday through Sunday. Some restrictions apply.

Photobucket

Every other hour, a speed scrap or chat will be going on. That means everyone will have a chance to join in on something!

Photobucket

Persnickety Prints has the best printing services around, and they’re getting into the swing of things for NSD, too, with amazing sales. I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll take advantage of this deal!!

Photobucket

The bake sale is going on now! Go! You have until the 5th of May to take advantage of some amazing $1 deals!! You never know what you’ll find on sale.

Also, just a quick note: the Bake Sale and May Buffet items are not going to be included in the 70% and 50% off sales for NSD.

Time for a new buffet. April Showers bring May Flowers, usually, but instead, at Gingerscraps, May isn’t about the flowers. No, we’re all about the babies. This buffet is perfect for all those baby-related layouts. There are also items related to adoption, so it’s perfect for all of those layouts, as well. May is also synonymous with Mother’s Day. Flowers, cards, and love. These kit pieces speak of all of that. Even the pet mommas need some extra loving this time of year. Why not share that with someone you love?

Photobucket

The Gingerscraps designers really out-did themselves this month with some great mini kits, and they all coordinate so perfectly. There’s something perfect there for everyone!

Photobucket

The Gingerscraps CT had a blast playing with the kits. The layouts are just spectacular.

Remember, when you spend $10 at the store, you get an amazing grab bag. May’s was created by the talented Pretty in Green.

Some big news concerning our April Guest, Find Your Bliss Designs. She’s staying! It’s been wonderful seeing her designs in the store, and I’m happy that she has decided to make Gingerscraps a more permanent home!

Now, it’s time to introduce May’s Guest Designer. You might have seen some of her collab designs in the store with other designers. We’re so excited to announce that our guest designer is

Jen C. Designs

We asked Jen for a little bio, and this is what she told us:

Hi all! My name is Jen. I live in Belfast in the UK. I’ve been married for almost 6 years and we have two beautiful children – Luke and Charlotte. When not digi designing, I work as a web marketer and graphic designer for two local companies. Oh – and of course, playing with my kids! I stumbled into digi scrapping 2 years ago when I was on maternity leave and designing blogs for friends. I started on my first creative team shortly after and designing soon after that! I absolutely love it! I’m inspired by everything from interior decorating magazines to song lyrics, a photo of my kids to suggestions from my fans and creative team. If you ever have a suggestion for a kit or template idea, just let me know!

I can’t wait to get to know her better! And to see her designs, of course!

Here are a few that are in her store right now:

Weekly Wrap-up: April 29, 2012

Oh holy … wow. Is it really 2 days until April is over? :O

A week from now, we’ll be nearing the end of NSD. Did you know that Gingerscraps has a whole lot of stuff planned?

Oh wow. Right? I know! I’m excited. I’ll be there Friday, and a chunk of Sunday, if I don’t die. I’m going Girl Scouting with my daughter’s troop 😀

Now, on to the haps here at Gingerscraps:

  • Barb asked “What’s Stressing you?”. The biggest common one is money, it seems. Everyone’s worried about it. I hate seeing friends and ones I care about stressing. 🙁
  • Wendy claims her daughter is a brat, but in a good way. She commented that she wanted more pictures and journaling. The topic went off a little from the original idea with how to get kids to give good faces and the like for layouts. Pictures are included, hehe

Even though it’s close to the end of the month, there’s still a chance to do a challenge or two! Earn some points towards some kits and things!

Other news: Mystery Designer has ended. It was a lot of work behind the scenes, and Shannon was just so much better at having all of that under control!

This week, the forum was full of chatter. There were several new topics started, nearly every day. I loved it! I love seeing our forum getting active!!

I hope we see you for NSD starting on Friday!!

If any of you are new to Scrapping, National Scrapbooking Day (NSD for short) is an event we look forward to all year long! It started out as one day, but grew into a whole WEEKEND! You will want to cook some meals ahead, find a baby sitter, and plan on being on your computer from dusk till dawn. The Gingerscraps Designers have some big plans for NSD weekend. May 4-6th are the official dates of the festivities…. but…. shhh I will let you in on a little secret, you will want to make sure you check in bit early 😉
