August Feature Designer!

Happy Monday scrappy friends!

If you didn’t know already, Theresa of Simple Girl Scraps is our August Feature Designer!

 

I’m excited to share with you more about Theresa and the extra awesome coupon she has available for everyone during the month of August.

Today we’re going to talk about Theresa’s design process, inspirations, her favorite kit and more!  Let’s just jump right in, shall we?

What is your design process?

I usually start with a color palette and work a theme from that. Sometimes I know what I will create, other times it just kind of comes together as I work on it.

What do you use to create your designs (program, addition tools, etc.)

I use CS5 and my Wacom graphics tablet mostly.

What motivates and inspires you as a designer?

I always wanted to be a designer, mostly so I could have the kind of materials I wanted to create with! But I love seeing others create with my designs, and I even have a Gallery Standouts feature on my blog!

Describe your design workplace

I’ve recently just moved into a new home – a country house on a river, but my new work space is in one area of the very long kitchen. I’m not really set up yet, but I usually have an L-shaped desk with a bulletin board and printer nearby – and of course, my pink laptop! It’s a mess right now, so I won’t share a photo, but keep watch on my blog for an update post!

What is your *favorite* kit you’ve designed and why is it your favorite?

Just Be You is my new favourite kit, but I say that about most new kits I create! It’s basic in coloring – great for my Disney photos, but it’s also a little bit messy, and a little bit vintage!

This is also one of my favorite Simple Girl Scraps kits! It’s extremely versatile, plus that crossword puzzle paper? YES PLEASE! It is currently available in Simple Girl Scraps store.

While you’re checking out all that Simple Girl Scraps has to offer, here’s a special coupon Theresa has offered for us all!

*good for one time use per customer*

Life is always interesting at Gingerscraps. This week, the variety of products coming from the designers is super fun and interesting! Grandma’s giving us a lot of fun things to find courtesy of Wendy Tunison. School is back in session with Connie Prince. Spending some time with family is what it’s all about with Created by Jill. So many goodies!

Now I get to share the August 2013 {Designer’s Choice} buffet layouts, and the monthly mix, Family Reunion, that were chosen this week!


Created by brenian4ever. I just adore the pictures!! Those big blue eyes are just gorgeous. As is the clustering.


Another created by brenian4ever. I love the photo treatment, and the clustering. The lace-effect papers just make the layout so much prettier.


Created by swastinadia. I love the big picture with the smaller picture. The font used to created the title is just an AWESOME choice!

Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag! This month’s was created by Aprilisa Designs.

Sneak Peek 8-1-13

Hi everybody!  Happy Thursday I hope everyone is doing well.  Can you believe it’s August already?  It’s crazy to me how fast time is going by.  The kids will be back in school before I know it.

I am so excited about the layouts that I have for you today.  Our designers and CT have really done a beautiful job this week.

Keystone Designs has a new kit coming that looks fantastic.  The colors and patterns work so wonderfully with colored photo’s or black and whites.

If you have boy pictures that need to be scrapped then you need to check this kit out from Created by Jill.   I really like the blocking

in this layout and I love the text path around the frame.

The colors and elements in this new kit by Wendy Tunison Designs are just outstanding. The clustering and use of patterned papers in the following pages are

super.  I’m really digging all of the clusters.  They are just lovely.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and enjoy the weekend.     I’ll see ya next week.

Good morning! Can you believe that it’s already August? Feels like the newsletter for July 01 was just getting sent out, and now we’re at the first of August. Soon, we’ll be watching

This month, there’s no official theme to the buffet. There’s a unifying color palette, and the kits play together beautifully. Enjoy the August 2013 {Designer’s Choice} buffet series this month!

We have NEW Buffet options!! You asked for it, and we listened! The GS Buffet will now included FULL size kits!! In addition to the mix and match packs, you can now also find full size kits in the buffet section. The price point has been adjusted accordingly. Everything in the Buffet will always be $4.00 and under. Every month the new Buffet items will all be 50% off (from the 1-5th of the month). That means Full kits for $2 and a ton of mix and match packs all for $1!! You will not want to miss this!

The designers all had their own take on what the colors and theme said to them! I love the variety!

Remember, if you don’t want to hear the sound, just click the button next to the play button, and it will mute it for you. The designers knocked it out of the park. The designs are just amazing and so well done! [Read more…]

Good morning! I hope you had an AMAZING July! It’s time for a new daily download, and I think you are in for a-hooting-good time.

July’s DD was created by Rachel, of Pretty in Green, and it was adorable!

I personally just ADORE the owls, and if you do, too, you’re going to LOVE August’s Daily Download. This month, it was created by Joylynn of Blue Heart Scraps, and it’s just too cute for words! But you don’t have to take my word for it!
