Fresh Baked: Another New Designer

I love writing these newsletters! I love sharing that we have a new designer joining us. It makes me feel all giddy inside.

Today, we have ViolaMoni joining the squad here at Gingerscraps!

As we always do, we asked her tell us a little about herself, and this is what she had to share with us:

I’m Monica, aka ViolaMoni, 24yo, from Milan, a beautiful city in the north of Italy. I just finished my art studies at the university and now I’m looking for a job: my dream is to open my own studio, where I can teach painting and drawing to children and adults. I live with my parents and my old (17yo) dog, Chicco.
I love theatre, cinema and art in generally. I’m a creative person, I like painting, drawing, photography ….but I don’t like cooking! 😉
I hope you like my designs!

Oh, I have always wanted to go to Milan! I bet it is just absolutely GORGEOUS there!

Monica has a great sale for everyone. I love sales. I just adore them. I always buy way too much during them.

Here are just a few of the great designs that Monica has in her store:

Challenge Spotlight – Color Challenge

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday! Sorry I missed you last week, I was sick something wicked: 101 fever, body aches, chills–the whole nine yards. It’s going around, so I guess that means fall and winter are finally coming to the south, right? Yay, I’m tired of 90 degree days! I’m ready to load up the fireplace, cuddle up in my warm winter pajamas and scrap the nights away! To get you in the fall state of mind, this week I am spotlighting the color challenge hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps and she’s chosen a color palette perfect for the new season! Take a look:

I love the warm, earth tones with the pretty blues for a bit of a cool touch. This is definitely an excellent palette to get you started scrapping some of your new (or old!) fall photos. With a lovely color challenge like this, the ladies in the forum have already gone to town creating some really lovely layouts. If you want some inspiration, you’ve got it!

Fresh Baked: November 09, 2012

There is so much to be grateful for this week, at least in my home. I’m excited for the weekend. Though we’re looking at going from almost summer temps again to snow, I’m excited for a day off. Sunday is Veteran’s Day in the States, and I’m so thankful for those soldiers who gave their lives, and those that served. We’re all thankful for the families that stayed behind. They’re so much stronger than I could be!

This month’s buffet, Attitude of Gratitude, would be great for a layout showing how thankful you are for those that you love. I found a few layouts that showcased that from the gallery.


Created by hivart. I love the clustering. It’s Just perfect!


Created by nowens. I love the square blocking, with the circle frames. SO beautifully done.


Created by chigirl. I love the blocking, with the framed picture over. It’s a beautiful use of white space!

Before I start with the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released! If you do not know about our Welcome Wagon area, you should go check it out right away! Once you register in the forum, you will have access to the Welcome Wagon area.
