Wow. I don’t know about you, but iDSD just about wiped me out! It was so much fun, though, wasn’t it?

Well, the fun continues today, because we at Gingerscraps are pleased, and excited, to announce the opening of a new designer: Matilda Designs!

As always, we ask our new designers to share with us a little about themselves. Here’s what Valerie had to say:

I’m Valérie, and my designer name (Matilda designs) is inspired in my little girl’s name. 😉
I’m a 30 something years old, I was born and raised in France but I live in Northern Portugal for many years now with my husband and my 3 yo little princess. I love everything about arts and crafts in general.
I discovered paper scrap back in 2006, and its digital version in 2008. I immediately fell in love with this digital art (and I knew right away I was one step away from designing!), but due to professional reasons I couldn’t start right away… So, I started to scrap in 2009/2010 after my girl was born, and I rapidly started to participate in collaborative kits in the forums as I was too curious about the way designers created their kits. I started selling my products 1 year and a half ago, and now, here I am, with this fabulous family at GS!!

AWW! I love that she’s already seeing us as family here at Gingerscraps. What could be better?

She has some great designs, and here are just a few of them that she has available:

Now that you’ve seen some irresistible designs, you might be interested in hearing that she’s also having a sale!

Oh wow! How great, right? Go! Why are you still looking at this? Go shop!

See you Friday!

I have so much to be grateful for right now that I can’t even begin to explain it! So much good stuff is going on. iDSD has officially begun, and the sales are amazing. Today, I get to show you the grab bags the designers have put together for it! We also have a new designer joining our team! Sandy Pie Creations!

Before I do, though, I have to show off a few of the layouts that have been created using the newest buffet, Attitude of Gratitude. It was so hard to limit myself to just three this week! There are so many great ones to choose from!

Created by brenian4ever. I love the use of just two colors. The treatment of the photos makes it even better!

Created by beckyroy. I love the big use of the stamped title. And the adding of the same title in the tab really makes the layout work so beautifully.

Created by beckyroy. I swear, I didn’t know I chose the same person twice. I was only looking at the layouts. I just loved the “Brudder” part. It really made the layout speak to me, in a fashion.

Don’t forget about iDSD!! There’s a LOT going on!

The sale has been extended to the 9th, so that those affected by Sandy are able to get their power back. Our thoughts and prayers are with the NE of the United States at this time, hoping for a fast recovery to a normalcy.

The bake sale is still going on, as well. Oh goodness.

Now I get to share with your our newest designer!!

Hi, my name is Sandy. I grew up an Air Force brat mostly in the midwest, but went to 7 different elementary schools. I married an Air Force guy and a few years ago we finally left military life and beautiful Las Vegas to settle down as close to family as we could get, and ended up in Northern Minnesota, only a 8 hour drive from “home”. When I’m not scrapbooking (!) I am a SAHM to two boys, 13 & 9, and blushing bride to my dear Hubs of 7 years. And a Pinterest and Ancestory.com addict. We’re a house full of animal lovers with 3 cats and 1 really large dog, who oddly enough thinks he’s a cat, a 128 pound cat!
I have been scrapbooking for what seems like forever, most collecting memorabilia and paper scrap supplies, but I have paper commitment issues so I didn’t get many pages done. (I have the same problem with fabric and planning the quilts I will “make” with them.) I found digi scrap a few years ago and found I could use the graphics manipulation skills I’d learned working as an engraver in an awards, trophy and framing shop to create fun 3-d projects and cards with digital designs I could reuse again and again. (My favorite part!) After some encouragement from a couple of designers I CT for, I started selling my hybrid designs a few months ago. And now I’m at Ginger Scraps, and in fantastic company.

If you couldn’t tell, she’s a hybrid designer. With Julie on a leave of absence, we’ve been short a hybrid designer! I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us! For now, she has one new item for us to play with.
