Weekly Wrap-Up: A new Facebook Fan Freebie!

GOOD MORNING!
All CAPS because it IS a good morning! Or should be anyway. Always start the day right, even if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Words of wisdom by… me, which I just made up right now. I admit it, I’m a little goofy right now (just right now?) but I’ve got LOTS to do today before the heat advisory kicks our butts!
So, what do I have for you? Well a couple of sales for starters! I know how much you loves sales (I know I do!)!
First up is PsychoZoe’s Retirement Sale. If you haven’t heard already, yes, you read that right, she is sadly leaving us as a designer. She’s got her entire store up for 60% OFF now until July 31st. She’s also put all her CU pieces at just $1 only!
Next sale you NEED to take advantage of is Blue Heart Scraps Vacation Celebration Sale! She’s got EVERYTHING on sale for 50% OFF until July 20th! Stellar deal!
So now while you’re in our stores, filling up your cart with these great sales, it should be no sweat getting our July Grab Bag! FREE with a purchase of $10 or more! Without any bias opinion whatsoever, I must say Roseytoes truly outdid herself with this grab bag- it is OVERFLOWING with just about everything!
Ready for some more fun? I know one of my to-do’s today is to check out another beach I discovered is just a short bit away from home! With Summer in FULL swing, finding all these water front retreats near home has been so fantastic! Where am I going with this? Making you all jealous talking about not one but two beaches just a hop skip away? WELL! Kathy Winters Designs has provided GingerScraps Facebook Fan Page with an absolutely DARLING fan freebie! It’s just beachy!
Just head on over to our Facebook page, like us (if you haven’t already!), and grab this super cute mini under the Exclusive Freebies Tab! You need MORE incentive? Well let me just tell you, this mini is a little SAMPLE of a FULL SIZE kit that Kathy has got for us! So grab it now before it hits stores!
I’m trying to think of anything else I need (and want) to (over)share 😉 with you, but coming up blank. I’ll blame my lack of coffee, since I haven’t had ANY yet today! I like to live dangerously. 😉
So with that said, I’ll leave you with a few tid bits:
Don’t forget to check out our newest Fresh Baked goodies from Friday, pretty delicious stuff right there. Make sure you’re working on your challenges! Remember the Rewards System has changed just a smidge, so check that out too. Keep your eye out for a … Fantastic! just doesn’t do it justice… but a super fantastic! event coming it’s way to GingerScraps in the very near future! Plus! You’ll see some new blog features, including some fun tutorials and way cute non-scrap (yes, NON scrap) projects that you just MUST try yourself!
Okay okay, I’ve got to stop myself while I’m ahead- otherwise I’ll just get so excited (which I already am you know) and share TOO much, TOO soon!
Off to the beach with me! Have a super scrappy Sunday!
Fresh Baked for July 13, 2012

Friday the 13th. I don’t put a lot of stock in the superstition that it’s a bad luck day. I don’t know, but this date has been good luck for me.
Today, it just gets even better! There are some gorgeous kits coming out today, that are just perfect for summer. There are a couple collabs, a chance to get a little prehistoric (hey, who’s up for a trip back in time?), and even a chance to go on a road trip. I’m ready to get my scrap on! How about you?
Before we get into the yummy new goodies, I just want to share a reminder about the retirement of PsychoZoe Designs.
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Psychozoe-Designs/
She’s an inspiring designer, and we wish her all the best. Susie, you better still be around the forum! We love all your layouts of your puppies!
She has some AMAZING prices for her items, and this is the last you’ll see of them! For example:
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Beep-Da-Beep-Robotics-Kit.html – $1.80!!
https://store.gingerscraps.net/PU-S4H-Shapes-Are-Our-Friends-Templates.html – $1.00!!
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Away-We-Go-Cards-and-Journaling.html – $0.80
Remember that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag. This month’s was created by Ryan, of Roseytoes, and it’s JAM-PACKED full of stuff.

Hello Digi Friends!
Here we are in the dog days of summer! My family is on vacation in my home town and we have met many a dog while hanging around here. We’ve met a beautiful Great Dane named Grimm at the BMX bike race, we met a tiny dog name Joe who was found a desert, and we met Henry, a bulldog down the street. It has literally been the Dog Days of summer for us! We don’t have a dog, so this has been exciting for my kids 🙂
I hope you are enjoying every bit of sunshine where you are, and all the adventures that come your way! I bet you are going to love the collections that will be in the Gingerscraps store this Friday! I sure do! These are sure to be your go to kits for scrapping all those adventures and summertime memories. I can’t wait to share them with you, so here we go!
First up is a collection of yummalicious colors and embellies from a Sugar Kissed Designs and Pretty in Green fab collab…. OMG, I just love this!!!!
And a collab from Find Your Bliss and Caroline S, we have this gorgeous collection for you. Perfect for those beachy keen photos, don’t you think?
Twin Mom Scraps has cooked up this pretty little kit, which I absolutely love and have to have! I love the florals in this!
These pretty colors rock my socks off! Joyful Heart Designs is bringing this to us this week, and I cannot WAIT to use it!! Check out this raffia ribbon, the shabby chic look of the papers and that ripped cardboard!!! Yum!!!
One last collection by Luv Ewe Designs!
Well, I for one cannot wait to hit up the Gingerscraps store this Friday for these goodies! So here I will be, tappin’ my toes, sippin my iced coffee, and waitin’ for the goodies! Pull up a mouse, sink your toes in the sand, and join me over at the Gingerscraps Forum for an awesome time while we wait!
Happy Summer, digi friends, keep on scrappin’!
