Happy Tuesday, ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend and y’all’s week is off to a good start! (Is it weird that I used a slang word like y’all, but still punctuated it properly??) The weekend was a long one for me and I’m already ready for the next one! I was busy the whole time, but I did get some scrapping done! Speaking of scrapping (and getting back on topic), this week I am spotlighting another wonderful challenge: the word art challenge hosted by the amazing Susie of Psychozoe Designs!
Let’s see the gorgeous WA Susie created for us to work with this month:
Unique, upbeat–so very Psychozoe! hehe
This WA is really cool and the fabulous ladies in the forum did not disappoint with their sweet creative skills this month! If you need some inspiration to complete this challenge, look no further!

Beautiful, beautiful work! I love how all three of these LOs use the same word art in totally different ways through completely different techniques. Now that’s talent!
Now it’s YOUR turn! Of course, the June word art challenge is going on through the end of June. To get the WA freebie, just hop over to the forum for instructions and you can get to scrapping!
As always, I want to remind you to get credit for the challenges, you need to head over to the June Challenge Points Tracking thread and post with your LO links so we can get you that discount code or gift certificate! Also, any questions about this or any of our challenges should be directed to the Cookie Jar so a groovy GingerScraps lady can help you! Note: if you want to see your layout highlighted here on the blog, don’t forget to play along with the challenges and post your LOs in the threads! I pick three scraps a week to show off; yours could be up here next week! 🙂
That’s it for this post! Have a great rest of your week and see you in the forums! <3

Weekly Wrap-up: Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Sunday Morning to YOU!
And a very happy Father’s Day to all the daddy’s out there! Young, old and gone from us but never forgotten! A friend of mine posted this on Facebook this morning, “Blood relations don’t make you a Dad… love does.” So let’s not forget all the step fathers, foster dads and adoptive daddies out there too!
I can’t wait to see the new Father/Dad inspired layouts that are sure to pop up in the gallery in the next couple days (I know I’ve got one in the works myself!)! For today though, I hope you’re all spending time with family! With that said, I’ve got a date with my little guy today (Daddy is out of the country on business, so we’re going out to play!) which means we’re going to have a short but sweet weekly wrap-up!
So, let’s get to the good stuff yeah? How about a sale?! Amy Peck- Unforgettable Moments is have a store-wide sale in honor of her son’s third birthday! I’d say birthday’s are an excellent time to celebrate with a sale! Unforgettable Moments ENTIRE store is 30% off from now until June 22nd!
How about ANOTHER sale!? Don’t thank ME (but you can, if you want), thank Sophie of Keep In Touch Designs! She’s put her WHOLE store on sale for 50% OFF! Her reason? “Because of Father’s day, because the sun is back in my garden, because I’m happy” That’s good enough for me!
Have you been reading this month’s book club book? I know I’m totally behind and if you are too we’ve got a little more than a week to get our reading done in time for the chat! Haven’t started at all and want to join in still? Check out the thread for June’s read: The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. Otherwise get ready, because June 28th is our monthly book chat hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps!
If you can’t make the chat, do not hesitate to participate in our discussion thread! If you’re already ready for NEXT month’s book, the polls have been closed and the book chosen! Our read for July is Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
Sales, books and? I think that’s all I’ve got for you today! Told ya, short and sweet! Again, I hope everyone has a perfect Sunday full of love and family and a wee bit a scrapping! 😉

It’s almost summer! Summer officially starts June 20th in this hemisphere. That’s less than a week from now! I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for all those summer activities to start. Do you have any big plans? This week, the designers have definitely had summer on their minds. Spending time with family, playing in the dirt, getting fit, all of that good stuff!
Before I give you the amazing kits that the designers have cooked up, we have some sales we want to share with you.
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Unforgettable-Moments/
Roseytoes is also having a sale! 50% off most items, collab kits are $5, bundles are $8!
Don’t go just yet! There’s still some amazing kits to come!
Remember, when you spend $10 at the store, you receive an amazing grab bag. This month’s grab bag is by Unforgettable Moments. It’s perfect for the males in your life! June is the month of Father’s Day (at least in the States), so this would completely suit a hybrid project or layout for the special man in your life!
