$1 Sale, New Guest, Buffet, and More! June 1,2012

Hello digi friends! I hope you are ready for some AMAZING goodies today!! Once in a while something very exciting happens….. Fresh Baked (new releases) AND all the 1st of the month reveals (Buffet, Bake Sale, our new Guest Designer) happen to land on the same day!! Do you know what that means for you!!?? One mouth watering newsletter! Packed to the brim with goodness!! We hope you enjoy every morsel.

First, let me tell you about the Bake Sale. Run over to the shop and get these goodies fast! Each month, from the 1-5th, our designers add products to the Bake Sale. Everything in the Bake Sale is $1.00!!

Also included in the $1.00 Sale is our new Buffet for June!! This month our Buffet is “Once Upon A Time“, full of magical whimsy and happily ever afters, you will not want to miss these enchanting products!


Once Upon a Time, in a land far away, where Gingerbread Men danced with joy, there was a Queen, full of whit and pip. She had many maidens, whom she could not do without …

Oh wait. Sorry, I went off into a fantasy land there for a second. I look at this adorable buffet, and I honestly cannot resist falling into a world of make-believe. I’m so totally in love with this whole series!


As you can tell, the amazing Gingerbread CT girls couldn’t resist it either. Everyone put so much wonderful work into it. It doesn’t have to be just little kid stuff, either. All of us have a dream, deep inside, of a happily ever after! Why not find yours with this amazing buffet?

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!

And now I get to tell you who our June guest is!!! Are you ready??!! Our June guest: May Sholz, of Siamese Studio! Welcome May!!

We asked May to tell us a little about herself, and she gave us some pretty good insight into her! I’m excited to get to know her better!!

My name is May and I live in Bangkok, Thailand with my hubby. We have one daughter, Janice who is four years old. I started digi-scrap while I was pregnant then started to design not so long after that. I love to design as much as I love to write. So I do both designing and writing. I write novels and had five books published, but have been hiatus from writing since my daughter was born. I’m trying hard to finish my next novel this year.
Besides of designing and writing, I also love to take pictures. Especially with my phone since I always have it with me.

Here are just a few of the kits that she has available in her store right now!

Challenge Spotlight – Font Challenge

Happy Tuesday, ladies! Hope everyone had a restful long weekend and you’re all bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to scrap! With just a couple of days left in May (OMG it’s almost June!), I’ve got one more monthly challenge to spotlight for you all. This week, I am shining a light on the May font challenge, hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps!

I am always in the market for new fonts to spruce up my layouts and this month, I just happened to be looking for some big, bold fonts for titling. Luckily, JoyLynn already found a great one for us to use in this month’s challenge: take a look!

Cute, right? I love the feel of this font and how versatile it looks. To prove the versatility, my fabulous fellow forum ladies have created some really gorg layouts using the font! It was super difficult for me to pick a few to highlight; this month the layouts for the font challenge were simply outstanding! Here a few to get your scrapping mind a’ tickin’!

Wow, wow, WOW! The layouts this month are just all KNOCKOUTS! I just can’t say enough about how talented the GS ladies are–seriously! I’d even bargain to say we have the most talented scrappers in all of digiland! 😉

But enough of my loving bragging ladies, it’s time to SCRAP! Remember: all your challenges must be completed and tallied up in the May Challenge Points Tracking thread before it’s closed on June 1 for counting. What prizes are up for grabs, you ask? How does a serious store discount coupon OR a $5 gift certificate sound? AMAZING? Yes, indeed. 🙂

There might only be a few days left in May, but that’s plenty of time for you to hunker down and churn out some layouts and earn yourself a treat! If you have any questions on this or any of our other monthly challenges, head over to the Cookie Jar and ask away. We got loads of smart cookies just waiting to help you!

I’m off for now ladies; have a wonderful rest of your week and see you all next month! 😀

LOTW Winner – Week ending 5/19

Congratulations to sparkysgirl for winning LOTW! I love the out of bounds photo and the cute little recipe in her LO.  Very creative LO! Click the image to leave her some love or click here to view her entire amazing Gingerscraps Gallery.

You can pick outstanding gallery layouts which become the next LOTW nominee’s by posting in the “Baker’s Best” thread. Check out the rules here.

As always your vote counts so head over the the forum to vote for the next LOTW winner. You can be a LOTW winner too, all you have to do is scrap! Happy Scrapping.

Weekly Wrap-Up

Good Morning! Can you believe it’s nearly June! Crazy how time is just FLYING by! We’ve still got one week left in May to complete those challenges while getting excited for the June Buffet (as well you should be! 😉 ).

For anyone who’s got school aged children they must be now out of school for the summer or even graduated and are out of school forever! Need some inspiration to finish up those last few challenges? Just take a peek at all those photos you snapped during the last day of school!

This weekend is an extended one (for us here in the United States!), as BBQ holiday, pools open, though it’s not officially the first day of summer, everyone celebrates it as such- but let us not forget the real reason we’re celebrating Memorial Day(US). Take a moment and really think hard about the lives that fight for your freedom, the lives lost for your freedom. If you see a soldier, thank them for their sacrifice(s). Let them know that you’re grateful for their service.

After that, BBQ away! There are a couple great BBQ kits in the store to scrap your weekend photos;

While you’re in the store, make sure to stop by Statements By Jodi, she’s having her retirement sale: 75% off her entire store until May 31st!

The last thing I want to remind everyone of is the Sugar Cookie Call still in effect! Find yourself in Gallery more than anywhere else? Love leaving love on all those lovely layouts? 😉 Then apply to be a Sugar Cookie and get rewarded for doing something you already LOVE to do!

I think that’s it for this week, it’s still pretty quiet in the forums with all the end of school year activities and some family vacations starting. Get ready though, because June is upon us and brand new challenges and surprises await us!

Have a happy weekend!
