This Week’s Sneak Peeks

In case you didn’t notice, this isn’t Beth posting. Sadly, Beth and her son are super duper sick with a stomach bug. Eww and poor things! So, I’m covering for her today!

Usually, there’s a little post in the forum, as well, but some have fallen asleep :O and haven’t posted much. I’m just kidding. I’m just a little super special and have access to the other layouts 😀

It’s already mid-April, but there’s definitely still plenty of time to get your challenge points going, so let’s jump right in! This week I’m spotlighting Laura Marie Scraps’ font challenge!

We are using this fabulous font, Simply Glamorous!

Laura Marie really picked a fantastic font for this month: sweet, girly and absolutely gorgeous for all your spring photos! Check out her layout here using her own Easter Fun kit:

Excellent job, gals; your use of the font is fabulous! There are more in the forum, so swing by and take a look for more inspiration. This is an easy challenge to complete and you’ll add another fun font to your stash!

Weekly Wrap-up – April 15th

Hiya! Sarah here again! How ya doin’? Hopefully everyone in the Midwest made it through the storms safely. If you did, make sure you let the forum know! We really do care about our members and want to make sure everyone is safe!!

Speaking about our members, I have some big news that will have a small impact on your life, if you’re part of the forum: Ginger has promoted two members to managers! :O Yes, I’m that Sarah :O No, I wasn’t surprised. I’d picked up some extra duties when I took on the role of Ad Team lead, but wow. Now I have a truly vested interest in the store, the forum, the blog.

So, newsletters and the big written stuff? That’s going to be done by me. Oh yeah, you’re truly stuck with me now. 

Now onto some other news.

Oh yes, sadly, our normal Friday night speed scrap had to be cancelled. 🙁 Terra, from all of us here at GingerScraps, we hope for a speedy and safe recovery for your mom. Remember that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!  

Pretty in Green also posted a freebie on her blog! Did you see it?

JillW gave us an update that we all already knew, but we love to hear anyways: GingerScraps rocks!! I’ve been with GS almost since Day #1, and wow. It’s like family 😀

It’s been a bit of a quiet week. Well, on the surface. Trust me, there’s more going on behind the scenes (did I mention I finally get to see it all too :D). More information, I promise, on some BIG stuff is coming soon!!

Bye for now!! See ya next week!! Or maybe sooner 😉
