Weekly Wrap Up
Mar

2012
What does a busted phone and a sad Snickerdoodle have in common? Not much, actually. Just a little jealousy on my part that my husband got a new phone. He got an HTC Inspire. BIG upgrade from a basic texting dumphone (Samsung Impression). I had to resist adding the Gingerscraps app to it.
What? You didn’t know that Gingerscraps has an Android app? Well, they do!! They have one for the iPhone (or other such devices) and for Windows 7 phones!
Sweet, right? Reminds me that I need to get onto someone about updating this ad! Windows 7 is available!
Other news? What? Really? You still want to hear me?
Oh geeze! I’m turning into Shannon! *hides*
On the Facebook page, Jacque wonders what everyone did on Monday. Personally, I was in bed. Sinuses. Blech! Anyone else abhor them?
On the forum, Jen, of Jen Yurko Designs, asked which app to use: Forum Runner or Tapatalk for her Droid. As a future owner of an Android (I’m getting the same one as my husband 
). Looks like BOTH are getting good reviews. For Windows users: I suggest Board Express.
Speaking of Android apps, I posted, looking for the BEST apps for Android. I’m an app girl. I like to make everything all me and personal. I can do that with apps!!
Now, it’s March. Yeah, it’s March already. Where did February go?
How did you do with the challenges? Yeah, I didn’t do too well. Goal for March for me personally is to do at least four of them!!
One I’m definitely trying is the Technique Challenge. Selective coloring, basically, is what you’re learning. Plus, there’s an ADORABLE kitty in the thread!! I swear I heard it purr at me!
Another one I’m going to attempt to do is the FONT CHALLENGE!!
Considering a certain popular show on ABC, this font is PERFECT for that. Anything related to reading or something! Hey, you could use the new BUFFET on it!! The Reading Room!
I can’t wait to see what you do!!
March’s book is The Hunger Games!! Join us for discussions starting March 07, and an unscheduled at the moment chat at the end of the month!
Before I forget!!
You still have a day or so!! Go check it out!!
Well, I think that’s about it!! If you have anything you think should be brought forth for a weekly round-up on Gingerscraps, give me a holler on Gingerscraps (I’m Sarah on there)! I’ll see what I can do!!
Team Spotlight: Craft-tastrophic!

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope your weekend has started off wonderful. Were you able to sleep in? Have that big cup of coffee in your fuzzy slippers?
This week’s Team Spotlight member is Ivonne from Craft-tastrophic!
She’s our March Grab Bag designer (which you can get for FREE with a $10 purchase in the store!). Which I can say I actually have already after a teeny little shopping spree last night! It’s a very versatile pack, so I highly advise you to get shoppin’! 😉
Earlier this week I caught up with her and asked her a little bit about herself.
I live in Mexico, married to Jorge, 15 years ago and mother to Keila 6yo, I like spinning and Zumba as well as swimming in the beach… let´s say… Hawaii 😀
How did you begin designing?
I bought my PSP to edit pictures and to create images to make cards, then I discover digital scrapbooking and got involved in a designer contest where I won a spot to sell in one store.
What inspires your designing?
Everyday, everything and love.
What is the one thing you need while designing?
I like to have music while designing.
In one word, how would you describe your design style?
I´ll have to say Craftastrophic-o 🙂
I then asked Ivonne about her kits- her first, best-selling and favorite.
My very first kit is Family Memories, still available at my store, and still selling
The very best seller is Neutralized
and my favorite kit at store is Fall-land.
All three are available in the store. I love how deep and rich her color pallets are. One thing I really love about Craft-tastrophic’s designs are her templates (which I have added several to my wishlist!). Here is one in particular I can’t wait to get my hands on.
Go check ’em out!
I asked Ivonne what her advice is for aspiring designers, she replied with,
I´ll say like in everything, prectice, practice, practice to achieve quality work.
What is one thing we may not know about you, Ivonne?
You may not know I´m a Pediatrician, it took me like 11 years to get there after High school. I also collect embossing templates, ribbons, and punchers.
Finally, I asked her to share the funniest little quip she recently came across, meme, joke, quote, book…
Hope you got a good giggle too, I know I did!
Thank you Ivonne for taking a few moments to tell us a little bit more about you and your designing. We hope to see many more beautiful kits from you! And don’t forget ladies, to get your March Grab Bag!
