Fresh Baked: June 01, 2013

Happy June! I’m so absolutely thrilled to share with you the wonderfulness that is coming out of Gingerscraps this month. We have a new Bake Sale, including a new and fun way to get some really stunning kits at wonderful prices.

Before we get to that, I have to share this month’s buffet. It’s called “Just Like Dad” and it’s a theme that has been heavily requested!

We have NEW Buffet options!! You asked for it, and we listened! The GS Buffet will now included FULL size kits!! In addition to the mix and match packs, you can now also find full size kits in the buffet section. The price point has been adjusted accordingly. Everything in the Buffet will always be $4.00 and under. Every month the new Buffet items will all be 50% off (from the 1-5th of the month). That means Full kits for $2 and a ton of mix and match packs all for $1!! You will not want to miss this!

There are so few boy-based kits, when compared to the kits geared towards girls. So many people, including the CT, and even the designers, have asked for a theme for fathers or boys, and this is the result.

Remember, if you don’t want to hear the sound, just click the button next to the play button, and it will mute it for you.

The designers knocked it out of the park. The designs are just amazing and so well done!

Fresh Baked: May 31, 2013

Did you notice the date? It’s the end of the month! I know! I’m still getting used to it being May, and now it’s going to be June tomorrow. I can’t say too much, but next month’s buffet is going to be a big hit, I think. There have been a lot of requests for this theme! So make sure you keep an eye out for tomorrow’s newsletter!

The designers this week did a variety of things. Katie Creates has an adorable girly-girly kit full of make-up. Connie is all focused on graduation and the end of school. Aprilisa has a kit perfect for every barbeque. ViolaMoni has some masks that I need to get myself!

I’m excited to show off the layouts this week. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! All three layouts this week were created using Spring Fling, the May buffet.


Beautiful layout by Nandy. The yellow paper just makes the whole layout pop so beautifully. The clusters are wonderful as well!


This layout created by justpennys. I love how the paper pieces point to the pictures! Beautifully done!


Wonderful layout by Lisa. I love the flower cluster as it frames 2/3 of the picture. So well done!

Good morning! I hope your week was good! This weekend signifies the “start” of summer in the States with Memorial Day. The opening of the pools happen. In a lot of areas, schools are out this week as well. The designers are definitely in the Summer spirit. So many colorful and fruit-filled kits this week! There are also several red-white-and-blue themed kits, to celebrate Memorial Day. Oh, and Connie Prince has an add-on for her Project 2013 kit for June!

Some of you amazing gallery artists definitely need to give me some tips on layout creating, because they are amazing. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! I chose one using the Spring Fling buffet series, and two using Signs of Spring, the monthly mix for May.


Adorable layout created by MamaCake.  I love the film strip aspect of this layout. It’s so beautifully done!


Amazing picture-less layout created by jenevang. I love the way that this is done. The elements are so big and it just plays beautifully.


Lovely layout created by sarahm172. I love how the clusters and pictures are framed. It’s just so well done!

Good morning! I hope you’re gearing up for summer because the Gingerscraps designers sure are! Almost every single design has a summer-themed kit this week. Katie Creates has a great kit for haircuts and hairstyles. I think that’s a kit almost all of us probably need! Twin Mom Scraps has one centered around getting well, and after the iNSD hangover, I think all of us are in need of some healthy thoughts 😉

Some of you amazing gallery artists definitely need to give me some tips on layout creating, because they are amazing. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! I chose two using the Spring Fling buffet series, and one using Signs of Spring, the monthly mix for May.


Wonderful layout by zenjen. I love the story behind the picture. I’d love to know what joke was told for this particular picture!


Wonderful layout by mamaape. I love the blocking. So beautifully done. Clusters are amazing, as well.


Just beautiful layout by Ricki. The cluster work is wonderful, and I love the circular layers. And who can resist a cute baby?

Template goodness by Angelclaud Artroom.

Violamoni has a new kit coming and as you can see from her sneak peak it looks beautiful.

I love that glitter frame and those photo’s are really cute surrounded by all the adorable  elements.
