Good Morning, Digi Friends!

Well, now, it has only been 4 months now that I have been blogging about the wonderfulness of Gingerscraps and the Sneak Peeks of the Week here in the happiest place on earth, and I just figured out how to insert the header into this page!  OHHHH my. Really. Oh my. 

Well THANK GOSH it has not taken me 4 months to figure out that Gingerscraps Designers are the best of the best, and the most fabulous and kind hearted people in digi land! That’s for sure!!  Yay!!! Kudos and a standing O for the GS designers! (insert applause here if you know how, LOL).

On another note, I hang my head in shame…I did not get my hybrids done this week. I am bummed. We were in need of a new car, and had to shop for one pretty much daily. If I was not online searching, I was out looking and test driving SUVs. We finally brought home a 2005 black Honda Pilot this week. So the “search is over” (yes, sing it with me you Chicago fans!!!!) and I can get back to shopping for back to school supplies for my school counseling office and making my hybrids for my office. FINALLY!  Hopefully I will be able to get some done this weekend to show you all how I use my most loved Gingerscraps supplies!

Speaking of which….there will be more in the store this week! Oh, how I love Fridays! Guess what’s coming this week? Well, take a look!!!! Whoo hoo!!! These designers rock my socks every time!!!

Are you ready? Fasten your seat belts, cuz here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We’ve got tons of fabulousness for you!

Well, digi friends, if that wasn’t a Sneak Peek-a-looza I don’t know what is! I am soooooo excited for Friday when we get to see what comes out of the kitchen at Gingerscraps. I better get a bigger hard drive for all the goodies that will be popping into my cart this weekend. Shazam!!!! This is going to be a fantabulously fun weekend of scrapping!!!! So pull up a mouse, and join me in the Gingerscraps forum while we wait until Friday!

Scrap on,

Hello Digi Friends!!!

Happy August to you all!  Wow! it’s the 9th already???!!  Geez oh man! This summer is flying by!!

I don’t know about you, but my kids and I are in back to school mode! It’s like this every summer here. I go back to my school job as a school counselor in August, well before the teachers and kids do, so I find myself shopping for school/ office supplies in August, and my daughter got her Kindergarten list of supplies she needs, so she is shopping with me. We’re both very excited to be back to school shopping this month!  I have been pondering ways to use my scrap supplies from Gingerscraps to embellish the back to school items we purchase. I love pinterest for ideas. So far, I am making cover sheets for the see through binders with GS papers, and am going to try to cover my scissor handles with them too. I am making a sign that says whether I am IN or OUT of my office to hang on my door, too. Yes, yes, yes. SOOOOO excited for back to school time! I will post the photos of my hybrids next week, so stay tuned!!!

As for this week, the designers have been busy cookin’ up some fabulous treats for us! 

Roseytoes Designs is giving us something sandy and fun to keep summer going a bit longer….

So join me, I’ll be sittin’ here, tapping my mouse, sippin my ice tea, thinkin’ of all I can do with these yumalicious goodies! Pull up a mouse and join me!!!! See you in the store on Friday!!!!!

Good Morning Digi Friends!

It’s a wet, rainy morning here in the Philly suburbs, a good day to stay indoors and scrap your socks off!

Hold on….where did July go?! Oh my goodness!! This summer is flying by! Whoosh! There it goes!!! Better catch the last few weeks of it and enjoy the rest of vacations, summer travel, kids in pools, beach bumming, or whatever it is that makes your summer enjoyable!

Not only is July gone, but here we are smack dab in the middle of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London! Whoo hoo!!! Loved that opening ceremony and the James Bond Queen Elizabeth spoof! Oh, and Mr. Bean!!!! Oh, he makes me laugh so hard!  Loved Paul McCartney at the end, too. Just a beautiful torch lighting event (and I do mean seeing David Beckham on that speed boat!!!). What a wonderful way to start the Games! Are any of you there right now, in London? I can’t wait to see your Layouts if you are! How cool!  For us, we are couch potatoes watching all sorts of sports that we don’t get to see everyday, like whitewater kayaking, table tennis (it will always be ping pong to me), synchronized diving, gymnastics, equestrian jumping, judo, swimming, and water polo, and so much more!

Ok, so the designers here at Gingerscraps have been busy, too! Busy again in the kitchen, cookin’ up some goodies for us all! I am certain you will go crazy over these designs coming to the store on Friday, August 3rd! I am so super excited to see what’s new in the Buffet this month, too! Cannot wait!! I love Fridays!!! Fridays and Gingerscraps = a GOLD MEDAL kinda day!

Here are some sneak peeks of the goodies comin’ our way this week….ready?? Set!! GO!!!!

From Amy Peck of Unforgettable Moments…

August Template Grab Bag: CU okay by Jen C Designs

I just love this! How cute this is! I want to use it in hybrid things for my BLAST group at school! It’s a peer leader sort of thing, but this kit suits it perfectly!

And look at the colors in this collection from Gingerscraps!  Can’t you just feel the end of summer and the beginning of fall here?! Love this! I have some winery photos that would look great with this collection.

Well, here I go again….a tappin’ my mouse and a sippin’ my java, waitin’ for  Friday at the Gingerscraps store! Pull up a chair and join me, we can catch some Olympics as we wait for our goodies!

Scrap On, Digi Friends! Have a Gold Medal week!
