This Week’s Sneak Peeks
May 10, 2012 by
Good Morning, Scrappers!
I hope you were able to enjoy some, if not all, of iNSD weekend here at Gingerscraps! What a blast we had chatting with each other, doing scavenger hunts, guessing which designer went with which baby picture, posting in the gallery, and even playing truth or dare! There were numerous speed scraps, chats, and tons of fun give aways in the forum too! Oh my gosh! I have never had so much fun on my computer in my life! The Gingerbread Ladies really did a great job at cooking up loads of awesome fun for everyone!
And…they’re still busy cookin’ up stuff for us! Gee whiz, Ladies! You’re all so amazing and wonderful! Let’s see what’s cookin’ this week…
From Keep In Touch we have this beautiful kit. I love making vintage-y looking layouts, and this is going to be perfect!
Stop on by the Gingerscraps Store on Friday, May 11, 2012, to see more of what our way awesome super fantabulous designers have created for us!
I am soooo excited to see more of what’s been cookin, how about you!?
Pull up a mouse, and a cup o joe, and join me in waiting for Friday’s new additions! I am super excited! These designers are super cool, and I want everything they create here at Gingerscraps!!!
Happy rest of the week to you!!!
Challenge Spotlight – Template Challenge #1
May 8, 2012 by
Have you recovered from NSD yet?? Has your pocketbook? I didn’t go as crazy shopping as some of my fellow scrappers did (you know who you are!), but I did buy a bunch of kits I’ve had my eye on for a while and I’m ready to put them to good use! Here’s a way to get scrapping with all those treasures you picked up over the weekend and add another freebie to your stash: the first May template challenge hosted by Inspired Designs!
This month’s first template is really cool; take a look!
I really love the mix of square and circle photograph shapes with the mini clusters. This template will definitely make for some eye-catching LOs! Need some inspiration from the fabulous scrappers of the forum? Here you go!

Wonderful pages, ladies! You’ve all made the template your own and these LOs are definitely inspiring my creativity!
You’ve got all month to get this one in to count towards your challenge points, but it’s such a nifty template, I’d grab it now if I were you! (As a matter of fact, I should go finish my LO with this one right now!)
Don’t forget to grab a spot May Challenge Points Tracking thread so you can tally up all your points and start working your way towards a discount coupon or gift certificate! Any questions on this or any of the monthly challenges can be posted to the Cookie Jar; don’t be shy, someone else might have the same question! 🙂
Alright ladies, I’m off to start going through my NSD spoils and get some challenges done! Have a wonderful week and I’ll see you all back here next Tuesday!

Congratulations to Jacque for winning LOTW! Her layout is absolutely stunning. Can you imagine how long it took to layer all of those flowers.

This Week’s Sneak Peeks
April 26, 2012 by
Hey Hey Hey!!! It’s my favorite day of the week again! Peek A Boo Thursday!!! I love love love getting to see glimpses of what is coming to the Gingerscraps store, don’t you!?
And yes, I am feeling tons better than last week, thank you! I feel so good, that I can’t wait to shop again!!!! I love to shop. I absolutely love it. I shop for shoes, I shop for house stuff, I shop for clothes for me and the kids, I shop for the best bargain, I shop for gifts, I shop for things that help me bring out the creative side of me, like antiques, architectural salvage materials, and my favorite, Digital Scrapbooking Supplies! Oh how I love shopping for Digi Stuff! I don’t need a shelf to keep it on, I don’t need to worry if I leave the lid open or the scissors out, or if the cat will get into it. Oh, how freeing!!!
But I will tell you why I love to shop. I love to be INSPIRED. I am inspired creatively by the things around me, that surround me every day, and by what is new to me. When I am inspired creatively, I am better able to be creative in my job, at home, with my kids, with the organizations I am involved in, and feel more balanced and productive. No, I am not rationalizing my shopping habit. Well, maybe. But when you come to Gingerscraps you cannot help but to be INSPIRED by the fantabulous designers and their Creative Teams!
So, let’s see what we get to shop for this week in the Gingerscraps store, one of my favorite hang outs other than the CAbi store in the outlets….
From PsychoZoe, we have this fun little number…
Yummalicious colors are coming from Pixels by Jen shown here… I love that owl!!!
From Keeping In Touch Designs, and a template by Craftastrophic from this month’s Template Challenge, we have this lovely ensemble of colors and notions that will inspire so many projects and ideas for preserving those memories!
Also from Keeping In Touch Designs with a template by LauraMarie Scraps….
And here is a fun kit from Jen Yurko that is coming out. Talk about INSPIRED! I think I can use this in a ton of different ways! Can’t wait to get my mouse on this one!
from Jen Yurko…
Coming from Luv Ewe Designs…
Coming from Jen Yurko and Joyful Heart Designs…
Well now, if you are anything like me, your socks have been knocked off by the way super fabulous designers here at Gingerscraps, and your brain is going a mile a minute as you are thinking of wonderful ways to incoporate these new kits into your scrapping closet! I am one who needs to see the kit first, then I figure out how to use it. And I like that my scrapping closet doesn’t need to worry about being messy, or over flowing. I have a good system of organizing my files so everything is at the ready, so I’m good to go! Rock on!!!!!
So pull up a mouse, grab some tea, or java, or lemonade, and sit here with me while I wait until Friday for these fabulous kits to show up in the Gingerscraps store! In the mean time, you can catch some fun times and loads more inspiration on the Gingerscraps forum, the friendliest digi scrapping site in the universe!!!
