Fresh Baked: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

January 1, 2013 by Sarah

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe it? It’s 2013!! 2012 was filled with ups and downs, a few bumps and bruises, but plenty of good friends and love. At least it was here at Gingerscraps. Gingerscraps saw a new look, lots of new designers joining the team, and the sadness of a few leaving us.

New Year’s is the time for celebration, and for reflecting. It’s the time to set new resolutions and review the ones we made the year prior. This month’s buffet, Hopes and Dreams is perfect for that!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, we celebrate Christmas at our house, and it was a perfect day! I can not wait to see the gallery full of your beautiful holiday photographs!

I realized something crazy today … This is the last Fresh Baked Newsletter for 2012! In a few short days we will celebrate the arrival of 2013! Throw some glitter in the air and hug the ones you love, lets fill 2013 with pages and pages of memories in our scrapbooks!

Has your winter brought you any snow? We’re supposed to be getting some snow after the new year, perfect for making more layouts using Snowball Fight. I just adore this buffet so much!

Here are a few of the layouts that I picked to showcase! The last for 2012!

Created by Roknbear. I love the angled pictures. They just totally work!

Created by missdamsel. It’s a Two-Pager! I love how this turned out! The clusters and random snowflakes are wonderful!

Created by AriadnesClue. I love the extraction! Such a pretty tree!

Well, I asked for snow. I got the snow. I didn’t get a lot, but I really did get some. They’re hinting at a White Christmas too. What I didn’t bargain for was the ice. Or the resulting snow day. Oh well, it’s so pretty outside, looking at all the whiteness. For those in the path of “Draco”, be safe! It’s a very windy storm. It’s also a very cold storm!

This week, I decided to dip into the “Buffet Challenge” layouts. There are some amazingly beautiful layouts there!

Created by Victoria32. I love that the focus is on the pictures. Plus, as someone obsessed with nutcrackers, I love that nutcracker!

Created by Joy2Scrapbook. I love lights, and these pictures are just amazing! The paper choices work SO well with it all!

created by gwtwred. I love the journaling around the W. That is SO cute! I love the W, period! I’m going to have to lift this layout for sure!

Before I start with the beautiful kits and products that the designers have created for you, I just have to share this awesome news with you, a new Welcome Wagon kit has been released! If you do not know about our Welcome Wagon area, you should go check it out right away! Once you register in the forum, you will have access to the Welcome Wagon area. The designers create wonderful goodies and give them to you for FREE! The Welcome Wagon has been up and running, for over a year, so our designers are changing their goodies! New goodies, Free goodies! Keep checking the Welcome Wagon area, we will be reveling something new every few weeks!

Lily, of Pixelily Designs, has created a beautiful kit for all members! All you have to do to get it is register in the forum and check out the Welcome Wagon sub-forum!

Oh man, oh man! I am so excited! Christmas is just around the corner. Hanukkah is currently happening. There are so many wonderful things, holiday-wise, going on! I work with the Girl Scouts (I’m a Daisy leader, in fact), and this weekend, we’re making ornaments and going to nom on some delicious cake balls. I’m excited, even though they’re calling for rain instead of snow.

The lack of snow is made tolerable by the amazing layouts I’m seeing in the gallery though. I’m amazed, each week, as I go in, and try and pick out just a few layouts that I just adore. All of you, those who share your layouts with us, are amazing, and create just the most beautiful layouts! Thank you!

Created by Tree City. Oh I love the Bokeh! Seriously adore the bokeh. Jealous of it as well, 😀

Created by missdamsel. I love the snowflakes down the sides! It adds such a beautiful contrast to the layout.

Created by jenevang. First I saw the beautiful amazing blend. And then the beautiful clustering. So absolutely gorgeous!

I’m currently so desperate for snow, I’m about ready to make snowballs out of mashed potatoes. Or mud. Something. It’s December and we hit the 70s a few days ago here in the Midwest. Insanity, I tell you. Thankfully, I have Sims 3: Seasons, so I can get my snowball fight on that way!

Speaking of Snowball Fights, I had nearly two pages in the gallery to go through! That’s awesome! Y’all are really loving the buffet, aren’t you? I had a hard time just choosing a few!

Created by swastinadia. I LOVE the use of the little ones to make a scene, and the BEAUTIFUL blend!

Created by sladd79054. I love the use of the dark background with the whiteness of the pictures!

Created by Lisa. I just love this! I love the added actual ribbon, and what looks like extra added snowflakes. SO cute!

Fresh Baked: Happy December

November 30, 2012 by Sarah

Can you believe it’s already December? Thirty-one more days, and we’ll be looking at 2013!

The winds are blowing in from the north, and the breath is visible in the air. There are white flakes falling from the sky. The winter season is upon us, and it’s time to prep for the snow.

Some areas have already had snow come to their areas, and I will be honest. I am completely jealous. I was born during a snowfall. Being a December baby, you tend to end up with that. Lately, we haven’t seen any snow. It makes me sad. Hopefully, we get some this year.

Why, you ask, am I going on about snow? It’s time for a new buffet! This month’s theme is snow, snow, and more snow! Snowball Fight!

Snowball Fight is full of fun elements and papers, just perfect for all of those snow pictures. If you don’t have any snow pictures, pictures of the beach would work just fine, I think. Even something Christmas related would be perfect!

Fresh Baked for November 30, 2012

November 30, 2012 by Sarah

I am so thankful that we all survived this month together. Is it just me or did it fly by? Can you believe that tomorrow is December. Just a few more days left in 2012. I’m also thankful that it’s that time of year to share our Christmas stuff. I love Christmas lights.

I’ve been playing The Nutcracker music on repeat lately. It is one of my most favorite things of the holidays. I adore the ballet. I love the music. And I have an obsession with the figurines. Anyone else adore them?

Want to hear something else I adore? The layouts that have been made using the Attitude of Gratitude buffet by the awesome members of Gingerscraps, and the layouts that are coming from the Friendship Monthly Mix collab.

Created by scrapjrlgcp using Friendship. I love the use of the frame and the beautiful cluster work!

Good Morning, Gingerscraps fans! In the States, yesterday was Thanksgiving, the day of remembering all that we are thankful for.

We are so lucky to be a part of this world, one that allows us to connect with someone so easily via the internet. I’m so thankful that I have friends that I have “met”, and I love each and every single one of them. I’m quite sure you have friends you feel the same way about.

The Monthly Mix for November is “Friendship” and the Attitude of Gratitude buffet really just meshes so well. I decided to choose two buffet layouts and a third being from the Monthly Mix.

A beautiful timeline created by dodgeladee. I love the use of just the blues and the sunflowers!

Created by jbdolfin. I love the cluster work. It’s just gorgeous!

Created by chigirl. I just love the way the little banner word arts are used, and the amazing clusters!

In the States, the day after Thanksgiving is full of lots of frantic shopping and great deals! Everyone is exhausted, and in dire need of some coffee and sweet treats. Gingerscraps knows all about that, so we’re having a nice little sale to help give you that boost you might need!

I cannot wait to see what’s going to be for sale. I don’t know. I really don’t! I know some kits I’m dying to have, and I hope to see them in there!

There are a lot of sales going on! Not just the Coffee Shop. Lots of designers are having sales for this weekend, as well. Make sure you check them out!

There’s more to be grateful about! There’s a new FWP grab bag. This month, it was created by Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs. It’s just beautiful!

Oh my. Do I have so much to be thankful and grateful for right now. My son needed glasses. Have you ever priced those? I’m thankful that we have insurance that covered all but $5 of his exam. I wish it would have covered more for his glasses, but I am so thankful that I was able to get them for him. I am also so thankful for the friends that I have surrounded around me. Without them, I do not know where exactly I would be in life.

Speaking of friends, this week, a new monthly mix is being released. Inspired Designs, Kathy Winters, Pixelily Designs, Roseytoes, and Z Pink Boudoir Designs worked together on this amazing new collab! It is just perfect for all friendships.

The CT really loved playing with the kit. They were raving over it. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just look at some of the layouts they’ve created!

Fresh Baked: Another New Designer

November 14, 2012 by Sarah

I love writing these newsletters! I love sharing that we have a new designer joining us. It makes me feel all giddy inside.

Today, we have ViolaMoni joining the squad here at Gingerscraps!

As we always do, we asked her tell us a little about herself, and this is what she had to share with us:

I’m Monica, aka ViolaMoni, 24yo, from Milan, a beautiful city in the north of Italy. I just finished my art studies at the university and now I’m looking for a job: my dream is to open my own studio, where I can teach painting and drawing to children and adults. I live with my parents and my old (17yo) dog, Chicco.
I love theatre, cinema and art in generally. I’m a creative person, I like painting, drawing, photography ….but I don’t like cooking! 😉
I hope you like my designs!

Oh, I have always wanted to go to Milan! I bet it is just absolutely GORGEOUS there!
