Oh wow, is it Friday already? Where did the week go? It seems like it was just yesterday, that I was writing last week’s Fresh Baked announcement. Wow.

We have so much going on behind the scenes here at GingerScraps!! National Scrapbooking Day is quickly approaching! If any of you are new to Scrapping, National Scrapbooking Day (NSD for short) is an event we look forward to all year long! It started out as one day, but grew into a whole WEEKEND! You will want to cook some meals ahead, find a baby sitter, and plan on being on your computer from dusk till dawn. The Gingerscraps Designers have some big plans for NSD weekend. May 4-6th are the official dates of the festivities…. but…. shhh I will let you in on a little secret, you will want to make sure you check in bit early 😉

Here is a sneak peak of some of our NSD plans.

Trust me, it’s going to be a blast!!

*waves frantically* Hi! New person doing the newsletter. Shannon has moved onto another adventure. We’ve been promised that we’ll still see her in the forums from time to time, so I’m excited to see what life has in store for her! I’m taking over most of the writing stuff for the newsletter, the blog, and that good stuff.

Oh, darn it! I didn’t introduce myself, did I? I’m Sarah! I’m officially Ginger’s “Left Hand” 😀 That’s the little joke going around between the admins. A couple of them, I think, are her feet. She’s definitely the queen. Anyways, off-track here. You’ll find that I do that often. Anyways! (another thing I’ll do often) I’m Sarah. I’m a Hoosier-native (Indiana, USA, for those confused), formerly of Florida, and now in Kansas. Well, I’ve been here for eight years in July. Wow. I’m married to a local mail carrier, and we have two amazing kids.

I’ve been digi-scrapping for forever it seems. I’ve actually been around since the inception, or pretty close, of Gingerscraps, so I’m so glad to see it prospering and succeeding so well!

First off, time for the reveal of the Mystery Designer.

Do you think you guessed correctly? If you guessed Colie’s Corner, you guessed correctly!!

Congrats!! I’ll be sending you your codes soon, I promise!!

Oh! You want to see the full kit reveal? Sure!!

You can get Robot Tricks in the store now!

Now! Time for this week’s Mystery Designer challenge!!

So, time for the new releases. There’s quite a few things. The designers really outdid themselves. Before I show the kits, though, I would like to remind you that if you spend $10, you get an amazing Grab Bag from Jill DZines for FREE! Who doesn’t like free?

Here you go for the new kits!!

 Hello.  How are you?  I’m doing well thanks for asking.  Spring went away here and Winter is back.  How far is that?  Yeah, not very fair at all.  I’m hoping Spring will return soon, I’m tired of being chilly.  I think that is all I’ve got for chit chat.  I’ve been on the phone with everyone and their brother this week that I think I’m just all talked out.  So let’s get right on with the newsletter.

Don’t forget about our Spring Cleaning Sale!  Only a few days left

This week let’s start with our Mystery Designer.  This is the sneak peek I showed you last week

There were some winners this week which is great!  The mystery designer we had this week was…do you think you got it right?  Maybe?  The designer is….wonderful.  She is working on making more templates for you because well everyone loves her templates.  Ok, you got it!  You were right!

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS!

 Here is her full template pack!

Make sure you pick it up!  Before you buy it let’s see who gets it for free:

Facebook: Shannon Waily

Forum: bumblebee

 Another great week! Have a great weekend and I’ll catch you back here on Sunday for our Huge Monthly Newsletter with tons of exciting news!

Long time no see!  It’s been what?  A few hours?  Were you excited about all the new stuff that is going on this month?  Don’t forget our $1 bake sale is going on for a few more days…we have some great deals in there!!

Do you remember yesterday when I metioned we have a new contest starting?  Well the contest starts TODAY!  YAY!  Here’s the deal I’m going to post a sneak peek for a brand new kit.  You will need to look at it, and guess who made it.  To make everything fair – no one but the designer and me knows the answer.  No one knows who is participating, or whose week is when (well except for me..lol).  The designers aren’t allowed to show it to their CT or the store CT.  When I tell you this is fair, it is completely fair (plus no GS staff members are allowed to participate just to keep everything even more fair).

What I’m going to do is post the sneak peek in the forum, on the blog and on facebook.  It will have it’s own thread so if you are reading this on the blog or on facebook, please don’t post here.  Look for the individual posts in the forum, on the blog (leave a comment with your guess), and on facebook.  Next Friday I will announce the kit, the designer and the 3 winners…along with showing you the next sneak peek…so get your guesses in within the week!

What you need to do is go to those places (you can guess once at each place if you want) to tell me who the designer is.  I will be picking 1 winner from each place and they will win that kit for free!!  Sounds like fun right?  We are calling this “Mystery Designer”.  Ready to start?

Leave your guesses in the FORUM, on the BLOG, and on FACEBOOK.  Maybe you will be our winner!!!

Now it’s time to talk about our newest Welcome Wagon kit.  As you know this is a free sample of our designers’ work.  All you have to do is be registered in our forum and you can have them.  This week our new Welcome Wagon kit is made by the one and only Connie Prince.  Exciting huh?  To have a free kit made by THE Connie Prince?  CRAZY but true!  Check out our Welcome Wagon forum to get it!

 Now it’s time to show you our New Releases.  Can I just remind you of our free grab bag you get when you spend $10?  Craft-tastrophic Designs did a great job with it!!

Here are the new releases!!

There you go my friends!  Have a great week and get those guesses in for our mystery designer!!!

Welcome to a brand new month here at GingerScraps!  Do you have anything exciting this month?  Aren’t you sweet to ask about me.  I really don’t have anything planned.   I can say here at GingerScraps we have TONS going on.  We start with a brand new contest…oh shoot, I shouldn’t have told you.  Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything…and while we are pretending you didn’t hear that (or read that), pretend that you don’t know it starts on Friday.  Remind me to keep Ginger busy so she doesn’t know I spilled the beans.  Shhh….it will be our secret.

Let’s see, what can I tell you about March?  OH!  I know!  How do you feel about books?  How do you feel about reading them?  How do you feeling like winning $5?  I knew that would get your attention.  Come join us in the forum with our hosts Jen Yurko, and JoyLynn (Blue Heart Scraps)!!

Hm…what else…OH!  How about a HUGE sale!  That’s right!  It’s time once again for our $1 Bake Sale!

This sale will last from today until the 5th so make sure you grab it when you can!

While we are talking about the $1 Bake Sale, would you like to see the new Buffet goodies?  They will all be $1 until the 5th as well.  The theme?  Reading room!

 See?  Book club?  Reading Buffet Kit?  Yeah we are awesome.  Here are the kits!

Here is what our CT did with these:

(Thank you Lisa for the amazing images!)

Now remember, if you spend $10 in our store you get the free grab bag kit!  This month the grab bag was made by Craft-tastrophic!

Let’s see what else is going on..I GOT IT!  Our March Guest!  Before I tell you all about how awesome she is, let me tell this…we asked Lina (LDrag Designs) to stay for another month and guess what she said?  SHE SAID YES!  WOO!  Make sure you check by her store and grab her goodies!!

So our March Guest.  Her name is Erin and designs under the name of Secret Stash…and well she is AMAZING!!!

*Store*  *Facebook*  *Newsletter*  *Blog*

I asked Erin to tell us about herself and this is what she had to say:

My name is Erin. I am 27 years old and the proud mom to two awesome kids. I love designing and scrapping of course and I also love reading and photography in my downtime. I really can’t do anything without making some sort of joke and you’ll usually find me with a smirk on my face about something or another. I really value family and friendship and laughter. 
One of the first stores I ever started selling my designs in was Gingerscraps. Thank you for having me back this month, it’s fun getting back to my roots!

Here is just one of her many goodies (keep checking her store as she adds more and more stuff!!):

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Work-of-Heart.html

Please check out her store, trust me when I say you won’t be disappointed.

Last but not least…our Daily Download.  Last month Marie H Designs made the kit.  For a limited time you can get it for just $1…seriously…$1!!!  Here it is, fully revealed:

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Some-Kind-of-Lovin.html

This month Ginger made it!  That’s right!  Our very own GingerScraps!!  Make sure you check the blog daily for each piece!

There you have it.  I’ll see you tomorrow for our new releases!!

ACHOO!  Excuse me.  I didn’t mean to sneeze.  I promise I sneezed into my elbow.  I can’t tell if I have a head cold or just awful allergies.  Ugh, I hate feeling this way.  Hopefully none of you are sick.  If you are I hope you feel better soon.

I do know what will everyone feel that much better….New Releases!!  Before I tell you about them I do have very exciting news about today.  Today is someone’s birthday.  Care to guess?  Nope…guess again.  Nope, not her either.  It’s our very own GINGER!  Help me wish Ginger a very happy birthday.  Happy Birthday Ginger!!  We love you!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programs – Remember if you spend $10 in the store you get a free grab bag by Luv Ewe Designs.

To help you get more bang for you buck…ACHOO!  Sorry about that.  Where was I?  Oh right!  Bang for you buck!  We have some great sales going on!
