I love creating the themed elements and coming up with the idea.

What’s the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen window?
Trees and kids playing.
Share your favorite recipe with us.
Cinnamon Roll Bites. Open a 12-oz can of biscuits; cut each into fourths. Toss to coat pieces in a mixture of 1/4 C brown sugar + 1T cinnamon. Spread in baking dish. Pour on 3T melted butter. Bake 20-25 min. Once done cover with cream cheese frosting and enjoy! My oldest is allergic to red dye as well as some preservatives so we make our own version of cinnamon buns/bites.
Thanks Kimberly! Make sure to check out her GS Store, her Facebook page, and her blog.

You’re going to love them! I promise!

Gingerscraps Is Marching In With New Goodies

The skies are getting bluer. The grass is turning green again. Everyone is wearing more and more of the green, as well. It must be March. The month of the lion coming in! Time to gear up and get ready for spring! The designers are ready! Are you?
It is the First of the month, and that means the revel of our new Buffet!! Don’t forget the new Buffet items will all be 50% off (from the 1-5th of the month)!
*NEW Buffet Bundles* Take a look at our all new Buffet Bundles! Each buffet for 2016 will have a sub category for our Buffet Bundles. One easy click to add bunches of Buffet goodies to your cart, and an amazing value too!
The designers all had their own take on what the colors and theme said to them! I love the variety!
The designers definitely each made the palette their own and came up with some gorgeous designs, each unique but working so well with the other designers’ creations
