Fresh Baked: New Buffet and iDSD!

Oh, hello November. Wow. October has come, she has gone. The festivals have all ended, and now we’re looking forward to, at least in the States, for Thanksgiving. Those not are starting their countdown to their winter holidays.

Or… you could be going iDSD!! DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!! There are lots of things planned at Gingerscraps, and it’s going to be SO much fun!

The sale has been extended to the 9th, so that those affected by Sandy are able to get their power back. Our thoughts and prayers are with the NE of the United States at this time, hoping for a fast recovery to a normalcy.

The theme this month is “Attitude of Gratitude”. The colors are amazing, but honestly, I have to say the theme is my favorite. This past week has reminded me, personally, of how much we have to be grateful for. We have a roof over our head, a working computer, and pictures upon pictures to scrap. Right now, I’m set for everything. I can take anything, as long as I have the love of family and friends. Do you agree?

It’s the first of the month, so that means the Gingerbread Man is running through, sticking things in the Bake Sale! You never know what you’ll find in there!

The goodies that the designers have put together are just AMAZING, and I’m so excited to show them to you!

Ready for Bingo?

Hi there!

Happy Sunday!  Have you scrapped oodles of layouts so far this weekend?  Or are you just shopping ’til you drop?  We’ve got some more fun for you today!  2 speed scraps AND Bingo!  So hope you are ready for this last day of Digital Scrapbooking excitement!!!

Today at 1pm EST – there will be a speed scrap with Kathy Winters.

Then at 3pm EST:

And then for a little nightcap – a speed scrap with Jodi at 10pm EST.

Plus this is the last day to shop the amazing deals in the store:

 

Hope to see you over in the forum!  Have a fabulous day!  🙂

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!!

Hi there!  Hope you are planning to have an amazing day today!  There is so much going on in digi-land for this scrapping holiday – you can certainly make a whole day of it!  🙂  Of course we do hope you’ll spend some of your time with us in the GS forum.

We have 2 speed scraps scheduled for this evening – one with Connie Prince at 4pm EST and one with Marie H at 9pm EST.  Hope to see you there!!!  Remember to use those share buttons below and invite your friends to the fun!  🙂

Have a fabulous Digital Scrapbooking Day!

DSD Weekend is upon us!

Are you ready for the excitement of this weekend?  I am beyond excited!

Jacque here – let me start with a little update.  We had a crazy storm the other day that dumped over a foot of snow on us (yes! in October) and knocked out power for tons of people.  Talk about a rude awakening – in the 15 years at this house – the power has gone out for no more than a couple hours at a time.  3 days with no heat was not something we were prepared for!  Thankfully – all is back to normal and we are all thawed out!  🙂

The other update I want to provide you with is about the Daily Download for November.  It IS coming!!!  Things have been crazy with the behind the scenes preparations for DSD weekend but Ginger is working very hard to get it all set for y’all.  As soon as its ready to go for you – we’ll get it posted – I promise!  🙂  So – to tide you over – I’d like to invite you over to my blog to check out my very first attempt at a freebie mini-kit for a blog train.  There are 2 templates there as well.  🙂

 

Okay – so now onto the fun of this weekend:

One of the greatest parts of DSD is the amount of Grab Bags you can get at an amazing price!  Trust me – the GingerScrap Ladies have put together some goodies you don’t want to miss out on!  Plus the WHOLE STORE IS ON SALE!!!!  Click on the picture to hop right over and get to shopping!  🙂

The other part of DSD that I love (and hopefully you do too) is all the scrapping excitement!  We have put together some amazing reasons to scrap as much as you can this weekend:

This must be it – right?

NOPE!  Today is also the first Friday of the month so that means we get to Scrap n’ Chat with Cari too!

So… to recap – let’s get together with Ginger at 4pm EST to kick things all off, then we’ll chat with Cari at 9pm EST, and then we’ll chat with Jen at 10pm EST.   Plus all day long you can shop the great deals and go ahead and get started on the challenges.

ARE YOU READY?????  See you in the forum!  🙂  Oh yeah – would you do me a favor?  Click on one of those share buttons by my name tag and tell your friends about the fun!  Thanks!  🙂

Here is a little more about Gina… in her own words,

“Hi, I’m Gina and a mother of two children, Marisa who is 7 and Tristan who is 2. I named him after Brad Pitt’s character in Legends of the Fall. I have been married for 14 years this coming October. I lived in Sarasota, FL since 2001. I started out my digi/scrapping hobby now career with paper scrapping back in 2003. I worked part time at a scrapbook store and was on the design team. I have always loved computers and before I switched my major in college to Fashion Buying and Design I majoring in Advertising with Graphic Arts. That was before it was on computers though. So when I found out about digital scrap-booking in 2007, I naturally switched over. I ended up over the years being on 11 CT’s and at the end of last summer I decided I wanted to design. I am pretty much self taught with PS and now just starting to learn Illustrator. But last November when I debuted as a guest designer, it was just templates. Only recently did I start designing kits. I am still learning and love it when I find out a new tip or trick or way of doing something in PS. I use CS 5 for both PS and Illustrator. I also use Art Rage and Repper. I can draw but not very well, so that is a goal of mine to try to draw more myself. Besides digi, I love to make jewelry and have a store at Etsy and I love reading. just got a Kindle earlier this year and am so very happy with it. I was lucky enough to go to a digi convention this past March in Vegas and will go again this coming March. Since I also work a full time 40 hour a week job, I cherish spending time with my two kiddos and only spend time on my digi after they go to bed, which means very late nights for me and hardly any sleep. I am have been so fortunate to have made some truly remarkable and lasting friendships with some of the girls I have met online through this wonderful hobby!”

Take a look at some of her Delicious Goodies!!
