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!!

And now the moment you have all been waiting for…… The GingerScraps Guest Designer for July is…….

Jen Yurko!!!!

Here is a little more about Jen:

I’m a 38yo stay at home mom, married to the most awesome man on the planet 😉 We are an army family… DH has been career all the way. Which really doesn’t bother me, having grown up a Navy brat. Between the two of us, we have 7 children… ages 19, 17, 16, 13, 12, 11 & 8… plus a cat and a dog. I’ve been digi-scrapping for about 3 1/2 years now, designing for a little over 2 of those years. I love the creative process and have recently switched gears in my designing to include more doodlage and less purchased CU. There are CU designers out there that are just too good to pass up though 😉 Aside from digital scrapbooking & designing, I love making blinkies & banners, I dabble in web design, and I am hooked on Mario games for our Wii. I’ve also gotten myself a Kindle and have been reading a lot lately! I’m so excited to be here at GingerScraps and hope you enjoy my designs as much as I did creating them!

And now here is a taste of the goodies Jen has in store for you this month at GingerScraps-

Hi GingerScraps Friends! This is Ginger here today, my lovely Shannon needed to step away from the computer for the weekend… How Dare She!! So please forgive typos and misspellings…. I always say, The mistakes give it character, but that is when they are my mistakes. haha. When I find typos or misspelling done by another, I judge and wag my finger disapprovingly. Hehehe.

We have 2 girls Courtney (8) and Kelsey (5), a cat (Spyder) and a dog (Dixie). We live in eastern Kentucky. I have been designing steadily for about 4 years, off and on before that. I started out as a paper scrapper so my designs reflect that.

BakeSale_Ad_small.png

But wait- Before I show you the amazing Yummy Bake Sale goodies… I have some VERY exciting news!!

You all know her and love her- The one and only Mel Hains is our December Guest GingerBread Lady! This is Mels first ever guest spot. I am so honored she choose GingerScraps to venture out into the guesting role! Head over to the forum and give her some love 🙂

Lets get to know her a bit-

*Mel Hains Designes*

melsyframeSmall.jpg

I am Mel from Mel Hains designs and I am TOTALLY addicted to anything scrappy! I started digiscrapping and designing rougly 3 years ago and am now selling my designs at Scrap that Idea. I am very happy to be the Guest designer for Gingerscraps for the month of December! My scrappy style changes as much as my mood does from minute to minute. At this stage I am very fond of the ‘papery’ look, but just about anything goes. I love doodles. My kits will usually have some kind of doodle somewhere, I just love them! I feel very fortunate that big name designers like Kim B, Ellie Lash and Lindsay Jane took the time to replied to my emails to them when I initially started designing, I am still crazy about their stuff! I have a 7 year old daughter named Savannah and live with my partner Damien and my two crazy cats, George and Orwell, in sunny Durban, South Africa. We also have our own photography business which is my other passion. I hope you enjoy my designs here at Gingerscraps! 🙂 My store will be 30% off for the first week, so enjoy the exclusive goodies here at Gingerscraps!

Mel has some Delicious goodies out today! Take a look-

Exclusive to Gingerscraps:

Mother, Wife. A kit for all the hard working women out there! A full kit in retro shades consisting of 14 papers, 42 elements, a full embellished alpha and a FREE add on word art pack!
