Happy Birthday Gingerscraps

Do not adjust your calendar. You’re not confused. It truly is Wednesday, not Friday. Today, Gingerscraps turns FOUR! I cannot believe that it’s been four years. Sometimes it feels like forever, and sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

In the past four years, we’ve seen new designers just starting out, and we’ve seen a few retire. Each year, we add to the Birthday Buffet, and this year is no different! It’s My Birthday has a few new additions!

We still have the previous minis, as well!

As always, the CT had a blast playing with the minis!

Shh!! It’s a surprise. Okay, not really but it’s definitely a sale! That would make the buffet items $1.40 a piece! That’s a gift that keeps on giving!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/B-Day-Bundles

Our designers have also bundled three of their previously released kits for just $5! I have a few in mind that I’m going to be buying, that’s all I have to say!

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite party games is a good old fashion Cake Walk.
You walk around a circle and if you land on a winning number, you get a delicious cake! Well we have our very own digi Cake Walk!
EVERY purchase (of $5.00 or more) you make, between Sep 12th and Sep 16th, will grant you one walk around our cake walk.
If you land on a lucky number (chosen by a random generator) then you will get some delicious goodies! We have new- never released products (cakes) from some of your favorite GS designers, and TWO very lucky winners will receive a $50 shopping spree in the Site Collabs (gingerbread ladies collabs only) section of the GS shop. Over 30 lucky shoppers will go home with a scrumptious cake! All winners will be emailed their prize on Sep 18th. Don’t worry, we will track all purchases, if you spend $25 then that is good for FIVE entries into the cake walk. The more you spend the better your odds will be. Good luck and start shopping!!

It wouldn’t be a party at Gingerscraps without speed scraps! The CT and the Designers are all working together to give you LOTS of speed scraps to enjoy!

There’s also a Scavenger Hunt going on! Have a look through the store, and look for the Gingerbread man! There might be some hints in the forum, to help you in your search!

Another fun game is happening! What’s in the Designer’s purse? You have to match the designer to her purse! Each of them left some clues in the picture. Some might be a little harder than others, but not impossible, I promise!

New Buffet, Guest Designer, So Much More!

Well hi! Didn’t I just see you? Well, write to you, I guess is more accurate!

It’s almost officially fall. Monday, in the States, is Labor Day, the official end of summer. The leaves will be changing from green to browns, and reds, and golds. Or, if you’re on the other side of the globe, from reds, browns, and golds to green again.

Life is beautiful and wonderful like that! There’s something about the changing of the seasons that makes you reflect on the good and happy things in life.

This month, the buffet designed by the Gingerscraps team is perfect for scrapping those moments of reflection. Those moments when you just can’t help but take a picture!

Before I share with you the amazing buffet, it’s September first, which means of course a bake sale!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/-1.00-BakeSale-Sep-1-5/

Now, don’t leave just yet! I know you’re itching to see the sale goodies but I have to show you the buffet, and a few more things first!!

 
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Life-is-Beautiful/

As you can see, the colors are soft but bold, light and dark, perfectly blended into simple elegance. Find the beauty in the every day and enhance it with this gorgeous buffet.

The CT worked so hard putting together some truly beautiful layouts. I know, I keep saying beautiful, but it really does fit, but it really is!

When we switch months, we switch out the Free With Purchase! This month, Pixels by Jen has created September’s new Grab-bag and it is gorgeous! Remember: when you spend $10, you get this for FREE!!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/Family-Tree.html

As we say goodbye to our August Guest Designer, Sugary Fancy, we say hello to September’s Guest Designer, Ocean Wide Designs!

Isn’t she a cutie? We asked her to tell us about herself, and she told us she’d try not to be boring!

I live in Central California with my husband, Jeff, and our furry-babies… Riley, a small terror… I mean, terrier! and our two guinea pigs – Sparkles and Bubbles. Jeff and I love to travel the west coast, we like doing outdoorsy things like hiking, geocaching, kayaking, fishing, camping, etc. I work from home running our small businesses, including the Real Life Scrapped social network! When I have the time I LOVE to read cozy mysteries, bake goodies that go straight to my hips, work off those goodies with Zumba & my treadmill, and do crafty things like crocheting & embroidery.

An animal lover, traveler, adventurer, business owner, and crafter?! That sounds anything but boring! I think she’ll fit right in with the GingerScraps family!

Here are just a few of the designs she’s prepared for her opening. You’ll definitely find something in there that you’ll enjoy!

I think I know what you’re looking for right now. You’re expecting the full-preview of that daily download, aren’t you? Well, okay, since you waited patiently.

As you know, Kathy Winters created August’s daily download, which was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, and SO fun!!


https://store.gingerscraps.net/Happiness-In-Your-Smile.html

Now, this month’s was created by Twin Mom Scraps! It follows the happy theme that both August’s Daily Download and the buffet has. It’s so sweet! I completely love it!!


https://gingerscraps.net/gsblog/2012/09/daily-download-sept-01/

Tell me, doesn’t that just look just perfect for scrapbooking?

Before I say adios and go enjoy some Saturday morning cuddles with my family, I want to let you know that the challenges for August might be over, but September starts them all over again! So, make sure you check out the forum and put those new kits to work!!

See ya again on Friday!!

November Daily Download #11

Hi!  It’s finally Friday!!!

There’s some fun stuff happening today and for the next 11 days!!!  We are having a special 11 day sale of $1 products!  The designers will be switching them out randomly so you’ll need to be checking in daily (at least) to see what’s on sale.  My suggestion – go ahead and fill up your wishlist so that when you see what you want on sale – you can just add it right to your cart!  🙂  Just a suggestion.  lol

If that isn’t enough excitement for you… how about this sale?

We are also having a speed scrap tonight hosted by Marie of Marie H Designs at 9pm EST.  Hope to see  you there!

Also – I’ll be hosting a chat on Saturday night at 10pm EST and we’ll be working on a new forum siggie!  I’ll have a template or 2 for you to use if you’d like to.  Should be a fun hour or so of chatting and getting a little scrapping work done!  I hope you’ll join me – you don’t have to scrap – you can just chat.  I’m totally okay with that!  🙂

And now… here’s day #11:

**Link has Expired**

Have a great day and hope to see you around the forum this weekend!

PS. Don’t forget to thank a veteran today for their service.  11-11-11 is Veteran’s 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!  🙂

*GingerScraps Shop*….. *Blog*….. *Fan Facebook*

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!”

One last thing before I introduce you to out Guest…. A new issue of the GingerScraps Street Magazine came out today! It is Wonder as always!! Packed full of eye candy and inspiration.

https://scrapstreet.com/magazine/magazinehome.htm

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-

Sketchybet

a sketched & skribbled alpha that includes upper & lower case letters, numbers, & select special characters. for personal use, s4o/s4h friendly

Wow! Did you make it all the way to the end!! Now that is a LOT of goodness in one newsletter!

Have fun Shopping! And have a Happy and Safe 4th of July Celebration.

June Daily Download #28 and #29

Hi there!  Are you having a good week?  I hope so.  I’m in recovery mode from my mini-vacation… trying to relax a little and get caught up at the same time.  Maybe not the best combination. 🙂

So – I have a few reminders for you today since we are getting close to the end of the month.  Y’all know I don’t want you to miss out on anything!  First – a few sales:

  • Marshmella Designs is closing up shop as of 7/1 as she moves on to a new venture. Most of her store is either $1 or $3 – believe me when I say – you want to snag these deals!
  • Colie’s Corner still has her shop on sale.  Everything is at least 25% off with some of the summer themed kits even a whopping 40% off!  Wow!
  • Kat’s Creations is our June guest designer.  You want to get her goodies before they are gone.
  • And last but not least – if you spend $10 in the store – you get this amazing grab bag from Pretty in Green for FREE.  As of July 1st – these goodies will be unpacked and sold separately so get them now for a steal!!!

Also, I happen to have the inside scoop on the fact that its time for the 1 year Design-aversary for Pretty in Green next month!  There are oodles of things planned including a blog hop full of freebies and lots of speed scraps.  So be on the lookout for the party in July!!!

Oh!  And – I got a sneak peek at July’s Daily Download yesterday.  It’s from Cari Cruse and called Checkered Past – wait til you see it!  Y’all are going to LOVE it!!!

Okay – enough talking from me.  🙂  Here’s day #28 in the first image and then the second will have the day #29 link.  Enjoy!

Day #28

Day #29

Have a great day!!!
