Good morning! We’re over halfway through with April, and Spring and Spring-like colors are definitely the theme of the week. So many gorgeous kits by the designers. I can’t even begin to attempt to choose a favorite, but I’m sure you’ll find something that you’ll find perfect for yourself!

Speaking of wonderful designs, I picked out some, in my opinion, wonderful layouts this week. All three are using the Nature’s Delight buffet.

Beautiful layout by catgoddess. I love the clustering and the layers. The photo treatment is wonderful as well!

Wonderful hybrid by mamaape. I love hybrid projects and this one looks so realistic. I want to reach out and see if it’s just awesome shadows or really glued!

Adorable layout by Colleen. I love the circular pictures. The floating flowers just makes the layout so much more fun and playful.

And now, on to the amazingness that are the designers here at Gingerscraps!

Good morning! This week is the week of the templates! Several of the designers have created templates. There’s even a Hybrid project thrown into the mix. There are some great spring-related kits as well. So much goodness this week!

Speaking of goodness, I picked out some, in my opinion, wonderful layouts this week. Again, two are of the Nature’s Delight buffet, and the third is using the April Monthly Mix, Fresh Air.

Created by mamaape, using the buffet. I love the use of the word arts, and the beautiful cluster work. It’s just such a beautiful layout.

Created by Scrapper, with Nature’s Delight. I love how the whole layout has an old-time feel to it, and matches so well to the pictures.

Created by chigirl, using Fresh Air. I love the use of the white space, and the graph paper strip to label where and when the pictures were taken. The pictures make me wish it was warmer!

And now, on to the amazingness that are the designers here at Gingerscraps!

This month, we also have a new item that will be released on the 1st of the month. The Monthly Mix, which used to release around the middle of the month, will now be releasing on the first! So much goodness going on right now!

This month’s buffet is called Nature’s Delight. It says spring and so much more! The designers did such a beautiful job with it!

It’s Spring! Are you excited for Easter? Did you observe Passover? No matter which holiday you observe, this month has been all about family. This week, Gingerscraps is adding to their family! Wendy Tunison Designs has joined our team! We’re so excited to have her.

This week, we also have some great templates from Angelclaud. Crisdam Designs has some wonderful extras that would be perfect for Project 365. She’s not the only one! Connie Prince’s April Project 2013 collection is available, as well. SO much fun stuff. There’s SO much more to share, too much to list in just this little paragraph, so make sure you read on!

The Lucky Me buffet, in my own personal opinion, would really work well for any sort of layout, including some Easter ones, so make sure you pick them up!

Layout created by jbdolfin. I love that someone used the Green Beer elements. It is so funny to me! I love this layout!

Creative layout by swastinadia. The clusters are amazing. I love the blending, and how the journaling is incorporated into the layout. Beautiful layout!

Created by mdusell. I just love the picture. The colors fit so beautifully with the pieces!

Oh Friday!! How you sneak up on us always. This week, Pretty in Green created some frames that work with every kit in the store, including the new Project 365 themed packs that Kathy Winters put together. There’s sixteen packs in that series, and she’s hinted at more. Connie Prince, Bekah E Designs, Twin Mom Scraps, and Blue Heart Scraps all have some adorable Easter-themed kits. Jimbo Jambo, our guest for March, has a great template series available. That’s not everything either!

So, Sunday was St. Patrick’s Day but that doesn’t mean the “lucky” feeling needs to end! Make sure you check out the Lucky Me buffet and pick up a few packs.

Funny layout by mom2triplets04. I’m glad I’m not the only one with an addiction to web-based games. Mine’s Candy Crush Saga.

Beautiful layout by zenjen. I love the journaling. So sweet and heartfelt.

Project 365 layout by Juliemomof4. A great show of how the different parts can play together. I love it!

Happy Friday Gingerscraps Fans! This week, the designers really created some amazing things! Angelclaud, Jimbo Jambo Designs, and ViolaMoni have amazing and fun templates to work with. Pixelily, Trixie Scraps, and Connie Prince have some great bundles that will fit any scrap page you might want to make. If you’re on the hunt for good CU, Bekah E Designs has wonderful grab bag for you!

Speaking of good things, I found some seriously ADORABLE layouts for y’all to admire! I’m definitely loving the theme of “Lucky Me” and I can tell that it’s a theme everyone else is loving.

I love this layout by beckyroy. She is definitely a McCutie. I love the clusters on the side. I wish I could do it that well!

I always adore layouts by trina513. This one is no exception. I love the use of white space. The minimal amount of elements just makes the pictures stand so out. I also love the font choice!

A many photos layout by MamaCake. I love how the pictures are arranged in a circular fashion. And I love the way the little clusters just draw your eyes more to the pictures.

Before I show you the goodies the designers have in store for you, I just wanted to let you know about a speed scrap happening Saturday!

We’re already a week into March. I cannot believe it. Soon, we’ll be doing the pinching if you’re not wearing the green. That’s next Sunday, in case you’re curious. Me, I love this holiday.

Today, I might not be saying “Lucky Me” because my kids are off today, but I’m saying it about y’all! The designers worked hard getting things out for you this week, and I also picked out a few of some gorgeous layouts created by some members of the forum!

Created by Lyndsfairne. I love the use of the word art, the clustering. It’s jut beautiful!

Created by hivart. Sheeps! I love sheeps. Yes, I typed sheeps. They’re adorable! The layout is quite beautiful as well!

Hilarious layout created by tammyshere. I seriously laughed at the journaling. I love hearing the stories behind pictures like this!

Bye February! You never stay around long enough for us to even adjust to the fact that it’s a new month, and then you’re gone. Can you believe that we’re at March already? Sixteen days until green beer, gold coins, and when everyone becomes Irish. At least that’s how it feels. As the mom of a St. Patrick’s Day child, it’s a fun holiday for us to celebrate.

The colors surrounding March seems to always be rainbows, and this month’s buffet is no exception. It’s such a fun and happy buffet, as well. You’ll be saying “Lucky Me” when you scrap with it!

The designers really showed their playful sides with this buffet!

We went with a video, to help save on loading times. Let us know what you think! To disable the sound on this video just click the speaker symbol on the player.

The CT had a lot of fun finding pictures that fit the theme, and I think that they did a great job, as well!

I just love how wonderful all of their layouts turned out! To disable the sound on this video just click the speaker symbol on the player.

Since it’s a new month, it’s time for a BAKE SALE! I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE the bake sale! You never know what you’re going to find in there, but it’s always something that you just can’t live without!

Remember, that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag created by one of our amazing designers. This month, Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs created a wonderful one for y’all!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/March-2013-FWP-Grab-Bag.html

Today, I’m so excited to tell you that we have a new designer joining the team.

Tracy of Trixie Scraps Designs!

Tracy, aka Trixie of Trixie Scraps Designs, happily opens her shop with us today! She has over 10 years of experience as a scrapbooker, beginning first with paper and switching to digi in 2007. In October 2008, she opened her first store as a digital designer and has never looked back! Tracy just recently relocated to the Kansas City area with her husband Erick and their two dogs, Diamond and Lucy. She’s a devoted aunt to three nieces, one nephew (and one on the way) and she spends a lot of time with her cousin’s three little boys, as well. She loves popcorn-flavored Jelly Bellys, Mexican food, country music and reality TV. Trixie’s catalog is chuck full of stunning collections, complete with gorgeous paper patterns, versatile "paper scrap" style elements, and plenty of add-ons to help you complete beautiful pages quickly and easily. We are sure you will find lots to love in her new store here at Ginger Scraps!

Here are just a few of her designs that she has here at Gingerscraps:

Wow! It’s time to reveal February’s Daily Download!

Last month, Monica, of ViolaMoni had provided a SERIOUSLY cute kit!

I love the non-traditional love colors! I don’t know about you, but I crave chocolate every time I saw the preview. Excuse me while I run out and grab some chocolate real quick.

Okay, I’m back! Did you miss me? Okay, sorry, I’ll stop now.

This month, Pixelily Designs has lovingly created an adorable kit for y’all!

https://gingerscraps.net/gsblog/2013/03/daily-download-march-01/

I see an ellie-phant! otherwise known as an “elephant”!

Remember, the links are only up for about 5 days. After that, they’re removed, so if you miss a download, you’ll have to wait until the next month to buy the kit!

Oh, don’t think we’re done yet! It’s FRIDAY! That means even more fresh baked goodness!

So many great and amazing designs! I’m having troubles deciding what I’m going to get first! I’m sure you’re having the same problem!

It’s always a sad moment when a designer decides that it’s time for her to retire. Char, of Wyld Web Designs has made that decision. Before she leaves, she wanted to have one last hoorah, so take advantage of this great sale while you still can!

Char, we’ll miss you, and we wish you all of the best in your future endeavors!

Connie Prince wanted to make sure that I let y’all know about her sale!!

With that, I bid you adieu. Enjoy your weekend!

Good morning! We have had a lot of snow in this area. We haven’t seen this much snow since 2011. It’s sort of crazy how much snow we had. It makes me very thankful that we have a four-wheel-drive vehicle in which my husband can drive to work. The kids are enjoying the snow days, though.

This week, I only chose one Buffet layout to showcase because we have TWO Monthly Mixes releasing.

A hilarious layout by Juliemomof4. I love how not-serious it is. Fits the family perfectly 😉

Now, I mentioned TWO monthly mixes!! The first one is from December 2012. It was showcased but not officially released. Now it is!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Monthly-Mix-Chill-In-The-Air.html

Created by trina513. I love this. The happy faces and the smiles just make me grin!

And this is THIS month’s! TWO! Awesome!

https://store.gingerscraps.net/Monthly-Mix-What-Makes-A-Family.html

Layout created by jenevang. I love the sepia photo treatment.

So, two monthly mixes. I know! I’ve said it a lot, but they’re both SO unique and different and fit for so many occasions!

Remember, that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag created by one of our amazing designers.

Happy Day after Valentine’s. Anyone else gorge themselves way too much on chocolate? I know that I did. I think that’s the point of Valentine’s Day. Right? Oh well if it’s not. It’s how we celebrate it.

I am loving looking at the love-filled layouts with this month’s buffet, Listen to Your Heart. I picked from the Buffet Challenge gallery this week, and if you’re wanting an “easy” challenge to do, this is definitely one for you!

Created by our own Spotlight Challenge host, Ambelleina. I have to giggle at the pictures. I love layouts that talk about why they love their significant other!
