GS_blog_FeatureDesigner_Header

Happy Easter everyone! This month we have an awesome two-some feature. Designs by Connie Prince and Trixie Scraps Designs. First up, we’re going to chat with Connie. Let’s see how she answered our fun questions.

Anything primary, bold, & bright!

Coffee

Do you have job outside of designing? If so, what do you do (if you don’t mind sharing)?

What is the current ringtone on your phone?

Mario Brothers music

If you were deserted on an island (with all water/food provided), what three things would you want to have with you?

My family (including the dogs), endless supply of books to read, and my phone.

If you could spend the day with anyone (living or dead) who would it be and why?

Definitely my mom. She passed away in 2011 and I miss talking to her very much.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

I would love to visit Ireland and Australia!

Incredibly silly.

Fresh Baked: April 03, 2015

April is here. Beautiful spring time. Or Fall, if you happen to be from the other hemisphere. The designers are all getting ready for the beautiful weather and colors that are going to popping up!

Before I show you the goodies, I have to share some layouts using our new Buffet and this month’s Monthly Mix is called “Dream Big


Created by scrapjrlgcp. I love the wood pattern paper and the splattered ink/paint. Draws the attention right to the beautiful clusters.


Created by dodgeladee. I love the pictures. Looks like they’re having so much fun!

Fresh Baked: April 01, 2015

This is not a joke. I promise. This is not a joke. This is truly a newsletter full of wonderful goodies!

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)!

The designers all had their own take on what the colors and theme said to them! I love the variety!

The designers knocked it out of the park. The designs are just amazing and so well done!

I’ll be short and sweet, so you don’t think there’s a trick! We’ll be the one site without a trick. At least not in this case!

Last month’s kit was created by SandyPie Creations. It was a funny and cute kit involving hippos!
