Good morning! How’s your day going so far? It’s been a busy week here at Gingerscraps! Monday, we had SEVEN new designers join us! Amazing stuff. This week is full of beach fun, puppies and kittens, and even fancy nights out! The designers went and filled this newsletter to the brim with goodness!
Before I show you them, I want to share the July 2013 {Designer’s Choice} buffet layouts, and the monthly mix, Summer Beach Party!, that were chosen this week!
Created by melissavt. I love the signs! It’s a wonderful layout!
Created by MSPeeler. I love the cluster work. It’s amazing! The life-preserver as a frame is just perfect.
Created by chigirl. I love the addition of “driver’s licenses” to the layout. The trail of cars is a perfect little accent!

Happy Thursday everybody!! I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. In my neck of the woods it’s been HOT, HOT, HOT!!
Our designers have been busy and I have a lot of goodies to show you.
Craft-tastrophic Designs has some fun new kits coming out on Friday. The layouts that were done are beautiful. I just love that little giraffe.
These layouts make me want to take a dip in the pool. I love the patterned papers and look at all those swirls.
Keystone Scraps is a new designer with GingerSscraps and from what I can see I am already in love with her style.
Little Rad Trio is also new to GingerScraps and her designs look fantastic. The templates that were used are by Blue Heart Scraps. Aren’t they just wonderful!
Pretty In Green has this kit coming and it looks great! I love the pine trees and outdoorsie feel to it.
Connie Prince has a really cute bundle coming your way. I have seen the entire thing and I have to say it’s becoming one of my new favorites. The colors are fantastic and the elements are just adorable.
Well I don’t know about you, but I know I can’t wait till Friday so I can get my hands on these goodies in the store. I hope everyone has a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

July Feature Designer part 3!
Jul
16
2013
Hello, hello! I’m back a day late but I’ll pretend it’s fashionably so.
The final installment for our July Feature Designer, Rachel of Pretty in Green starts now (If you missed part 1 and 2 find them here and here)! Today we’re going to share a little bit of the present, past and satisfying Rachel’s sweet tooth. I’m also going to stick in a couple of my favorite kits created by Pretty in Green to help if you’re unsure what to use her totally rad awesome coupon on (see end of post for said totally rad awesome coupon).
With Summer in full swing, everyone is out making memories, I asked Rachel to share one of her recent favorite memories in photo form.
Makes me think of one of my favorite Pretty in Green kits, King of the Jungle. A surprisingly versatile kit, I love the thought of using it for zoo trips, for my son’s love of a certain animated lion cub and the warm colors would be just lovely for that time of year when the leaves start to turn.
Moving from the present to the past, I was able to get my hands on a photo of Rachel from years past, High School to be exact! Seriously, her smile, it’s contagious!
You’re smiling right now, you can’t help it.
Thinking back to High School is often a roller coaster of ‘it was the best of times, it was the worst of times’ for many. For me personally it was a time when I should have believed more in myself, in my own beauty (and smarts!) and not relied so heavily on what others thought or cared for. Because of that, I’m immediately drawn to Pretty in Green’s I am Beautiful kit. It might just be in my top two as far as favorites from her collection of designs. It’s simple, subtle and the message is clear as day, [You] are beautiful. Don’t forget it.
Time for some more Q&A!
What is the last book you read?
eek! Is it bad to say I don’t read books, I wait for the movie? LOL! I do make time for my kids to read and I read to them, so to answer your question what was the last book, it was Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? by Dr. Seuss.
How do you feed your sweet tooth?
A better question would be, how don’t I feed my sweet tooth? I don’t eat red meat, but I don’t eat a lot of veggies either, so I jokingly say I’m a sweet-tarian, LOL! I love chocolate but French toast is my all time favorite!
Last and certainly the most important question, 😉
What is your favorite thing about GingerScraps.net?
Gosh what’s not to love? Really, I discovered Ginger Scraps when I discovered Digi Scrap, and I have stuck around since. It’s full of great friendly people, and I get to work with some of the most talented women ever!
Here, here! Now, for that coupon I mentioned at the beginning of the post:
Remember, one per customer and if you need help finding just the right kit I’ll share with you two more of my absolute favorites:
Thank you, Rachel, for letting us get to know you better and as an added bonus, here is a sneak peek of her NEWEST release coming THIS Friday!
Happy scrapping friends!
Challenge Spotlight – Mini Kit Challenge
Jul

2013
Good morning, all! Hope everyone had a great weekend; mine was not long enough, as usual! We’re already mid-July (eek!) and it’s time for another challenge spotlight. This week, I am writing about a rad challenge with a freebie: the mini kit challenge hosted by Wendy of Wendy Tunison Designs! Wendy brought her unique style to this month’s mini; check it out:
LOVE. IT. Wendy’s minis are never truly mini, so there’s lots of fun vintage elements here to work with. Not surprising, this challenge has been popular this month with bunches of layouts pouring in! Take a look at a few of my favorites for inspiration…

Absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, I am loving this mini and adoring these layouts. All three of these pages have the same “junky vintage” feel, but are vastly unique. That is the sign of some talented scrappers working with a well-designed kit. 🙂
Remember, the month is now officially half over! Make sure you’re tracking your completed challenges in the July 2013 Challenge Tracking Thread. You’ll want to get all your challenge credits so you can snag yourself an awesome reward once July is over. 🙂
That’s it for this week! Stop by again next week! 🙂
