Good Morning, Digi Friends!
Well, now, it has only been 4 months now that I have been blogging about the wonderfulness of Gingerscraps and the Sneak Peeks of the Week here in the happiest place on earth, and I just figured out how to insert the header into this page! OHHHH my. Really. Oh my.
Well THANK GOSH it has not taken me 4 months to figure out that Gingerscraps Designers are the best of the best, and the most fabulous and kind hearted people in digi land! That’s for sure!! Yay!!! Kudos and a standing O for the GS designers! (insert applause here if you know how, LOL).
On another note, I hang my head in shame…I did not get my hybrids done this week. I am bummed. We were in need of a new car, and had to shop for one pretty much daily. If I was not online searching, I was out looking and test driving SUVs. We finally brought home a 2005 black Honda Pilot this week. So the “search is over” (yes, sing it with me you Chicago fans!!!!) and I can get back to shopping for back to school supplies for my school counseling office and making my hybrids for my office. FINALLY! Hopefully I will be able to get some done this weekend to show you all how I use my most loved Gingerscraps supplies!
Speaking of which….there will be more in the store this week! Oh, how I love Fridays! Guess what’s coming this week? Well, take a look!!!! Whoo hoo!!! These designers rock my socks every time!!!

Well, digi friends, if that wasn’t a Sneak Peek-a-looza I don’t know what is! I am soooooo excited for Friday when we get to see what comes out of the kitchen at Gingerscraps. I better get a bigger hard drive for all the goodies that will be popping into my cart this weekend. Shazam!!!! This is going to be a fantabulously fun weekend of scrapping!!!! So pull up a mouse, and join me in the Gingerscraps forum while we wait until Friday!

Challenge Spotlight – Daily Download Challenge

Hello ladies and happy Tuesday! How’s your week going? I’m still in vacation mode, a week later! The week already seems so long and we’re only two days into it–ugh! All I want to do is sit in the AC and scrap all my vacation photos. Luckily, I can do that while racking up points towards some awesome rewards with the monthly challenges! 🙂 Today, I am spotlighting a challenge I just finished this week: the daily download challenge hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps!
Last month’s daily download kit was the gorgeous Chill kit by Sugar Kissed Designs. It’s proven to be super popular as I’ve seen so many awesome layouts made with this kit in the gallery! If you didn’t snag the kit when it was last month’s daily download, you can buy it in the store today! Take a look at the beautiful palette:
I love the teal and light blue paired with the pretty green here. It’s soft, but bright and colorful. Definitely one to add to your stash for some awesome spring and summer layouts! I am just loving this kit and the wonderful works of art the forum ladies are making with it. Here’s some inspiration for you!

Awesome LOs, ladies! Especially that last one! hehe (Just kidding!) This kit is seriously pretty and by making a layout with it, you can start earning points towards a free buffet item of your choosing OR a store gift certificate for those of us who can never have too many kits from the GingerScraps shop! 😉
Now it’s time to start scrapping up your points! Make sure you’re tallying them up in the August Challenge Points Tracking thread. The more points you get, the more rewards you get at the end of the month! I’m personally going for that $5 store gift certificate because my name is Christina and I’m a digihoarder. 😉 If you have any questions about this or any of the other monthly challenges, you can drop them off in the Cookie Jar and we’ll get back to you asap!
See y’all next week with another challenge spotlight! Have a great week! 🙂

Weekly Wrap-up: A little bit sugary!

Happy Sunday!
I feel like the weekend is never long enough, it’s always come and gone in a blink of an eye!
I’ve got a little treat for you today! I caught up with Ana of Sugary Fancy and got her to share some fun tidbits about herself. Ana is our Guest Designer for the month of August, and I just love her doodles and her sense of FUN! I asked Ana to take a silly photo of herself – SMOOCHES!
What are three things you MUST have for designing?
Well it depends on the day…. LOL Some days I just need the total silence of the world and sometimes too much silence makes me crazy and then I need some music, something relaxing or inspiring! But I always have tons of folders and many windows opened 🙂 I don’t drink coffee, I mean I drink coffee at morning (breakfast) and at night only… and I’m not that one who is always taking a snack, I usually like to focus on my work only and just drink water… well I can’t say the same about facebook, pinterest, etc. that’s almost always distracting me!! =/ LOL
What is your favorite part about designing?
I love everything about designing… I think I love doodling! hehehe! But yes, I love everything, doing papers is fun, coloring doodles, putting everything on the preview and choosing the best way for it to be.
What was your inspiration for “Little Miss Jolly” ?
First I saw an image with the colors, orange, yellow, pink, brown and I thought that this colors combo would be a good choice for a girlie kit, then I started thinking in about what to draw and add to it!
Do you have a design process? For example, do you plan something out ahead of time or do you just get an idea out of the blue and decide, “Yes, I’ll do that!” ?
I’ll say the same! It will depends on the day and of where my inspiration come from!
Sometimes a theme just pops into my head and I just start taking notes and doing things! And sometimes I’m on the web and find something inspiring and I just start creating! Well I have to say that also, sometimes, my mind is a complete blank sheet bwahaha and then I need to think, take some notes, ask my hubby about a thing and so on! 🙂

Do you have any other hobbies or passions in addition to designing/scrapping?
Oh that’s easy! YES, many many passions, besides almost all kinds of art, I LOVE painting (love painting walls) , home decor (I have a little collection of magazines), craft, dogs, movies, music, chocolates, etc, etc…. LOL
Thank you Ana for indulging us all with a little bit more about your fantastic self!
Guess what? I’ve got more stuffs for you! Yup. Discussion thread is up for August’s Book Club read, What Alice Forgot! If you haven’t started the read yet, that’s okay too! Never too late to join in the fun. 🙂
