2012

Well, hello! Welcome to August. Can you believe it? NUTS! Right?

It’s time for the new daily download!! Before I do, I thought I’d let you know that we’re changing things up with the daily download.
No, don’t worry, we’re not doing anything major, just how we’re going to show it off!!

With the preview, sometimes you don’t know if you’re going to like the kit. Well, now, we’re going to show off some layouts, at least once a week! You’ll be able to see exactly what’s coming, based on the layouts.

We hope you enjoy!!

Now, I can’t show you August’s amazing kit, I have to show off July’s, in full!!

Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs did an amazing job on July’s kit. I’ve been craving ice cream since I saw it, and well, you might too!!

It’s so bright, sunny, and airy. Just beautiful!!

And a couple layouts her CT made with it 😀

Challenge Spotlight–Signature Challenge

Jul

2012

Good morning ladies! Sorry this is a little late; I am going on vacation this week and I’ve been swamped trying to get all the “little things” done before I go! Eep!

Today is the LAST DAY OF JULY–what?! That means you have to get all your monthly challenge points in tonight! Make sure you visit the July Challenge Points Tracking thread and get everything in so you can be the winner of a shiny new buffet kit or store gift certificate! 🙂

I will do a quick spotlight of an easy challenge you can do to get your last point in! This is one you can snap together in a few minutes and enjoy all month: the Signature Challenge hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps!

This month’s siggy challenge was simply to make one representing you country’s colors! With 4th of July in the US and Canada Day in Canada (of course), the forum has been swamped with patriotic pride in digiscrap form! Let’s peek at a few of the cute siggies the girls have been sporting over the last month!

Cuteness! I just love the cute little maple leafs on the Canada siggy and all the stars on the USA ones! The old red, white and blue has never looked better! 🙂

If you haven’t done this challenge and you need an extra point, DO IT! It’s super easy and you can sport your siggy for a bit before you come up with something new for August. 🙂

Remember, the new challenge rewards system started in July; stop by the thread and read up before you hit the tracking thread and tally up your points! Again I say: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO GET YOUR JULY POINTS IN! Make sure you’ve got everything posted in the challenge threads and in your tracking thread for credit!

If you have any question about this or any of our monthly challenge, please direct your queries to the Cookie Jar and someone fabulous will be along shortly to help you. 🙂

Tomorrow is the first day August–AHH! Fall, fairs, football, back to school: I can’t wait! I’ll be back next week with a new challenge for the new month. Have a wonderful week, ladies! 🙂

Weekly Wrap-Up: Got your eyes on the prize?

Jul

2012

Good morning ya’ll!

Late start for me this Sunday, woke up with a crick in the neck and while I was putting away clean dishes I suddenly needed to reorganize my Tupperware cupboard. Yup. So, now I’m here, with my fresh cup of Butter Toffee flavored coffee (just a quick splutz [that’s a word, I promise] of milk) and ready to dawdle on through what will undoubtedly be a very lazy Sunday.

Enough about me!

Let’s talk scrap!

The biggest thing happening around here is our Christmas in July celebration! Please kindly crawl out from your rock if you were unaware of this. 😉 We’ve been so excited about all the activities and PRIZES – OH THE PRIZES! – that it’s been quite difficult to contain our exuberance. Today wraps up our celebrations, so if you’ve got any last minute layouts to finish for the special challenges, or want to pop into one last chat (a story speed scrap!) with Pixels by Jen (2:00PM EST!) then now is your chance! Have you been keeping track of your event points? Got your eyes on the BIG prize?

If you earn a total of 10 points by Sunday July 29th at midnight EST, you will receive this special gift from our GingerScraps Designers!!

Check out the Christmas in July thread for all the details!

One of the challenges you can complete for our Christmas in July(CiJ) celebration is the Hybrid Ornament – which I am working on making several of for Holiday gifts! Simple, personal and, obviously, awesome.

Christmas Hybrid Ornament

Even after the CiJ has wrapped up there is no reason NOT to get a jump on your Holiday gifts! I know with the endless supply of goodies that GingerScraps creates for us I’m certain to actually get my gifts completed BEFORE December 24th this year. You know, like December 23rd. 😉

December will be here before you know it- yes summer is still in full swing, and I am expecting some very warm August days to come but yes, AUGUST! There are only three days left of July! HOLY MOLY! I’ve come to the conclusion that there is indeed a time thief among us. Get ready though, August is bringing some phenomenal things to GingerScraps (as if any other day doesn’t already 😉 ). However, soak up the last few days of July by shopping PsychoZoe’s Retiring Sale.

For example, the must-have Fun With Tulle Templates

Don’t miss these, get them now before they are gone! Don’t forget to browse our ENTIRE store either, so many of our Designers having many items on sale through today. If you’re new to us (HELLO!) totally take advantage of our Christmas in July extravaganza!

And remember if you spend $10 in our store you get this HUGE Grab-bag for FREE!

Speaking of new, I’ve seen so many fresh smiling faces (emoticons 😉 )in the forum that it warms my scrappy heart! WELCOME WELCOME! I hope each and every one of you gets your fluffy bunny slippers on and makes GingerScraps your cozy little corner of the web. We LOVE having you here!

With that, I’m wrapping up this wrap-up to go and get scrappy with it.

Have a scrap happy Sunday my friends!

The last week of July! Our fun stay-cation, mini-vacation is almost at an end. I’m excited to see what August brings, but wow, July flew right on through!

The designers were hard at work doing things for Christmas in July, but they still were able to put out things for today as well!!

There’s also a sale still going on! Winter and Christmas themed goodies! At rock-bottom prices!! You’ll never see the prices this low again!

Remember that when you spend $10 in the store, you get an amazing grab bag. This month’s was created by Ryan, of Roseytoes, and it’s JAM-PACKED full of stuff.
