Fresh Baked for June 15, 2012

It’s almost summer! Summer officially starts June 20th in this hemisphere. That’s less than a week from now! I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for all those summer activities to start. Do you have any big plans? This week, the designers have definitely had summer on their minds. Spending time with family, playing in the dirt, getting fit, all of that good stuff!

Before I give you the amazing kits that the designers have cooked up, we have some sales we want to share with you.


https://store.gingerscraps.net/Unforgettable-Moments/

Roseytoes is also having a sale! 50% off most items, collab kits are $5, bundles are $8!

Don’t go just yet! There’s still some amazing kits to come!

Remember, when you spend $10 at the store, you receive an amazing grab bag. This month’s grab bag is by Unforgettable Moments. It’s perfect for the males in your life! June is the month of Father’s Day (at least in the States), so this would completely suit a hybrid project or layout for the special man in your life!

It’s always more fun
To share with everyone!

So let the sharing begin!!!!

Challenge Spotlight – Color Challenge

Good morning, ladies! Sorry I’m a little late on this morning’s blog; it’s been a hectic, emotional week for me, BUT I’m psyched to bring you this week’s challenge spotlight! This week, I’m spotlighting June’s color challenge hosted by Roseytoes Designs! Ryan has picked a really great palette for us to work with this month, it’s a little masculine just in time for Father’s Day, but neutral enough to work with any layout! Here’s what she’s chosen:

So pretty! I love that sage green and beige. (Am I biased because this is essentially my bathroom color palette? Maybe!) Ryan has picked out some great kits that include these colors; make sure you stop by the color challenge thread to see those and get some ideas on which kits to use!

The ladies in the forum have already been hard at work creating some lovely LOs with these colors. If you need a little inspiration for your own scrap,  take a look at these!

By sparkysgirl

By hivart

From a masculine father layout to a lovely, feminine heritage layout–you ladies did an excellent job making this color palette your own! I can’t wait to see what YOU will do with this, too! 🙂

That’s it for me! If you have any questions about this or any of our other monthly challenges, you can direct those to the Cookie Jar! All the fabulous GS ladies are ready to help in any way possible and answer any questions you may have about the challenges or scrapping in general! Until next week! <3

Weekly Wrap-Up: Sales, CT Calls, Book Club OH MY!

Good morning!

I’ve got lots of little tidbits to share with you!

First, today is the LAST day to get Pixelily’s shop at 50% OFF! In honor of her grand opening here at GingerScraps her entire shop is on sale!

She’s definitely become a fast favorite of mine, and I’ve certainly taken advantage of her Grand Opening Sale! 😉 If there is anything you’ve had your eye on, today is the last day to grab it at half off!!

 

In case you missed last week’s wrap-up, there are two CT calls happening right now, one for Z Pink Boudoir Designs and one for JenC Designs!

I’m happy to see that we’ve had a few new members join our forum! It’s always exciting “seeing” new faces, meeting new friends! I love watching our community grow and grow. 🙂  One of the things I love most about the DigiScrapVerse is just how..vast it is! People from ALL over the world come together to share themselves through digital scrapbooking. Truly awesomeness.

Let’s see, what other little exciting tidbits do I have to share with you?

How about another sale? And with Father’s Day just a week away this is doubly awesome!

Connie Prince’s Dear Dad kit is on sale for over 50% OFF right now! I have had my eye on this kit for quite some time, and took this opportunity to snag ALL the coordinating packs to it as well!

In addition, there are some great wordart pieces by Kathy Winters Designs available in our store as well!

Before I wrap up the wrap-up 😉 I’ve got to stick in just a couple more quick little bits!

One, don’t forget about GingerScraps Book Club! This month we’re reading Nicholas Sparks’ The Lucky One. I’ve, personally, never read a Nicholas Sparks novel, but am quite looking forward to it! Also, make sure you go vote for next month’s book in the Pick Our Book Poll! There are some terrific books on the poll for July, don’t forget to vote for the one YOU want to read! 🙂  And now that I got totally excited about our book club, I forgot the other thing I wanted to say!  …and with a little prodding of my crazy mind I totally remembered!  The second little bit I wanted to leave you with was our Ask the Designer upcoming post! We need YOU, our gorgeous community to come up with questions to ask the designers! Have a burning question you’re just dying to know? Check out the forum thread where you can pose it to all three of June’s featured designers or just one specifically. 🙂

Okay, now it’s time for me to refill my empty coffee cup and get some good scrap time in today!  The heat is forcing me inside- to which I don’t mind one bit 😉 Time to get scrappy with it! Bwahaha! 🙂

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, wherever you are spending it!
