Weekly Wrap-up: It’s a new month!

I do so love it when the new month starts on a Friday- it’s like super bonus with the buffet and new releases and new challenges and and and..!
Since our newsletter just delivered you the royal treatment, I want to quick go over some things coming up. The end of the month can be so drab and quiet with all the finishing of challenges and some of us still recovering from iNSD, plus Summer is in full affect most places and I sure hope that means everyone is outside making memories!
First up, GingerScraps Book Club!
Our read for the month of June is The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks! I personally have never read a Nicholas Sparks book, but I hear they are fantastic so I can’t wait to start this one as my first! JoyLynn is also looking for some input, she wants to know what you want to see every month in the book club, she’s open to any suggestions!
Next, make sure to check out the Bake Sale happening RIGHT NOW!
You only have until June 5th to grab as much as your can for just $1 and let me tell you, there are some real surprises in this months bake sale! Do NOT miss this!
Did you know there is a brand-spanking-new challenge this month hosted by Jenn of Joyful Heart Designs? It’s a brush challenge! For the first month, she chose a wicked cool bird brush set. Brushes can be used for anything! I know Jenn can’t wait to see what you all come up with, and neither can I!
Guess what? Z Pink Boudoir Designs is having a CT call! Join the Zeee-speration!
Guess what else?! JenC Designs is having one too! JenC is looking for Guest CTs for the summer months – but there’s a twist! More than one way to enter and more than one way to grab some of her super cute goodies!
Good luck to BOTH designers on their calls!
Now, to wrap-up the wrap-up (HA!), with the sunny days and the weather heating up, who’s ready for their summer do’s? Renee (MnMommy2) got everyone talking about hair (cuts, styles, color)! Which of course, got me thinking- I need a hair cut myself! Except, I’m one of those that loves the cut for a few days then immediately misses my long hair so any drastic cuts are out of my future- but what about all of you? Who is getting a new do for summer, and more importantly will you scrap the before and after? 😉

Hello digi friends! I hope you are ready for some AMAZING goodies today!! Once in a while something very exciting happens….. Fresh Baked (new releases) AND all the 1st of the month reveals (Buffet, Bake Sale, our new Guest Designer) happen to land on the same day!! Do you know what that means for you!!?? One mouth watering newsletter! Packed to the brim with goodness!! We hope you enjoy every morsel.
First, let me tell you about the Bake Sale. Run over to the shop and get these goodies fast! Each month, from the 1-5th, our designers add products to the Bake Sale. Everything in the Bake Sale is $1.00!!
Also included in the $1.00 Sale is our new Buffet for June!! This month our Buffet is “Once Upon A Time“, full of magical whimsy and happily ever afters, you will not want to miss these enchanting products!
Once Upon a Time, in a land far away, where Gingerbread Men danced with joy, there was a Queen, full of whit and pip. She had many maidens, whom she could not do without …
Oh wait. Sorry, I went off into a fantasy land there for a second. I look at this adorable buffet, and I honestly cannot resist falling into a world of make-believe. I’m so totally in love with this whole series!
As you can tell, the amazing Gingerbread CT girls couldn’t resist it either. Everyone put so much wonderful work into it. It doesn’t have to be just little kid stuff, either. All of us have a dream, deep inside, of a happily ever after! Why not find yours with this amazing buffet?
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!

I know your ready to run over to the shop right now!! But WAIT, I still have so much to tell you!!! I’m so so very excited to tell you that our May Guest Designer, Jen C Designs, loves GingerScraps so much… she is STAYING!!! Yahooo!! Our family is growing by leaps and bounds. I’m loving it!!

And now I get to tell you who our June guest is!!! Are you ready??!! Our June guest: May Sholz, of Siamese Studio! Welcome May!!
https://store.gingerscraps.net/Siamese-Studio
We asked May to tell us a little about herself, and she gave us some pretty good insight into her! I’m excited to get to know her better!!
My name is May and I live in Bangkok, Thailand with my hubby. We have one daughter, Janice who is four years old. I started digi-scrap while I was pregnant then started to design not so long after that. I love to design as much as I love to write. So I do both designing and writing. I write novels and had five books published, but have been hiatus from writing since my daughter was born. I’m trying hard to finish my next novel this year.
Besides of designing and writing, I also love to take pictures. Especially with my phone since I always have it with me.
Here are just a few of the kits that she has available in her store right now!
