Hello, lovely digi friends. I’m so excited today!! I get to introduce a new Gingerbread Lady!!
Please welcome: Pixelily Designs!!
It has been a pleasure getting to know Lily! She is a wonderful addition to the GingerScraps family!! Lily wrote a few words to introduce herself to you all:
“I am Lily Kusumah, a SAHM mother with 2 boys 9 and 5 years old from Jakarta, Indonesia. I am married to my highschool sweetheart hubby. His job brought the family to move around the globe. We’ve been in India and Middle East before coming back to home country. I started designing in 2008, just for fun before I decided to become a designer in 2010 when I started selling as Pixelily Designs. I am a book lover, crafty momma and the family cook (dare not to call myself chef :p). I love photography and my Canon 60D, love sewing and just start quilting, and crazy about batik pattern. Love dimsum and sushi ^_^. Secret admirer of Edward Cullen. That simple
“

Happy Tuesday, ladies! Hope this finds everyone well and starting off the week well! We’re already closing in on the end of May (WHAT?!) so now is crunch time for getting your challenges completed! This week I am spotlighting the scraplift challenge hosted by Sophie of Keep In Touch Designs! We are lifting this really lovely layout from Cherrylej:
Replicating the beauty and detail of this layout may be a little daunting, but the ladies in the forum are seriously doing a great job with this one. Let me share a few of my favorites with you for inspiration! 🙂

Sheesh, if I could post every single layout done for this lift, I WOULD! The pages in the forum are really beautiful; definitely take a minute to stop by and look at them all and leave these ladies some love in the gallery!
Hmm, I seem to have forgotten to mention something really cool: Sophie has been generous enough to offer a bonus incentive for the scraplift challenge this month! Once all the layouts are in at the end of the month, she is going to do a random drawing for a $5 coupon to her store! That’s incentive enough to get you scrapping, right?! Thanks, Sophie!
Alright, I’ll leave you now to start wrapping up those challenges, ladies! Make sure you’re keeping track of your completed layouts in the May Challenge Points Tracking thread. If you’re new to GingerScraps (welcome!) and you have questions about this or any of our other monthly challenges, be sure to stop by the Cookie Jar and drop a line; someone will definitely have an answer to your question! 🙂
Everyone have a wonderful rest of their week, get those layouts in and I will see you all back here next week for the last challenge spotlight for May (eek!). Much love to you all! 🙂

Weekly Wrap-up: May 20, 2012

Hey! Happy Weekend! I don’t know about you, but I’m honestly ready for the weekend to end. I have a good reason for that, though. My husband is off for NINE DAYS STRAIGHT. Oh, and it started today. Oye! Also, my kids are super excited because they are out of school soon. They have Monday all day, are off Tuesday (high school and middle school are in session though), and then have half a day on Wednesday. Then they are done until August something-or-other. :O INSANITY!
Oh wait, that’s a work-out 😉
Anyways, since it’s the end of the school year, which according to a thread in the forum started by @StarWarsFan, a lot of users’ kids get out soon, I figured why not share a couple things that are perfect for those end of the year activities:

Perfect for those grads on your list whom you want to make it just a little special 😀

I’ve got, for some reason, “Be True to Your School” by the Beach Boys stuck in my head when I look at Julie’s word art. I honestly have no idea, but hey, you can share in the fun:

The perfect kit for those end of the year activities. It’s also a new release 😀
Well, it’s the middle of the month, so things are getting kind of quiet. Everyone’s amped up, working on those challenges, and waiting for more information on what’s coming for June’s Buffet.
*shh* Don’t tell anyone, but the theme will be fit for the prince *and* princesses in your life. There was a discussion among the store CT ladies about when their kids were born, and wow, there were a lot of June babies. Most seemed to be girls too 😀
There’s also been given a hint (to the store CT) about the July buffet. I’m not going to give out any clues minus this: it’s a requested theme. There, that’s a hint 😀
Okay, I’m thinking that might be it :O
Before I sign off, I just want to send out a reminder that Statements by Jodi is having a retirement sale. I just wanted to say, personally, that Jodi, we’ll miss your designs, and we hope to at least still see you around the digiscrapping world!
