August Daily Download & Freebies

Can you believe that it’s the first of August already? I can’t! Summer is going by too quickly. August is a great month for so many reason. It’s my birthday, it’s back to school, and it’s my turn to provide the full kit for the Daily Download.

I showed you a sneak peek of the kit last week but here’s the full reveal of what you can score if you are diligent and visit the GingerScraps Blog each day for the pieces to this fun kit. There is still time to snag the first couple of days if you haven’t already but hurry because eventually the links will start to disappear.

If you are a Facebook user, head on over to my fan page and snag this quick page I made with the kit.

I also have a couple of stacked papers designed by members of my creative team, Lisa and Fran. Thanks girls!

A new month also means a new GingerScraps Buffet. This month our theme is sports. Go Team is filled with 94 packs covering just about every popular sport. I love football so I have an element pack and a set of papers in the Buffet this month. Hurry because after 08.05.2012, they revert to full price.

You should also check out the Bake Sale, where you will find items discounted to $1.00 through 08.05.2012. I have my popular Match Made In Heaven buffet items added to the sale this month.

If you missed the mini kits that formed A Day At The Beach over the last couple of weeks, I’ve added it to the store at 25% off.

How about a quick page using the kit?

And since August is such a wonderful month, I designed this piece of WA for the GingerScraps Wordart Challenge. Stop by and play along.

Until next time, have a great weekend everyone!

Christmas In July & Oodles Of Freebies

Hard to believe that half of the year has gone by and before we know it, Christmas will be here. Yup, I said Christmas. Go ahead and confess, you still have Christmas pictures to scrap from last year! Well GingerScraps is here to help with our Christmas In July event.

First up we brought back our popular Christmas buffet from December of 2011. We gave it a new name, new packaging and added new packs from some of our designer that were not with us during the original release. Forty-six (46) products in all to help you build your very own Funky Christmas Mega kit each priced at only $1.00.

We have special challenges, speed scraps and chats planned through Sunday. We also have a really cute Facebook Hop filled with Christmas themed minis and a special sale category in the store filled with Christmas and winter themed items all 50% off. Now is the time to snag some of the goodies you might have on your wish list.

Here’s the schedule of events. I can tell you that the Friday night chat with Terra is always a hoot and I’m hosting a chat on Saturday afternoon. Stop by because I’ve been known to give away goodies.

We’ve got a really cute Christmas themed Facebook Hop in progress as well. Here’s a peak of what you can collect at all the stops.

And my contribution to the hop. Click on the image to visit my Facebook Fan page.

Here is a list of all the stops with the links to their fan pages.

Complete 10 challenges, or attend a speed scrap or chat and you’ll earn points toward a grab bag of goodies provided by your favorite GingerScraps designers.

I’m hosting the Winter Wordart challenge and I’ve created this piece to coordinate with the Facebook Hop.

What’s that? You’d like to see even more freebies! Well, do I have something special to share with you. If you are already a fan of my Facebook page then chances are you’ve already collected my new Exclusive Facebook freebie. If not, you’ll find this under my Fan Freebie tab.

How about an alpha to go with it? My creative team has been having some fun playing around with this kit. Lisa created this cool alpha.

I had this as a quick freebie on my Facebook page but with all the other freebies coming, I had to take it down. Here’s a cute set of journal cards created by April using the kit just for nice.

Phew! I don’t know about you but I’ve got freebie overload. I’ll be back next week to remind you about the daily download and to show you the new GingerScraps Buffet coming August 1st as well.

New Buffet Items and Freebies Galore!

Oh my gosh! I have gotten so bad about posting on my blog and have totally neglected it for 2 months. Shame on me! I got wrapped up in some projects around the house and have had very little time to do any advertising or blogging.

Here it is the 4th of July and summer is well on it’s way. I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. I know I am.

Since it’s the first of the month, we have an all new GingerScraps Buffet ready to go and we have everything you need to scrap your road trip or vacation with our Away We Go buffet. Each piece is available for only $1.00 through July 5th.

We had a lot of fun with this theme and the designers went all out so be sure to check out the entire Away We Go category where you will find 57 items for only $1.00 through July 5th.

I also have a new release in the store that was inspired by a special request from a customer. She was looking for a Pennsylvania Dutch theme to scrap some family layouts. PA Dutch design is filled with hex signs, leaves, flowers, veins, funky looking birds, damask, lots of patterns and bright colors. From this, the kit Just For Nice was born.

I also created a ceramic alpha and set of stacked papers to go along with the kit.

Here are a couple of gorgeous layouts to inspire you.

I also have a couple of freebies to go along with this kit.
First up. A quick page from Deanna.

And this set of Amish word strips by Missy.

I also have a mini kit to share with you. I’m hosting the July Mini Kit Challenge and since the 4th is upon us, I decided to create a patriotic mini for everyone to play with. You can snag it by clicking on the image below, which will take you to the GingerScraps forum.

Here’s a few layouts that have been created for the challenge already.
