Be Jolly – December Buffet Collection & Freebie!

Happy December!  I can’t believe the year is almost over – I promise it feels like 2017 just started and we’re already nearing the start of 2018!  December and Christmas festivities are already in full swing around my house — that means Christmas trees and gingerbread houses and lots of Fa La La.  I LOVE the holiday season. The hope and joy and love and excitement that comes from giving. It just makes my heart smile.  And, that was the inspiration for my December Buffet Collection, Be Jolly

Christmas is such a festive time of year! Much more than just a holiday, in my world it is all these feelings that fill me up with the spirit of the season. The traditional reds and greens in my new Be Jolly Collection evoke memories of happiness and peace. Family traditions are represented with the word strips and journal card sentiments. Here’s wishing you all a very happy time of year!

All individual pieces are on sale 50% off through December 5th, or you can save even more when you buy the bundled collection for just $5!

Collection Bundle includes: full kit (24 papers, 66 elements), and 5 coordinating packs: alphas, flairs, journal cards, ombre papers and smatters




Check out the gorgeous layouts from my Creative Team — if these don’t get you in the festive Christmas spirit, I don’t know what will! 🙂


I also have a new challenge in the GingerScraps Forum for you — the A Year of Blessings December Challenge.  This month, I’m providing you with the adorable word art piece below (available in layered PSD and TIF, and PNG file formats so that you can customize it as you wish).  Simply download and create a beautiful new layout to earn points towards a free reward collab at GingerScraps!

And last, but certainly not list, a beautiful quick page to coordinate with this month’s buffet collection, created by one of my super talented CT ladies, Judith

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals End Today!

Today is the last day to take advantage of the GingerScraps Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.  That means the 50% off storewide sale, as well as the three $5 Grab Bag deals I have end tonight — so don’t miss out!

And a quick peek at the three $5 Grab Bags I have available:

First, a Build Your Own $5 Grab Bag — the perfect opportunity to stock up on several Blue Heart Scraps products for a great deal!  Pick any 5 of my products (bundles, collabs and grab bags excluded) for just 5 dollars – time to knock that wish list down a bit!


Be Happy is filled with bright colors and happy word strips, uplifting messages and joyful fun…and hopefully a small reminder that the happiness and brightness around me can help me focus on finding that in myself and my life. I want to see the happiness around me, and I hope this kit brings that to you, too!

Some days, I manage to see the happiness that I seek so much. Other days? This wife/mom/woman is just DONE.  Done with being in charge, done with responsibilities, and done with being an adult.  For days like that, the Not Today Collab $5 Grab Bag is perfect!

I also have two more fabulous new $5 Grab Bags on sale this week — the first is the newest addition to my ‘Be’ Series, Be Happy.  I’ve never been silent about my struggles with depression and OCD (coupled with anxiety).  It means that sometimes, life is good and beautiful and wonderful.  Other times? I struggle. Hard. Lately, I’ve been struggling. Very, very hard.  But when I’m at my worst, I try to remind myself that things DO get better, and that I CAN be happy — it may just take a while.  Be Happy is filled with bright colors and happy word strips, uplifting messages and joyful fun…and hopefully a small reminder that the happiness and brightness around me can help me focus on finding that in myself and my life. I want to see the happiness around me, and I hope this kit brings that to you, too!

I also teamed up with Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs for another fabulous collab $5 Grab Bag, Not Today. Some days, I manage to see the happiness that I seek so much. Other days? This wife/mom/woman is just DONE.  Done with being in charge, done with responsibilities, and done with being an adult.  For days like that, the Not Today Collab $5 Grab Bag is perfect!

Be Grateful $5 Grab Bag

Happy Friday!  It’s new release day at GingerScraps and I have a gorgeous new $5 Grab Bag collection that I can’t WAIT for you to see!  Inspired by gorgeous jewel tones, perfect for the autumn season, and the attitude of gratitude we all need to have this holiday season.

When I picked the colors for Be Grateful, I thought of my mom. Two years ago this week, she suffered a medical emergency that left me frozen in fear.  For two long weeks we waited, hoping beyond hope (and anxiously awaiting the results of test after test) that the doctors could do something to help her.  In the end, she withstood a difficult, stressful, and medically scary year and a half…but she survived, and that’s what matters most.  Last Friday, she celebrated her 70th birthday (though she might kill me to know I posted that year for all to see, lol)…and so my mind these past few weeks has been filled with the realization of just how blessed we are in this life, even when it’s not an easy one. I hope the love for my mother shines through in this special kit, and helps you document all that you are grateful for, too.


BeGrateful $5 Grab Bag
There are so many things in this life to be thankful for, and the Be Grateful $5 Grab Bag is the perfect digital scrapbooking kit to help you easily scrap about them all!
$5 Grab Bag includes:
full kit (7 plain/14 patterned papers and 66 elements)
8 journal cards
12 flairs

Chevron Love Templates & Freebie!

Happy Friday morning!  If we’re being honest, I’m actually typing this Thursday night. The boys are out of school on Friday in honor of Veteran’s Day…so I’m REALLY hoping to be sound asleep until much later in the day than I usually am on a Friday (making sure my oldest is up and dressed by 6:15am to head to the bus stop is wearing my old bones out fast, lol)

I’m sure it’s a beautiful morning for a fabulous new release, though…which is a good thing, because I have a wonderful new set of templates just waiting to help you get creative!

Chevron Love Template Pack
Includes 4 layered templates in PSD, TIF, individual PNG file formats, and PAGE file formats

Check out the gorgeous layouts by my oh so talented CT members (seriously, I am in awe each week with what those ladies do with the products I create!)

I also have a beautiful freebie for you today, but before I share it, I wanted to take a quick moment to get a little personal 🙂  Each month, I try my best to send out customer loyalty coupons to those who made a purchase from me during the previous month.  I know it may not always seem like much – but it’s done out of pure gratitude for those I am sending it to.  It is because of those customers that I’m able to do what I enjoy, have a creative outlet for my feelings and emotions, and make a little money each month. One of the ladies who received this month’s coupon seemed overly thankful, mentioning that she wasn’t sure she had ever received such a coupon from another designer before.  And that made me somewhat sad.  I won’t fault any of the designers she may have purchased from before — we all get busy and forgetful, and perhaps they just missed her.  But, it made me remember that perhaps I, as a designer, don’t say thank you enough for reading my blog, following my Facebook page/group, purchasing my products, etc.  I try to provide small freebies, as often as possible (and my CT ladies do a fabulous job keeping me stocked with those!) — but perhaps sometimes, I really just need to say the words…Thank You.  Whether you’ve purchased from me once, multiple times, or not at all.  Whether you download all of the freebies or just a few.  Whether you follow me as many places as possible or only check in here or there.  I appreciate you.  And, for all that you do to allow me the opportunity to take this designer journey, I thank you.
