That’s What Friends Aren’t For!

I’ve had quite an emotional summer. What felt like the best friendship I had been a part of in a long, long time came to a horribly fast, horribly sad ending. It’s been difficult, and sad, and heartbreaking, and stressful. But, unfortunately, that’s how things go sometimes.

Friendships are beautiful, wonderful, glorious things…when they work out. And, when they don’t? We’re left with heartache and disappointment and a reminder of all the things friends wouldn’t leave you feeling. Why scrap these broken, forgotten friendships? Because it’s part of our history, and working through those feelings can help us to heal and to grow. Besides, our memories of those good times don’t change, the people do.

That’s What Friends Aren’t For is perfect for scrapping about those friendships that leave us hurt and brokenhearted…but versatile enough to scrap many other wonderful pages, as well. Kit includes 20 beautifully textured papers and 58 elements

Check out some of the gorgeous layouts created with this beautiful new kit (both using the theme and not):

Count The Ways

Six plus hours in the swimming pool yesterday left me incredibly red (I used sunscreen, but I guess I didn’t re-apply it frequently enough?) and incredibly exhausted. Despite a several hour nap yesterday evening, I still didn’t crawl out of bed until almost 11 this morning! Thank heavens for lazy summer days and a husband (and kids!) who lets me sleep in!

Despite my exhaustion today, I know I made some wonderful memories with my boys yesterday. And in a world as fast paced and crazy as ours is, those moments we spend slowing down and just enjoying those around us and remembering what makes us love them so are so very important!

How much do you love the people pictured in your scrapbook pages? Let us Count The Ways, and name them one by one. Count The Ways is a beautiful new kit by Blue Heart Scraps, perfect for showing our thankfulness for those who make our heart complete. Kit includes:

20 beautifully textured papers (7 plain, 13 patterned), 1 full alpha (uppercase, lowercase, numbers and some punctuation) and 85 elements for your scrapping pleasure!

Also available are coordinating clusters and paint smatters:

Or, grab the bundle and save! The Count The Ways Bundle is on sale for just $4.50!

Check out some of the gorgeous layouts created with this beautiful new bundle:

I let Random.org pick this week’s giveaway winner, and the lucky number was 5. A huge congrats to Dana JM for grabbing the comment number 5 spot!!! Dana, I will email you later today to let you know how you can grab a copy of the newest kit for free! 🙂

Sneak Peek & Chance To Win!

Happy, Happy Hump Day! The summer is flying by at an impossibly fast rate. it’s hard for me to believe my boys will be back in school in less than a month — and the fact that they will be 4th and 2nd graders is even MORE unbelievable! This whole growing thing, it happens too fast! So, it’s important to remember the precious moments we have with people while they’re around…because they won’t always be. And, I think this week’s new release does a fantastic job of letting you remember exactly why you love someone! 🙂

Party in the USA Buffet & July Book Club

A new month always means a new Buffet Sale at GingerScraps (and internet issues yesterday means I didn’t get this posted). This month’s bright blues and red and yellow just screamed patriotic to me! So, I’m happy to introduce to you my portion of this month’s buffet, Party in the USA:

The kit above is on sale for just $2 through July 5th, or you can pick up the individual element pack and paper pack for just $1 each

I also have three gorgeous coordinating packs that you do NOT want to miss out on – AND, they’re just $1 each too through Sunday! Check them out:

Plain & Ombre Papers, Journal Cards and Paint Smatters

Plus, if you’re an avid reader like me, you might enjoy joining me in the GingerScraps Hey Good Bookin’ Book Club!

This month’s book sounds harsh, but I’ve read lots of reviews (without trying to get into spoilers) and talked to someone who read the book, and they promise me it’s not as dark and sad as it sounds. In fact, Goodreads describes the book as:

“Compelling, witty, and refreshingly real, Suicide Notes is a darkly humorous novel from award-winning author Michael Thomas Ford that examines that fuzzy line between “normal” and the rest of us.”

Here is the synopsis of the book:

I’m not crazy. I don’t see what the big deal is about what happened. But apparently someone does think it’s a big deal because here I am. I bet it was my mother. She always overreacts.

Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Year’s Day to find himself in the hospital. Make that the psychiatric ward. With the nutjobs. Clearly, this is all a huge mistake. Forget about the bandages on his wrists and the notes on his chart. Forget about his problems with his best friend, Allie, and her boyfriend, Burke. Jeff’s perfectly fine, perfectly normal, not like the other kids in the hospital with him. Now they’ve got problems. But a funny thing happens as his forty-five-day sentence drags on: the crazies start to seem less crazy.

Sound interesting? Join us in the Book Club forum all month long for details and discussion!

Quiet Moments, Giveaway Winner & Chat!

It’s been a few weeks full of life lessons for me lately. Learning where trust IS deserved, and where it ISN’T (which may be the hardest lesson ever!). Learning who’s really important and who you can let go of. Learning when it’s worth fighting to be around other, and when it’s time to go back home and enjoy your solitude. And for me? The last lesson has shown me that my solitude is so well deserved right now. I think that’s where a lot of the inspiration for this week’s new release came from.

In this crazy, fast paced world we live in, it’s important to take a moment to ourselves from time to time. A moment to relax, reflect and remember what’s truly important. The Quiet Moments Kit by Blue Heart Scraps, with its beautifully textured papers and gorgeous elements, offers you the perfect opportunity to scrap those quieter moments in life.

Also available is a coordinating pack of templates:

And, thanks to my 50% off Summer Sale, the kit and templates, as well as most of my store, is currently 50% off!

Check out the gorgeous layouts created by my Creative Team girls, as well as some of the GingerScraps store CT:

I let Random.org pick this week’s giveaway winner, and the lucky number was 5. A huge congrats to Tammy for grabbing the comment number 5 spot!!! Tammy, I will email you later today to let you know how you can grab a copy of the newest kit for free! 🙂
