New Releases and Freebies, Oh My!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a new release post.  For that matter, it’s been a while since I really had a new release.  So while it feels a tiny bit scary to be posting again, it’s exciting because I have lots of wonderful goodies to share with you! 🙂

First up this week is a fun new collab with Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs.  I always love collaborating with her – she’s super sweet, I love her designs, and our styles and work ethics seem to fit together really well.  This week we joined together to bring you a beautiful back to school collaboration! Class Act is the perfect collab to capture those special moments when your children return to school or are starting school for the first time. With lots of extra packs available, it’ll be so easy to make a lovely back to school album!

Previews for the kit, and all extra packs are below.  Or, you can grab the Class Act Bundle and save yourself money (and that’s ALWAYS a good thing!)

First, there’s the Class Act Collab, with 32 papers, 1 alpha, and 61 elements:

a pack of gorgeous coordinating alphas, 8 beautiful journal cards, 4 fantastic paper stacks and 10 beautifully torn papers:

I also have 2 template packs hitting the store today.  The first one was a freebie I handed out to those who joined me at last week’s Night Owl Chat in the GingerScraps chatroom.  It’s just one template, but I think it’s positively adorable!  And, at just 50 cents, it’s a fantastic deal!

There’s also the Chat With Me Template Pack.  It’s not technically ‘new’ this week, but it is new to the GingerScraps store – which means it’s on sale this weekend! 🙂

*deep breath*

Still with me?  Great!  I have two more goodies to show you today.  If you’ve been following along with the GingerScraps Daily Download for August (links available daily on the GingerScraps Blog), then you’ve been downloading an adorable new kit!  To show my appreciation to all of the members of the GingerScraps forum community (and because I love giving away free goodies when I can!), I have a great new Welcome Wagon post hitting the forums today.  The adorable mini kit freebie, previewed below, can be yours just for being a registered member of the GingerScraps forum.  So, if you haven’t registered yet, hurry! 🙂

Plus, if you haven’t downloaded it already, I have another coordinating freebie available for download on the Blue Heart Scraps Facebook Page!   If you haven’t already, ‘Like” the Blue Heart Scraps Facebook Page, then simply click the Exclusive Freebies! tab and download away! 🙂

Layout Spotlight & Other Goodies

It has been awhile since the last layout spotlight and since then there have been some adorable layouts posted in the gallery. The layout I want to spotlight today is “Owl Love U” by vwesley. Such sweet photos. I love how the photos are in circles and how the large photo is not centered in the larger circle mat. The elements in the bottom right corner really add to the page and the shadowing pops the clustering right off the page. Beautiful work!

The kit she used for this layout is “Whoo Loves You” by Blue Heart Scraps and it happens to be the Daily Download over at GingerScraps blog. The month is half over but it is not to late to pick up many of the pieces for this kit for free.

And to add to this kit, head on over to Blue Heart Scraps Facebook page for an adorable coordinating freebie!

And for even for even MORE freebies checkout the Welcome Wagon over at GingerScraps tomorrow (August 16th) where you can pick up a new Welcome Wagon freebie from Blue Blue Heart Scraps.

And last but not least, in celebration of starting up the layout of the week again, here is a coupon code to save 50% on your Blue Heart Scraps purchase in the GingerScraps store! Hurry, get shopping and post those layouts in the gallery!

Layout Spotlight for May 16th

I was looking through the gallery I came across this adorable layout by trina513 titled Bathtime. I absolutely love photos of babies taking baths.

Two different Blue Heart Scraps products were used to complete this layout. The kit she used was Lemonade which was just released a few weeks ago. I love how she was able to take a kit completely unrelated to the theme of Lemonade and make it her own. Kits can be so versatile.

The second product she used was a template called The Splits.

Beautiful job trina513 and congratulations on being this weeks spotlight!

That’s right! May has started, iNSD weekend is here, and the sales have begun!  I have a super exciting guest spot at Scrapbook Bytes this month, and lots of fun releases to tell you about!

First up, let’s discuss the guest spot at Scrapbook Bytes (because I am very excited about it!) 🙂  I’ve loved the designers and the talent there for quite some time, and I feel incredibly blessed and honored to be a part of the community there this month! 🙂  With this great new guest spot means great new releases – and I have several exclusive new products there right now.  I have a fun new template set, two beautifully clustered templates sure to make your pages pop!

Pick up the Scrap It template pack only at my Scrapbook Bytes guest store this month.

I also have a fun new cleaning-themed bundle, Fresh and Clean.  Some weeks, it feels like all I do is wash, dry, fold, clean, sweep, mop, vacuum – and then do it all over again. Document your daily chores, or those of your little helpers with the Fresh and Clean Bundle!

Buy the Fresh and Clean Bundle and save yourself money, or pick up the individual pieces:  Fresh and Clean Kit, Fresh and Clean Page Borders, Fresh and Clean Clusters, Fresh and Clean QuickPages, again available only in my Scrapbook Bytes guest store during the month of May!

I also have a new Lemonade Bundle on sale at both Scrapbook Bytes and GingerScraps.  Enjoy the refreshing sweetness of glass of fresh squeezed lemonade with this adorable citrus themed bundle. Bundle pack comes with Lemonade Kit (14 papers, 35 elements), 5 beautiful coordinating clusters, 4 coordinating page borders, and 4 coordinating quickpages.  Buying the bundle saves you money, or you can pick up the individual pieces at both stores.

A new month also means a new GingerScraps Buffet has hit the store, and this one has a bright and clean Spring Fling theme.  I have 5 new packs in this month’s buffet, and as usual, they’re all on sale for just $1 a pack now through May 5th!

Layout Spotlight for May 2nd

I opened up the gallery and my eyes immediately caught this adorable layout by swastinadia titled “Rain Lovers”.

I love the big photo (those matching dresses are adorable) and how she blended it into the lined paper. The raindrops really add to the effect of the pouring rain. Beautiful job!

In celebration of iNSD the entire Blue Heart Scraps Shop at Gingerscraps is 50% off until May 10th! Hurry and stock up on all those kits you have been meaning to buy before it’s too late!

Layout Spotlight April 25th and coupon!

It’s that time of year when I start thinking about what I will plant in my garden (that is if spring would finally arrive so my plants won’t freeze!). Our staples every year are tomatoes (our favorites are Grape and Juliette), cucumbers and green peppers. Last year we tried tomatillos for the first time and I was able to make some fun dishes with that.

In my excitement to start my garden soon, I decided to spotlight a layout that is all about planting. This layout was created by dotcomkari and it is titled “Bianca.. Bianca..How Does your Garden Grow?” I love how she layered the title with the ric rac, and love all the journaling she added to tell her story.binksmatoes

The kit she used is Green Thumb.

Layout Spotlight April 11th and Coupon!

Browsing the Blue Heart Scraps gallery this week at GingerScraps I found the most adorable layout by Mandalue titled “Adventurer”.

I love how she put her journaling and pictures to the left and kept the right side as white space. I also love how the bolts are scattered on top of her journaling. The kit she used was Beep Boop. With all of it’s bright colors it makes it onto my list of favorite kits and is super versatile. Today only you can pick up Beep Boop for 50% off when you use the code boop50.

Layout Spotlight April 4th and Coupon!

I don’t know about your house, but after a weekend of Easter candy my kids are on a serious sugar high. Looking at all of the candy made me think of the kit Sugar High and what a perfect kit it would be to highlight this week. I had fun looking in the Ginger Scraps gallery at all of the fun layouts made using this kit. It was hard to choose, but once I saw this layout titled “Pupcakes”  by Lisa I knew I had to share it with all of you.

I love the shadowing on the alpha and how she layered the hearts in between the alpha. The recipe really added to the fun pictures. Beautiful job! Today only you can pick up Sugar High for 50% off when you use the coupon code sugar50.

This Little Boy Collab & Freebie!

Man, what a crazy, busy, ridiculous few weeks it’s been around here.  With the oldest out on Spring Break and lots of personal issues keeping me busy, it feels like forever since I’ve released a new kit.  Truth be told, I released one last week – I just didn’t get a chance to tell you about it (so you’ll find a peek at it at the very bottom).

This week, I have a fun new collab with Jennifer of Luv Ewe Designs. I know I say this each time we work together, but she’s just so sweet and easy going, I love working with her (and I always love how our collabs turn out, so that doesn’t hurt, lol).  This week’s new collab is centered around little boys…something we know a thing or two about.  The cars, the building blocks – it’s a perfect kit for my two sons! 🙂

Another fun, bright colored collab from Blue Heart Scraps and Luv Ewe Designs, This Little Boy is the perfect kit for scrapping all those adorable little men in your life! And, when you buy the This Little Boy Bundle pack, you SAVE money!!!

Included in the bundle are the This Little Boy Collab Kit:

and three coordinating add-on packs, including the This Little Boy Border Pack:

This Little Boy Paper Stacks:

and the This Little Boy QuickPages:

Just check out some of the GORGEOUS layouts created by my CT girls and the CT girls at GingerScraps:

And, last but not least, just a quick peek at last week’s new release that I didn’t have the chance to properly spotlight.  Easter’s on it’s way and Hippity Hop is the perfect kit for scrapping all of your Easter related layouts. Bright colors, adorably crocheted flowers, and fun Easter themed word strips set Hippity Hop above the rest!

You can grab the Hippity Hop Bundle at 30% off, or pick up the Hippity Hop Kit, coordinating Hippity Hop Paper Stacks, or the Hippity Hop QuickPages separately.  🙂
