Sunshiney Day, Timeline QPs, Sale & Freebie!

Did you take a guess at last week’s Mystery Designer at GingerScraps?  If not, you  missed a wonderful opportunity to win a great, free kit!  Last week’s Mystery Designer was yours truly, and that means this week, I get to show you one of my most favorite kits ever!  🙂

Sunshiney Day is all about the bright, happy days.  Nothing’s better than having a bright, happy, sunshiney day…except getting to scrap those wonderful days.  And that’s where Sunshiney Days comes in!   As usual, it’s on sale for 25% off this weekend.  🙂

But, what’s better than a bright happy kit?  Getting some bright happy goodies to go along with it!!  And, this week, that’s a set of 4 bright, happy, colorful, coordinating timeline QPs.  Make the switch to Facebook Timeline that much easier!

But, because I was so incredibly stoked to be the Mystery Designer last week, and share this gorgeous new kit with you, I’m having an extra special sunshiney sale!  But, the sale is only good through Sunday, so hurry and grab your free goodies while you can!


That’s right!  Buy this week’s new “Sunshiney Day” release, and you’ll get the coordinating Timeline QPs for FREE!  (they’ll automatically be added to your cart).

But, that’s not all — I come bearing even MORE new goodies!  I’ve also got a set of Timeline QPs to match last week’s Green Thumb kit.  Love gardening?  Love Facebook?  Then why not combine the two in perfect harmony with a great new timeline cover:

And, last but not least…I have a freebie for you! 🙂  I’m trying out a few new things, to see what you all enjoy most.  And this week?  That means a set of journal cards to match the Sunshiney Day release.  Each journal card is created in jpeg for and is 4×6 — perfect for adding to any layout, or printing and creating magic with.  Hope you love them as much as I do!  🙂

I don’t have many layouts with this week’s new release, because it had to be secret (from even my creative team) until it was revealed that I was last week’s mystery designer.  But, I do have one gorgeous layout – a bit of a creative mojo boost for your weekend scrapping session.  Enjoy!  🙂

Layout Spotlight

We’re back! Again! How excited are you? You should be, because I totally am!

This week we’re showcasing this awesome layout “My Little Garden” by  jbdolfin of Scrap Happens to Me.

I love her layering and use of all the wordart. I also like her journaling tucked in to the right near the gardening tools.

She used Blue Heart Scraps Green Thumb kit, which can be found in the GingerScraps store!

 How would you like YOUR layout featured? All you’ve got to do is post to Blue Heart Scraps gallery here, using any kit from Blue Heart Scraps store here.

Tuesday Treats Freebie Time! :)

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time for another gorgeous freebie.  This week’s goodie is a gorgeous border cluster freebie created by my Creative Team Member Michelle using my newest release, Green Thumb.

That’s not much chatter for today, I know…but rest assured that I’m in Photoshop working hard to get great new goodies out to you (some of which I’m so super excited about I can’t hardly stand it!!!).  I’ll see you back here Friday with another set of great new releases!  🙂

Meet the Team Monday – Amy and a Sale

It’s time for you to meet our next Blue Heart Scraps Team member — ME!

There are a few Amy’s on the Blue Heart Scraps CT, and we’ll be sure to introduce them all to you. I’m the one that works a bit more behind the scenes here on the blog and on Facebook.

So, let me tell you alittle more about myself:

Basic Bio:
I’m Amy (known as FamilyHistoryScrapper in the digital scrapbooking world). I’m 32 and an elementary school teacher, a job which I love. On a personal note, I’m getting married this summer!! I got engaged this past Christmas and will marry the man of my dreams this August! I cannot wait!

How long have you been on the Blue Heart Scraps CT?
I joined February 2012 as part of the Promo Team

Tell us about your scrapping experience: Did you ever paper scrap? When did you start digi-scrapping? How did you get started?
I did start out paper scrapping, many, many years ago. I still have tubs of supplies upstairs from Creative Memories and all types of other scrapbook companies. I never finished many albums in paper scrapping as it took so much effort to get all my supplies out all the time and I was always afraid to mess things up and not be able to fix them. Around 2007, my sister-in-law got me into Digital scrapbooking and from then I was hooked! I especially loved it for the ability to create amazing layouts with older, heritage photos. I scrapped for a good while and then took a break to help with family issues for awhile, but then returned with a fervor to digi-scrapping as I have a whole new world of things to scrapbook since I met my finance and we have lots of amazing times ahead of us in the future.

What program do you use?
PSP 9 (I so need to upgrade, but I know this program so well, I hate to have to start learning something new!!)

Can you share a tip or a piece of advice for your fellow digi scrappers out there?
Check out galleries to get inspired! I know that has really helped me to expand my abilities in digital scrapbooking. Also, find tutorials online….I even took a class on how to use my program to do scrapbooking things so I could learn more, yet every day I work on a layout I learn something new. My favorite things are the tips from others scrappers out there!

Tell us something different about you:
This might not be too ‘different’ considering my scrapbooking name, but I’m a huge family history buff! Since the time I was super little my mom took me with her to libraries and places to research family history. Once I was old enough, I just loved digging into the past and learning more about where my ancestors came from. There are days I wish I could travel back in time for a short visit and actually ‘see’ history in action for real!

What is your favorite layout you’ve made using Blue Heart Scraps products?

What is your favorite Blue Heart Scraps kit?
This is a hard one as I love them all, but if I had to pick one I’d say Fresh Picked, as it was the kit that first drew me to Blue Heart Scraps!

 

In honor of my getting to introduce myself to all of you, my favorite kit: Fresh Picked, will be on sale TODAY only for just $1. Hurry over to GingerScraps to pick up this great kit for just $1!

Green Thumb, Winner & Freebie!

Good Friday morning, all!  And Happy Easter weekend!  🙂

We’ve got a busy weekend planned.  Tomorrow is opening day at our local ball park, and since both boys are playing t-ball this year, we’ll enjoy the comforts at being at the park a lot for the next few months.  The boys are excited, and looking absolutely adorable in their little t-ball uniforms, and I can’t wait to laugh and giggle through the games – they’re certainly good for a few laughs each practice! 🙂

Another thing on docket for me this weekend?  Watering the sprouts in our vegetable garden. It’s the first time we’ve ever planted anything really, and I’m a Nervous Nelly that nothing will grow (though so far, everything seems to be sprouting up just fine!).  I’m excited about it, though – and the boys LOVE helping water and watch everything grow!  🙂

It was our first little vegetable garden that started the inspiration this week’s new kit, Green Thumb.  Bring your garden adventures to life with this fun new kit.  It’s packed with 18 papers and 48 elements for your scrapping pleasure!  And, as usual, it’s 25% off this weekend!  🙂

Check out the gorgeous layouts created by my team and the ladies at GingerScraps:

Beautiful, aren’t they?!  🙂

Thanks for the comments on Wednesday’s Sneak Peek post.  I let Random.org pick a winner:

Congrats, Patty!!!  🙂  I’ll email you later today with your coupon to pick up your free copy of Green Thumb!  🙂

And, last but not least, a freebie template created by my talented CT Lead, Kelley, the colors to coordinate with this week’s new release.
