New Release & Winner! :)

Good Friday morning to you!  It’s the last day of Kindergarten for my oldest until after the New Year…and can I just say how extremely excited I am about that?!  It will be so nice not to have to hear my alarm clock go off so early each morning for a few weeks!  Doesn’t mean I’ll actually get to sleep in, of course (my boys are 5 and 3, early mornings are pretty normal around here), but at least I’ll have the luxury of waking up to a sweet chant of ‘mommy, mommy’ instead of that loud annoying ‘beep, beep, beep’.   🙂

Besides, that also means Christmas Day is almost here…and around my house?  That is a very good thing!  😀

I have one new release for you today, available at my wonderful GingerScraps store.  Friday mornings there are always packed with such gorgeous new goodies, it sometimes feels a bit intimidating.  But, I happen to think today’s new release is positively adorable, so it fits in perfectly there!  🙂

All little girls love dress-up and enjoy playing with mommy’s make-up – and Glam is the perfect opportunity to memorialize all of those adorable photos!

Kit comes complete with 2 full alphas, 14 papers and 40 elements.

A few spectacular layouts created with this week’s new release (aren’t they GORGEOUS!):

Thanks to those of you who commented on Wednesday’s Sneak Peek thread.  I let random.org pick a winner…congrats mskinsey!  🙂  I’ll contact you later today to let you know how to pick up your free copy of this kit.  I hope you enjoy!

New Release: Winter Chill, Freebie & Winner!

Man what a week it’s been!  It started off with finals to help finish out the my fall semester of school.  Late nights studying, early morning finals – sounds like loads of fun, eh?  Yesterday was a jammed packed day of crazy – dryer shopping yesterday morning (as ours decided yesterday was the perfect morning to simply not turn on again…ever *sigh*), and then a long afternoon spent at the hospital while my mom had surgery.  I’d probably be very, very excited that the end of the week was finally here if I didn’t have a busy weekend planned,too.

I do have some awesomeness to share with you this morning, though. My newest release at GingerScraps hits the store today, and I happen to think it’s packed with adorable goodness!  🙂

Enjoy the chill of winter with this gorgeous snowy kit. Whether you’re building a snowman, skating on the ice or just bundled up tight to brave the cold – scrap it all with Winter Chill.

Adorable, isn’t it?  Want to see something even MORE adorable?!  Check out these super adorable layouts created by my talented CT girls and a few of the CT girls from GingerScraps!

Are you in love, or are you in love (cause I am TOTALLY in love!)  🙂

Thank you for the comments on Wednesday’s Sneak Peek post.   I let Random.org pick a winner, so a huge congrats to Christina G.  I’ll email you later today with a coupon code to pick up a copy of Winter Chill for free!  🙂

And, last but not least, an adorable cluster freebie pack, made by my talented CT member Pat, that coordinates with today’s chilly new release.  Enjoy!  🙂

Exciting Announcement! :)

So…did you hear the news?!  Yep, the cat’s been let out of the bag!  According to Shannon:

“JoyLynn works for the CIA.  She is undercover, disguised as a digital scrapbooking designer.  She will live in West Virginia.  I’m not sure why, but I think that sounds a fun place to be from.  She has 15 children and is striving to be the next Duggar family (who I heard is having their 20th baby).  Let’s see what else can I make up.  She lives with her entire family on a farm, e – i – e – i – o, which makes her job for the CIA even more believable.”

…..wait, WHAT?   No, no, no…that’s not right!  I think Shannon’s imagination got away from her a little bit.  So, let’s try this again…but this time, I will tell you the exciting news:

I am the newest GingerBread Lady!!

Yep, that’s right – I’ve opened up shop at GingerScraps, and I could not be more excited!  In the short time I’ve been there prepping and preparing some goodies for you, I’ve gotten a chance to see just how incredibly sweet and welcoming (and TALENTED!) the designers, site CT and staff are.  I’m honored – and absolutely ecstatic! – about this opportunity.

To help celebrate my GingerScraps Store Grand Opening, I’ve got everything in my store on sale for 30% off all the way through the end of the year.  And I’ve got some adorable things coming – including my portion of the December Buffet which comes out tomorrow (sneak peeks below):

See, super exciting news, right…Right…RIGHT???!!!  🙂

Now go, hurry, take a peek and grab some new goodies!  😀

Good morning all!  I’m cutting it close to get this posted by morning, I know, but I’m working hard at it.  🙂  It’s been such a busy week or so here – getting through the Thanksgiving Holiday, starting to prepare the house for Christmas (including our newly adopted “Elf On the Shelf, Stanley…who the children absolutely adore!).  But, I have three gorgeous new releases for you this week, so hopefully you’ll forgive me for running a little slow this morning.  🙂

Each of these goodies were a part of my special DSD grab bag.  First up is a Clear Acrylic Alpha, the perfect finishing touch to any type of layout. Comes with uppercase and lowercase letters.

Second up is Relax – enjoy the quiet moments in life with this peaceful, tranquil mini kit. Kit comes with 10 papers and 40 elements.
