Ginger Snap Scraps Grand Opening Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ginger Snap Scraps Grand Opening Blog Hop!

As you go along you will find that many wonderful ladies have created a variety of projects to show case some of the brands that are available in the store.

You should have arrived here from Paula’s blog.  If not you want to head over to Ginger Snap Scrap’s blog and start the hop so that you don’t miss anything along the way. Here’s a complete list of the hop for you to keep track.

Ginger Snap Scraps is owned by Cori Wagner, a stay at home mom who has been scrapbooking, card making and rubber stamping for 15 years!

Ginger Snap Scraps carries Cricut Cartridges always for $35 and under. They have popular brands such as My Mind’s Eye, Tim Holtz, Copic, Doodlebug Design, The Twinery, Bella Blvd, Graphic 45, La La Land, Little Yellow Bicycle, Riley & Co., Peachy Keen, and any more!

Here is a simple thank you card that I created for you.

I started with just some basic kraft cardstock.  The DP is from Basic Grey’s Granola 6×6 pack.  I found this really great die cut from the Bo Bunny Home collection.   I had won this huge Bo Bunny prize pack  from the Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival back in September which is hosted by Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine.

The run on I actually found when I was cleaning out some stuff in my scrap space to donate to a charity garage sale.  I didn’t even know I had them and so many others.  Created by Pebbles Inc., these are great for instant sentiments and they come in multiples on a sheet which are great if you are doing a bunch of the same card.  I am a huge fan of The Twinery’s twine and I’ve used just a little bit here to bring out the blue in the DP.  The bling is from my stash so not too sure who that’s from. :)   If you click on any of these popular names they will take you right to their corresponding page in the Ginger Snaps Store so that you can choose some of your own great items!

Did you know that with Ginger Snap Scraps you can enjoy free shipping on $25 orders to the U.S. and Canada!

Thanks for stopping by today.  To help celebrate the grand opening I am going to give one lucky winner a $10 gift certificate to the Ginger Snap Scraps store to choose some of their own items.  In order to win, you have to stop by on BOTH days of the hop and leave a message both days.  You don’t have to become a follower but I would love it if you did and I will give you an extra entry to win.  Winner will be announced on Monday April 9th here on the blog, so please leave me a way to contact you!

Thanks for stopping by.  You are heading over to the talented Vicky to see what she has in store for you!  Enjoy the hop!

I’m so excited

I have been asked to be the guest designer for June at CRAFT YOUR PASSION!. 

I want to thank them for this great opportunity and I am very excited to be joining them this month.

So today is the first Monday of the month and that means that it is an anything goes challenge!  Who doesn’t love those!  Create what you want and show it off.  All of the challenge details including prizes can be found here.   So for my first challenge with CYP, I am using a great image from Lauretta.  If you remember about a year or so back, I created a card with the saying ‘a true friend tells you about the toilet paper stuck to your shoe’.  I really love this saying and I totally know that my BFF would not only tell me, she would probably try and pick it up herself..LOL  When I saw this image, that saying was the first thing that popped into my mind to put with it.

I used some scraps of the Bo Bunny Gabrielle that I had left over from a layout that I did for Scrapbook Your Heart.  I inked the image with some distress ink and then I colored it with my Copics, followed by some bling action in the form of my stickles and glitter.  The ribbon (Savvy n Sassy) and pearls are from my stash and the toilet paper is well, from my bathroom :) and I attached it with some adhesive.  I hope that you enjoy my card and don’t forget to join us at Craft Your Passion with your own creation.  The rest of the design team has created some fantastic inspiration pieces for you so you don’t want to miss out on that!

I’ve entered this card into the following challenges:
