JAMSquared – A Conversation with James & Jennifer

New York New York

Posted on April 21, 2018 by Jennifer

If your heart belongs to “the city that never sleeps,” you absolutely need to get New York, New York. This kit perfectly captures the essence of New York City: bold and busy patterns that are always in motion, slightly gritty solid papers, and a shiny chrome alpha. But it’s the elements that really bring it home: Broadway, Wall Street, pizza, hot dogs, taxi cabs, the Statue of Liberty, FDNY memorabilia… It’s enough to make you put the “I <3 NY” badge on every page. Included is a pack of ‘fun fact’ tags for some of the most famous landmarks, making it easy to tell the history and still save space for telling your stories. As always, there are plenty of more traditional buttons, banners, flowers, and fasteners for mixing and matching with other kits if you don’t have a Big Apple trip on the horizon. If New York City stories are filling your to-scrap folder, make a night of it and jazz them up right with New York, New York.

Kit is 50% off at Gingerscraps and My Memories this week.

I had the perfect photos to scrap with this kit. It’s hard to believe that this trip was 20 years ago. It was so fun. This was back when I purchased quite a few postcards when I traveled. Now with digital photography, I don’t purchase post cards as much, unless I actually mail them.

I decided to scrap some photos from the birthday party of one of Janette’s friends. She had a fun Hollywood diva style party and Princess for a Day was a great choice to scrap these photos.

Singing in the Rain

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Jennifer

Whether you prefer to spend rainy days jumping in puddles or watching the weather from inside, Scraps N Pieces has you covered. Singing in the Rain is their tribute to the wonderful weather springtime brings. This bold, primary-colored kit is packed full of patterned papers that set the stage for your scrapping. Rain drops and umbrella motifs feature heavily, along with rain clouds, a raincoat and rain boots, and plenty of gorgeous ephemera. Singing in the Rain also contains some fun thematic elements dedicated to the musical movie of the same name for those days when you have a “glorious feeling” you need to scrap. So whether the weather has you singing or snuggling in to scrap, it’s a perfect day for Singing in the Rain.

Grab this kit during the first week of release for 1/2 price. Preview is linked to our Gingerscraps store.

I knew what I would be scrapping as soon as I saw that Lori and Heidi were doing a Singing in the Rain kit for their musical kit this month. We took a bunch of photos with the Singing in the Rain photo prop in Hollywood Studios.

Sometimes life gives us lemons and we need a little break, a little something to put us in a relaxing state of mind. Be A Pineapple is a tropical paradise of inspiration, crammed into a scrapbooking kit. The bright colors, playful art style, and motivational journal cards are perfect for carving out your little chunk of sweetness. There’s plenty of wildlife (including birds, crabs, and a sea turtle), sandcastles, and surfboards, palm trees, sunshine, sea shells, and pineapples to whisk you away to a happy place. But the happiness doesn’t stop there: banners, flowers, bold patterned papers, and a wooden alpha add some more fun to your page. So give yourself a pick-me-up and take some time to scrap those precious memories with Be A Pineapple.

Pick up this bundle for our April 2018 Buffet – or you can pick up solids, patterned papers, embellishments, alpha, journal cards, and template pack 37 all separately. (Template pack not included in bundle.)
