Available at Ginger Scraps and Digital Scrapbooking Studio!

I have two layouts to share. This first one is from our 2011 trip to West Virginia with my parents. I was pregnant with Janette at the time and you can see Jessica in the carrier on James’ back. It’s kind of crazy. Janette is about to be 7 next month.

This next layout is from our 2008 trip to Tahiti. This particular layout is from the Mo’orea portion of our trip. Man, I love snorkeling.

Be a Pineapple and Template Pack 37

Posted on by

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.)

I decided to scrap some more of our Tahitian holiday. These two pages document the pineapple plantation part of our 4×4 tour on Mo’orea.

Surf’s up dude! WAVE PATROL by Magical Scraps Galore is a bright and colorful summer collection inspired by the California beaches, combining all the surfing fun with awesome seaside elements.  Packed with tons of themed patterns and elements such as longboards, surfboards, wakeboards, water skis and paddles, this collection also includes general seaside ellies for you to use on any beach layout, such as a lifeguard tower, a palm tree, waves, seashells, a retro van, a lifesaver and beach signs, among many other awesome goodies.

Find the full collection at 58% off -or the individual page kit and four add-ons at 30% off– through Tuesday midnight in Marina’s shops at and The Digichick.


I am not a surfer girl, but I knew as soon as I saw Marina’s new kit, that I would be scrapping some more of our 2008 trip to Tahiti. The colors are perfect for the ocean. Both of these two layouts are from the Bora Bora leg of our trip.

Ohana

Posted on by

Ohana means ‘family’ and you’ll certainly feel like part of the community with this tropical kit from Scraps N Pieces. Bright, bold artwork conjures up images of an island paradise, perfect for scrapping tropical vacations (or dreams of tropical vacations). Bright colors and wood feature heavily in this kit, with traditional wood carvings and a wooden alpha featured alongside hippie surfer vans, surfboards, and coconut drinks. Traditional hula dancers, floral shirts, tiki torches, and palm trees add more tropical touches. Two big packs of papers, patterned and solid, provide a great background for your featured photos. Whether you’re traveling to Hawaii, hosting a luau in your backyard, or just watching Lilo & Stitch for the hundredth time, you can scrap your story with Ohana.

The individual pieces and template pack are on sale for $1 through the 7th of July. The full kit is on sale for $3 through the 7th as well. Kit is exclusively at Gingerscraps this month and will be at Scraps N Pieces and My Memories next month.

No automatic alt text available.

Of course, I wanted to scrap some photos from our Tahitian vacation. Scrapping it has brought back some really fun memories. These two layouts document dinner at Bloody Mary’s, a Bora Bora institution since 1979.
