Ginger Snap Scraps - So Long Summer

Hey everyone!! Today my post is for the Ginger Snap Scraps Design Team! 

If you haven't looked around the store yet, make sure you do!! HERE Cori has a lot of must have supplies and often has sales for her customers - what's not to absolutely love about that?! :)

The theme of the day is So Long Summer. The end of summer would usually make me sooo sad since I am a winter hater..... THIS year for some reason pregnancy and summer heat has not been a pretty combination. I am SO ready for fall. The only thing I will miss about summer is the cute outside photo opps...

I used the Summer Days Collection by Echo Park for this layout. To check out the products Ginger Snap Scraps carries click HERE. I actually placed an order not too long ago from the store and there was definitely some Echo Park in there! :) 

I love the stickers that come with the Echo Park Collections but I love to jazz them up a little by adding textures like glitter, glossy accents, pearls, etc. 

I hope you love my layout today as much as I do!! Be sure to head on over to the 

Ginger Snap Scraps BLOG

Back To School Blog Hop with Ginger Snap Scraps!!

Welcome to our Back To School Blog Hop with the Ginger Snap Scraps Design Team!

If you are here from Jessica's Blog, that's perfect! If you just stumbled upon the hop please make sure you head back to the Ginger Snap Scraps blog to start at the beginning!! You also do not want to miss yesterday's projects!!!

This weekend we will be featuring projects all about Back To School. School here hasn't quite started yet... Especially in my household. Bria, my oldest, is only in Playschool which doesn't start for a few weeks yet. Even though I don't have kids in school yet, I went school supply shopping the other day... :) I saw some great sales on and since Bria LOVES drawing/coloring I decided to pick up some fun things for her to play with!

I think Bria will think these are so fun because they're decorated up! She also loves seeing her name on things so I know she'll be excited about the notebook! 

I used a combination of Pink By Design Stamps, Stickles and paper from the Echo Park Summer Days Collection. 

I also used a real measuring tape I picked up from the dollar store, some buttons from my stash, Recollections pearls, twine, and an EK Success border punch. 

I am entering this little project into the Back To School Challenge over at Scrappy Mom's as well as linking it up to the Ink It Pink Challenge over at Pink By Design!!

Ginger Snap Scraps - Anything Goes

Today it's an ANYTHING GOES day over at the Ginger Snap Scraps blog! The members of the DT got to choose any brand carried in the store and make a product! I love having theme days, but sometimes having a the freedom to make anything is so fun! :)

Make sure you head on over the the 

Ginger Snap Scraps store 

to see all the great items for sale. THEN head over to the 

BLOG 

to see what the rest of the DT has created today!!! TONS of great inspiration - this is one super talented group of ladies!! 

Here is my project using Pink By Design stamps (are you surprised that's what I choose to use?!) :) 

I decided to make a little box filled with Hershey nuggets for my Mom. She's so amazing and the one person who is there for me no matter what. I made this as a little Thank You for all she does for us! 

I used the It's A Wrap 2 stamps for the wraps and then used a couple other Pink By Design sets to make the image stamped in the blank squares. I stamped 'Mom' from the Everyday Banners set, then popped it up with a foam sticker to give it a little dimension. 

The little treat box is from Lori Whitlock and came from the Silhouette store. I added a little window in the top and used some "plastic paper" (not sure what it's really called...). 

The pretty crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam. I also used the 3 Girl Jam bow maker to make this perfect bow. 

Hope you loved my project today! Make sure you head on back to the blog to see what all the other girls have created!!! I can't wait to see!!! :) 

Come back tomorrow for my Pink By Design post!! AND make sure you don't forget about the Blog Hope that starts HERE on Wednesday!!! 

Ginger Snap Scraps - Teresa Collins

Hey Everyone!! Today's my very first day to post for the 

Ginger Snap Scraps DT!! 

If you haven't looked around the store yet, make sure you do!! HERE Cori has a lot of must have supplies and often has sales for her customers - what's not to absolutely love about that?! :) 

Today we're featuring Teresa Collins! I LOVE her products. I'm so into her colors as well as her elegant style!! I used the Teresa Collins Chic Bebe Girl Project Kit for this layout. 

To check out the Teresa Collins products in the Ginger Snap Scraps store - click HERE! 

The pink artisan shape is actually a chipboard piece which is supposed to be used as part of an album, but I never make albums so I used it here instead! 

I used an EAD Designs rub-on flourish on the paper, sprayed black Ditto glimmer mist over it, then wiped the glimmer mist off the flourish. This is what I was left with! So pretty! I made the felt flowers myself and added a rhinestone in the center. I also made the stick pins myself with some beads I picked up from WalMart. 

The Bebe title embellishment was part of the kit and I used a punch to make the cut out with the sentiment below on it. The sentiment came from the Pink By Design stamp set - Sweet Baby. I used some Tim Holtz Black Soot distress ink to add some distressing to a lot of the chipboard background and the shape the sentiment is on. I also added some glossy accents to the word 'Bebe' to make it stand out more. The little pink bow was made using crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam, and my 3 Girl Jam bow maker (LOVE!!!!).  I also used my bow maker for the black bow near the bottom. 

I hope you love my layout today as much as I do!! Be sure to head on over to the
