Don't forget that it's GingerScraps birthday weekend and there's all sorts of fun games and challenges, as well as a Facebook Hop! This is what you can pick up on the Ponytails page...

Just "Like" her and it can be yours!

Here's what is up for offer up at the special GS Bake Sale... these are just $1 each!

Sometimes we all need a helping hand. Our friend and CT member, Kim, is facing a very difficult time ahead as she deals with her husband's terminal illness, as well as health issues of her own. She will be left with a young son to raise on her own and unable to work. We designers came together to try to help. We created a template grab bag that's just bursting with awesome pages for you to create! You can still pick up this amazing grab bag at both GingerScraps and Scraps N Pieces!

Have a great weekend!

Big Kid now from Ponytails Designs

"When you need to go potty, stop and go right away..." How many parents have sung that song endlessly while teaching a little one to use the potty? Potty training sometimes makes you feel like you're a prisoner in your own home, and you feel like you'll go crazy if you have to wash one more load of laundry! On the other hand, it's an exciting time, and there's actually an end in sight to the never-ending diaper changes. It's a phase all parents must go through, and we inevitably will take photos to be used as future blackmail opportunities. Remember all the funny things your kids say and do with Big Kid Now. And then heave a sigh of relief... it's almost over! This kit is packed full of themed and non-themed elements in a neutral palette. Suitable for boys and girls, you'll find all sorts of uses and page ideas, as you'll see in the CT layouts below. You can pick up the parts separately, or grab them all in one big bundle!

Find Your Bliss & Giving Thanks from Ponytails Designs

“To be happy, one must find one's bliss.” ― Gloria Vanderbilt

Isn't that what we all are looking for, in one way or another? Joy, happiness, contentment, bliss... whatever you name it, we want it! Find your bliss is a softly hued, somewhat dreamy kit that encourages your to find your own measure of happiness. The faded watercolor effects and the sweet elements of this kit will surely help you get there! Find Your Bliss was one third of the DSD grab bag shared by Ponytails Designs, Wendy Tunison Designs, and Keystone Scraps. They were three amazing kits bundled up together, but if you missed the grab bag you can now pick up the parts individually. Find Your Bliss is 30% off for the first week!  

This is the layout that I created with this beautifully made kit:

 

Now, there's just one last thing... In her haste to get all of the DSD posting done, Natasha forgot to include a little freebie for you when she advertised her GS Buffet kit, Giving Thanks. Here's a little reminder what the full kit looks like...     Remember that you can also pick up the elements and papers separately if you prefer. You can pick up this coordinating paper pack on Natasha's blog. Enjoy!

What's New?
