Take $2 Tuesday Sale

 There is a tremendous deal on two of Connie's kits this lovely Tuesday in the Take $2 Tuesday & Wednesday Sale bin.  Check your stash and see if you are missing either School Years or Paint Chips: Ruby.  If you are then dash your way over to either Ginger Scraps or My Memories and get these for only $2 each!  School years is one of the best back to school kits (or just school related all year long) out there and the jewel tones of Paint Chips: Ruby bring a sparkle to your layouts!

If you are looking for another way to stretch your scrapping budget, check your stash and if you don't already have #2023 August then now would be a fabulous opportunity to add it and get more bang for your buck!  Connie has this collection on sale through August 20th as part of the Ginger Scraps Bake Sale!

Templates are a power house in many scrapper's toolkits.  With busy lives sometimes we need a jumping off place to get our creativity boosted and our memories scrapped.  One of the reasons I enjoy using Connie's templates is that it gives a structure for me to build upon.  I'm a little bit chaotic when left to my own devices and while that sometimes is a good thing it doesn't always translate into a productive scrapping session when my scrapping time is limited.  Connie's Template bundles give you a variety of styles to work with and they are a budget stretcher as well!



Do you love the beach?  Live in a coastal area?  Visited a little slice of Paradise?  Maybe the colors of sunsets at the seaside are calling your name.  All that sounds fabulous!  Even if none of that checks a box in your world at the moment, check out Paint Chips: Seaside Ember and let me know what sparked in your creative scrapping heart!

That's it for today.  I'll be back with a recap on Thursday and a look at this week's new release on Friday.  Thank you for taking a moment today to see what Connie has happening.  Here is a fantastic quick page freebie for you that Theresa created with School Years!

Sunday Sneak Peek

 I survived!  Barely.  Teaching Middle School isn't for the faint of heart.  I thought I was prepared but after only three days I'm questioning my sanity.  In all seriousness, it wasn't that bad but since I found out a week before having students that I would be adding two Middle School classes to my teaching schedule, I'm a little behind and feeling it deeply.  It'll all work out eventually but if you all see some crazy mix-ups here on the blog, know that it may be a full week before I even see any comments.  I'm pre-posting as much content as possible on Saturday evenings and not able to check back in at the moment.  

Onward and upward!

Here is your sneak peek at the upcoming new release from Connie!  I had a little bit bigger peek and this one is fully caffeinated! 


Connie is the midst of the Ginger Scraps Bake Sale so if you are missing #2023 August in your stash run to Ginger Scraps and snag it for $1.50!



The newest releases include the August 2025 Template Bundle!


Available at  Ginger Scraps


The other new release is Paint Chips: Seaside Amber!

Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by the blog to see what Connie is up to.  We love sharing joy with all of you and Connie is gracious to allow her Creative Team to create small freebies to give away here on the blog.  Today's gift is fabulous quick page from CTM Theresa created with Paint Chips: Burnt Umber.
