Ginger Scraps | My Memories 

This week is going to be a busy one with all day meetings, one day dedicated to schedule pick up and greeting this years students and parents, and pulling my classroom together.  This time of year there is the excited anticipation of what the year ahead holds and a small bit of sense of wishing we could turn back time for a week to savor that last bit of unscheduled freedom that Summer holds.  Then things will settle into a routine and we'll see where the next few weeks takes us.  What are your plans for the week ahead?  Hopefully there will be some smiles and laughter sprinkled throughout each day for all of you.

Your freebie today is a a pretty journal mat cluster created with Connie's My Cozy Era by CTM Deb.  Enjoy!

#2026 August {NEW}

 Are you ready for the next chapter in the #2026 series?  Savor the beauty of summer's gentle farewell with #2026 August, a soft and elegant scrapbook collection inspired by peaceful evenings, blooming gardens, and the quiet moments that make the season unforgettable. Featuring a soothing palette of dusky pinks, soft purples, and warm cream, this collection captures the romance and tranquility of late summer.

Beautiful watercolor elements include a vintage camera for preserving treasured memories, an antique wooden clock to remind us that every moment is precious, a lush bouquet of flowers, and a picturesque cream-colored window overlooking a breathtaking sunset garden. Together, these timeless pieces evoke the warmth, reflection, and beauty of August as summer slowly gives way to autumn.

To make your pages effortlessly layered and full of charm, #2026 August also includes an abundance of coordinating filler elements such as delicate flowers, leafy greenery, ribbons, buttons, frames, ephemera, coasters, labels, and other decorative accents that complement both everyday memories and special occasions.

Whether you're documenting quiet evenings on the porch, fresh-cut garden flowers, family gatherings, sunset strolls, or simply the beauty of everyday life, #2026 August provides everything you need to preserve those fleeting end-of-summer moments. Filled with soft color, timeless elegance, and watercolor charm, this collection is perfect for celebrating the memories you'll treasure long after summer has faded.

Thursday - something new is coming soon...

 

Hey all you wonderful Connie Prince fans!  We are 7 days away from launching something new here on Connie's blog.  Invite your scrapping friends to join you every Thursday to scour the posts for clues to the identity of our CTM of the month. For the first 3 Thursdays of the month we'll be dropping clues/information about one of Connie's CTM's along with some curated inspiration from them.  By the 3rd Thursday you will be given an opportunity to send in your guess as to who the CTM is.  One name will be drawn from the correct guesses and that person along with the identity of the CTM will be announced on the 4th Thursday of the month.  The winner will earn a coupon from Connie to be used in her store.  

Now, here's your assignment for this week.  Tell your scrapping friends!  Friends don't gatekeep on something like this.  We share the love and fun!  This kicks off next Thursday so mark your calendar and be here for the first set of clues.

Happening now!  Today is the last day to get 50% off on your Connie Prince products that are sitting in your cart in the Christmas in July Sale.
