PEEK-a-boo

Hi there!
Are you getting excited to see what the GingerScraps April Buffet is going to be?  It is going to be so cute.  As you probably know, the Buffet is when the designers are given a color palette and a theme, and they add whatever they want to the buffet.  The customers can "eat" as much or as little as they want and have a "pick-your-own-collab."  All items are $2 BUT for the first 5 days of the Buffet everything will be $1!  I contributed a little something (a template half pack to be exact lol). My CT have already done some great work with the templates.  Roxana, that sneaky Unforgettable, even make a sneak peek for you.  She took part of my new Buffet template and added some scrappy goodies to it!
Here is your sneak peek...





These are going to be really cute templates!  Come on back here April 1st to see what they look like in full.  See you Sunday!

Break The Silence: Ovarian Cancer Awareness (Freebie included)

In order to promote some awareness for ovarian cancer I am releasing an ovarian cancer awareness template pack, called Break The Silence. I know this isn't a light hearted topic, but I feel it is very important!  If you read all the way to the end you will find a free gift for you.

Last January a customer contacted me to tell me about a scrapbook she was working on to be presented at a fundraising golf tournament for Ovarian Cancer.  Because of her project, my "Courage, Strength, Awareness Template Pack" caught  her eye.  Although that particular template pack was created to increase breast cancer awareness, she was interested in that template pack for her ovarian cancer charity work.  She inspired me to create a template pack to open up discussion in digi-land on ovarian cancer.  Ovarian cancer isn't detected by a regular pap test, and women need to become aware of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and start conversations with their health care provider about screenings if they are concerned.  I did not know the symptoms of ovarian cancer or that it isn't detected with a pap exam before I started this project.  I know I feel better being more educated about this.  I hope you do to.

I'm now going to show you this fabulous template pack, and at the end of this post you will find the symptoms and warning signs for Ovarian Cancer!  You'll also find a FREEBIE, my free gift to you.  Make sure you read this post all the way to the bottom!

Use the Break The Silence: Ovarian Cancer Awareness Template Pack to scrap pages in special honor of those who have or had the disease, or you can use the template pack to scrap any special memory.
