Weeds & Wildflowers

What's sproutin' up with Gina!

Hi weedsters...Well first of all, Gina and her family have had this nasty flu and they're slowly getting it all back together. But off course Gina has put all her strength in it to bring you all some fabulous new goodies!! So let's start...

First off Gina has created this gorgeous, delicate pack of papers, called soft & shabby elegance. She's planning to do a whole line of soft and shabby stuff, but we'll leave that up as a suprise. But I just know it's going to be a-ma-zing!!

They are FULL of texture, beautiful brushes, and pretty soft colors. You will love using these vintage looking, neutral newsprint-type papers! Be sure to check out the details in the store!! Here are some pages from our CT-ers...

Then on to the next yummy goodie, Yarnin' it up - blossoms. The first in a series of real stitched yarn shapes. They will surely brighten any page and add that perfect splash of color.

They come in 10 different colors and this kit contains 2 versions of each color of flower - one with shadows and holes, and one separate from the holes so you can add your own shadows. Have fun "Yarnin' It Up" as you stitch these lovely blossoms to your pages!

And then last but not least, her lovely 'breath of fresh air' element pack and paper pack are available in the W&W prima hybrid shoppe right now!! The kit you've all been waiting for :)

Gina originally designed this kit as a sample for a magazine, "A Breath of Fresh Air" is light, airy, and will help you bring a little sunshine to your layouts! You can purchase these parts seperate or together for a soecial prize! :) here's are some pages from our creative teams...

Well ladies, that's it for today! I loooove all the new goodies and hope you do to! :) Remember that all images are clickable for credits or to take you right to the store! And off course you'll find lots more inspiration in our own weeds & wildflowers gallery! Have fun,

Eye Candy a.k.a. Best of The Bunch 2/27

Happy Wednesday Weedsters! And you know what that means, right? It's time to let the sun shine in and pick the Best of the Bunch! This week's flower is Barb, one of Gina's very own Wild Daisy's and it's easy to see why Gina picked her to do a guest spot in February! And we're oh, so glad she did!!

Barb, a paper scrapper since she was a young girl, turned to hybrid three years ago and only since Sept. 07, went digi 100% and all I can say is ... wowZA woman, you have got an incredible style and I can't wait to see more! Ready to peek into Barb's gallery??

Music - MES Talent Show - Her gorgeous rich background and blending job just lets that flowery border flow over and make for one stunning layout! And it looks like talent is something that runs in the family!

Snow Tasty - I simply LUV her use of color and design from the simple tear, stitched circle to her layered framing of those sweet funny pics.

And again, in Nearly Purrfect - Barb amazes me with her extraction and blending of that darlin' photo into her background, once again mastering her use of color and elements! I simply LUV this one!

Thanks Barb for sharing just a few of your amazing pages with us. And Weedsters, I hope they inspire you as much as they did me --- I want to go scrap a page! Don't forget to visit Barb's wonderful gallery at WWD and DST and leave her some well deserved LUV!

Bye for now, and I’ll be back next Wed. with some more eye-candy!

Dream, dream, dream...

Hey Weedsters, Andrea here with this week's $10 Question.  I've been doing a lot of dreaming lately - mostly about how nice it would be to go someplace warm. We have been suffering here in my part of Canada with many days of -30 temperatures, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 

So here is my question for you: What do you dream about?  Is it a vacation, financial freedom, world peace?  It can be anything at all, that's what dreams are for!

Of course I dream about the world being peaceful and financial freedom, but as of late, my day dreams have all been about living in a place with nice weather all year round.  I would love to have flowers in January and run on the beach Christmas morning. 

Leave your answer to the question here in the comments and I'll be back at midnight EST to pick a random winner of the $10 gc to the Weeds and Wildflowers Shop!

EDIT****
And the winner is........commenter #37!  I'll be in touch with your prize tomorrow...I'm going to bed now I have some dreaming to do :)  Thanks for playing along!

Have a great day of dreaming!

The Best of the Bunch Wednesdays - 2/20

Happy Wednesday Weedsters! I'm back and starting today and every Wednesday, I will be bringing to you The Best of the Bunch!!
I've been happily perusing galleries, soaking up every pixel of incredible talent that I can in digi land, and I'm proud to present you with our first, non -CT "The Best of the Bunch"!!
I couldn't settle on one, so I choose 3!!

Let's give it up for ...

Ana Claudia (AnaFlorD) from Brazil
Cindy (cindylicious) from The Netherlands
and Tami from Germany

... woot woot .... for a closer look at their WWD Galleries, and to leave some well deserved love, just click on their names.

And now, let's take a peek into their galleries ...

Ana's So In Love caught my eye right away with those soft blues, clean lines and that darlin' photo!

... and Ana's wonderful I Believe In You with her beautiful blending and the way her photos lend motion to her page is just FAB!

 

Cindy's Smiles page is absolutely gorgeous ! I LUV her clean background with splash of color ... very eye catching and oh, so sweet!!!

... and Cindy's Did You Know? is priceless with that wonderful photo of her son, her sweet journaling and great design makes a page that will be treasured for years to come!

 

And last, but certainly not least ... Tami's All About Me page with her great design and use of color ... there's just something about those soft blues with rich reds that draws you right in!!

 

... and Tami's dainty and oh, so adorable page Luna Baby Girl with that stitched heart around that sweet photo is simply darling!

 

Thank you ladies for allowing me to share your wonderful pages and I know I speak for all the Weedsters when I say, we look forward to seeing more ... more ... more ...

And because this is a special week for The Weed Patch where we've been kicking off all things new and exciting, I couldn't let our Wednesday go buy without a little something extra. *wink wink* So, Ana, Cindy and Tami ... look for a $5 GC to be spent at your choice at either the WWD Shoppe or WWD @Prima Hybrid!!

 

$10 Question Tuesdays 2/19

Kenna (ratherBscrappin) here and I get to kick off the first $10 Question Give Away.

SHUT UP!!! Yep, that's right! We're giving away $10 every week and here's how it will work.
A question will be posed every Tues. right here on our blog and any random commenter will be picked for a $10 Gift Card for their choice at either the WWD Shoppe or WWD @Prima Hybrid!!! wowZA, pretty cool, huh?? Here goes:

The $10 Question: What is the one thing you keep reaching for to complete a page?
You know, that one thing that just *finishes* a layout for you. I call it my "ah" moment. Is it that doodle border (my latest passion), a torn corner, maybe that wrapped ribbon, or a glitter overlay?? So, tell us ... What is it that one thing that finishes a layout for you?

Post away Weedsters ... we'll be back to announce our one lucky $10 Question random winner right here on Thurs. 2/21.
