Artistic Style Digital Scrapbooking Templates, New Kits and Collections for The GingerScraps Shop and a Whole Lot of Freebies

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I'm splitting it up again, as usual and will have another blog tomorrow with your new hybrid.  Today, I've got a lot of page inspiration for you.  I've put several of our latest collections and kits in the GingerScraps shop and I'm linking you up to all of the coordinating freebies with these kits and collections.  Plus I've got links to even more free stuff.  Enjoy!!!

Splat Scat N Paint

Today's templates are not new!  All three were free nearly 2 years ago.  The last one is new, though.  I added it make a nice set and a few people said they'd love if I put those old templates in the shop.  I can't blame them at all.  All of the paint in these are so awesome.  Wait until you see what I and my amazing team have done with them.  The papers you make with these can come out really beautiful.

That's mine.  That's my boy.  That's the Mediterranean Ocean and that's my poem.  Totally applies to today!  Deep breaths...let the crap go...put on a smile...and keep moving forward.

I thought I might do a page with more of a traditional feel incase there were some out there curious to see how that would look.

Serendipity

With each One Word Wonders kit and collection, you get a free template!  How cool is that?!

Here's a freebie I have with it.  

Free Quick page for you!

Another new, close to my hear collection is Optimism.  It has to do with mental crap, my kids with Autism, my own acute anxiety and just all of the GRRRR that life can sometimes bring.  A bit dark, but with a silver lining.  I really love the free template that comes with it.  There are a lot of artistic bits and definitely a lot of attitude, too!

Optimism

These are all of my pages.  I went crazy with it.  I love it SO much and I hope you do, too.

Bunny Business Digital Scrapbooking Templates for Easter and A Free Printable Grocery List With Template

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

Again, I'm condensing this week's blogging schedule and I didn't even send out a newsletter.  I'm sure this quarantine that's nearly gone on a month is the culprit.  There is no way staying away from and family and friends is psychologically sound for us.  We gotta do what we gotta do!  I hope you're able to stay optimistic during all of this.  I'm fortunate enough to be quarantined at our vacation home where I have a very large yard.  When I'm working outside, it's easier for me to forget all of the chaos and sorrow that is surrounding us.  Hence, my time away from the computer.  It is therapeutic and necessary.

I hope today's entry finds you and yours very well and that you're able to be thankful for what you do have.  There's quite a bit on tap, but I'll abbreviate a bit.  The usual layout love with a spring like theme.  Another free hybrid for you.  I'm sharing a little bit more on our healthy eating series and I've a few more links to some other freebies.

Now, ya know I just love me some Clever Monkey Graphics.  I and several of my gals used Tracey's new collection, Bunny Tails with this week's new Bunny Business templates.  It's in my agenda to take some pictures of my village's Easter decoration and gorgeous flowers.  The tulips are beyond fabulous right now.  I certainly need more to scrap for spring and with my new camera it should be something I can easily tick off of the To Do list.

Let's dive into those new templates and Tracey's cute collection.

For this page, I thought I'd go with the more natural vibe from her Gone Hiking collection.  I scrapped up my mountain and the beautiful Mosel River.  That ruin is an old abbey.

Have you got all 5 parts of our free kit, What's Cook'n?  They are available thanks to the participation from our fans and believe me, it was most thankfully enthusiastic.  I just loved all of thanks and encouragement with our challenges.  It really makes all of this designing of freebies totally worth it.

I often mention throughout our blog that planning your menu's is one of the best things you can do.  You'll save time, money and you won't waste nearly as much.  If you are trying to improve upon your eating regiment, I totally recommend NOT buying junk or limiting it as much as possible.  I might buy a bag of chips and that's it.  We often snack on fruit and nuts.  I have certainly learned that when it ain't in the house, we don't eat it.  Besides, when ya go out and about, there is almost always an opportunity to get junk that way.

My youngest son has a heavier form of Autism than my oldest and he has one heck of a sweet tooth.  If there are sweets or junk food in sight, he will always ask for it.  If it's put away or even not available at all, he'll eat something else.  Shoo....I totally recommend this.

In the previous food related blogs over the last couple of weeks, I've touched on what not to eat and gave a few alternatives.  Keep an open mind, now. Don't get discouraged because there is a lot of food out there that you can eat and if you've the internet or even access to a library there is a wealth of recipes and if you look, you'll find things to try and do try new things.

I invite you to peruse my boards on Pinterest.  I typically Pin healthy and healthy-ish stuff.  Hey!  It won't hurt to have a sweet or something fried once a week or so.  As I mentioned before, just don't do it everyday.

The last crucial habit you need to have for good health or to get healthier is to drink water.  Our water in Belgium is just gross.  Gross!  To counter this we purchase bottled water or a make infuses with the tap water which probably should really be filtered.  Cut up citrus fruits, berries, add cucumber or even ginger.  It makes the water a lot more palatable.  Ice helps, too! Do whatever it takes so that you are getting in the recommended water intake.  You might be pleasantly surprised at the huge changes you'll get just from drinking more water!  You should be drinking at least 3-4 liters a day.  I keep a bottle of water at my desk along with a huge canister of nuts, seeds and dried berries to munch on when I get hungry.

Today's freebie!

Enjoy our free printable Grocery list AND template.  I decided to provide a template so you can make the necessary changes.  This was how I organize my weekly list.  Don't forget the free printables from the last two weeks.  A recipe card and a menu planner.  Trust me, start using a planner and a list.  You won't regret it.  Promise!

Check out this lovely page from one of our fans.  This was one of the three required pages and now Lulu gets to play with the second part of the Progressive Challenge.  Come to our scrap-a-licious group and join in on all of the fun!  We'd love to have ya!
