Here’s a beauty from Krista using Lions, Tigers & Bears (along with the LT&B Notecards):

I love this page by Laura, using Celebrating Motherhood, not just because it has that fabulous stitching on it… but because she’s a mom of boys and she got to use a girly kit to scrap about herself.

Here’s a photoless beauty from Amy, also using Celebrating Motherhood:

And finally, here’s one more from Kendall using Math in my Jammies:

I hope these leave you feeling inspired!

We created this kit in the hopes that you would enjoy using it to scrap about yourself! Too often we can be very negative when we look in the mirror. Too often we stay out of pictures, hiding away because we don’t like how we look. This kit encourages you to come out from behind the camera and turn that puppy around to focus it on YOU! And yes, this sassy little collection is lightheartedly sexy, too. We thought it would be fun! And while you’re at it, don’t miss Krystal’s encouraging post on the Sweet Shoppe blog about embracing Your Inner Aphrodite.

Inside you will find 19 patterned and plain papers, 72 elements (including things like flowers, leaves, bows, lots of word art and some girly stickers) and a lowercase alpha with numbers and some punctuation.

Here are some gorgeous layouts created with Aphrodite in the Mirror:

Also new this week, you will find a favorite collab, Treasured Moments with Studio Sahlin:

Don’t forget: when this kit was originally released, there were freebies!

And the Every Day of the Year collection has been re-packaged and re-bundled. You can pick up the Kit, which now includes all papers (15 patterned and 18 solid) and elements:

You can pick up the Extras, which includes all the alphas along with the My Life and Daily word art packs:

You can pick up the Notecards, which now includes an extra set of colored stamps:

Or you can pick them all up together and save when you purchase the Bundle!

All of these goodies are on sale today for 20% off! Enjoy the savings!

Happy Scrapping!

In celebration of the six new designers joining the Sweet Shoppe this month, we all paired up to create a collection of amazing kits! We all had a blast—and all the collections are just amazing!

Here is the collab that I created with Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Zoe Pearn and Allie of Lliella Designs. It’s sweet, bright and sunny—and aptly named Carefree Days:

Included in this beautiful Petite Four collection you will find 26 patterned and plain papers, 94 elements and a lowercase alphabet with numbers (0-9). You’ll find Carefree Days on sale this weekend for 25% off!

Here’s a beautiful layout from Jacinda, one of the Babes!

This collab is only available through April 30th, so be sure to pick it up before it’s gone!

Next up today, I have not one… but TWO new kits to show you! Here is the first collection, Lions, Tigers and Bears:

I created this kit for my kids. My boys have lots of stuffed friends, but they each have their special ones… and it just so happens that they are a lion, a tiger and a bear! So, I turned them into little puffy stickers. I know that this isn’t typically the kind of kit that you’ll see me making, but I wanted to try my hand at it—and I knew if I was going to do a kit about stuffed animals, I had to put stuffed animals in it! LOL! It was fun!

My youngest daughter also has a special bunny friend, so I made a very girly add-on pack that coordinates with this collection:

The alpha that comes in the kit is also available separately: Lions, Tigers & Bears : Alpha

And there is also a coordinating set of Lions, Tigers & Bears : Notecards:

Here are some beautiful layouts from my creative team:

Also new this week: Math in My Jammies!

This kit was made by request and I just love how it turned out! It’s a kit for homeschooling families… with a pinch of jammie fun! It’s versatile enough for scrapping about school or scrapping about your pj’s.

And there is also a coordinating set of Math in My Jammies : Notecards:

Here are a TON of beautiful layouts made using this new collection:

WHEW! That’s a whole lot of happy scrapping right there. See?! I told you I would be designing a lot more things for you!

I hope you enjoy these new collections. I certainly enjoyed creating them for you!

Happy Scrapping!

But the news cannot wait any longer: Sugarplum Paperie is now available at the Sweet Shoppe!

I feel so blessed to have been chosen as one of the new designers to join the Sweet Shoppe this year. It is a real dream come true for me! It’s something I used to daydream about when I was a brand new designer. Now, five years later (including a little three year detour), here I am: a member of the Sweet Shoppe team! (If you’d care to read more about the changes and why, feel free to read about it on my personal blog.)

Last weekend, the new designers were announced along with a freebie from each one of us! Here is my free mini kit, Cherish the Thought:

I was so excited to finally get a chance to collab with my good friend, Elise of Elise’s Pieces! Her style is so very pretty. I’ve been a fan for so many years now…
