Forever is a digital scrapbooking mega-collection created by Sweet Shoppe Designs and many of our friends throughout the community in support of our friend, Rubia Padilha, in her time of need. On January 20th, 2022, Ru lost her husband Di without warning in the early morning hours in their home in Brazil. Di was her sunshine, the love of her life, a family man and a wonderful father, and now she's facing a future without him by her side as a single mother.

When the sad news of what Ru was going through began to spread throughout our close-knit community, all of us here at Sweet Shoppe Designs knew we wanted to do something to financially support Ru and her son Brian, for at least a little while, so she had time to grieve... to breathe... to find her strength... and begin putting one foot in front of the other again... and that's how this gorgeous fundraising collab was born. We weren't alone in that effort.

Forever is an absolutely stunning tribute to life, and love, and friendship and everything we hold near and dear to our hearts. It's a massive collection of papers, elements, pocket cards, mixed media, and templates from our team of designers AND designers from around the digital scrapbooking community who wanted to do whatever they could to help a friend when she needed us most.

HUGE thanks to Allison Pennington, Dunia Designs, Little Butterfly Wings, Pink Reptile Designs, Rachel Jefferies, Shawna Clingerman, Designed by Soco, Tracy Martin, Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs, and ALL of the amazing Sweet Shoppe designers who were part of this special effort.

ALL proceeds from the sale of Forever will go directly to Ru and her son Brian as long as this collection is for sale, and on behalf of Ru and our Sweet Shoppe family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for purchasing this collection.
