One last thing before I go… life sometimes has a way of keeping us busier than we’d like, and that’s exactly the case with the next bit of news I have to share. Renne of ForeverJoy Designs is pressing pause on her time here in the shoppe, but hopes to return in the future. She’ll still be working at her own pace in her solo store after this weekend, but if you’d like to add to your ForeverJoy stash, now is the time. Her shoppe will be hidden once this sale ends. We adore Renne and hope to see her back in the shoppe once life settles down a bit!

With that, I’m going to call it a night. For those of you here in the States, I hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July, and for our friends around the world, I hope your weekend is filled with sweet moments, whatever they may be. I’ll be back here on Tuesday to send Meagan’s time in our Featured Designer spotlight out in style!

Until then, keep making those sweet memories and scrap MORE!
