Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers… another week has come and gone, which means your favorite day of the week is here! I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe we’re already knee deep in August. It feels like 2026 is flying by, and if I blink, it’s going to be in the history books! Isn’t it funny how the older we get, the faster time seems to fly?

I think it’s a great reminder of why our hobby is so important. There’s something so meaningful about getting your photos off your phone and into your scrapbooks. Telling your stories, remembering your favorite moments, or simply expressing yourself through creativity and art is truly special, and we’re so grateful to be a part of that journey with you!

As always, we have some amazing new kits and templates coming your way tonight, including a brand new Featured Designer freebie that I think you’re going to love. Soooo, without any more babbling from me, let’s dive into…

As you can see, this week’s newest goodies have a little something for everyone. You’ll find kits inspired by the adventures waiting for you when you hit the road, the magic of wishing on a star and dreaming big dreams, and so much more. Whatever you’re creating, this week’s sweet new releases are ready to help you tell your stories.

We’ve also added a fresh batch of inspiring templates to make scrapping your next page quick and easy. Even better, everything NEW is 25% off through Tuesday at Noon ET!

Our new release sale is always a sweet deal, but if you’re anything like me, you love seeing what the latest Free With Purchase treat from our Featured Designer will be. This time around, the incredibly talented Em of The Nifty Pixel is in the spotlight, and she’s created a gorgeous set of templates that I really think you’re going to love.

Head over to the blog to get to know Em a little better in her Featured Designer interview, then be sure to snag her Cabana Calm Page Drafts FREE when you spend $10 in the shoppe before August 14th!

Em is such a brilliant designer with a style all her own, and it shines through in everything she creates. I love the built-in titles she included in her Cabana Calm Page Drafts, and the Babes did too! Take a peek at this trio of pages from the girls to see these gorgeous templates and titles in action, and don’t miss the full Cabana Calm bundle if you’re looking for an easy way to reach our minimum purchase and snag these beauties FREE!
