Happy Friday Sweet Shoppers! I hope your week was amazing. I had a huge realization this week that I just have to share with you, because my mind was just blown when I heard this. For those born before 1987, we are officially older than Stiffler’s mom in American Pie. Not only was my mind blown, but I now also feel really old – lol!

Today I get to bring you a preview of The Nifty Pixel’s Featured Designer fan sale that will start this Tuesday August 18. You do not want to miss out on this great sale, you can pick up so many great things from Emma’s store at a great discount. Not only that, you’ll also get her Featured Designer freebie FREE for any $10 purchase in the Shoppe until the new releases go live on August 21st. Cabana Calm: Page Drafts is such a perfect template set to scrap your pool and beach photos, but also your everyday moments that aren’t pool related just by adding some everyday themed elements.

If you love Em’s templates, you’ll love what’s coming this week to her Shoppe – check out this sneak peak of what’s coming tonight:

Now let’s get to the preview of Emma’s sale! I asked the SugarBabes to create a brand new page with their favourite products from Em’s shoppe, and I love how creative they got with their pages!

Evelyn’s choices were An Autumn Tale Bundle and A Tad Torn Page Drafts: I absolutely love this collection by Em as well as this set of page drafts! This collection features my favorite season which is fall. It is full of so many beautiful and colorful ellies including some adorable forest animals! The mix of gorgeous patterned papers is amazing and there is a beautiful selection of solid card stock papers as well. I paired this collection with one of my favorite “go to” templates of Em’s. I love that you can highlight so many gorgeous layers of papers all on one template. Also, there are photo spots to place your photos and detailed clusters given for you to follow to create your own amazing clusters. Em’s templates help you easily create gorgeous layouts and they are so much fun to scrap with!

Krista was drawn to Be Kind to Yourself – Bundle and Across the Page – Page Drafts: I was drawn to this gorgeous bundle for the delicate florals and coordinating patterns.

Charlene’s favourites are One More Rep – Bundle and Build a Bunting – Page Drafts: I’ve loved using this bundle over the years to document the hard work my two older sons have put into their strength and body building competitions. Occasionally, I still receive a “flex” photo from them and this is the first bundle that comes to mind. I love the word art and fun elements. The set of bunting templates is so fun to use, as well.

Suzanne decided on Embrace the Change – Bundle and You Give Me Butterflies – Page Drafts: I’ve got to start by giving love to this gorgeous template set featuring butterflies – which are one of my favourite elements to use when scrapbooking. I’ve used the set before and will doubtless use it many more times as well. Am I allowed to give it bonus points for being a great choice for one of the pins in this month’s free for all challenges? Well, I’m going to anyway!

I paired it with this beautiful bundle which is perfect for recording growth in a new phase of life. I love that it recognises that change can be hard but, in the end, worthwhile. I think it’s all too easy to brush these moments under the carpet when it comes to our scrapbooks, but I think it’s so important that we do so that we can look back and recognise we have progressed over time.

Leeandra’s faves are A Hoppy Bunch and Keeping It Simple V. 2: I find Easter (and Christmas) photos hard to scrap sometimes as they are the same photos year after year. By using Em’s bold templates + fun bright kit, I was able to come up with an Easter layout that wasn’t my same ol’ tried-and-true but fun to look at & with fun colors to boot!

Sarah decided to play with On the Curve -Page Drafts: I LOVE this template set. I’ve used this set before and I can see myself using them again in the future. I love the fun shapes and the layers. Every page I created with them turned out as one of my faves.

And as a special treat, Emma decided to scrap with her faves too. As I told you last week, Emma is a prolific scrapper and her pages are always amazing, and this is no exception! BARBER SHOP FADE | BUNDLE is one of my fave collections that I’ve designed. Filled to the brim with everything you’d need to capture those fancy fades and close shaves. My son now has chin hairs clipped and a moustache is starting to really take shape so I’ll be revisiting this collection again soon with updated photos if he lets me take a couple of snapshots. I also love IN THE CORNER V.2 | PAGE DRAFTS. There is something appealing about tight groupings & element clusters on the edge of the page leaving plenty of space to pop a large photo and journaling, which is why this series of templates are my go to.

That’s it for today, go check out Em’s store and stock up your wishlist for Tuesday and come back next week to see who our newest Featured Designer is. Until then, keep on scrapping!
