Sweet Shoppe Designs – The Sweetest Digital Scrapbooking Site on the Web

Hello, everyone! I hope your August is winding down nicely. Before you know it, we will be electing our new president! No, I’m not going to get into a big debate – at least not right now! To celebrate the election and to mark this historic event, I created a new kit coming this Saturday (8/30) to SSD! It is full of patriotic fervor and party politics. Okay, so that’s stretching it a bit, but it is filled with fun goodies! To give you a sneak peek without giving all the kit’s contents away, a few of my team members took time to create some layouts….
First, is July 4th by Mandy: I really like Mandy’s composition on this layout. The photos running down the side at different angles reflect the playful, fun her family had this summer.

Second is Amanda’s Hope for Tomorow: Whether you are an Obama fan or not, you must admit that Amanda’s blending is beautiful on this layout and her clustering and use of white space is awesome!

Everything else from Politics as Usual.

Third is Tracy’s Land of the Free: Tracy’s wonderful title and brush work lead us right to the focal point of her page – the picture! I also like the paper strips behind the photo and the buttons!

And Finally Brandy’s: Cutest Girl Alive: Brandy’s layout is adorable! She was so clever to create an election for Hailey, too fun, and as always Brandy’s layering is amazing!

Thank you ladies for sharing your work so I could create this peek! I might have one other item coming this week as well but I’m still working on them. I don’t have any gifts, but if you hop on over to the PM Team Blog you might find something fun to download from earlier this week if you haven’t downloaded already!

Have a great rest of the week!
