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

It feels like eons since I’ve hosted the spin-a-lift challenge. It seems timely to visit the gallery of one of our longer term babes. Ive admired Darla’s work for many years, well before she joined the team of staff here at the Sweet Shoppe. Her girls are almost the same ages as my own so Im doubly inspired by her layout design skills and her subject matters that deal with these stages of childhood and family life. One of the many things I love about Darla’s style is that it isnt exactly one style. As the mood of the topic changes Darla also adapts the style of her page so that it perfectly reflects the desired emotion.
You can check out Darla’s Gallery here at the Sweet Shoppe or at MSA to make your selection. I chose to test drive Magical Place:

and this is what I came up with using Kristin Cronin-Barrow’s Artist’s Canvas

Now its your turn – grab yourself one of Darla’s layouts, spin it and/or flip it then create your own work of art using goodies from the shoppe – there’s plenty of brand spankin’ new scrumptiousness fresh on the shelves.
If your wanting to add to your August Sweet Reward Tally for this challenge you’ll be wanting to complete your layout , have it uploaded to the gallery with a link back here in this post on the blog no later than midnight EST on 16th August. Enjoy!
