Our 19th Birthday Celebration Starts NOW!
Happy Friday Sweet Shoppers! Not only is your favorite day of the week here, but it’s time to party because we’re celebrating our 19th Birthday here at the sweetest spot in town! Every year when our birthday rolls around, I am always blown away that we’ve been doing this for as long as we have. Some of us who had babies when we first opened are watching our kids get married and graduate from university at this point… it is crazy!
I say this every year, but we are so blessed to have been part of your lives for such a long time, and to find a career where we’re surrounded by talented women and beautiful things week in and week out is the. best. thing. EVER! I’ve known from the beginning that we had something special here at Sweet Shoppe Designs, and each year keeps getting better and better. From the brilliant designers who create the products we love, to the SugarBabes who inspire us with their amazing pages week in and week out, to each and every one of YOU who support us with your purchases and love of our small business… THANK YOU for 19 years of seriously sweet memories!
Like we do each year in February, we have sooooo much planned for you over the upcoming month, and today we want to get the party started with a fabulous sale where you’ll save 40% storewide including this week’s scrumptious new releases! Read on for all of the details…
Seriously, who doesn’t love a sale? With the exception of a few bundles which may already be deeply discounted, you can save 40% on everything in the shoppe including our newest releases, and the designers didn’t hold back this week in creating a heap of amazing new goodies for you to fall in love with too!! I seriously adore the products that are making their debut this weekend, so without more babbling from me, take a peek at…
There is seriously so much yummy stuff hitting the shoppe tonight, and I know you guys are going to love the scrumptious savings on everything new and old! Like I always say, those tiny images above don’t do this week’s goodies justice, so be sure to take a closer look at each product in our new release section so you don’t miss a thing!
Speaking of things you won’t want to miss… our fabulous team of designers is the heart of what we do here at Sweet Shoppe Designs, and over the past year, 7 new faces have joined our team and we aren’t done. That incredible momentum continues tonight with another brilliant addition to our team! I am so thrilled to share the news that Soco Blin of Designed by Soco is making her Sweet Shoppe debut tonight…
Soco has been SUCH a joy to get to know and work with behind the scenes as she’s been preparing for her debut, and her designs are another wonderful addition to the options you have to choose from in the shoppe! She has a phenomenal eye for color, a knack for choosing just the right font for her word art and I know you’re going to fall in love if you aren’t already a fan! Our Babes have had a blast playing with ALL of the new goodies that are hitting the shoppe this weekend, but here are a few pages so you can see just how gorgeous Soco’s designs are in action…

Like always, our amazing team of SugarBabes was on fire behind the scenes getting ready for this weekend’s festivities, so I couldn’t resist pulling together some serious inspiration to get you in the mood to do some shopping, scrapping and sharing this weekend! There were so many gorgeous pages created by the Babes this week and I had a really hard time narrowing things down, so I hope you’ll indulge me by checking out a heap of gorgeous eye candy from the team showing off this week’s newest releases…

Speaking of challenges, if you’ve been missing monthly challenges during our January break, you’ll be happy to hear that our Countdown to 20 challenges start NOW! Over the past 19 years we’ve brought you tons of inspiration thanks to our regular challenges, so we thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of our favorite challenge systems from the past as we count down to our 20th Birthday! Each month in 2025, you’ll find a different challenge system to play along with starting with a classic, Sweet Shoppe Challenge Bingo!
Like always, when you play along with our challenges, not only will you get tons of pages scrapped, you’ll also earn discounts of up to 40% off, plus you’ll be entered to win gift certificates and other prizes too! It’s our way of saying “thanks” for being part of our inspiring community! Think you can play along with 10 out of 12 months of challenges over the coming year? We’re giving away $100 gift certificate to one lucky winner who does! I think our challenges are an incredible way to take part in our community, so what are you waiting for? Stop by and jump into the fun NOW!
On that note, I’m off for a couple of days, but I’ll be back with a reminder a little later this weekend to make sure you don’t miss these sweet savings! Before I go though, I want to tell you how grateful we are for each of you. From everyone here at Sweet Shoppe Designs… thank you for making us the sweetest spot on the web for the last 19 years! While I’m getting to the age where it’s not so much fun to “get older”, the fact that our sweet spot has been around so long is a major source of pride for our entire team. All of us are looking forward to many more birthdays to come, and we couldn’t do it without each and every one of you, so thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Until next time sweet friends, keep making memories and scrap MORE!
