Happy Friday Sweet Shoppers! August is already half over, along with our Shadowbox challenges – have you been playing along with the Summer Scrap-a-thon?? There are so many great challenges and inspiration in the gallery right now, and I can’t wait to see who our new SugarBabe will be!

You’ve still got one more week to snag our current Featured Designer kit for free! A Storybook Summer: Driftwood Cove is yours FREE with any $10 purchase in the Shoppe now through when the new releases go live on August 22. This dreamy kit captures the sunny feel of summer days spent near the water – whether that’s the ocean, a lake, or even your backyard kiddie pool.

What better way to get the above kit for free than to stock up on some other amazing goodies from Kristin? This Tuesday August 19th her entire store will be on sale for her Featured Designer Fan Sale. If you’re like me you have a wishlist full of items to pick up from Kristin’s store, and now is the perfect time to pick them up (all of them!). I asked the SugarBabes to pick their fave from Kristin’s store and create a brand new page with it, and they came up with these amazing pages (below)

Amie chose A Mountain Tale: Bundle: Another Sugarbabe said picking a favorite KCB kit is like choosing a favorite kid! So true! Kristin always creates the most gorgeous foliage & flowers, but my most favorite thing about her collections is all the fun word arts, word strips & titles. She makes titling a layout so easy & always SO pretty! I’ll admit I’ve purchased collections of hers just because they were pretty- even without having a use for them! lol! (note from Trina – same!)

Ally’s fave is A Storybook Winter: Collection: There is SO MUCH to love about Kristin’s kits! My favorite thing is the greenery and foliage, though. There are always so many colors, textures, and sizes to choose from, and it makes clustering a breeze. This particular kit is perfect for our winters here in Ohio-some snow, but lots of browns and greens to match the photos.

Sarah picked A Nature Tale: Find your Peace as her favourite – Kristin joked in the background that Sara has used it so often it should be renamed Sarah’s kit: I could have picked every kit from Kristin as a favorite, but I seriously love this one. I already used it over and over and over again for Finn his baby albums. I love the soft colors and the beautiful patterns in the papers. I love that she always adds tons of different flowers and greenery. Her kits are so easily to use off theme as well. I never created a layout with this kit that I didn’t love.

Rebecca picked A Merry Little Christmas: Bundle, with this simple reason: Geez – picking one kit was like picking your favorite kid, lol. But can’t not showcase Kristin’s Christmas sets

Krista chose At the Lake: Collection: KCB always creates beautiful bundles that are jam packed with gorgeous papers and elements. I love these dreamy colors!

And last but not least, Carrie chose Snapshots: Photographed as her favourite, which is one of my favourite kits of Kristins as well!

That’s it for today – go fill up your cart for Tuesday and come back next Friday to see who our newest Featured Designer is! Until then, keep on scrapping!
