Happy Friday Sweet Shoppers! Have you been enjoying our August Shadowbox challenges for the Sweet Shoppe Summer Scrap-a-thon? I love seeing what new challenges there are every day and how everyone is interpreting them.

Today I get to bring you a new Featured Designer – the one and only Kristin Cronin-Barrow. Kristin has been a fixture in the digital scrapbooking world for as long as I can remember – in fact, she’s been designing longer than I’ve been scrapping, and her work never fails to inspire. Her kits are consistently gorgeous, packed with beautiful colour palettes, thoughtful themes, and a wide variety of elements that make telling your stories effortless and fun. One of the things I’ve always admired about Kristin’s designs is how intuitive they feel – it’s like she knows exactly what you’ll need for a particular theme or mood and creates it with such care and attention to detail. Whether you’re scrapping a heartfelt memory, a seasonal tradition, or an everyday moment, her kits give you everything you need to bring your pages to life.

A Storybook Summer: Driftwood Cove is her Featured Designer kit, and this kit is yours FREE with any $10 purchase in the Shoppe between now and when the new releases go live on August 22. This kit is a dreamy, beach-inspired kit that perfectly captures the relaxed, sun-soaked vibe of a summer by the sea or any body of water. Driftwood Cove is perfect for scrapping beach vacations, oceanside adventures, or simply your love of the sea. It invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and let your creativity float into the deep blue.

Not only that, she created these add-ons to create a collection that you don’t want to miss! What better way to get the above kit for free than by picking up the other pieces and getting the whole collection for a steal? Snippets & bits, cards, papers and an entire matching kit, A Storybook Summer: Driftwood Beach.

Now let’s find out more about Kristin!
