Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers! I can’t believe another week of Summer is already in the history books. Time is really flying, isn’t it? If you’re anything like me, you’re determined to soak up every bit of summer sweetness over the next couple of weeks. Lazy mornings, frosty treats, sun-soaked adventures, and maybe an afternoon nap or two because why not?

And our designers? Like always, they’re thinking about and creating gorgeous products for your favorite summer moments. I have so much sweet NEW stuff to show off tonight, so let’s get right into it with your first look at…

This week is packed with summer stories, from pages about your favorite frosty treats to wild days at the zoo to those weird yet wonderful days that just make life extra memorable. I love how playful, colorful, and versatile this week’s lineup is. There is truly something for every kind of story you want to tell, and a heap of new templates to make telling those stories quick and easy too. While I may not be ready for it, I think the color palettes are starting to get a little warmer and cozier, and our team might just be getting the itch to start creating for a new season soon.

Everything new this weekend is 25% off until Tuesday at Noon ET, and I am especially excited about our latest Summer Sixlet. The fourth entry in this year’s series, Flavors & Festivals, is here and it is the next stop on our travel adventure. If you saw our sneak peeks on Instagram earlier this week, you already know this edition celebrates all the tastes, traditions, and festivals that make summer trips unforgettable. I can’t get over how much love Erica, Kelly, Meagan, Raquel & Ru poured into this one, and it is yours FREE when you spend $15 in the shoppe this week.

You already know that our Summer Sixlets are only around for a limited time. Each one comes with solids, pocket cards, alphas, and a layered template too. If you’ve been collecting them over the past few weeks, you’ll definitely want to grab this one before it disappears.

Like always, the Babes scrapped some seriously incredible layouts with Flavors & Festivals, and their pages are bursting with color, creativity, and good vibes. Check them out…

Of course, the Sixlet isn’t the only thing our Babes have been working with. They’ve also been making amazing layouts with all the other new releases this week, and I can’t wait for you to see them. Keep scrolling for even more inspiration.

Did you notice that Heather and Charlene both used the same new release template from Amber of Alchemy Wild Studio for their layouts this week? I love how different their pages look from each other, and it’s such a great example of how versatile templates can be. If you missed it, scroll back up and take a closer look. I think you’ll be impressed!

Before I go, don’t forget that the 2025 Summer Shadowbox is in full swing! We may be halfway through August, but each day still brings a new set of surprises tucked into the curious compartments of this year’s shadowbox, plus two new challenge options too. If you aren’t already playing along, now is the perfect time to jump in, get inspired, and start scrapping for a chance at some seriously sweet prizes, including the opportunity to join our incredible team of SugarBabes! Check out all the details and a couple of this week’s standouts…

On that note, I’m off for the weekend, but I’ll be back in your inbox on Tuesday to send the absolutely iconic Kristin Cronin-Barrow’s time in the spotlight out in style thanks to her Featured Designer fan sale. Her store is packed with absolutely gorgeous and seriously scrumptious goodies, so get your wishlist ready because it EVERYTHING in her store will be on sale!

Until then sweet friends, keep making memories and scrap MORE!
