Happy Friday Sweet Shoppers! And Happy New Year! I’m so excited for the promise of what 2026 is going to bring, and our upcoming 20th anniversary here at the Sweet Shoppe! We are working hard behind the scenes to bring some fantastic fun for our 20th year. Have you checked out this month’s challenge yet?

Today I get to bring you a preview of the Featured Designer fan sale starting this Tuesday January 6th where all solo products in Balgovesta’s shoppe will be on sale – you do not want to miss out on the great savings! Before we check out the sale though, check out Balgovesta’s Featured Designer kit one more time – Flurries of Fun. This is such a charming winter collection filled with snowy magic, cute hand-drawn elements and swirling snowflakes. It is perfect for capturing snowy days, winter adventures, and cozy moments surrounded by frost and fun. Best of all it is still FREE with any $10 purchase in the Shoppe until the next featured designer debuts on Friday January 9th.

And now for the preview of the Featured Designer fan sale! I asked the SugarBabes to create a brand new page with their fave product from Blagovesta’s store, and man were they ever inspired and created some gorgeousness!

Krista decided on Adventure is calling: I love the versatility of this adventure kit. The journal cards are perfect and help tell my creek play story.

Jill’s favourite is Deep in Nature: I love the beautiful range of natural hues and playful nature-inspired elements in Blag’s Deep In Nature. It captures the essence of the outdoors in such a refreshing way, and the best part is how versatile it is – perfect to use for all kinds of creative projects.

Kim decided to play with Happy Hobby: Brick Toys: I love Blagovesta’s Happy Hobby series. She has covered so many hobbies that I could scrap about. This one about Lego is perfect for photos of my boys who have soooo much Lego. I love the bright, bold colours and she has a great collection of brick elements in the kit.

Amie chose Inked Memories: This is a uncommon theme, but has so much great hand drawn/tattoo like elements- it’s perfect for capturing tattoo stories! Blago always has such a great mix of patterned papers in all her collections that I love to use too!

Karli-Marie chose one of my own favourite kits, Happy Hobby: Scrapbooking: I love Blagovesta’s Happy Hobby series. She makes it so easy to document the activities that my family and I love – including scrapbooking of course! This kit has such lovely colors and so many fun embellishments, it’s a must-have for scrap addicts like us.

And last but not lease, Jacq chose Autumn Avenues: I love how this kit matches my photos perfectly. It’s wonderful how effortless the photos and kit go together.

That’s it for today, I hope that’s inspired you to check out the sale and see what you want to get a great deal on! I’ll see you here next Friday with our next Featured Designer! Until then, keep on scrapping!
