Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers! Another sweet weekend is here, and I’m crossing my fingers for a cozy, uneventful one in my neck of the woods. I’m keeping an eye on a major winter storm, hoping to stay warm, keep the power on, and settle in for a snug few days at home. That makes it the perfect time to relax, get comfy, and maybe make a few winter memories while I’m at it!

Like always, our amazing team has been busy creating some fun new releases that are hitting the shoppe tonight. Plus, I have a brand new Featured Designer freebie to share with you too! I’m excited to show you what’s new, so let’s jump in…

You may notice things feel just a bit quieter this weekend, and that’s because we’re gearing up for something BIG. Our 20th birthday celebration kicks off next weekend, and trust me when I say the calm before the party is very real right now. Even so, there are so many beautiful new goodies making their debut tonight, and if you’re a fan of Cindy’s templates, you’re in for a treat because she has three fun packs landing in the shoppe tonight and I am so in love with them all! It’s a great weekend to treat yourself, so be sure to pop in and see what’s new!

While you’re there, don’t forget to scoop up at least $10 of new releases because when you do, you’ll receive our latest Featured Designer freebie from the sweet and talented Allie Llacer of Lliella Designs. It’s such a joy to see Allie designing again, and if you’ve missed her work, this freebie is the perfect reminder of her unique, whimsical style. Her designs always make me think of the little moments and the little people in our lives, and her Featured Designer freebie, Cozy Winter, is absolutely perfect for documenting snuggles, a warm cup of cocoa, quiet days, and all the simple magic of winter. Take a peek…

As you can see, Cozy Winter is filled with soft colors, charming details, and that signature Lliella touch that makes it feel both playful and heartfelt. It’s a super versatile kit that anyone can use because it’s perfect for everyday memories and so much more. Of course, our incredible Babes have been busy working their magic too, and they’ve created a gorgeous mix of layouts using both Allie’s Featured Designer freebie and this weekend’s new releases. I hope these beauties inspire you heading into the weekend…
