Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers… You made it to Friday, and your favorite day of the week is here! We hope your summer is off to a sweet start and that you’ve had a wonderful week. I’ve got lots to share with you tonight, including a fantastic lineup of new releases, a brand new Featured Designer freebie, the next chapter in our Everyday Adventures freebie series, and a few other sweet surprises along the way. So get comfy, and let’s dive right in with your first look at…

Seriously, how fun are this week’s new releases? From travel adventures and poolside relaxation to celebrating the connections that matter most and those “one in a melon” memories, our designers have created an incredible collection of products to inspire your storytelling. Add in a fabulous lineup of templates and a sweet sale on everything new, and I think now is the perfect time to treat yourself!

If you’re looking for another reason to splurge this weekend, Willemijne of Digital Scrapbook Ingredients just stepped into the spotlight as our newest Featured Designer! When you spend $10 or more in the shoppe over the next two weeks, you’ll get her brand new kit absolutely free. Check out the details of our latest special offer, pop over to the blog for her interview, and grab your free gift before this special offer disappears.

As you can see, Willemijne’s Featured Designer freebie, Seaside Fun, is a bright and cheerful summer kit packed with everything you need to capture the carefree moments of the season! Filled with sunshine, flip flops, sand castles, and all the little details that make summer so memorable, this kit is bursting with seaside charm. The bright, beachy palette is perfect for documenting everything from family vacations and pool days to everyday summer adventures. And if you love the freebie, be sure to check out its sister kit, Poolside Fun, which coordinates perfectly and is every bit as delightful!

Speaking of freebies, the next chapter in our Everyday Adventure seasonal freebies series is here! Meet Me Time, a kit all about slowing down and savoring the moments you carve out just for yourself. Whether you’re diving into a good beach read, sipping something cold by the pool, or simply enjoying a quiet pause in a busy day, this kit is perfect for documenting the little pockets of joy that make summer (or any day) feel extra special!

The best part? It’s yours absolutely FREE, no strings attached! Just pop over to the shoppe and grab our Summer Freebie before 6pm ET on Friday, September 11th.

Between our new releases, freebies, summer events, and a few surprises in the works, we’ve been keeping our Babes busy around here, but they never fail to impress! Take a peek at the gorgeous pages they’ve created to spark your creativity this week…

As a reminder, if you’re looking for a little direction for your next layout, our Summer Scrap-A-Thon is just around the corner and we’re counting down to the big event with our Weekend Warm-Ups. The next challenge will be posted tonight at Midnight ET and there’s still time to win sweet stuff this month. Check out the details, jump in, and mark your calendars because this year’s main event kicks off on July 2nd!

With that, I’m off for the weekend, but before I go, I wanted to let you know about a fun opportunity to connect with our community! Tomorrow night, Saturday, June 13th at 9pm ET, SugarBabe Karli will be putting Kelly of Connection Keeping on the hot seat during a live designer interview on her YouTube channel. You’ll get to know Kelly a little better, hear more about the designer behind the products, and everyone who joins the chat will receive a coordinating add-on freebie created just for the event. Click the banner below to head straight to Karli’s channel and set a reminder so you don’t miss it!

I’ll see you back here on Tuesday with our next round of Sweet Steals.

Until next time, keep making those sweet memories and scrap MORE!
