Hey, hey Sweet Shoppers… welcome to September! Is anyone else in awe of how fast 2026 is flying by? It feels like we blinked and summer is gone, just like that! I always love seeing the seasonal transitions in what our designers create, and this weekend, it’s really notable in the warm colors and crunchy leaf energy that comes with Fall. Before you know it, we’ll be seeing Halloween and Christmas kits hitting the shoppe!

I’m not quite ready for that over here, so let’s slow things down and dive into all of the beautiful new releases our team has created for you this weekend! Take a peek at…

As you can see, from back to school to a golden shift in colors, this weekend’s new goodies are really starting to look toward the final quarter of the year, and every single new kit is just beautiful! Not only that, as you can see, there are a TON of new templates hitting the shoppe this weekend, including the latest in Cindy’s Builder Block templates, some whimsical new designs from Fiddle-Dee-Dee, a trio of clean and graphic template packs from Lorie, and a clever new planner template from Connection Keeping! Be sure to visit the shoppe to take a closer look at them all because I’m positive you’ll find something that speaks to you.

Like always, all of our newest treats will be 25% off through Tuesday at Noon ET, but that’s not the only reason to stop by!

This weekend, we also have a brand new Featured Designer freebie from the oh-so-talented Blagovesta Gosheva, and the kit she’s created for our latest special offer is such a great representation of her one-of-a-kind style!

Click the links below to head over to the blog to get to know her a bit better and pick up Out & About FREE when you spend $10 in the shoppe!

If you’re familiar with Blagovesta’s seasonal Avenues series, I think Out & About fits right in! It’s created in a gorgeous color palette and includes tons of elements, word art, and more for capturing a day out on the town, running errands, seeing the sights, grabbing a cup of joe with your besties, and so much more!

Just look at the gorgeous layouts from our Babes showing off just how versatile and gorgeous this collection is in action…
