It’s time for an EXTRA-large “in the works” post as we are all getting ready for a big weekend of fun and celebrations here at The Shoppe.  The designers always deliver an amazing set of new releases for iNSD, and we have a bunch of them to show off today.  Take a look! And if […]

Tuck It In Tuesday – 4/27

Some people think pocket style scrapping is just a bunch of rectangles and totally boring. They’ve just not looked hard enough at all the different ways scrapbookers, digital, paper AND hybrid, are using them in the broadest sense of the definition. Grid pages have long been a staple for scrappers and seeing how everyone amps […]

Standout Sunday: Passport to Renewal – 4/25

Thursday Treats – Go Fly a Kite 4/22

I’ll never complain about the weather since I live in a place where it’s really almost always nice. But I will say we’ve had a few rather blustery days here recently with high winds and clear skies. It’s always fun to look outside on a windy day like that and see beautiful, colorful kites flying […]

Tuck It In Tuesday – 4/20

Don’t you just love pocket pages?

Could be rectangles, could be squares or it might be something else entirely. The […]

Sugar Babe Sunday – 4/18

There is a saying in part of the world that says “April showers bring May flowers”.  As we look at this collection of layouts from the Babes, we are reminded of that saying and how many of us are in the time of year for flowers blooming.  We asked the Babes to share one of […]
