This past weekend I went to the Sweet Shoppe Designs website and found not only some fantastic new kits but a great deal! I got $50.98 worth of stuff for only $24.98! Here is what I purchased…

The new collab kit He Said, She Said at Sweet Shoppe Designs is wonderful, especially when you can get it for free! I love all the cute elements and beautiful papers. And the color scheme works for a variety of themes! You can get the kit for free when you make a purchase if $20 or more (including the price of the kit). Or you can get He Said, She Said plus the Coordinating 3″x3″ Accordion Mini Album for free with a purchase of $40 or more (including the price of both kits). The offer ends on July 29!

So now I wanted to get the He Said, She Said and Mini Album for Free so I had to fill my cart. Those two items were $20 of my purchase. Next I added Going Places - The Collection by Misty Cato. I had already posted about this one last week but was able to purchase it then. Now I could finally buy it and I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to make a layout with this collection! This kit is currently $11.99 (normally $17.45). That brought my total to $31.99. I still needed to add more items to get the He Said, She Said and Mini Album for Free.

So I added the Little Buddies kit, by Dani Mogstad and Gina Miller, which I had recently added to my wish list after seeing it on Dani’s blog. I had gone to Dani’s blog to participate in the Songbird Avenue’s Scraplift Challenge of one of Dani’s layouts using this month’s current charity kit Endless Summer, which I had blogged about 2 weeks ago. Well I am always looking for boy kits and I thought Little Buddies would be perfect. I was right! The quality is fantastic. I have yet another kit I can’t wait to scrapbook with whenever I can find the time! This kit is $7.00 so it brought my total to $38.99. I was still short to get the He Said, She Said and Mini Album for Free.

So I decided to look in New Releases section and found Little C by Melissa Bennett. I love this kit! I is so perfect for the pages I want to do of my son! And there was a bonus! You get the Little C Jack Album Free when you buy this kit! This offer is good until July 25. So I immediately added this kit to the shopping cart. The kit is $5.99, that brought my total to $44.98. Finally!

I made my purchases and with the free Jack Album, which is normally $6.00, I got $50.98 worth of kits for only $24.98. Lots of beautiful kits that I can’t wait to use! I will post some layouts later this weeks.

Songbird Avenue’s July charity kit is fantastic!!! This month Dani Mogstad joined the Songbird designers to create this beautiful kit for charity. I love the colors and the worn style of Endless Summer. I will be using this kit to scrapbook my vacation photos! And the best part is that it benefits S.A.F.E. House.

I have found a new favorite designer recently, Shabby Miss Jenn. I just love her designs. So when I won a $10 GC for use in her store I had a hard time choosing only $10 worth of kits (I couldn’t afford to buy more but I have added more to my wishlist). So here are the two kits I got:

I just loved the Wild Animals kit! The animal elements are adorable! I also think the papers and other elements are fab too! Great for trips to the zoo, but all for those layouts of your kids doing crazy things! Like in my layout below…

Lil Guys kit is soooo adorable! I just love the sweet colors. Amusingly I found that one of the pattern papers matched a plaid shirt my son was wearing in one of my photos. So I absolutely had to use it when I scrapped that photo:
