With lots of great new products from Bree! It’s been a little quiet around here lately… too quiet for me. So I’m sneaking on over here to share some of the cool new things Bree has released over the last couple weeks.

~~~~~
First off, you don’t want to miss this month’s Treat of the Month Collection; Inspired by Sara. As usual, this template set is available for the month of August only!

I think my favorite of the new products is this little cutie! Pixel Pieces: School Rules is the latest Pixel Pieces paper piecing template set, cleverly designed for you to customize some really cool page elements.

check out this great example layout from tuneskids…

and finally, the newest addition to the Solitaire family; Solitaire #14. A darling, one of a kind layout template that is quick on the go when you’re in need of a little inspiration.

Guess what they let me mix it up again! My absolute favorite type of scrapbooking. Take a template and use that as your starting point. Mix everything up and really make it your own!

I loved this Solitaire template that Bree has out. It is Solitaire# 11, found HERE at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Here are a few layouts that the CT did. Great examples of how the templates can be mixed up just a little and others mixed up a lot!

Take your favorite template and mix it up, what do you like about your new layout? How is it mixed up from the original template. Move an element, add photos, delete an element….MAKE IT YOUR OWN!

If you’ve never used a template before, check out Bree’s Store at Sweet Shoppe Designs!

Thanks for mixing it up with me!

We love to see what you create using Bree’s amazing templates! Here are some of the latest and greatest I found in the Sweet Shoppe gallery.

Gardeners by rach3975
This template from Collection #26, gave her the perfect design to show off these special photos. I really like how she used the bottom portion of the layout to ‘grow’ a border of blossoms.

Odd Couple by jessica31876
I really like how she rotated an Inspired by Kasia collection template to get a quirky angle for this darling photo.

Creating a month in review layout is a great use for Bree’s Perpetual Calendar template! I really like how she layered all the fun elements and only added a few special photos from the month’s activities.

Busy Little Bee by *Kelly*
I love this brightly colored, fun layout she created using an Inspired by Peppermint collection template.

I chose one template (#127, top center in the image below) to show off the various looks each template can be transformed into! Have you scrapped a layout with this template?

What I love about Bree’s templates is they are Launch Pads, lets take a look what I mean. Some days I just can’t find enough photos to do a template as is or I just don’t want to, but launch pads get my creative juices flowing and I can scrap what I want to.  Our wonderful team has mixed up

Solitaire #8

So when you feel stuck grab a Launch Pad and feel free to mix it up!

Summer is here and when you’re not outside having fun and soaking up the sun, you’re inside trying to stay cool. One thing my dd loves to do is read! It is a great way to pass the time on those extra-hot summer days or on long car rides to our favorite vacation spot. Even if you don’t have big plans for your summer break, books are a great way to keep the kids occupied around the house. My little tip for you is to stop by your local Borders or Barnes & Noble bookstores and check out their summer reading programs, your kids could win a free book for reading this summer!

All this ties into this months cool hybrid project that I found in the Sweet Shoppe gallery. BrodoNY0123 created a very clever Library Pocket Album organizer using the Bookworks #1 set, to help keep track of books read and purchased. She has a section for each of her kids and herself too. It is sized to conveniently fit in her purse and is a handy product year round.

It’s time for Rising Stars again..where we highlight gorgeous layouts by non-CT members using Bree’s products! I’ve been browsing the gallery, and found some fantastic layouts. Check them out!

ColoMich94 used Bree’s Collection 25 on this page. I love the fun pics and the larger pic at the bottom is a great touch!

And gerich used the Perfect Pairs Short and Stout with Amanda Heimann and Jaedyn Smith in this adorable page!

Bree is back with brand new Launch Pad Solitaire templates, numbers 11 and 12. Take a look at Solitaire #12 and the various ways Bree’s team used it to launch their layouts into orbit!
