Congrats!! Email me your address and we’ll get your package in the mail!

Are you ready for our fun and exciting announcement? You guys requested it and we listened:

Retired designs are new again when you can use them in your digital layouts or print them at home! We decided to do this after we received an amazing amount of requests to bring some of these old designs and for digital products, so we thought we’d combine the two ideas! To keep if fair to our retailers our digital designs will be strictly limited to very few of our out-of-print and retired items only. We are not sure if in the future we will be adding to our digital designs, but if we do, we will always be keeping our digital designs limited to our retired items only.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the designs that will be available:

Each digital download will come with all the tags as png files, plus a printable pdf file! All the digital downloads will be available in our store by tomorrow morning at 9:00 am PST time! Please remember these are for personal use only.
We’ll do ONE MORE GIVEAWAY to end the day! This time, three people will win the digital download item of their choice! Just leave a comment to enter and the winner will be announced at 9:00 am tomorrow morning!
Thank you so much for spending the day with us and celebrating our two years in business! We look forward to the years ahead and hope you liked today’s little announcement 🙂

Basically they want their world to be pretty, stylish and a bit funky. And why not?!
Sugar Paperie’s mission is to source great products from great companies.

Some scrapbooking fun!

This past weekend I got some scrapbooking time in! I had a blast and every time I sit down to scrapbook I think “I need to do this more often!” I had the cutest picture of our baby at 5 months old and wanted to capture and remember that moment (even though she’s 4 years old now! good thing I had kept a journal!!). I used our Month to Month Baby tags and it worked out perfect! I wish I had a little booklet of her growing up, it’s amazing how fast they change and don’t even see it happening until you look back!

I made that fun flower out of layered circles cut out of a paper bag and layered them with pink tulle. I then used one of Jenny Bowlin’s new vintage buttons (which I love, love, LOVE) for the center.

I had a little extra time so I got a head start on my cards I’ll need for this summer. My cousins getting married and I plan to give her and her new husband this one on their big day: I used at tag out of our These Moments of Love set along with some Making Memories goodies, which I’m really loving right now!

Thanks for checking out my newest creations!
