August New Studio Art

We have a wonderful variety of art to share with you this month—colorful school-themed kits, rough and tough Western pieces, and two fun, feminine collections. Take a look and get inspired!



Did you attend a rodeo or go horseback riding this summer? Maybe you have a cowboy or cowgirl in your life? Our new Little Buckaroo collection, by Peppermint Creative, lets you “giddy up” and get going on rodeo, riding, or Western themed projects. “Hometown Rodeo,” a 12 x 12 scrap page, features some of the great pieces from this kit and is available as template 91562.


Let’s move from rough and tough to soft and sweet with this darling kit, Blooming, by Jady Day Studio of Sweet Shoppe. A beautiful color pallet and lovely accents adorn this cute collection—perfect for fun feminine projects. The 24 x 18 poster, “Bloom Each Day,” template 91601, uses this collection's art to celebrate the happy arrival of a baby girl.



August is the month for back-to-school preparation, new grades, new teachers and new friends! For all your school-themed projects, we’ve got four great kits by Peppermint Creative. The Colored Pencils and Crayons collections give you fun embellishments that add just the right touch to your school-themed creations. The 8 x 8 scrap page “S is for School,” template 91561, cleverly puts all those crayons to work to make a fun teacher gift and classroom décor piece mounted in a cute coordinating frame.


Use our School Zone Paper collection and School Zone Elements for back-to-school scrap pages, classroom year books, teacher cards, gifts and more! The 12 x 12 scrap page, “School Friends,” template 91558, combines pieces from both collections.




Finally, our fresh August offerings include the charming new collection, “Summer Cottage,” by Sweet Shoppe’s Melissa Bennett. Use this art to create beautiful cards and home décor projects like the 7 x 5 greeting card, “Merci Beaucoup,” template 91579, and the 12 x 12 canvas, "HOME," template 91557.

May New Studio Art

If you’ve noticed Dad’s special day creeping closer on the calendar, you’ll appreciate the May art that we’ve lined up for you. To celebrate Dad in style this Father’s Day, we’re bringing you new art from barbeques to basketballs, along with just-right word art to let Dad know how much you care.

From string-wrapped cardboard tags to grungy metal gears, “The Dads in My Life,” from Pickleberrypop, contains enough manly elements to make Dad something really special this Father’s Day, while providing lots of new masculine elements for year-round use. Add Faye Terlouw’s “My Man Word Art,” also from Pickleberrypop, and you’ve got a perfect pair of collections to recognize Dad.



Looking for a little whimsy or a less serious take on gifts or greetings for Father’s Day? Try the “My Dad Rocks” papers from Emily Merritt of the Lily Pad. And if Dad or the kids are into basketball, here’s a brand new collection for the hoop fans. It’s called “Slam Dunk” and is from Pickleberrypop designer Lindsay Jane.



For the active dad or to document your family’s travels, “Recreational Icons,” from Sahlin Studios at the Lily Pad, is a bright and useful collection you’ll turn to again and again. With its map-like symbols depicting boating, camping, hiking, fishing, photography, swimming, horseback riding and much more; you’ll find lots to make vacation storybooking faster and easier.

Taking a slightly different direction, this month we also offer a huge collection from Sweet Shoppe’s Shawna Clingerman called “I Can.” With elements and word art that work for heroic efforts like sports victories, weight loss or many endeavors that require determination and will power; use this collection to celebrate a wide range of special accomplishments.



For a feminine counterpoint to the Dad collections, check out “Sweet Caroline” by Eva Kipler of the Sweet Shoppe. This pink, orange and gold collection is full of the whimsical art you need to make a card that says “I love you,” or a page that celebrates your sister, mother or daughter. This month we’re also offering “Joy Without Measure” from Sekada Designs from our French art provider Digital Crea. Designed to be a matching companion to last month’s “Away From You,” “Joy Without Measure” is from the same designer, in the same palette; doubling the usefulness of both collections.

March New Studio Art

Check out this month’s eclectic bundle of art. It includes faith-focused symbols, Easter bunnies and spring offerings along with weddings, space motifs and winter sports!

Our first two collections “Journal Graph Cards” and “A Spring Day: Papers,” are in coordinating colors and come from Sahlin Studio of the Lily Pad. These pastel collections work together beautifully for any project on any topic at any time of year.

As spring approaches, fluffy bunnies and faith-focused symbols are often what you search for in our art offerings. This month we’ve added a little of both. “Spring Bunnies” from Digital Crea is a light-hearted spring collection with five adorable bunnies, spring elements and papers all in a riot of fun colors. Perfect for Easter basket or bucket decorations, documenting the egg hunt or the day’s new clothes, you’ll return to this cute collection again and again. And if you want to make spring pages with a more faith-focused perspective, we’ve added “Collection of Crosses” by Shanna Vineyard to give you more choice in meaningful Christian accents. This wide variety of crosses goes from ornate to dainty styling and will be the perfect accent for all your special occasion pages.

March and April are notorious for wet weather in many areas, so one of our March art offerings is the whimsical “When Skies Are Gray” collection from the Sweet Shoppe. With its umbrellas, clouds and rain boots; it’s the perfect collection for rain puddle or weather-related projects or pages.

Joining collections designed for younger family members this month, and also from the Sweet Shoppe, is our “Space Cadet” kit. The perfect collection for out-of-this-world birthday cards, invitations, pages or projects; this cleanly styled offering is sure to please any aspiring astronaut or space-crazy kid.

Wedding season is not far away and so this month we’ve added the absolutely exquisite collection “Champagne Romance” by Becca. With a full shimmery silver alphabet, wonderful word art and gorgeous white and off-white accents, this will be a collection you’ll want to use to celebrate the new couple or to feature historic wedding photos.

A surprising collection also joins our March offering this year, but one that's long overdue. Many of you live in colder climates where winter sports are a big part of everyday life right up through April. We recently discovered we were lacking in art for skis, snowboards and other winter sports gear, but "Fronstbite" will come to the rescue! With snow gear from hats to skis, you’ll now be able to do justice to those fabulous photos of your family outings on the mountains!
