For the second edition of Friday Finds, I am going to focus on the new year! Digital scrapbooking supplies to help you scrap your 2023 goals, and memories. And I am going to throw in some planner goodies as well. I am not a planner gal. But I know a lot of digital scrapbooking enthusiast are.
And as always...Everything is linked to their counterparts in the store. I am not set out to have these series filled with designs from the creative teams I am on. However, as they are all awesome, they are bound to pop up from time to time. If you want to know what teams I am on, check the "My Creative Teams" tab at the top of this site. With that in mind, I will make the usual transparency disclaimer. The creative teams I am on I get their products for free. That is in return for making sample layouts for advertisement purposes. I am not required to post anything about them here at Shawn Bear Scraps. If it makes it here, it is because I super love them! Now on to the fun stuff!!

| Documenting the new beginnings in your life, it’s fresh start and full of anticipation for all the new things to come. Document your goals, your interests and everything new this year. The Beginnings Digital Scrapbooking collection has all the things that you need to document your new beginnings. |
A beautifully colored and designed kit. This is a kit/collection that you could use for any season of 2023! I especially love the clear stickers in this.
 |
| A digital scrapbooking collection by Amanda Yi, **Hello January,** is inspired by a new start to a new year. Fantastic elements, papers and extras will make documenting the first month easy and fun. Perfect for layouts, calendar pages, planners, travel notebooks, journals and more! |
This collection is jammed packed full of everything you need to scrap your January, New Year, and all of 2023! Fantastic pocket cards and word art. The bits and paint are my favorite though.

| Celebrate You - Planner Nerd Extras by Clever Monkey Graphics contains several planners in different colors (not sized for printing) along with a grocery list, habit tracker, and cleaning list - each both decorated and one less decorated - but both versions fine for printing if you wish. |
Here is the great planning items I told ou about. I am not a planner, like I said. But these planner pages are fantastic!! And the kit below is FREE with any $10 purchase at Sweet Shoppe Designs when you make between now and January 27th when their newest releases go live. (6pm est).

| I really want to be a planner nerd. I love the idea of the organization and easy ways to see what's happening, etc. However, I have failed at using planners. What's a girl to do? Why make a planner and habit tracker kit of course. I've learned so much researching this kit and I think I just might have to become a habit tracker nerd. Celebrate You: Planner Nerd by Clever Monkey Graphics explores the many fun and even artsy areas of setting up your planner or drawing out your dot planner and more. The colors are cheerful so you can smile as you scrap about your adventures in the world of planners, trackers, and stickers! |
I love a good alpha! And this one is all shiny and new like the new year. I also think it has a cool balloon look to it. Which is great for new year layouts. But the button alphas are great for year round!
Word art!!! These are great addition for any new years layout. You can also add them to your photos. My favorite is the one with the peace sign and the one in the text bubble.
Gosh, I love gnomies. Most of my Christmas decorations are gnomies. My tree topper is one too! And I am already starting to gather Valentines Day decorations....yep...gnomes! So these just speak to me and I love them and you will see them pop up on my layouts for sure!
 |
| The 'Chronicled' collection is designed to help you document all of the big events in life and also the little everyday things that otherwise get forgotten when you're putting together your scrapbooks and albums. Included in this digital kit, you'll find 22 lightly-textured 12x12 digital papers (12 patterned + 2 more alternates; 10 solid) + 74 digital embellishments, all of which coordinate with the entire 'Chronicled' collection. |
Last but not least another great chronicling digital scrapbooking collection. Great for those every day moments and new year memories and photos!
Well, that is it for me today. I hope you enjoy these and found something you like. make sure you like me up in the comments with your favorite new year finds! Or layouts! Or photos! I love seeing what memories you are making and keeping. And the supplies you use to do so.
La'Shawn is a 39 year old wife and mother. She works full time outside the house as a customer service rep for a small roll steel plant. She has lived in Georgia (in the states) her entire life. You can currently find her just a few hours north of Atlanta. Much closer to Chattanooga, TN though. She has been digital scrapbooking since 2008. She was looking for a way to document her son growing up before her eyes. After looking around a bit, she found digital scrapbooking, and never looked back. She has been on many creative teams (solo & stores) in the past 11 years. Her style leans more towards the traditional, and she never met a kit that she couldn't scrap with. She loves patterns, bright colors, and all the elements all the time! Creating clusters on her layouts is what she loves doing the most. Making sure every piece is where it should be. Let La'Shawn scrap for you! Are you looking for a creative team member? La'Shawn is looking for a few more teams to create for and promote. Find out more about her digital scrapbooking history, her contact information, her gallery, and more HERE!
Happy Scrapping, Happy New Year & Happy Friday!
