Mari Koegelenberg and Sugarplum Paperie have a new fun collab for NSD! I love these bright colors!

I scrapped a picture of the first wildflowers that came out this year – a sure sign of spring!

It’s Special Saturday at The Lilypad, with dozens of new fantastic releases! And I scrapped, oh yes I scrapped! 😉
These two next pages are done with an awesome quick page set, onto which I added a few extra goodies. 🙂


How’s your NSD going? I have been scrapping today, working on my Project Life album. 😉
The May BYOC has arrived at The Lilypad! In addition, the iNSD festivities are in full force, with fun games (and prizes!), a storewide 30% off sale and a free with purchase kit, so this is bound to be an exciting weekend! 🙂 I scrapped a few pages and made a few cards, so here they come.

I love this shade of green!

This card is for the hybrid challenge – I hope you’ll play along for the chance to win a GC!



creashens’ new kit is full of happy colors! And it is on sale for only $1!!! It was perfect to scrap these pictures of our pretty tulips. 🙂

Are you ready for iNSD?? (interNational Scrapbooking Day) The celebrations start tomorrow!
Hi there! NSD is coming up (I do have some work to do this weekend, but I hope to squeeze in some crafty time too!), but I have a page to share in the meantime. I made this for a color challenge on the Crate Paper blog. I love how it turned out!

I used the Maggie Holmes collection that I LOVE so much (the background paper, wooden clothespin, bow and the fabulous gold glitter Thickers!), plus the light blue paper from the 6×6 paper pad of the Fourteen collection. I added some sequins and wood veneer by Studio Calico, and a vintage Studio Calico bird stamp embossed in aqua Zing, a doily and some glitter tape by American Crafts. I recently bought some gold thread for my sewing machine, and I am in love! 😉 Here are some details:
I added a brad to attach a tag below the layered photo+picture, and the tag pulls out..
I added my journaling on the tag using my typewriter.
I hope you liked this project!
I have some awesome news to share! I was asked to contribute to a year-long Project Life class over at the French website entreARTistes. Check it out:

I cannot believe the talent that is surrounding me in this photo collage!! I’m still pinching myself for being asked. 😉 Here’s a list of the contributors:
Karine Cazenave-Tapie, Céline Navarro, Edwige Bufquin, Amy Tangerine, Ola Mamok, Lisa Truesdell, Sasha Farina, Natalia Bun, Cristina C. (THAT’S ME!!), Kelly Purkey, Liz Tamanaha, Leena Loh, Janna Werner, Marcy Penner, Wai Sam, Magali Maleinge, Emma Chauvin, Evelyn Pratiwi Yusuf, Cécile Pottier, Soraya Maes and Geralyn Sy.
The class is offered in French, and each week of the year there will be a new PDF full of inspiration. Heck, I would say that it’s great inspiration even if you don’t speak French! 😉 I will be contributing two PL spreads throughout the year. I finished my Week 13 last week and haven’t shared it on the blog, because I am planning to use it for the class (it’s one of my faves ever, and I am so excited about how it turned out!). I will check if I can show a peek or two later on on my blog. 😉
creashens has a brand new kit in her store, and it makes me so happy with these bright colors! I made a quick page this morning – I love all the brushes/stamps!

I am 100% in love with that patterned paper that I used on the right. So pretty! I’m thinking I need to print it out and put it in my PL album!
Hello Friday! The weekend couldn’t have gotten here sooner this week! I’ve been so busy! I will have to work during the weekend too, but at least I can do it from home. 🙂 Have you seen the awesome new releases at The Lilypad? I grabbed this gorgeous kit by Paislee Press:
And now, I will let you peek into my very messy craft corner. 🙂

Somehow the desk area always gets covered in piles of stuff while I create. 😉 Is your craft space clean or messy?
There is a gorgeous new collection at Digital Design Essentials, and I am in love with these pretty colors! Here is a look at the papers:
I thought that pretty black and white paper was the perfect backdrop for this picture of DH and me – it gives it a formal look and makes the colors pop even more.

I’ll have another page to share soon, this collection is so much fun!
ETA 4/18: and here’s the second page I made with this collection!

Being a fast scrapper, I thoroughly dislike doing extractions (that’s why you see so few of them on my pages!), but these photos had to be extracted, don’t you think? 😉
Jenn Barrette’s new kit (20% off today!) is perfect to scrap the first few pictures of spring! The journaling cards are adorable too!
I made a hybrid page and had so much fun putting it together! It’s 8″x8″.

I used mists (Heidi Swapp Color Pop teal, Heidi Swapp Color Pop primrose, Studio Calico Mister Huey buttercup), sequins and some stitching to add more texture to the page. Here are a couple of details:

That huge blob on the background was a major mist spill (taught me that you shouldn’t be scrapping when you are nervous!), but it turned out to be a happy accident in the end. 🙂

I also have another page to share (didn’t have time to blog it yesterday), using creashens’ latest kit and accompanying products, which are just adorable! I loved the blue in the kit, but I ended up with this red+green color scheme that I was digging. I think I need to make another page with the blue now! 🙂

Have a fabulous weekend!
