Not gonna lie… it’s been a rocky week this week for me – with the attacks in Nice, France, and some drama concerning one of my husband’s volunteer jobs… So I dealt it the best way I know of… with some scrap therapy. The latest Mixed Media Monthly collection in the store today at The Lilypad was perfect for this, and to document my goals for this year, which include getting into the groove with yoga.
Hello there! I have a fun new mini album to share today – made in a traveler’s notebook! It’s no secret that traveler’s notebooks are my latest obsession, so when one of the class in the Mini Book Library at Studio Calico was about TNs, I jumped right in! (Enrollment for the bundle is closed right now but will open up for the August class, in a few weeks.
This ended up being a pretty big notebook, so I only took a few pictures of my favorite pages, and you can check out this video to see a complete walkthrough of the album.
I used stamps and washi from Sakuralala, several supplies from Studio Calico, and alpha stamps by Elle’s Studio and Kelly Purkey. I linked most supplies below, at the bottom of this post.
{{{note… this is my very first video, so please be kind! :)}}}
Note: I am on Studio Calico and Sakuralala’s creative teams but I purchased all the items linked here myself. If you use the affiliate links in this post, I’ll happily get a small commission, buy more supplies and share more projects on my blog. 🙂
If you haven’t checked it out yet, The Lilypad is hosting Six Weeks of Summer School – free inspiration, tutorials, freebies, and challenges for a chance to win some prizes! I wrote a tutorial on using journal cards and I’d love for you to check it out!
Washi tape is one of my latest obsessions. I got many of my favorites from Sakuralala (who by the way is having a 25% off sale through Monday!!), but recently I placed an order from Amazon and I am so giddy with what I got that I just had to share!
Some of these rolls came in a set of 3, but I linked them all here:
The main reason I placed this order was for the MT book washi and the MT skinny tapes, but while I was at it I decided to try these other tapes by Shinzi Katoh that are new to me.
I love using these tapes in my traveler’s notebooks, but I also use them on my scrapbook pages (I will be sharing some examples soon). I just had to have the one that looks like Little Red Riding Hood since it was my favorite fairytale as a child! 🙂
Hello hello! As is now a recurring monthly tradition, I made a page using some of the new digital products that are in the store at Studio Calico. The July kits (Pool Party) go for sale at 3 PM EST today, but here you can see a peek at a few things.
For this 8.5″x11″ hybrid page, I used a digital background paper from the Pool Party papers, and overlaid a digital stamp. The embellishments are all from my stash, and I also used an old Studio Calico stamp to add a pineapple.
Hello and happy (almost) July!! The latest BYOC collection is in the store at The Lilypad, and 20% off through the weekend! I am kinda in love with it! 🙂
I am so excited to share with you what I made with this month’s Memory Pockets Monthly: Bold collection from The Lilypad! I am in love with this month’s bright colors, and the theme!
I have been constantly on the go this month of June… but I really cannot complain! I was fortunate enough to be able to add a couple days to some work trips and turn them partly into a vacation. 🙂
And since it’s time for the weekly 50% sale on select products at The Lilypad, I started getting these trips scrapped too. I am also especially thrilled because I never have any beach photos usually, since we’re not really beach people, but this time we had some nice walks on the beach and I took some pictures! 🙂
First off, a trip to Savannah, GA, using a template that is 50% off and other products from this month’s BYOC.
I’m so excited about the latest class at Studio Calico: Design School by Catherine Davis. Catherine has always such a unique way to use product, and comes up with absolutely striking designs. I can’t wait to learn more about her creative process!
Here’s some more info about the class:
DESIGN SCHOOL
School is back in session! Join Catherine Davis, Director of Product & Design here at Studio Calico, to explore the art of creating scrapbook layouts that “wow.” In this class, Catherine reveals tips and tricks for structuring your page designs, creating movement on your page, using typography as a design element, and more. You’ll learn everything you need to know to make confident design choices and stay inspired to create gorgeous layouts!
While supplies last, Design School students will receive a free workbook to hold class inspiration. Each lesson has its own section with room for lesson notes, page ideas and sketches – use it to record what you learn in class and you’ll have a great reference tool. This workbook is sized to fit in a Traveler’s Notebook, and will ship for free, no matter where you are!
Hello there! I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve been quite busy, and traveling quite a bit. So far, it’s been a good summer and I hope it stays this way. But it’s time for the weekly 50% off sale at The Lilypad, so I had to at least scrap these 2 pages about my travels. 🙂
