Love Cards

| cristina

I made a page using some new printables by Ali Edwards.

The cards come in bold, fun colors and I picked some black and white papers in my stash to go along with them.

I love how this page turned out! I added some journaling inside the pocket too.

Memorandum

There’s a new collection in the Digital Design Essentials store, and I love the fresh colors!

I took the title of the collection literally and made myself a visual reminder of the happy moments of this year so far.

I especially needed this reminder as I have not had the best start to the week.. I am snowed in!! I tried to get out of the driveway this morning and failed, so home I stayed. Of course it has to snow on a Monday, and when DH is out of town. Ugh! Oh well… it’s a good thing I love snow! 🙂

Be Mine

I have one more page to share. It’s made with the latest kit by Mari Koegelenberg, which is 20% off right now.
I am not a fan of purple, but the shade in this kit was too yummy to pass up! I paired it with grey and gold.

This page came together in no time, but I love it!

Happy Friday!

Oh happy day! I am doubly happy today. First, I had a major work deadline that got me busy for over a month, but starting tomorrow I get my life back. And second, there’s a bunch of fabulous new products in the store at The Lilypad today, including the January Memory Pockets Monthly kit!
I made three pages with it so far. I love the alpha that comes with the kit!! First off, I made a page to which I added these lovely brushes by Ali Edwards:

This page is also not a pocket page, but it uses a bunch of the cards from the kit.

And then I made this pocket page. Perfect colors to scrap about this past month.

There are also some fabulous new products in the store, and here’s two I simply couldn’t resist.

I made a page with some highlights from 2014 for one of the challenges in the Month of Challenges (there’s still a bit of time to play along!!).

Love Is in the Air

I am smitten by the lovely new kit by Mari Koegelenberg and Sugarplum Paperie! Such pretty, pretty colors!

I have been super busy for the past 8 weeks or so, and have not been taking many pictures at all. But last weekend we went out for a bit to enjoy the pretty winter scenery, and I am glad we got a few good shots, including this one.

January Mixed Media Monthly

| cristina

It’s time for a new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit at The Lilypad! This month’s theme is travel, and I am in love with it!!

I’ve got a few trips lined up, so it seems like this kit was made for me! 🙂 I used it and some add ons to make 2 photo less page and a regular page.

On this page I documented the favorite places I’ve been to. I’d return to any of these in a heartbeat!! I added a short sentence for each place. I loved making this page, it was like a trip down memory lane!

It’s a great month indeed for the M3! 🙂

I Need A Vacation

| cristina

Truth…

I tried something new this week. I combined the gorgeous Enough brushes by Ali Edwards and the Holiday Hangover digital kit by Allison Pennington (50% off today!!!) to make a 6″x8″ page. I added some stamping in black ink and some embellishments to finish off the page.
I have fun experimenting with this size! And it was a very therapeutic page to make. 🙂

Yeah so my new printer is all installed and ready to go. I like it. Still need to figure out the right setting for 4″x6″ borderless printing though as it’s just a tiny bit off.
