  Ready for NSD?
Eeeek. It’s May. And National Scrapbooking day is tomorrow!! Do you have crafty plans? I have school meetings in the morning, but after that I plan to get crafty. Yay!
In the meantime, here’s a couple of pages from me. The first is for the write.click.scrapbook May gallery. The theme was “everyday”.

It was my first page with the oh-so-trendy pie chart, and I like how it turned out.
Next up, I had fun with creashens’ new kit! Oh, that pink+yellow combo has me smitten!

Happy NSD! Make sure to stop by at The Lilypad for all the fun games, and to kiss a certain frog… 😉
At Sea Cards
I’m late in posting this, but Sahlin Studio and Britt-ish Designs’ latest installment of the Project Mouse series is so much fun!
Perfect for cruises, sea/lake, and so much more! I made two hybrid cards with it.
Here they are one by one.
I was inspired to make a round card and used my newly acquired Big Shot to cut the circle.
I hope you had a great weekend! Alas, I have not had any crafty time this weekend.. too much work/study to do. Next weekend is National Scrapbooking Day so I am really hoping to get some scrapbooking time.. but it’s not looking good! Do you have plans for NSD?
Hoppy Easter!
OK.. Easter is tomorrow, but I just have to share this adorable new kit by Jenn Barrette (20% off today) and the card I made with it!
These colors are just so pretty, and they look so vibrant when printed out on matte paper! I made a trifold card.
Happy Easter!
Hello Friday!
I am thrilled that it’s Friday! After a crazy weather swing from the 80s to the 30s, we are back in the 50s and I am enjoying it. I have lots of pages to share today! (Ok.. just 3 but it’s more than I usually have ;))
First off, I played with some of the new releases at The Lilypad (20% off all weekend long), and let me tell you.. I really had fun! Here’s what I used:
The first page is somewhat Easter themed – we made these cookies a few weeks back, but they are bunny shaped. 🙂

Switching gears, I also made a page with the new lovely kit by creashens. I love all the watercolor touches in this kit, and the colors are so pretty!

Hybrid Tip!
I picked up a tip on instagram and I feel it will be a game changer for my Project Life. I tend to rarely include hybrid cards in my album because I don’t want to bother filling up a full 11×8.5 sheet of paper to print out.. So using a 6×4 sheet of paper is the perfect solution! Granted, it’s more expensive per journaling card than the larger paper, but totally worth it for me if it gets me to print more!
What brand of photo paper do I use? I go with Canon – I find it has excellent value. I use glossy 4×6 for photos, and matte 8.5×11 for hybrid projects. And now I will also use the matte 6×4 for Project Life cards.
Playing with Paper
After a couple of panicky work emergencies, I can finally take a breath and rejoice that the warmer weather has arrived! Granted, it is not yet here to stay for good, as we likely will be getting some snow later in the week, but I am choosing to ignore that for now. 🙂
I have been super busy with work, but today I carved out a couple hours for myself and got crafty. It was fun to play! I made a card using the lovely collection Sahlin Studio made for the April BYOC at The Lilypad.
I also grabbed the free April template on the Sahlin Studio blog and used it for my card. 🙂

In my opinion, enamel dots are just the right touch for any project. 🙂 The same is true for mini alphas.
April BYOC
Well, hello and happy Friday! Today’s a good one, because it’s BYOC time at The Lilypad!!
I based my page on a navy/gray, yellow and orange color scheme. I love how it turned out!

I just love how it turned out! It also was scrap therapy for me, since I scrapped it at the low point of an awful week. I just love this hobby/creative outlet!
Retirement Sale… and a Walk Down Memory Lane
I love a good sale, and there’s a great one going on at The Lilypad right now. Sadly, several products are being retired to make space for new ones.. and the good news is that there’s plenty of deals to be made!
Here’s this page I made to scrap this week’s events:
