Hello March!

| cristina

Hello and happy March! I’ve been super busy with work lately, but I have also been having great fun with the newest releases from The Lilypad. This week the March BYOC (Build Your Own Collection) was released.

Supplies:
Lucky Me Papers, Lucky Me Elements and Lucky Me Layered Artsy Transfers by Dawn Inskip
Then & Now | Elements and Then & Now | Alphas by Pink Reptile Designs

I had fun making this page with two photos taken 11 years apart!

Supplies:
Spring Vibes Paper Pack, Spring Vibes Elements by paislee press
Pen and Watercolor Sketches, Expressions No. 1 and Expressions No. 2 by Rebecca McMeen

I love the pretty colors on this page! Alas, we got a foot of snow since this photo was taken, but I cannot complain – I love snow. 🙂 I think it’s going to melt pretty soon.

Supplies:
Pen and Watercolor Sketches, Expressions No. 1 and Expressions No. 2 by Rebecca McMeen
Lovely Day Painted Letters by Allison Pennington

These products by Rebecca McMeen are absolutely gorgeous – look at that floral composition! I didn’t add much to the page because it was perfect as is!

This last page was made using older product, and for the Digital Art Journaling for Scaredy Cats class by Tangie Baxter. It was very therapeutic!

Lyrics by Queen (Somebody to Love)
Supplies: Mixed Media Monthly June ’16 from The Lilypad

And here’s one more page I made in the class – combining a bunch of products (10 different ones, picked at random). I chose to use Mixed Media Monthly collections because I love them, but I find that I rarely go back to use a kit after the month is over, so this was a great way to rediscover them!

I am getting ready for the digital art journaling class by Tangie Baxter that starts on February 7th! It’s on sale for 65% off right now. I’m really excited for this class, as art journaling is something that is somewhat foreign to me, yet all the lovely digital products at The Lilypad for it always entice me.
