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.
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!

This background paper is so beautiful!

It’s a great month indeed for the M3! 🙂
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.
I know, it isn’t for everyone.. but I love winter. Nothing prettier than a sunny winter day.
Add to that some hot pink, gold and silver..? And a fun page is made! 🙂 I used some of the products in the 50% off sale at The Lilypad.
Hello and happy weekend! I have a busy weekend ahead, with lots of work I need to get done, and some play – I got myself a new printer! 🙂 But first, I want to share with you a couple of pages I made with some awesome new releases.
First up, a collection by Mari Koegelenberg that is super trendy, with the planner craze that has taken over the scrapbooking world!
I have not quite jumped in on the planner wave myself, but I have to say that laying out the month like this really inspired me. Who knows.. I may give this a go!
Next up, a bright, happy kit and journaling cards by Sahlin Studio:
I used this to make a hybrid page. I did this before my new printer arrived so I had to be creative using colors that my old printer would print (yellow was safe ;)).
And here are a couple close looks:
Have a great weekend!
Have you been playing along in the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad? It’s not too late to join! And you can take advantage of today’s 50% sale on select products to stock up on new supplies. 🙂 I grabbed a few items from the sale and made this page for the Jan. 2 challenge – using blending modes.
I love how it turned out! I thought that those triangles resembled Christmas trees, and I love the bright colors.
Yeah, I guess I am on a roll with pages welcoming the new year. 🙂 But when I saw these new brushes by Ali Edwards, I couldn’t resist!
I knew I wanted to use one of the brushes in a bold way. So I added a gradient color overlay, and printed it out on white card stock. Then I spent a loooong time stitching around it with four different thread colors. [why do I always underestimate how long it takes to hand stitch something?? LOL.. But it was totally worth it! ;)] I thought about adding some small photos + journaling + embellishments around the word art, but then I decided to make this a 2-page layout instead.
I just added some stamping, a journaling card and a photo on the second page, and scattered a few stars throughout.
I love how this turned out!
First hybrid/paper page of 2015: done! 🙂
I am hosting a challenge up on the Studio Calico blog today. It was inspired by this card I made with a lovely stamp from the Dec. ’14 Project Life kit.

I am hosting the January 4th challenge for the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad. Today’s challenge is to make a clean and simple page. Obviously this is right up my alley, but I have some tips for you if that’s not the case for you. Check them out here. Here’s my page:

You have all month long to play in the Month of Challenges. I am blown away by all the gorgeous pages that have been created so far! Inspiration overload! So far I am keeping up quite nicely, with 3 pages made out of 4. Let’s see how far I can get. If you play in all 31 challenges, you get a free $20 gift card to the store, plus the chance to win a spot on the Creative Team!
Hello, and Happy 2015!! I hope you had a great start of the year!
The January BYOC is in the store at The Lilypad, and I used it to scrap this page:
January is the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad: one challenge each day, and if you complete them all you get a $20 gift card to the store! And a chance to become a Pollywog like me (= creative team member.. best gig ever!!). 🙂 I hope you will play along! I am hosting the Jan. 4th challenge, so look for my post on Sunday.
I played along with today’s challenge.

This is my first page scrapped in 2015, and I am in love with it!!
I also have a page to share from the January monthly gallery at write.click.scrapbook. This month’s theme was “decades”.. I was stumped at first, then I took this occasion to document something I don’t think I would have documented otherwise: my love for 50s music! 🙂
I worked on my Project Life album today, but my printer is dying and I am unable to print pictures. So frustrating! I have my eye set on a new printer, but until that happens I guess I’ll have to stick to digital pages. 🙂
