DSD Recap

So, have you survived DSD? I spent quite some time over at The Lilypad, chatting and playing the fun games. The sale (30% off) is going on through Tuesday so there’s still time to shop if you haven’t already. 🙂

I have not scrapped much because I am working on editing photos for my December Daily album (last year’s), but I did do one page with some of the new releases from this weekend.

Special Saturday Releases!

To make the DSD celebration extra special, after the gorgeous November BYOC releases yesterday the Lilypad designers have prepared some fantastic new releases for today as well! There is no way I could possibly scrap with all of today’s new releases, but I tried to use as many as I could, because they are all irresistible! First off, I scrapped with this super sweet kit by Kaye Winiecki:

Chocolate is a must in our family 🙂 and I happened to have some very recent pictures of chocolate covered strawberries that begged to be scrapped. 😉

Then I used a gorgeous travel kit by one of the many talented guest designers, Fruitloop Sally, which was perfect to scrap our car ride when my mom came to visit:

And more from guest designers Sabrina Dupre, Kitty Designs and Fruitloop Sally!

I love these bright colors!

Happy DSD!

It’s Digital Scrapbooking Day! It’s one of my favorite times of the year, with great sales and fabulous new releases! The celebration at The Lilypad this weekend will be lots of fun. To kick off the party, the November BYOC is in the store, and there is a free with $15 purchase kit – it’s a huge and beautiful collaboration called Things That Matter Most:

I used it to make a page for one of the special DSD challenges that give you a chance to win a gift card:

This picture was by no means a great picture, but I love how it turned out after the photo processing. :)! Here are some of the BYOC goodies I played with:

This pack is huge and truly fantastic. It is more than a template pack – the templates come with some very cool elements too (like paint splatters and frames), plus there is a paper pack and an alpha. A really cool concept!

I combined all of these fabulous goodies on this page:

And here are more BYOC products that I have used and love:

I love how the cutout frames made it easy to do this multi-photo page! And I am totally in love with that deep green color!

Last night I went on a scrapping marathon and did another page with more BYOC goodies:

I hadn’t realized I never scrapped DH’s cake pictures from last year, I’m so glad I dug them up! 🙂

New Kit by Leora Sanford for DSD!

I am so excited to share my first page for Leora Sanford’s CT! She has this gorgeous new kit out today for DSD and her store is on sale 30% off!

I spent the weekend and beginning of the week in Washington, DC for a conference, but the first thing I did when I came back home was scrap with this gorgeous kit. The colors are sooo perfect for pictures of autumn!

This kit is sooo gorgeous! The colors are just beautiful!

Leaves Are Falling

I don’t have much to share today, just one page, but I’ve been busy this week! I am leaving Sunday on a business trip so I’ve been trying to get as much scrapping as I can before that – BYOC is next week, and then there’s NSD weekend, so there’s so much to scrap with! Here’s the kit I used out of today’s beautiful new releases at The Lilypad (20% off throughout the weekend):

The colors and the doodled elements in this kit are just gorgeous, and I love how this page turned out!

I am happy to say that the leaves in our front yard have mostly been blown away by the wind, and this saves us from a lot of work. Unfortunately our backyard is fenced in so we do have to pick up the leaves there, but they haven’t all fallen yet. I will try to take pictures before and after our yard work so I can use the pretty rake and leaves bag elements in this kit!

I must share a project I recently made with a great hybrid template by Simply J Studio and some of the ScrapMatters September Mix-a-Kit. I love how it turned out!
