Cathy (Scrappycath) is hosting the latest It’s In the Cards challenge at ScrapMatters, and she made a fabulous template for it! Here is the card I made to play along:

It’s really fun to turn the wheel and see what appears in the window! 🙂

August Already?!

August 1, 2011 | cristina

August is here and the new monthly challenges at The Lilypad are posted! I made a page for the formula challenge, for which we have to make a page using only 1 paper, 1 element, 1 picture, 1 alpha, 1 font and 1 color.

I cannot believe August is here already! It’s going to be a busy month for me so I’m afraid there won’t be much scrapping/crafting from me this month. But apart from work, work, work, DH and I are planning an impromptu trip too, so it’ll be fun! 🙂

ETA: I got a GSO (gallery standout) for this page! 🙂

ETA2: I also got a GSO at Me So Scrappy. 🙂

ETA3: I got LOTW (layout of the week) at Me So Scrappy! 🙂

Circus Fun!

I have scrapped these pages about a month ago, and was waiting to share them when the kit was in the store, so here goes, finally:

I love this kit by Scrap’it Designs! It is so versatile and fun! I used it to scrap my favorite picture from my mom’s visit.

And then I made a photo-less page.

I’m sorry for not being able to share the journaling, since I’m talking about other people, but let me say that scrapping this page was very therapeutic!

Friday Releases!

It’s Friday, and there are some fabulous new releases at The Lilypad! First off, a fantastic collab by Sahlin Studio and Kate Hadfield:

and there are some great additional packs too:

As you must have learned by now if you’re a follower of this blog, I don’t have any camping pictures, but that’s not a problem! This kit is very versatile and works great for any outdoor pictures or hybrid projects! Here’s a card I made with it:

July 22, 2011 | cristina

There’s a great sale going on at The Lilypad on Christmas products, which includes today’s new releases! And there are fun games and challenges in the forum, make sure you check them out! Here’s a lovely new Christmas kit by Karah Fredricks that I used:

and I paired it with this new alpha by Sahlin Studio:

I used both to scrap a page about Christmas gifts:

Journaling:

In the past few years I have to say I’ve always been pretty good at getting Christmas presents well in time, but this year I beat all records for sure: it was March when we bought these two gorgeous necklaces for our moms!

And then I used this Christmas kit to scrap a non-Christmas page: it’s the theme of one of the fun challenges running at The Lilypad for Christmas in July!

New Releases!

July 22, 2011 | cristina

I have so many gorgeous new products to show today!! Let’s start with this fabulous collab by Erica Zane and Jenn Barrette, at ScrapMatters:

This kit is fantastic! The colors make me so happy, and the doodled elements and papers are so gorgeous! I fell in love with this paper, so I made this page with it:

Next, there is a seriously awesome new kit by Valorie Wibbens at The Lilypad.

I scrapped this page this morning during breakfast, because I could not wait to use the kit! And I’m dying to get back scrapping and use the other fabulous papers!

Journaling:

Today, a Friday, I was working at the kitchen table and I got up to get a glass of milk. I glanced out the window and I saw a fawn just outside out backyard. DH was out, unfortunately, but I had time to take a few pictures. Then, after the fawn walked away, I went outside and saw that in fact there are two fawns, not just one.

What a fun Friday! And I have more to share in a bit!

Messy Inked Templates

July 20, 2011 | cristina

I love these templates by Amy Martin that are 50% off today for Wibbit Wednesday:

I’m not much of a template scrapper, because I generally find it faster to come up with a design myself, based on the orientation and size of my pictures, but recently I have been using templates a lot more, because some are just too pretty to resist! These are so much fun, with the ink splatters! Here’s my page:
