Friday Releases!

| cristina

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:

Christmas in July!

| 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:

Christmas in March?!

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!

BTW, make sure to check out those fabulous templates too, because they’re on sale as well! That’s all from me for today, have a great weekend!

Happy July!

I’m no longer a guest Pollywog (sigh), but do check out the great sale going on, and the fabulous new BYOC!

This means that Krista’s store is also on sale!! She also has two gorgeous new products for the July BYOC:

I love them both! I used them to make a fun little party decoration:

July 4th Flags

July 4th Flags

And the fact that I don’t have any 4th July party planned is totally irrelevant. I can eat my watermelon in any way that pleases me, right? 😉 😀 I made a fun 4th July card too, but I’ll show that to you on July 4th. 🙂

In My Head

| cristina

I have played in all seven of the June monthly challenges at The Lilypad. The One Word Challenge was the one that got me most stumped. We had to incorporate the word “head” in the title, but I just couldn’t come up with anything. But then I got the idea for this page, and I love how it turned out!

I just listed a few of my passions: what I love to eat, what I love to photograph, and what I’ve been reading lately. Probably should have used a smaller font size to fit in a few more categories, but I didn’t want to over-crowd the page. 😉
I got a GSO at Me So Scrappy and a GSO at ScrapMatters too! 🙂

Excited for June!

I made this card for my MIL’s birthday last week. Her birthday is next Monday and I hope the card gets there on time!

I’m so excited that June is here!! Be sure to stop by tomorrow: I have a ton of pages to show you, because I’m guesting at The LilyPad this month!! I’ve been wanting to be a Pollywog for years, and during iNSD I competed in and won the Kiss the Frog contest: apart from being so much fun, it got me this coveted spot! 😉 Plus I’ll have some other very pretty stuff to show tomorrow from my designers.

Scrapping, Finally!

| cristina

I am getting back into my normal routine, and scrapped a bit finally! Of course, I started with the new releases for iNSD (and later), and pictures of my mom’s visit. 😉

First off, a page with Mari Koegelenberg’s latest kit. I am SO in love with this kit!!

She Is Here!

Then two pages with the gorgeous kit and alpha Sahlin Studio released on Friday:

These colors make me so happy! And check out the amazing alpha on my page: you can’t see it in the kit preview, but it is included in the kit and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite alphas ever!

Off to a Great Start

This last page also uses one of go-to alphas, which is on sale at 50% today for Wibbit Wednesday at The LilyPad:

I hope to be back soon to show you more pages, I still have lots of catching up to do! 😉

More iNSD Fun!

I’m late posting this, but yesterday some gorgeous new kits were released, and I really have to share! But let me start with something for today:

#1 Mom Card

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

Now, on to the goodies! Jenn Barrette has some fantastic new kits, all for sale 30% off in her shop.

I am SO in love with this kit!! I managed to do these 2 cards just hours before my mom arrived, but I can’t wait to scrap with this kit too!

I Love You Deer card

And look at these gorgeous collabs with Kristin Cronin-Barrow! One for books:

And the other for movies:

They will certainly come in handy to scrap about two of my passions! They also come as a bundle to save some $$$.

Changing gears, I have something else to show you, a quite extraordinary kit by Sahlin Studio and Ju Kneipp:

Boy, do I have some catching up to do!! All these kits are just sooo yummy!
