Hello and happy (almost) Friday! Today is release day for the newest M3 (Mixed Media Monthly) collection at The Lilypad, and I loved using it to scrap some of the photos of recent trip I made with my parents! New releases are 20% off through the weekend!

I had fun on this page combining brushes to build my background.

This next page doesn’t use the M3, but uses another new kit released today:

I also used the M3 for my monthly recap 2-page spread for July:

I am obsessed with that pretty red/pink/green floral paper! So gorgeous!

Hello and happy almost Friday! The new Mixed Media Monthly collection is in the store at The Lilypad, and it inspired me to tell a story about my health struggles I don’t normally document in my scrapbook pages – that’s one of the reasons I LOVE the Mixed Media Monthly products. But the main reason is that the products are absolutely gorgeous… check out that painted background!

Mixed Media Monthly – June ’17 from The Lilypad

Have a great rest of the week!

Hello and happy Friday! I am so happy spring has made its arrival, although it’s amazing to realize nearly a third of the year has gone by already!
I am loving the monthly recap pages I have been putting together, and here is the one I made for April.

All the bright colors! 🙂 And here’s a look at each page.

I added a new Foxy Fix notebook to my collection last week – I need to blog about it! Here are my previous posts about these traveler’s notebooks.

And then I also made a page with the new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) collection. I love how the M3 inspires me to try new techniques. Here I blended 2 papers (the one for the background and the one with blue and white clouds and sketched trees), as well as a photo (on the bottom of the page). So fun!

Mixed Media Monthly April 2017 from The Lilypad

Have a great weekend! And save the date – May 6 is iNSD (interNational Scrapbooking Day!) and there will be some fun events and sales at The Lilypad!

Not gonna lie… it’s been a rocky week this week for me – with the attacks in Nice, France, and some drama concerning one of my husband’s volunteer jobs… So I dealt it the best way I know of… with some scrap therapy. The latest Mixed Media Monthly collection in the store today at The Lilypad was perfect for this, and to document my goals for this year, which include getting into the groove with yoga.

Have a good weekend!

Hello hello! I am enjoying a 10-day visit with my mom so I’ll keep this short and sweet. 🙂 Today it’s release day for the Mixed Media Monthly collection at The Lilypad, and I am 100% in love with these patterns and colors!!

Have a great end of the week!

I’m so in love with this month’s Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad. The colors are just so lovely!

This was such a fun page to make! The kit is 20% off through the weekend.

Hello and happy Friday! Today is a very good day- not only is it Friday, but it’s time for the new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) release at The Lilypad. I loved the kit so much this month!!
I made three pages just with the kit.

Credits:

I used this adorable heart background to list all the things I am loving right now.

Those clustered hearts are fantastic!

I love the pink and all the painted bits!
I also made two pages using some of the M3 add ons.

I used the M3 main kit in addition to some add ons here.

I hope your end of the week is a good one too!

With less than 2 weeks left in the year, it’s a good time to look back and reflect on all the things that have passed this year. I made this year in review page using the new Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad, and I love how it turned out!

The template I used is in the collection too. It has 12 slots so you can choose a picture per month; I switched it up a bit and only included photos from some months (numbered) because I also wanted to include some of the pretty patterned papers from the kit.

Hi there! I have been pretty quiet here and on Instagram lately..  Just a little overwhelmed with things. A dear friend has suddenly fallen ill in the last month (cancer), and is on his last days. So very sad.. I cannot come to terms with how quick it all happened. In light of this all, I have been reflecting on my life, and I have lots to be thankful for. Especially this time of year it is good to stop and think about all the blessings in my life. {taking a deep breath}

I have still been creating these days (and something extra special coming this way Dec. 1st.. 😉 hint hint!), this is truly one of the blessings in my life, to be able to create and express myself through scrapbooking. Today I have some pages to share made with the November Mixed Media Monthly kit from The Lilypad. It’s hard to put in words how much I love this monthly collection… it is SO good!

The first page I made is about fall:

A lot of the papers/elements/brushes in the kit really speak Christmas to me. I will be putting them to good use in my December Daily album – in particular the designs from the latest addition to the store at The Lilypad: Nancie Rowe Janitz.

And TGIF (almost)!! Have a great weekend!
