Mixed Media Monthly – Jan. ’17 from The Lilypad

Hello and happy Friday!! I have a lot of pages to share today that were made with the newest releases from The Lilypad – 20% off through the weekend!

The January Mixed Media Monthly collection is gorgeous! I know I say that every month, but it is true! I used it to make 2 photoless pages.

Finally, I made this with the gorgeous Pia collection by Rebecca McMeen – there’s so much more in this kit than what I used! It’s all so beautiful!

There are some doll pieces in the kit, but you don’t necessarily have to use them to build da doll – I used two of the dress parts as my paint background!
Have a great weekend!

Beary Cold

So far we have not been having a very cold winter (but it’s still early!), but I recently made a page about one of the coldest day of my life… and it was last April! 😀

I am in love with those pretty animal illustrations, and it was so fun to use that template (which is 50% off through Wednesday).
Here’s to a mild winter (one can hope..)!

Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year! May 2017 bring you joy and health and everything else you wish for!
I had high hopes for posting while I was on vacation, but my blog has been sadly neglected… Well, I’m back now and I want to share the first page of 2017, made with the January BYOC from The Lilypad.

December ’16 Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

Hello hello! I’ll keep this short and sweet because Christmas is only 1 week away (eek!) and I’m running around like crazy lately (but having a blast)! 🙂 I have two pages to share made with the new Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad – I had to grab it right away even though I am plagued with a spotty internet connection at the moment, so it was a pain to download – but so worth it!!

The colors are so pretty! And the alpha stamp is really cool.

Have a great Christmas week!

Christmas Spirit

This year December sprung onto me, and between trips and craziness at work, I wasn’t ready for it. But finally, I am feeling the Christmas spirit! Christmas music is playing loud on this December weekend, and I have all my Christmas shopping done. Yay!
I have some pages to share made with this week’s new releases  at The Lilypad, which are 20% off through the weekend.

These 2 pages are made to coordinate since they are part of the same story / Shopping trip.

December Pages

I have been scarce lately… but I have a good reason: I got to spend a week in Hawaii accompanying my husband – it was our first time there, and we absolutely loved it! The weather was just perfect! And now that I am back, I have lots of photos to scrap. 🙂
I used this week’s 50% off products at The Lilypad (on sale through Wednesday), as well as this month’s BYOC collection that was released while I was away.

Shimmer Elements and Shimmer Papers by One Little Bird

Not only did I get to spend a week in Hawaii, but I also got to meet up with some online friends who live there – it was awesome!! It is so nice to have some crafty friends, if only they didn’t live so far away!

Credits:

And since we are now well into December, of course I had to scrap a page about our Elf and his two dear friends. 🙂
Have a great rest of the week!

Mixed Media Monthly: November

Hello and happy almost Friday! I am very excited to share these pages I made with this week’s newest releases from The Lilypad (20% through the weekend).

And finally, a page made using this month’s Mixed Media Monthly collection – it is so gorgeous and I look forward to spending some extra scrapping time with it this weekend!!

The papers in this collection are all so good, it was hard to pick this one to start!
Have a great weekend!

Document Your December

Hello hello! I am so happy to share with you the pages I made with the new Document Your December products that were released today at The Lilypad! I seriously couldn’t stop creating this week! I took out all my photos from last year that I hadn’t scrapped (except for my December Daily album). And everything is 30% off this weekend!

Credits:

Do you have an Elf on the Shelf? We do and it’s such a lovely tradition!

Last year I bought a selfie stick and it was perfect to take this picture! 🙂

I just love these brushes and illustrations!

This page is about one of our holiday traditions.

I love all the pages I made with the DYD, but this one might just be my favorite! The papers are so good! I printed some out to use in my December Daily album too.

Credits:

I love how this looks like it’s an open album! These are printables for your planner but here I just used them as an extra layer on my page – so fun!

Credits:

I’m so excited also to be using these products in my hybrid December Daily album for this year!! I’ll be sharing that in December here on the blog.

Day in the Life 2016

Hello and happy almost Wednesday! It’s time for the weekly 50% sale at The Lilypad and this week I had fun!! I documented my Day in the Life (from a couple of weeks ago) and I love the result!

Painted Leaves by Jacque Larsen

I don’t often participate in Ali Edwards’s Day in the Life, but this time I happened to have a number of photos for the day, so I went for it. 🙂 This page was totally inspired by the background paper, which I used as a guide for photo placement.
Have a great rest of the week! And get ready for some Christmas goodness coming on Friday!!
