Hello and happy Friday! It’s another weekend of fun planned at The Lilypad, with new releases and the Halloween Bash games and challenges, plus a 31% sale on all Halloween products! I was on a roll this week, and made 4 pages.

We went to the pumpkin patch this week so of course I had to scrap that right away. 🙂

I also used this kit to dress up Bart for one of the popular games – Kiss the Frog. Doesn’t he look adorable? 🙂 I hope you’ll play along!

Have a great weekend!

September ’17 Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

Hello! I’ve been quiet lately as life has been throwing us a few curve balls (blah), plus I started boxing up my craft supplies and prepping for our move, so I’ve been quite busy. But then one night I sat down to play with the new Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad, and boy did I have fun!! Here’s what I made.

These kits are so much fun to use. I always end up making something totally unexpected, and I love it!

It’s hard to pick a favorite among these three pages, but I think it’s this last one.

Memory Pockets Monthly: Narrative

| cristina

Hi there! I have been quiet lately, for a number of reasons, including this one: we’re buying a new house! We found a place we absolutely love, but the whole process has been incredibly stressful and we’ll be so glad once the closing is done! I made a page to document the ordeal and timeline of this wait using the newest Memory Pockets Monthly collection from The Lilypad.

I was inspired by the wood speech bubble outline so I build the design of my page repeating it on the page and adding different patterns and journaling cards.

I took this photo a few months ago and held on to it because I loved it so much, but when I saw these products designed by Lynne-Marie I knew it was time to scrap it!

Goodbye July

I am saying goodbye to July with a few pages using the July BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) from The Lilypad – the August BYOC is released this Friday! I had so much fun using it to document the trip I made in June with my parents!

I also really enjoyed using some older templates by Valorie Wibbens for these pages – they make it so easy to build a page!

Look Ahead – Memory Pockets Monthly: Observations

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! This week has been an emotional roller coaster, waiting for important news, and waiting, and waiting… hopefully things will settle down some today. So I was certainly in the mood for some scrap therapy with the latest Memory Pockets Monthly collection, released today at The Lilypad.

I absolutely love these colors – gray, yellow and pink. And those floral patterns from some of the 3″x4″ cards included in the kit are so pretty!
