July Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

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

The Struggle Is Real

| cristina

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!

May Adventures

We had my mom visiting for 10 days in May. We had such a great time! She left on Tuesday, and I’m already looking forward to our next get-together. Of course I took lots of photos, and I started scrapping some with the newest releases at The Lilypad:

April Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

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!

This first one is with the April BYOC from The Lilypad.
