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!!

ETA: this page was featured on the Gallery Standouts (GSO) blog today.

November BYOC at The Lilypad

Aaaaah, Friday finally. And I am SO excited about this Friday, because it’s the first Friday of the month, so the new BYOC (Build Your Own Collection) is for sale at The Lilypad. And it’s such a good one!! I seriously couldn’t stop creating with it! Here’s what I made with it.

First Snow

Hello and happy Wednesday! I had fun using some of the items that are 50% off through today at The Lilypad! We got our first snow of the season last week. Only a dusting, which appeared overnight. But it stuck to the ground for a few hours, so it totally counts as first snow of the season.

Memory Pockets Monthly from The Lilypad

Hello and happy Friday! I am SO glad I was able to fit in a quick stop at the pumpkin patch earlier in the week, since it’s really gotten cold and wet (and snowy even!) around here, and I’d rather stay inside now. 🙂
And I am so happy it’s time for the latest Memory Pockets Monthly collection, because it worked perfectly with my photos!

Halloween Bash at The Lilypad

Hello! I’m not especially a fan of Halloween, having grown up in a country where we don’t celebrate it, but since living in the US it’s something you really cannot escape. 🙂 I sure don’t mind receiving trick-or-treaters, and watching scary movies is always fun. But there’s yet another source of fun this time of year: the Halloween Bash at The Lilypad, which includes a 31% sale off Halloween products, games, and challenges! I played along in a couple of them, and made this page:

Calendar Prep Time

Hello and happy Friday! It’s that time of the year when I frantically work on my 2017 calendars… I usually repurpose layouts I crated during the year to become my calendar toppers, but occasionally I make a new one too. This was the case this week, since I couldn’t resist using some of the latest releases at The Lilypad (20% off through the weekend). 🙂

Mid-Week Sale and Reflecting on My Blessings

Hello! We’ve almost made it halfway through the week, and that means it’s time for some amazing deals at The Lilypad, with select product 50% off! I had fun making these projects with some of the product on sale.

This template was really cool to use, and I love how this page turned out!

I was inspired by this collection to document a few of the many blessings in my life – I’ve been having some health issues (ugh) on top of a few other things that haven’t been going great, so it sure felt good to focus on all the good I have in my life.
Have a great rest of the week!

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!!

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day (DSD)!!! Well, technically DSD is Saturday, but at The Lilypad the celebrations are in full swing, with games, challenges, and sales. And lots of awesome new products! Here’s what I made!

I was this close to having another surgery, in fact I had the pre-op appointment this week and the surgery was supposed to be next Friday, but we decided to put it off for a short while. Fingers crossed that I don’t need it! Although it is very likely that I will. 🙁

But on to happier topics… this page is about our trip to NYC this past spring. I love these photos we took in Times Square but hadn’t scrapped them yet (except for Project Life), and this awesome collection was just perfect for them! This collection truly had everything you need to scrap NYC, it’s awesome!

Make sure you stop by and check out all the fun going on at The Lilypad… they are also having a Pollywog Creative Team Call!! This is a rare opportunity and it’s the best team in all digiland!
