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!

Wednesday Pages

Hello and happy Wednesday! I have a couple pages to share made with products from The Lilypad (half off today!!).

Fall is nearly here, and it’s time for me to start working on my 2017 calendars! Since 2009, I’ve been making calendars as Christmas gifts for our parents, and this year Scrapping with Liz just made my life easier with her new calendar templates!

I also made a page using this kit that was meant for family trees/heritage photos, and I pulled out one of the old photos of my grandparents from when they had just met.

These old photos are probably my most precious possession. For many years, I didn’t have access to them, until a few years ago my mom was able to track them down. My grandparents were the best grandparents a child could have, and I love them so much. Seeing these photos makes me wonder what kind of life they were dreaming of back then…

Sahlin Studio and Britt-ish Designs have put together an awesome Project Mouse: Around the World collection – 11 countries are represented! You can also purchase the countries individually if you want.

I had so much fun making this page! I used some of the brushes in the kit as masks for the papers, and used them to embellish the background.
