Happy Wednesday!

Hello and happy Wednesday! Halfway through the week, and the weekend couldn’t come sooner! I have two projects to share with you today. The first one is a notecard set I made for the April Project Parade at The Lilypad.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the flowers and just laid them on top of kraft card bases. I love how they turned out!
Next, I made a page with some products that are 50% off today for the weekly Something Old, Something New sale!

I hope you have a great rest of the week!

April Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

I’m so excited for today’s Mixed Media Monthly (M3) release at The Lilypad!


Credits:

On the first page, I combined the M3 main kit with some of the fabulous add ons. This month’s theme is calm / passing the storm, and all the rain elements worked perfectly to document a very rainy but lovely day we had in New York City last week.

It’s hard to pick a favorite in the M3 collection, but it’s probably the paper backgrounds – there is so much variety and they are the best way to stat your page! This month, they even included a coloring page. I have never done coloring (or at least the adult coloring trend that is so popular right now), but as soon as I saw this page I knew I wanted to try it. It’s such a cool design! So I did, and used it for this 2-page layout:

Lollipop Guild scrapbook kit from Studio Calico (right page)

Here’s a closer look at the coloring page:

I printed it on heavy cardstock and then added my coloring – first with markers, and then with watercolors (my favorite). I decided not to fill the whole page because I loved the black&white look too. I love how it turned out! And it was the perfect complement for the right page, which is all made with physical scrapbook products.

I love that busy background and how it’s toned down by the colored page on the left.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great end of the week!

Happy April!

Happy Easter Weekend!

It’s no secret that I love bunnies… so I did not hesitate one second when I saw the latest kit by Allison Pennington at The Lilypad! Also… that floral paper is all kinds of awesome!

I’ve got my fingers crossed that some bunny will show up this year too. Bunnies are my favorite backyard critter by far, they’re just too cute!
The latest Memory Pockets Monthly collection was also released, and I loved using it to make this monthly recap page:

I made a monthly summary spread for February and loved it so much I decided to make another one this month.

Happy Easter weekend!

These colors are some of my favorites! This was such a fun way of documenting the month!
I also made a couple of pages using the gorgeous MPM add ons.

A journaling page to document how in many ways things have not been as rosy as they could have this month… but still we forge ahead, hoping in better days. I love the blues and yellows in this kit!

Mixed Media Monthly – February

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! Today is a very good day- not only is it Friday, but it’s time for the new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) release at The Lilypad. I loved the kit so much this month!!
I made three pages just with the kit.

Credits:

I used this adorable heart background to list all the things I am loving right now.

Credits:

Those clustered hearts are fantastic!

Credits:

I love the pink and all the painted bits!
I also made two pages using some of the M3 add ons.

Credits:

I used the M3 main kit in addition to some add ons here.

Ouch

Yes, ouch! After doing better than I was expecting the first few weeks after my surgery, last week I hit a down point and have been feeling sore ever since. 🙁
I have been trying to take it easy after that.. I hope to get on the mend soon! In the meantime, I resorted to some scrap therapy – that’s the best therapy there is, isn’t it? I used some products that are 50% right now at The Lilypad. Go check them out!
