February 3, 2016July 17, 2017 | cristina

Hello hello! Today is the day for the weekly 50% sale on select products at The Lilypad, and since it’s February, there’s a lot of hearts and pink to be had – and I am not one to complain, that’s for sure!!

On Monday I was able to bribe my husband in taking some long-awaited photographs of the two of us, so of course I scrapped them right away.

I clearly put all the new photos to good use! 🙂 These pages will likely also get repurposed in my 2017 calendar (each year I make a photo calendar as Christmas gift for our parents, and using some pages as calendar toppers).

Memory Pockets Monthly: Adore from The Lilypad

I had to cut of my poor husband’s head in this photo because there was a lamp right behind him that looked like it was on his head – ugh! I hate when that happens, and of course I didn’t catch it at the time I took the photo.

Finally, I made a hybrid page using the MPM add ons by Sahlin Studio.

Not your typical snow colors… but I love how it turned out!

Have a wonderful end of the week!

2016 Resolutions

January 3, 2016July 23, 2017 | cristina

I don’t normally do new year resolutions (I hate letting myself down!), but this year I was inspired to jot a few things down when I started creating with the January Memory Pockets Monthly: CHAPTER collection from The Lilypad.

Do you make new year resolutions?

Happy New Year

January 1, 2016July 23, 2017 | cristina

Happy New Year! May 2016 be a year of health and joy for you and your loved ones!

To start the year off right, I scrapped with the January BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) from The Lilypad.

It’s just amazing – I am so not a purple lover, but whenever there is purple in the collections for The Lilypad, somehow I fall in love with it! It happened this time too.

It’s so fun to mix and match the different pieces of the BYOC!

The fresh colors and the inspiring theme are just what I needed to make these pages as motivation to start 2016 with a positive attitude.

Celebrate 2015

December 18, 2015July 24, 2017 | cristina

With less than 2 weeks left in the year, it’s a good time to look back and reflect on all the things that have passed this year. I made this year in review page using the new Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad, and I love how it turned out!

Credits:

Mixed Media Monthly – Dec. 2015 from The Lilypad

The template I used is in the collection too. It has 12 slots so you can choose a picture per month; I switched it up a bit and only included photos from some months (numbered) because I also wanted to include some of the pretty patterned papers from the kit.
