M3: November

| cristina

Hi there! I have been pretty quiet here and on Instagram lately..  Just a little overwhelmed with things. A dear friend has suddenly fallen ill in the last month (cancer), and is on his last days. So very sad.. I cannot come to terms with how quick it all happened. In light of this all, I have been reflecting on my life, and I have lots to be thankful for. Especially this time of year it is good to stop and think about all the blessings in my life. {taking a deep breath}

I have still been creating these days (and something extra special coming this way Dec. 1st.. 😉 hint hint!), this is truly one of the blessings in my life, to be able to create and express myself through scrapbooking. Today I have some pages to share made with the November Mixed Media Monthly kit from The Lilypad. It’s hard to put in words how much I love this monthly collection… it is SO good!

The first page I made is about fall:

A lot of the papers/elements/brushes in the kit really speak Christmas to me. I will be putting them to good use in my December Daily album – in particular the designs from the latest addition to the store at The Lilypad: Nancie Rowe Janitz.

And TGIF (almost)!! Have a great weekend!

Memory Pockets Monthly: Home

There is something in this month’s Memory Pockets Monthly at The Lilypad that really spoke to me.. it may be my favorite collection yet!

I loved using it on its own on this page:

And I loved mixing it with the MPM add ons for the rest of my pages.

This one is probably my favorite page of quite some time! I only used papers and some paint… I am a patterned paper lover through and through!

MPM: Composition

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! It’s release day for the September MPM (Memory Pockets Monthly) at The Lilypad, and it makes me so happy! This month’s theme is composition, and the color palette is yummy.

Of course this kit and the add ons don’t have to be used in a pocket page.. in fact they work great for regular pages too!

I love how bright and fun this page is. Yellow + red + b/w.. love it!

I am in love with this floral pattern!

Also, I have another exciting sale to share – and you can thank me for this one! 🙂 These are my favorites from the entire store.

New This Week

| cristina

Well hello! Are you documenting your week in the life this week? I am, and I am also on a short business trip, so it will be an interesting week to record. And today’s highlight is the weekly sale on select products at the Lilypad. I made this page with this 50% off kit:

I just love that picture I snapped with my phone from the passenger seat. I already scrapped this photo in a paper page, but I scrapped it again because I thought it was perfect for this kit. 🙂
