Happy New Year

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.

Weekly Sale & New Website at The Lilypad

Hello! It’s Wednesday and it’s time for the weekly 50% off sale off select products at The Lilypad. Also, did you check out their new website?? It’s really cool with lots of new features and easy to navigate!

I made two pages with the products on sale.

On this page I made a reflection on where we are at as a couple and what my hope is for the year to come. I love how it turned out!

Celebrate 2015

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!

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.

Black Friday

Hello and happy Black Friday! (4 weeks to Christmas… eeeek!!) The sale at The Lilypad is epic!

And the new Memory Pockets Monthly collection (Magic) is in the store. I’m in love!!

Here’s what I made.

M3: November

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!
