At Sea Cards

| cristina

I’m late in posting this, but Sahlin Studio and Britt-ish Designs’ latest installment of the Project Mouse series is so much fun!

Perfect for cruises, sea/lake, and so much more! I made two hybrid cards with it.

Here they are one by one.

I was inspired to make a round card and used my newly acquired Big Shot to cut the circle.

I hope you had a great weekend! Alas, I have not had any crafty time this weekend.. too much work/study to do. Next weekend is National Scrapbooking Day so I am really hoping to get some scrapbooking time.. but it’s not looking good! Do you have plans for NSD?

Hello Friday!

| cristina

I am thrilled that it’s Friday! After a crazy weather swing from the 80s to the 30s, we are back in the 50s and I am enjoying it. I have lots of pages to share today! (Ok.. just 3 but it’s more than I usually have ;))

First off, I played with some of the new releases at The Lilypad (20% off all weekend long), and let me tell you.. I really had fun! Here’s what I used:

The first page is somewhat Easter themed – we made these cookies a few weeks back, but they are bunny shaped. 🙂

The second page I made with this kit describes the crazy weather we’ve had this week.

Switching gears, I also made a page with the new lovely kit by creashens. I love all the watercolor touches in this kit, and the colors are so pretty!

It’s Easter Weekend so make sure to stop by tomorrow for a pretty Easter card I made!

Playing with Paper

| cristina

After a couple of panicky work emergencies, I can finally take a breath and rejoice that the warmer weather has arrived! Granted, it is not yet here to stay for good, as we likely will be getting some snow later in the week, but I am choosing to ignore that for now. 🙂

I have been super busy with work, but today I carved out a couple hours for myself and got crafty. It was fun to play! I made a card using the lovely collection Sahlin Studio made for the April BYOC at The Lilypad.

I also grabbed the free April template on the Sahlin Studio blog and used it for my card. 🙂

In my opinion, enamel dots are just the right touch for any project. 🙂 The same is true for mini alphas.

April BYOC

| cristina

Well, hello and happy Friday! Today’s a good one, because it’s BYOC time at The Lilypad!!

I based my page on a navy/gray, yellow and orange color scheme. I love how it turned out!

Scrapping with the BYOC products is so much fun – it’s so easy to mix and match different pieces because they all go together!

I just love how it turned out! It also was scrap therapy for me, since I scrapped it at the low point of an awful week. I just love this hobby/creative outlet!

Retirement Sale… and a Walk Down Memory Lane

| cristina

I love a good sale, and there’s a great one going on at The Lilypad right now. Sadly, several products are being retired to make space for new ones.. and the good news is that there’s plenty of deals to be made!

Here’s this page I made to scrap this week’s events:

Yummy Colors

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! I’m happy to add some color to your day with this gorgeous new kit at The Lilypad:

I loved the colors in this kit so much – pink, yellow and aqua. And the elements are all so cool! I made a page about the cupcakes we baked last weekend. 🙂

Have a lovely day, and enjoy the weekend! I’ll be back on Monday to share a pretty paper project.

March BYOC

| cristina

Winter is most definitely still around in my neck of the woods, but I got my fix of spring colors with the March BYOC at The Lilypad!

I made a card using these gorgeous products by Sahlin Studio:

 

I added a couple of popped up flowers on top of that pretty journaling card to add some dimension to my card.

I also used the gorgeous products by Paislee Press

Happy Friday!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

| cristina

Happy Friday, and Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s also Froggy Friday – which means new releases 20% off at The Lilypad, and today there’s a special free with purchase offer and a sale on Valentine products!

I played with this fun new kit by Kaye Winiecki:

It was just perfect to scrap one of our favorite burger joints!

Are you celebrating Valentine’s Day? Our plans of having a lovely dinner at home have been put on hold because DH caught a stomach bug.. 🙁 At least there’s the Olympics for me to watch and cheer me up a bit. 🙂

February BYOC

| cristina

I know I say this every month.. but how can it be February already?? And this is a short month too, so March will be here before we know it. The one good thing of it being February already is that the new BYOC is in the store at The Lilypad!

I had so much fun playing with this one. For some reason, the February BYOCs are always my favorites. 🙂
