So much to be thankful for this year, and this season especially..
I hope you are all having a lovely time too!
I couldn’t be happier that Mari Koegelenberg is guesting at The Lilypad this month. 🙂 She released two new products yesterday, and they’re both very versatile!
Here they are, paired with some goodies from the Nov. BYOC.
I have become addicted to instagram, and I love documenting my favorite things of this season through these little shots. 🙂 I only wish I had a better camera phone, since these pictures are less than 2.5 inches, way smaller than I’d like to use on a 12×12 page, and for my Project Life album.. It doesn’t stop me from using them anyway, though! 🙂
It’s DSD at The Lilypad, the November BYOC is in the store, and two of my designers are guest designing there, so I have been busy this week! 😉 First off, here’s what I did with Mari Koegelenberg’s bits,
mixed in with a couple of other BYOC products.
I made this page for one of the DSD challenges in the forum – check them out (this is challenge #2)! Next up is a card I made with Sahlin Studio goodies and some gorgeous word art by Paislee Press.
I love the bright colors in Jenn Barrette’s contribution to the BYOC!
OK… finally the weekend is here! I most definitely need some time off and some crafty time. 🙂 Happy DSD everyone!
I am SO excited to share the news that Paislee Press has moved shop to The Lilypad! I love her style and I am just thrilled to have her here! Here’s her latest, brand new kit:
It has a bit more color than her usual style, and it was perfect for me, since I love color! 🙂 Here’s what I made with it:
I am SO happy it’s finally Friday 🙂 and I can’t wait for the week to be over! 😉 Stay tuned, because I have some good news (and some pages!) to share soon! 🙂
Sahlin Studio has an adorable new kit in the store today (20% off through the weekend) – and it has an adorable little deer in it!
Seriously, could it be any cuter? I used it to make an inspirational card:
I made this page using many of the 50% off products in the Something Old, Something New sale at The Lilypad.
I definitely needed a confidence boost, and this page was good therapy. 🙂
I am having a busy week with no scrapping time, but I did want to stop by to point out that the weekly Something Old, Something New sale is going on at The Lilypad, and a lot of great products are for sale at 50% off! I used a few to make this page.
Yes, you guessed it, this was also turned into a calendar page (for April). 🙂 Yeah, an October picture for April. 😉 In the past years I always made sure each month had a picture of us taken in that same month, but this year I simply didn’t have enough pictures to work with. Plus it’s not worth it to stress out for such details. I know my family will love the calendar, no matter what. 🙂
Five years I made a wall calendar for our parents and my grandmother for Christmas. They loved it so much, that I’ve been making one each year, ever since. This time of the year, I’m always busy finishing up the calendar, and concinving DH that we need to take a few more pictures (that’s what happens when you have a husband who refuses to take pictures regularly throughout the year.. sigh…). I usually manage to recycle some of my favorite LOs of the year into calendar toppers (just remove journaling and title, and add month), but I always have to make a few new pages too. Which is why you’ve been seeing so many LOs of DH and me lately. 🙂 Anyway, I am now DONE with the calendars; the order is placed. Phew!
If you’re pressed for time, you should check out these great quick pages:
I made a few of the ones in there. 🙂 Like this one, for example:
This year, I went with a different look for the cover! I was inspired by all the painty goodies in the October BYOC. Totally not my usual style, but I love how it turned out!
And here is my absolute favorite lately:
Love the picture, love the colors! i turned it into our May page.
I am so excited to share my page with the October BYOC at The Lilypad!! I have had a crazy week and only had time to make one page so far.. but I love it so much! It’s incredible how much inspiration I get each month scrapping with the BYOC. My BYOC pages always end up being my favorites! I love mixing and matching all the different products, since they all go together so well. Here’s a few of the things I used:
Stunning, right?? 😉 And here’s my page:
Have a great weekend!
One Little Bird Designs is having a 25% off sale to celebrate the opening of her store at The Lilypad. Check it out!!
I am so happy that she moved, and got the chance to scrap a few pages with her products.
The weather has definitely cooled down around here.. Hard to believe that Christmas is less than three months away!
These are all iPhone pictures.. I have become lazy – since it’s so hard to convince DH to pose for a shot, I go with the easiest way (no tripod required..). I will try to convince him to pose for proper shots soon though, before all the leaves fall. 🙂
Yes I know.. this is an awful lot of pictures of us that I’ve been scrapping lately!! 😀 The truth is, I’m preparing the calendars for 2013, so I need to scrap 12 toppers with photos of us. 🙂 More on this topic soon!
