I’m just stopping by with a quick post with a page using the 50% off specials at The Lilypad for Something Old, Something New.
Also, there is a retirement sale going on and hundreds of products are 50% off!
Don’t miss it!

Oh my goodness, I haven’t posted on my blog in almost a month! This goes to show how busy I’ve been lately… π To top it off, I was in the office until midnight last night. Yes, midnight!! π But I still managed to squeeze in a little time earlier in the week to play with Sahlin Studio’s latest collab, Fresh:
Isn’t it just gorgeous?? I lately got a new desk for my crafts, and I tried it out for the first time working on this card. I also used my Silhouette, since with the new arrangement it is much easier to turn it on and connect it to my computer. So expect to see plenty of cut out goodness in the future! π
So while the design and cutting of this card went very fast, what took me the longest was actually putting the card together: there’s lots of layering so at some point I felt like I needed an extra hand. π
Have a great weekend!
I did manage to catch up quite a bit this weekend, although not completely, and I have two more weeks to share. π
Very little digi on this week, and plenty of stamping.
I mapped out on Google Maps an itinerary for a trip we planned but I overlapped a screenshot for sharing because I don’t want to divulge where I live.
Yum, DH made pretzels this week, and they were so good! π
I went green on green for the title. π
Lots of fun stamping! π
Let’s move on to Week 18. I really love how this one came together! Once again, I have almost no digi parts.
Here’s a closer look to this week.
The color scheme for this week is orange and navy. I found an old ink pad that I bought almost 5 years ago, well before I started any hybrid- even before I started digi scrapbooking in fact. It’s orange, and it stamps so well!! It’s a pigment ink, and now I am convinced I must buy more pigment inks. It stamps so easily, and the images are so clear. I am so excited! π
Very simple to put together, I just had plenty of fun stamping.
I am so proud of how I made the eight out of a B! π Just a few more closeups, because I love these stamps so much. π
And these…
And these! π
I have the first half of Week 19 done, but alas I had to stop. I’m currently 1.5 weeks behind, but it will get worse in the next few weeks, as I won’t have time to catch up. π
Supplies:
Week 17
My mom is coming to visit in exactly a week, so I made a card for her using the gorgeous new releases by Sahlin Studio, and following the instructions for the Mother’s Day card on Club CK.
It was so much fun!! Here’s what it looks once it’s opened up:
And here are a few detailed shots.
I will be adding text on this left side.
I had lots of fun spraying this brown envelope! π
I made the banner out of washi tape.
The pictures are ones we took when my mom came to visit last spring.
I know she will love this! π

Wow… almost 2 weeks since my last blog post! I have been really busy lately, and it’s not over… But I do want to share some of my Project Life. I am 3 weeks behind – I seem to be constantly 3 weeks behind. Let’s see if I can catch up some during the weekend. Here is Week 15 – I love how it turned out!!
I used the April BYOC from The Lilypad for this spread. I love the colors!
I also put my Silhouette to good use this week to cut out a few words.
This week we went car shopping, so that was the theme of the week.
I used my new stamps from Ali Edwards, in addition to the Studio Calico ones. I painted the alphabet letters with orange acrylic paint, and spray misted the wood veneer car.
I am loving these screenshots of my and DH’s votes for Dancing with the Stars each week!
I cut out words for all the car manufacturers we visited this week. I love the doily stamp by Amy Tangerine!
Here I stamped and wrote on the digital labels by Valorie Wibbens. Cute!
I am in love with the wood veneer stars!
I tried stamping on the blue masking tape – it worked! The orange stamps here were stamped with acrylic paint.
This is one of my favorite weeks ever! Now let’s move on to Week 16.
I kept it simple this week, with little digi, mostly is paper and stamps. I love the look!
I had tons of pictures this week, since we bought our new car and I had to document that, but I didn’t want to have to add inserts. I think it worked out well! The entire left page is just about one day. π
I spray misted the wood veneer car with a silver coat, so it looks like our car. π
We recently got in the mail one of those ads – “you won a car!” – and as soon as I saw it I knew I’d be using that key in my PL album! π The timing was just perfect! π
Here is the list of supplies.
Week 15:
Smash date stamp K&C company
Week 16:
I have SO many goodies to share for iNSD, and I’m going to put them all in one post – so be prepared, because it’s going to be a long one!
Let’s start with what’s going on at The Lilypad. The May BYOC is in the store, everything is 30% off, there’s a free with $15 purchase collab, and fun and games and chats.
Make sure you check out the forum to keep up with all that is going on! This week I finished up the last 2 pages that were missing to complete the album about my mom’s visit last year, and I placed the order for a 60-page photobook. It should get here just in time for her next visit, I’m really excited! I used the May BYOC to scrap the cover and 1 page:
I love those painty backgrounds by Kitty Designs! And the stamped alphas by Michelle Godin are awesome too!
I also made a page about a few of the things that happened this week.
Then I made two quick cards using BYOC goodies by Sahlin Studio and Jenn Barrette:
I am in love with that paper! Look out for it to make an appearance soon in my Project Life album. π
To make the other missing page in my mom’s album, I used the new release by creashens, which is 35% off:
Here’s my page:
It wouldn’t be iNSD without freebies, right?? Ju Kneipp has a gorgeous one on her Facebook page!
I love the page I made with it, and it came together in no time!
OK… almost done! π Mari Koegelenberg has 2 new releases out today, and they are both gorgeous!! The first is a kit packed with essential supplies:
I love how my page turned out!
And the second kit is so bright and cheerful!
I used the stamped alpha from the essential kit on my page too.
Phew! Well, I think that’s all I have for now! π Have a fabulous iNSD weekend! π
Have you seen the May featured kit by Sahlin Studio?
The kit and the word art pack are 30% off for the whole month, and if you head over to Krista’s blog, you can enter your page to win a gift certificate to her store! I love the colors and designs of this kit! I used it to make this mini album cover:
Let’s move on to Week 14! π
The main ingredients this week are digi papers, stamps, wood veneer, cutouts, and paint. I framed all the photos with the new frames by Designs by Lili – they are so cool!
I love how this week turned out! Here’s a few details.
I stamped this doily stamp with acrylic paint and distress ink.
More stamping with acrylic paint.
Here I painted on the kraft colored alpha stickers – I love how they turned out! The calendar is a Facebook freebie by Mari Koegelenberg – I love it!
Love the painted wood veneer!
I did a mix of stamping here for the title – so pretty!
Here I painted the cutout from my Silhouette. Originally, I tried using this as a mask to paint the letters, but it got messy and it didn’t work out.
Supplies for Week 13:
It’s time for the quarterly sale at The Lilypad!
The new releases out today are absolutely gorgeous, and they are all 30% off too! I have had a crazy week, so I was only able to do one quick thing. I used the new products by Sahlin Studio – I am totally in love with them!
These vintage cards are so much fun!!
I made a card for my Project Life:
Since I’ve been tracking my weight weekly in my PL album since January, this card was just perfect!! π I also used some new stamps I just bought this week (for “LOG”) – cute!
Hoping to get caught up a bit on my PL album this weekend.. but since I have work to do (sigh…), I’m not sure how much progress I’ll make. π
In the middle of a swamped week, let me stop by to share another page I made over the weekend with the April BYOC. Have I told you how much I love this month’s BYOC’s colors? π
