Sahlin Studio has a new collab with One Little Bird out today. It is gorgeous!
And for the next week, when you purchase the kit you get a pack of clusters for free!
I whipped up a quick mini album, and I had so much fun putting it together!
I used one of the pre-made clusters, and made more of my own. Here’s a closer look to the individual pages:
Have a good Friday! I have a ton of things scheduled, but I hope to make it safely to the weekend! I certainly need some time off!
It’s time for Something Old, Something New at The Lilypad (50% off products!). I picked up these two products and I loved using them!
This is such a fun kit! I love these colors! And check out these fun dates:
Here’s my page:
The funny thing is, after finishing this page, I realized I had made a similar one in 2009:
{originally blogged here}
How funny that many of the things I journaled about are the same. 😉 Clearly, I am not very imaginative.
I also forgot to show another page I made last week with the February BYOC:
This BYOC’s colors make me so happy! I plan to use it in this week’s Project Life spread. 🙂
I just love it when some products inspire me to scrap a story I hadn’t planned to scrap. It was the case with this page. CD Muckosky’s element pack has a gorgeous word art piece that says “our story”… so I was inspired to scrap the story about how DH and I met. I never thought to scrap about it before, since DH and I know what went on and it’s nothing new, but it is great to have this story in my album. When I started writing about it, I almost used up all the space on the page, and I’d have more to say too! 🙂 (sorry for the blurred text, but there are some personal details I didn’t want to share)
This is what scrapbooking is all about, for me – telling our story.
The photo of us was taken a few months after we met – I was definitely not into picture-taking back then, so I am very glad we took this photo, poor as it is! We were so young! 🙂 I scanned it a couple years ago to make a 10 years mini album but the quality was absolutely awful. I used RadLab to edit it, and it turned out quite decent, I think.
I want to share two pages I made for the February challenges at The Lilypad. Both use the gorgeous Hoppy Birthday collab that is free when you “like” The Lilypad on Facebook. The first page is for the Product Challenge (use at least 5 hearts on your page) – I scrapped DH’s birthday.
Then I made a page for the One Word challenge (love is the word), and I just love how this turned out!!
ETA 2/6: I got a gallery standout at MeSoScrappy today for this page! 🙂
I played with more of the February BYOC today.. and I am confirming that this is my favorite BYOC yet!! Everything is so gorgeous! I made a card today:
I’m also working on my Project Life week 5 (week 4 is finished, but not photographed yet – I’ll do that tomorrow). No digi this week, just paper supplies.
I am so excited to share the February BYOC with you!! The designers at The Lilypad are always phenomenal, but something about this month’s BYOC makes me swoon. I love this color combination and these products so much!! I have squeezed in all the scrap time I had this week, but there’s lots more I want to do with this BYOC – I seriously want it all!
But let me show you a few things I have done so far. First off, I used the gorgeous new products by Sahlin Studio to make a card:
She also has some gorgeous coordinating washi tape, that I used in the following page, along with so many BYOC goodies that I cannot possibly show them all!
And here’s another page I made, possibly my favorite so far with the BYOC goodies:
So… have I convinced you that this BYOC is a must have? 😉
Before I leave, I do have to share one more thing! Heather Hess has made three amazing typewriter fonts for this BYOC – and they are so cool! Here you can see them in action and swoon at Heather’s cool vintage typewriter!
I have yet to post a couple of pages I did for the February challenges, but I’ve already put enough images for today. 🙂 So watch for those during the weekend. I also need to print out a couple more photos to finish up Week 4 of my Project Life album (that’s last week!) – but this awesome BYOC took most of my spare time this week, so I’m a bit behind. It was worth it, though, don’t you think? 😉
I am excited to share with you a very special initiative today. It’s a collab kit in honor of a fellow digi-scrapper, Erica, and of her sweet 7-year old daughter Grace who sadly passed away this past December.
The kit is absolutely gorgeous, and I could not refrain from making more than one page with it, even though I was very pressed for time this week. It is that good!! Check out that incredible lineup of designers! Here’s what I scrapped:
And I turned both of these pages into quick pages that are included in a beautiful set that is free when you buy the kit.
The Lilypad is turning 5, and there’s a whole weekend of fun planned to celebrate this birthday!
There are many games and challenges going on in the forum, with lots of chances to win prizes! I am hosting two challenges. The first one is the Kiss the Frog challenge, which is lots of fun and my personal favorite (I won a Kiss the Frog contest a few months back, became a Guest Polly… and the rest is history! ;)):
And then I’m also hosting the Polly Match Game, which is really fun too:
There are 12 baby pictures and you have to match them to the correct Pollys. I had DH try it last night and he only got 3 out of 12… (one was me)!!! 😀 But I’m sure you’ll do much better than that! 🙂
I also made a page for another challenge in which we have to scrap about what happened on our birth date (day or year). I scrapped about the date:
ETA: Woot!! I got a GSO today for this page!!
Do check out the birthday forum for more fun games, including Make a Wish giveaways! And there are chats and speed scraps too! But that’s not all! There’s a FREE kit for you too!
Just like TLP on Facebook and you’ll be able to download this gorgeous collab! I hope to see you around this weekend at TLP!
Yikes, I am so late posting this! I am running a bit behind this week, getting ready for the birthday celebrations at The Lilypad! 😉
I haven’t even had a chance to work on my Project Life yet, yikes! But for today I want to show two products that are 50% off – such a great deal!
Here’s my page (only 2 pages left for my mom’s spring visit album!!!):
Happy Friday! I do have a lot of pretty stuff to share today from the new releases at The Lilypad! 🙂 I worked from home this whole week, and allowed myself plenty of crafty time in the evenings, which was super nice! 🙂
First off, a gorgeous new kit by Sahlin Studio:
These colors are beautiful! As soon as I saw these papers, I knew they’d be perfect for my Project Life! (check back later for a sneak peek at how I used them in my Week 2! 😉 ) I also used them for a card:
They are all digital shadows except for the flower, which is cut out and glued on. I also used the kit to scrap two more pages about my mom’s visit last spring (only 3 pages to go to finish the album!!):
I used a multi-photo template by Amy Martin, also new today, to scrap this page. I had way too many photos to fit and the template really helped me maintain my sanity! 🙂
I also could not resist this fun, bright, adorable kit:
In the past few days, as Valentine stuff started popping up on Pinterest, I was thinking how I am not in the mood for anything Valentine yet. But then I saw this kit… and I knew I had to use it right then and there! 🙂
For one week, the kit comes with a free with purchase add on of valentines (the piano one I used is an example) and they are just adorable! This one I chose was just perfect for DH, since his great love is music. I do plan to print it out and give it to him too!
PS: I made a new blog header last night. What do you think?
