I don’t have much to share today, just one page, but I’ve been busy this week! I am leaving Sunday on a business trip so I’ve been trying to get as much scrapping as I can before that – BYOC is next week, and then there’s NSD weekend, so there’s so much to scrap with! Here’s the kit I used out of today’s beautiful new releases at The Lilypad (20% off throughout the weekend):

The colors and the doodled elements in this kit are just gorgeous, and I love how this page turned out!

I am happy to say that the leaves in our front yard have mostly been blown away by the wind, and this saves us from a lot of work. Unfortunately our backyard is fenced in so we do have to pick up the leaves there, but they haven’t all fallen yet. I will try to take pictures before and after our yard work so I can use the pretty rake and leaves bag elements in this kit!

I scrapped with this gorgeous mini kit by Emily Merritt this week:

and a template by Amy Martin:

They are both on sale 50% off today! Here is my page:

I really love this season. The colors are just breathtaking!

I have something very, very special to share today. The designers at The Lilypad have put together an amazing collaboration kit for a very sweet girl, Melissa, who is on the CT at The Lilypad and is fighting hard against ovarian cancer. I did not know Melissa prior to joining the CT, but by checking out her blog I soon found out what a special person she is. And this kit is in honor of Melissa; all proceeds from the sale will go to her and her family as they keep fighting this battle.

The kit is gorgeous, truly gorgeous, and it is special in so many ways. So if you buy just one kit this week – heck, if you buy just one kit this month! – let this be it.

I can see myself scrapping many, many page with this kit – it’s so big and versatile! Here are two pages I’ve made so far:

Incidentally, these are the first photos I edited with RadLab and scrapped – love them!

I have more great news, and another page to share. It’s time for the quarterly 30% off sale at The Lilypad, so make sure you take advantage of it this weekend!

I used this gorgeous new kit by Jenna Desai and Micheline Martin:

to scrap this page:

Sigh. I’ve scrapped that photo before, but lately DH has been particularly reluctant in taking pictures. I will force him to take a few this weekend, so I can swap the new photo in this page. 🙂

This week the 50% SOSN sale at The Lilypad is especially tempting! There are lots of products too good to pass! Here are a few I have used:

and here are the pages I did:

I’m trying really hard to finish scrapping all the pictures from my mom’s visit in spring before she comes to visit again next month, otherwise I know they’ll never get scrapped! I have been making slow and constant progress, but this is going to be a huuuge album! I’m at about 45 pages scrapped, and I will have to do at least 10 more. Help! 🙂

What better kit for a blog hop that the awesome Hopping Halloween by the designers from The Lilypad and Oscraps? 😉 The collab is on sale this weekend, so make sure to grab it now!

My favorite Halloween picture is one from kindergarten. I was dressed up as a witch, and my mom had made me a lovely lil’ broom. So I scrapped this page with it:

and I turned this into a quick page for you all to have! I hope you like it! Make sure to leave me a comment if you download. 🙂 ETA Nov. 5 – thanks for your interest, the freebie has expired.

Now, it’s time to head over to the next spooky fabulous stop of the blog hop, Diane’s blog. If you get lost, head back to the blog at Oscraps and keep in mind the blog is scheduled to go live on Saturday, so be patient if not all the links are there. And have fun! 🙂

Stop by the forum at The Lilypad for fun games and prizes!

It’s my favorite day of the working week: SOSN day, with beautiful old and new products 50% off! Simply irresistible! Here are a few of the goodies on sale today at The Lilypad:

And here is my page:

Autumn is such a beautiful season. We’ve had gorgeous weather for the past week, although it looks like it will soon turn for the worse.

It’s BYOC time already!

I have had a very busy week, and more craziness to come in the next week, but I was able to scrap a bit during the first days of the week. I made this page with some of the BYOC goodies and I love how it turned out!

And as if all the gorgeous BYOC products weren’t enough, the designers have some more new products out today for Special Saturday! I grabbed these by CD Muckosky and one of the October guest designers, Micheline Martin:

And this is my last 2012 calendar page! I’ve ordered the calendars and I hope to get them well before Christmas!

I looove that sticky tape!

Lately I have been super busy and drained out with work, so I haven’t been scrapping much at all, but I’ve been concentrating the little scrapping I’ve done almost exclusively on getting my 2012 calendar done. For the latest couple of pages from the weekend, I’ve used designs by Allison Pennington, who recently joined The Lilypad and is having a grand opening sale:

Allison’s creations are really unique, and she also has some gorgeous doodled alphas (with brush file) that are a must-have! Here’s my June page; I made it for the October Formula Challenge.

And check out the doodled tree on this page!!

Last night I went on a roll and finished the last two pages I still had to do. Here’s one of them; I will share the other one later this week:

This kit it so gorgeous! The color combination is unique and so much fun, and Lili’s alpha goes so well with it!

I only need to finish the cover now, and then I can place my order! Yay!
