April Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

It’s time for the newest Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad – and it’s a really good one! I made 4 pages all in one sitting, because there were just so many good papers in the kit that I wanted to use!

Supplies:

The first page had to be about the crazy weather we are having this year.

Next, I made a motivational page inspired by the background paper with the words “time to begin again”.

What I love with the M3 collection is that you can add as little or as much as you want, and you can’t go wrong! Here I added very little – one piece of word art, a photo, and my journaling. That background paper is just so pretty!

And to finish, one more page about this crazy, crazy weather.

Have a lovely weekend!

This is what the watercolor background looked like before I added all the collage pieces:

I find this process so very freeing! I don’t have to make sure each piece is a masterpiece – I just enjoy the creative process, and then move on to the next page. I love being able to print out my digital supplies for this, because I can reprint them and there’s no need to hoard the supplies!

Hello March!

| cristina

Hello and happy March! I’ve been super busy with work lately, but I have also been having great fun with the newest releases from The Lilypad. This week the March BYOC (Build Your Own Collection) was released.

Supplies:
Lucky Me Papers, Lucky Me Elements and Lucky Me Layered Artsy Transfers by Dawn Inskip

I had fun making this page with two photos taken 11 years apart!

I love the pretty colors on this page! Alas, we got a foot of snow since this photo was taken, but I cannot complain – I love snow. 🙂 I think it’s going to melt pretty soon.

Supplies:
Pen and Watercolor Sketches, Expressions No. 1 and Expressions No. 2 by Rebecca McMeen
Lovely Day Painted Letters by Allison Pennington

These products by Rebecca McMeen are absolutely gorgeous – look at that floral composition! I didn’t add much to the page because it was perfect as is!

This last page was made using older product, and for the Digital Art Journaling for Scaredy Cats class by Tangie Baxter. It was very therapeutic!

Supplies: Mixed Media Monthly June ’16 from The Lilypad

And here’s one more page I made in the class – combining a bunch of products (10 different ones, picked at random). I chose to use Mixed Media Monthly collections because I love them, but I find that I rarely go back to use a kit after the month is over, so this was a great way to rediscover them!
