Hello! Tomorrow is Digital Scrapbooking Day (and it’s also Cardmaking Day!), and the party starts early at The Lilypad! There are lots of fun games and prizes in the forum, and the October BYOC was released today (and everything in the store is 30% off through the weekend!!). Here’s what I made with it:

September ’17 Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

| cristina

Hello! I’ve been quiet lately as life has been throwing us a few curve balls (blah), plus I started boxing up my craft supplies and prepping for our move, so I’ve been quite busy. But then one night I sat down to play with the new Mixed Media Monthly collection from The Lilypad, and boy did I have fun!! Here’s what I made.

These kits are so much fun to use. I always end up making something totally unexpected, and I love it!

It’s hard to pick a favorite among these three pages, but I think it’s this last one.

Phew… finally it came through and it’s official: we got a new home!!! So I used the latest BYOC (Build Your Old Collection) from The Lilypad, which is released today and is 20% off the weekend, to scrap a couple of pictures!

I love this place! Now we need to start planning the move (ugh), but I cannot wait to be settled in! And I get to have a huge craft room – yay!! 😀

Memory Pockets Monthly: Narrative

| cristina

Hi there! I have been quiet lately, for a number of reasons, including this one: we’re buying a new house! We found a place we absolutely love, but the whole process has been incredibly stressful and we’ll be so glad once the closing is done! I made a page to document the ordeal and timeline of this wait using the newest Memory Pockets Monthly collection from The Lilypad.

Memory Pockets Monthly: NARRATIVE from The Lilypad

I was inspired by the wood speech bubble outline so I build the design of my page repeating it on the page and adding different patterns and journaling cards.

A new month is here and this means it’s time for the newest BYOC collection at The Lilypad!

I took this photo a few months ago and held on to it because I loved it so much, but when I saw these products designed by Lynne-Marie I knew it was time to scrap it!

Goodbye July

I am saying goodbye to July with a few pages using the July BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) from The Lilypad – the August BYOC is released this Friday! I had so much fun using it to document the trip I made in June with my parents!

I also really enjoyed using some older templates by Valorie Wibbens for these pages – they make it so easy to build a page!

Look Ahead – Memory Pockets Monthly: Observations

| cristina

Hello and happy Friday! This week has been an emotional roller coaster, waiting for important news, and waiting, and waiting… hopefully things will settle down some today. So I was certainly in the mood for some scrap therapy with the latest Memory Pockets Monthly collection, released today at The Lilypad.

I absolutely love these colors – gray, yellow and pink. And those floral patterns from some of the 3″x4″ cards included in the kit are so pretty!

I had fun on this page combining brushes to build my background.

This next page doesn’t use the M3, but uses another new kit released today:
