The Struggle Is Real

Hello and happy almost Friday! The new Mixed Media Monthly collection is in the store at The Lilypad, and it inspired me to tell a story about my health struggles I don’t normally document in my scrapbook pages – that’s one of the reasons I LOVE the Mixed Media Monthly products. But the main reason is that the products are absolutely gorgeous… check out that painted background!

Hello and happy June! I have a busy month ahead, with lots of travel, but I’m still scrapping my mom’s visit. The products in the new BYOC in the store at The Lilypad were perfect!

May Adventures

We had my mom visiting for 10 days in May. We had such a great time! She left on Tuesday, and I’m already looking forward to our next get-together. Of course I took lots of photos, and I started scrapping some with the newest releases at The Lilypad:

Wednesday Musings

Hello and happy hump day! I have been reminiscing lately – it’s been almost 2 years since I finished my MBA and I miss my classmates! So I uses some of the products that are 50% off in today’s sale at The Lilypad to scrap about some of those memories.

April Mixed Media Monthly at The Lilypad

Hello and happy Friday! I am so happy spring has made its arrival, although it’s amazing to realize nearly a third of the year has gone by already!
I am loving the monthly recap pages I have been putting together, and here is the one I made for April.

All the bright colors! 🙂 And here’s a look at each page.

I added a new Foxy Fix notebook to my collection last week – I need to blog about it! Here are my previous posts about these traveler’s notebooks.

And then I also made a page with the new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) collection. I love how the M3 inspires me to try new techniques. Here I blended 2 papers (the one for the background and the one with blue and white clouds and sketched trees), as well as a photo (on the bottom of the page). So fun!

Hello and happy Friday! I have had one of the busiest/most stressful weeks of my life (like top 3..!), yet I managed to scrap a couple of pages after my work deadline was passed, and I love how they turned out!
This first one is with the April BYOC from The Lilypad.

Memory Pockets Monthly: RENEW from The Lilypad

And as usual all the new releases are 20% off through the weekend.
I thought March hadn’t been too eventful, but as I was putting together this monthly summary spread I ended up with lots of photos to document it!

We never have plants around the house, but my husband got us a small potted clover for St. Patrick’s Day and I love having it! It’s so cute the way the leaves fold up at night and open up again during the day. Here’s to hoping we don’t kill it off too soon!

Have a great weekend!
