lynn grievesonAug 4, 20171 minBirdseed for BYOCYes, it's 'Build Your Own Collection' time at The Lilypad again, and the designers have had the most gorgeous palette to work with. I used it to scrap Daughter-Two as a happy blur at gym class: I have three products in store - but scroll down to see a special offer on a bundle of the papers and elements. And a template set too: Here's how I used the templates: And here's how I used the papers and elements: (The painted bird transfer used here was available as part of a spec

dvhoward (Diane)Mar 5, 20172 minFind Peace with a Variety of StylesHello! This week-end Lynn has three GREAT kits on sale at The Lilypad; it is BYOC time again. Lynn's CT has created a wonderful assortment of pages from the Find Peace Elements, Find Peace Papers, and Find Peace Templates. "Biltmore" by djp332 uses the papers and elements from Lynn. This layout has the feel of a lovely travel guide. "Today was Perfect" is another page that takes us to far away places. Janedee used the papers, elements and a template from FIND PEACE. In th

I was away during the sale, but I hope everyone had a chance to catch the sale during the week-end. This post may give you some inspiration for using the new kits you bought this last week-end or prompt you to get them now. Here are the layouts Lynn's CT made with Lynn's Love Is All Around Papers and Love Is All Around Elements. You can click on each layout to see the full credits in
lynn grievesonFeb 3, 20171 minLove is All AroundThe bright, happy colours of this month's Build Your Own Collection (BYOC) palette were just what I needed (even though I couldn't resist adding in lots of muted, neutral options too!) I have a paper pack and an element pack, both at special introductory prices (and eligible for the "buy more, save more" promotion if you buy other designers' BYOC products as well). ~ Lynn Save #BYOC
lynn grievesonNov 4, 20161 minLight me HomeCan you believe it is BYOC (Build your own collection) time again? Every month the Lilypad designers create co-ordinating kits - and every month it seems to come around quicker and quicker! This month's element pack is packed with elements, brushes and transfers: It includes these: And these: And the paperpack is a mega set of 30 papers: Here's some inspiration from the Pollys: ~ Lynn #BYOC #LightmeHome #TheLilypad
Diane aka dvhowardOct 9, 20162 minBee Curious About Background PapersAs I was looking over the BYOC (Build Your Own Collection) layouts from Lynn's Creative Team, I became focused on the background papers used. Lynn has a beautiful set of papers available in her Bee Curious Papers kit. This kit, as well as the Elements and Transfers, are ON SALE this week-end for at least 20% off. There is an opportunity to save even more with The Lilypad's Buy More Save More option. Let's take a look at how Lynn's CT used the papers to make amazing layouts

Diane aka dvhowardSep 4, 20162 minSimply Wonderful CT LayoutsIt is one of my favorite times at The Lilypad -- BYOC (Build Your Own Collection). This month the color palette is so sweet and delightful. Lynn has 3 kits available for the collection; Simply This Elements, Simply This Papers and Simply This Templates. Lynn's Creative Team put together a great collection of layouts to showcase her designs. Some used all three kits while others used only 2. Let's take a look at a few: First is a layout by Judy, chigirl, titled "Simple Jo

Lynn has 3 WONDERFUL kits in the sale: Marina Del Rey Elements, Marina Del Rey Papers and Marina Del Rey Templates. I thought it would be fun to see how Lynn's CT played with the Marina Del Rey Templates (and the rest of the Marina Del Rey kits, of course). The beauty of templates is the structure they give you as you manipulate the look of the page with the cho
lynn grievesonAug 5, 20161 minMad Men meet tropical kitschOne of my favourite mid-century design trends is the fabulously kitsch 'Tiki Modern' tropical imagery that was especially popular in Southern California in the 1960s. Coinciding with both the Vietnam war and the release of copyright on exotic floral and fauna imagery that had become popular in Victorian times, it was seen everywhere in the booming suburbs of LA and the casinos of Vegas. As soon as I saw the gorgeous pastel colors in this month's palette for BYOC ('Build you

I ended up with a mega collection of messy papers, elements and transfers that would work for scrapping lazy summer days at home, neighborhood friends and cycle rides, husbands and handymen and even building projects.

Diane (dvhoward)Jun 4, 20162 minCreating magic with Blue Skies AheadHi all! Lynn has three wonderful kits available at The Lilypad as her contribution to the BYOC this month and her CT has been busy making magic with them on a great variety of layouts. The beauty of her Blue Skies Ahead elements, Blue Skies Ahead papers, and Blue Skies Ahead Transfers is that they work well if you are a single kit scrapper or if you like to mix and match with other kits and/or designers. Lynn's Blue Skies Ahead Transfers are also PERFECT for her June Blog C
lynn grievesonJun 3, 20161 minBlue Skies AheadI hope it's 'blue skies ahead' where you are. And if not, like me you could always escape by scrapping some older photos and reliving happy times. It's the cheapest therapy around, and you get a layout at the end of it. The Husband's happy place is definitely the beach so I have lots of photos through the years of him and Daughter-Two there: Meanwhile, Daughter-Two is now loving her independence, reluctantly letting me take a photo before heading out the door for another a

Here is what Lynn and the team came up with, I hope you enjoy as I did when rounding the pages up. I am always amazed what a difference individual interpretation can do with the given set of tools, even if those tools are identical to start with. So without further ado, dive right in with me. I would like to start with Buck
