(By tkradtke) Do you love a road trip? Or do you love the feeling of boarding a plane? I don't mind a long-haul plane trip (and, in New Zealand, to get to anywhere really exciting that means 12 hours plus!) but short plane trips I dread now. So much hassle at either end that it's often much easier and more fun to drive. Anyway, whether it's a road trip or a plane trip you are scrapping, I have a travel themed kit in store today: AND a new template pack: #travelscrapbookin

I am excited to bring a new set of Worn Photo Edges to the store at The Lilypad. These fun PSD and TIFF templates come with built in "soft pop" photo effects to brighten a dull photo (or instantly turn a black and white photo sepia) And, if your photo is already perfectly exposed and popping, and you don't want to tweak it, the effects are entirely optional and you have a set of versatile worn photo edges and tri-photo frame. They really are as easy as "drag, drop and clip" -

If you love scrapping multi-photo pages, or have an event or a big pile of travel photos to scrapbook, today's new templates can help you create a photobook in a snap. Even better, they co-ordinate with the "Perfect Panorama" templates already in the store, and there is a bundle option that allows you to grab both at a bargain price (especially this weekend when the 20% new product discount applies!). Don't grab this if you already have the Panorama set though :-) Plus, there

Yes, 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

Hi Everyone! Sorry to be late with my post about the CT Layouts for the FEBRUARY BYOC kits. 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

Do you know what I love most about scrapbooking? That you can take a fairly ordinary photo, one that you might flip past in a traditional album and maybe say 'that's sweet' but not really look closely at, and really focus on it and what it says. It helps that it's also FUN of course! For those two layouts I used the kit which is new to The Lilypad and half price today (Wednesday): Here's a couple of layouts from the Pollys at the Pad: (by Sucali) (By Wombat146) What's als

As 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

What's the point of scrapbooking? I was asked that recently at "Get it Scrapped", and I realised the answer was that it helps me put life into context - it stops the feeling that life is just rushing away from you. I can go back and relive all these moments, and The Daughters have a wonderful record of their childhood. For summer 2014 I created a template album that I used to scrap most of our photos: It was the summer of the cicadas - one of those years when a huge bro

I am sure that, strictly speaking, there is some numerical limit to the number of memories anyone has - although obviously they are added to every second so that number would constantly change. But it feels like they are countless, especially as, when you are looking through or scrapping with old photos, more memories are brought out of backroom storage and to the fore. This feeling of rediscovering old memories (and 'pinning them down') is just one of the reasons I love

It 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

{Psst ... scroll down to see this week's free with purchase mini-kit} I am a passionate convert to the joys of simplicity, of keeping nothing that isn't beautiful or useful (ideally both!) and making room in your life for the really precious things. I am not quite (and never will be) at the stage of owning nothing but a laptop and a yoga mat (I need at least some books as well as shelves of photobooks). But keeping it simple is a big part of our philosophy now. The fres

It's starting to feel like the seasons are turning here in New Zealand and we are so ready for the end of winter. We have got a lot to look forward to for the rest of the year, from travel to graduations ... and hopefully it's all going to be good! And appropriately, that is the theme of this week's kit new in store at The Lilypad: If you are looking for school themed elements but don't need the papers, the elements are available as a separate pack as well. I love design
