It's BYOC ("Build your own Collection") time again at The Lilypad, and I have been wearing out my mouse hand having fun designing lots of new goodies. Check out what's new in store ...... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have a whole new kit in the Design Story line .... (and I love how Anita used it plus new templates for the fun page at the top of the newsletter) And there was no other title possible for this photo taken after The Husband got an imp

These are some of my all-time fav pics of Daughter-Two, on a summer holiday up the coast at Mangawhai here in New Zealand.I loved that spotty hat, and it actually stayed on her head for reasonable amounts of time! Have you have still got summer pics to scrap - or is the weather is still hot where you are? This week's fun kit has lots of beachy fun with a vintage twist: Here's some more inspiration from the Pollys and the Team: and you can find more in the gallery at The Lil

Hard to believe it is so long since we went on this weekend away up the coast. We stayed at a rented holiday cottage - known here in New Zealand as a 'bach'. (Funnily enough, no-one really knows why. One theory is that it is that people used to liken going away to the rough and ready beachside cottage to living like a bachelor. But that's just one theory!)

I am rescrapping and finishing up Daughter-Two's photobook from the year she was three, which included a trip to the beach with cousins: It was the perfect excuse to use the St Malo Kit, which is new in store at The Lilypad today (and therefore half price for SOSN Wednesday) Along with a mega pack of ripped elements: And ju

There's nowhere these two like being better than the beach. And nothing I like doing better than reliving fun summer days by scrapping the photos. (And nowadays she also likes pretending to be 'cool') It was fun scrapping with the "Iko Island" kit, which is half price for SOSN Wednesday at The Lilypad today: ~ Lynn Save #summerdigitalscrapbooking #ikoisland #digitalscrapbooking #TheLilypad
