Don’t you just love the 1st Friday of the Month?  I do!  It means the beginning of the weekend, sure, but it also means it’s BYOC Time at The Lilypad!  A time when the designers pull out all the stops and create a super cool variety of products using the same color palette for us to mix and match to our Scrappy Hearts’ content!  Awesome.

Of course, they are all 20% off right now and the more we buy this weekend only, the more we save.  How cool is that?

 Let me show you what you will be missing if you choose to go against every instinct you have and ignore this awesome-ness…

There are Papers…

Some awesome elements…

How about a few Journal Cards?  

Or some alphas, fonts and wordart?

Finally, let’s round out this goodness with some Templates…

A.MAZ.ING.

Seriously.  Amazing.

So enjoy your Friday, your Weekend and your Shopping!

If you’re anything like me, a significant portion of my Pocket Scrapbooking is done with iPhone pictures. I’ve recently started using several apps that help streamline my process, and I’m all about something that will help me get my memories documented more quickly.

1. Collect: This app works as a visual calendar and keeps track of my pictures, as well as sending reminders about snapping photos. It allows you to search by date, which is a definite plus for me since I am not always vigilant about keeping up to date with my pocket scrapping. Collect also backs up your photos to Flickr, Dropbox, and your computer.

2. PicFrame: My favorite thing to do with PicFrame is to make a 4×6 photo collage from my phone completely ready to print and stick in a pocket. You can even choose to round your corners!

 3. InstaWeather, InstapPlace, InstaFood: I have just discovered these 3 apps, and I think that they will be especially useful on our upcoming spring break trip to Atlanta. They’re also great for trips around town, girl’s night out, date night, etc. They add the address, time, date, weather, forecast . . . all kinds of fun stuff. There are customizable skins, and they are super fun.

Of course, we can’t forget about TLP’s mobile designs. You can check them out here in the store and read a detailed blog post with instructions, ideas, and examples here.

 So what’s your favorite memory-keeping app?
