Froggy Finds: Spring

Welcome back, Pad Scrappers!

Polly Liana, here once again to whisk you back to the beginnings of the Lilypad to feature some products that may have escaped your notice but are still awesome choices for your layouts! This time, we’re focusing on Spring. Yes, in this region we are finally coming out of the depths of a long, dark, cold winter. Things are waking up and little bits of green and pink are starting to peek out from trees, bushes and grasses. This is my favorite season and I love to scrap about all the fun events that come with this time of year.

For this post, I did a search in the shop for Spring products and then went waaaaay back to the start of the Lilypad. Here are some of my favorite products from that search.

First up, I love love LOVE these sweet little embroidered flowers from Valorie Wibbens. They add just the right delicate touch to layouts featuring new blooms;

Here are two alphas I love to use for Spring layouts. The first is a whimsical one from CD Muckosky. I love the handmade feel of them and the colors are perfect for bright images.

The other is a very clever alpha from Sahlin Studios that looks like it’s made out of grass! Check out the detail on this product– it’s so fresh, you can almost smell the grass.

Here is a trifecta of amazing Spring-themed products from the very clever Kim Jensen. In particular, I love the flowers made out of egg cartons!

And one more sweet, delicate kit from Sahlin Studios to round out the collection. Love the tiny patterns and springy colors:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this trip down the Spring Memory Lane and that you may have rediscovered some products that would be helpful for your Spring layouts. Enjoy!

I was born and raised in Hawai’i, now living on the East Coast, I’ve been married nearly 20 years and have two awesome daughters. I’ve spent over 30 years in the classroom as a teacher and also run my own photography business. I love walking in the woods, making beautiful things, and laughing my butt off—preferably all in the same day.

My creative style is vibrant, fun, and just the right amount of snarky. As a photographer, I’ve learned to find beauty in the ordinary, and that definitely shows up in my scrapbooking. On The Lilypad, I’m constantly inspired by the community—especially layouts that evoke joy. There’s nothing better than scrolling the gallery and feeling that spark to create something of my own.

I’m totally hooked on templates. Starting from scratch can be overwhelming, so templates help me visualize the page and jumpstart the process. I also rely on shadow styles that I tweak as needed—they’re a big time-saver.

If you’re new to scrapbooking, my biggest piece of advice is this: print your stuff out. I’ve been making books for years, and my kids still look through them all the time. I leave them out in our living room, and guests flip through them too. Your work is meant to be appreciated—so let it be seen. And don’t forget to share your pages in the gallery! We love following along with your life and celebrating your creativity. This is a global, joyful, and delightfully supportive community—and there’s always room for more.
