Hi Pad Scrappers!Polly Liana here, with the honor of introducing you to the gorgeous new BYOC for March. For those of you new to the concept, BYOC stands for Build Your Own Collection. Imagine being able to create a “dream team” of designers for a collab… that’s what this is like. Each month, our fab designers create a group of products around a central palette and concepts. Then, you can pick and choose what works for you and everything coordinates perfectly. Great, right? It’s always released on the first Friday of the month (can you believe it’s MARCH already??).

Let’s have a look at the collection for this month. It’s a bright, colorful homage to the potential approach of spring with some lovely … [Read more...]

HI PAD SCRAPPERS!Polly Liana, here to introduce the newest MPM for March. For those who are new to the concept, MPM stands for Memory Pockets Monthly. It’s a wonderful monthly collection that’s perfect for those scrappers who love to work with pockets and journal cards. Each collection is created by some of our most talented pocket card designers (this month it’s Valorie Wibbens, Sara Gleason, Elif Sahin Designs, Designed by Soco, Mommyish and Allison Pennington). They work with the same color palette so all of their designs coordinate, and they are inspired by one key word. This month’s word is CULTIVATE.

I decided to use the word "love" for my title as well because it could be easily centered on the page using big bold alphas.I then started filling in the alphas with lots of elements, mostly using buttons, brads, flair and flowers. I created clusters with the elements on my layout rather then spacing them out as on the paper layout. I also chose to use four colors, pink, yellow, green and blue on the … [Read more...]
