I know I'm in good company at The Lilypad as a digital scrapbooker who's "doing Project Life"! If you love all the gorgeous digital products our designers keep producing, but also like having a physical album in your hands (in other words, you've joined the hybrid camp!), then this post is for you. Don't think of "hybrid" as something scary - it can be as easy as printing and cutting word strips, or adding a cute heart element to your photo before printing. These are just a few ideas of things I have done.Certainly there are many beautiful journaling cards available in the shop that you could just print and insert in your album (in fact, we have a whole section dedicated to them here!), and I have done that, but I also enjoy dressing things up a bit when I have a little extra time. I'm going to show you a few quick-and-easy ways I use digital designs in my Project Life album, from … [Read more...]

Winter Wonderland!
Greetings, Snowy Scrappers!The big news around here in New England this weekend is the epic blizzard Nemo that rolled into town yesterday, dumping a few feet of snow on the region. My post will be pretty short because my lights are flickering and I may lose power. I wanted to share a few photos of the front and back of our home before and after the storm....Here's our view of the town forest before (note the mailbox to the right) And after...Here's our back porch before... And after (I couldn't even open the door!) Here's my three-year-old daughter, who is a little under three feet tall: Now that you've been inspired by these snowy scenes, let's take a look at some wintery products from our store that will be perfect for documenting all the blizzardy … [Read more...]

February Challenges
Happy Monday morning everyone! Polly Karen here to bring you an overview of all the new monthly challenges posted on Friday in the forum. I am still in awe of all the participation we had last month with the regular monthly challenges as well as the daily challenges. I think over 70 people completed all 31 of the daily challenges and a few really dedicated people completed all 7 of the monthly challenges on top of that! Wow! That is a lot of scrapping in one month! The gallery has been so much fun to look through. This month we once again have 7 new monthly challenges, so it should be no problem at all for many of you to complete these by the end of the month! Here's a look at what the Challenge Polly's have cooked up for you: 1. One Word Challenge - The One Word Challenge this month is hosted by Julie (mrs2a50). She has selected the word "Today" for this challenge. … [Read more...]
