Bring on the Acronyms: BYOC and NSD!

Hi Pad Scrappers!

Polly Liana here, with all kinds of excellent news for you.  First off, today is the premiere of the BYOC for May.  If you’re new to the concept, BYOC stands for Build Your Own Collection.  Every first Friday of the month, our designers release a beautiful collection of products that they’ve created using the same palette.  That way, no matter what you select from the collection, everything will magically coordinate.  Let’s have a look at this amazingly beautiful collection for May:

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
