**Closed**Winner Announced**Personality Shopping | iNSD 2025

Paper: I love flowers and doggies! I love good geometrics too and busy prints in dresses & shirts too!


Ellies: We currently have 5 teenagers living here so- chaos is king...


Alpha: I love all flowers & greenery! I love houseplants too- although they don't always survive under my over watering habits!

 

Paper: I live with my feelings - up & down - and it can change from minute to minute. My life is a roller coaster.


Elements: Vegetarian for life!


Alpha: Some call it weird - I call it free!

 

Papers
I don't really like the heat of summer, but I do love wearing the brighter colour clothes, especially dresses, with bold abstract and floral patterns. I don't have a plain top or dress in my wardrobe at all!


Elements
I cannot abide is being lied to or deceived. I don't see the point when I am a genuine and tolerant person generally myself I don't see why others can't be the same.


Alpha
I'm a real homebody and look what I found in the store. The preview says word art but it comes with the alpha too. This has gone straight into my basket!

 

Paper pack: Belong gradients by ninigoesdigi. The colors are both bright and cozy, I'm a sucker for gradients, and I want people to feel like they're safe around me.


Elements: Almost Said it (assorted mix) by Little Butterfly Wings. I've stopped really talking about how hard things are because it just makes it harder to have to manage other people's feelings on top of everything else. Plus that purple-haired art doll calls to me.


Alpha: Intueri alpha by Rachel Jeffries and ninigoesdigi. I usually write in black but love to have a little color accent. I have a bunch of different colored pens in my bag for accent when taking notes at various appointments. Plus there's a star!

 

Elements: On Foot by Rachel Jefferies.
Because time spent wandering in nature calms the wild soul and recharges battery.



papers: Black and White papers by Paula Kesselring
Because decisions are easier to make with fewer options



alpha: Almost Said it by LBW
because it is simple, but at the same time creative

 

Paper pack: the title says it all, and right now I need to believe in my dreams


Element pack: this is how everything feels right now, at my job, the state of the world etc.


Alpha pack: music on world off any chance I get

 

Papers I chose When You're Alone Paper Pack by EHStudio because I am a bit of an introvert so the name seemed perfect, I need time alone to recharge my battery & also blues are among my favorite colors, they feel both calm and peaceful but also big and full of wonder because it reminds me of the ocean (which is another love)

Element Pack I went with Explore the Unknown by Rachel Etrog Designs because I feel like a bit of gypsy soul, I am ready to move after we've lived somewhere for 2-3 years, always wanting to go explore some where new (it doesn't usually get to happen that way but I'm ready for a move), and even after 20+ years as a military spouse I am not ready to put down roots anywhere and of course would travel all the time to just explore places if I could

and for the alpha I went with Hey Lisa by Gina Miller because I love splashes of color, I think I'm usually pretty optimistic and the colors feel happy and optimistic and of course the zebra print speaks to me - Zebras are the mascot for Rare Diseases and have a special place in my heart and family as my youngest has a rare among the rare condition and then my sister, me, and one of of my boys also has a rare disease - our family just tends to do all the things in the weirdest ways possible medically lol my sister and I have matching zebra tattoos even

 

I've always been fascinated with weather. I like to follow storm chaser feeds.

Love the great outdoors and going for hikes.

Life is a journey and I love to travel.

Thank you for the fun and games!

 

I chose Hearts First - because I love rainbows and this sings all the colours!

Being by the water and just enjoying the sounds:


I definately think I weird and don't really fit it, so this is perfect:

 

PAPER PACK: I am a fairly orderly person, so I like the classics when it comes to papers--geometrics, simple but beautiful patterns, florals, and polka dots. And since I'm a huge fan of the ocean, this one speaks to me:



ELEMENT PACK: I like some realism to my pages, because, frankly, I AM a realist, kind of no-nonsense, really. And since I love the ocean to which I can escape any time I want, here's a set of elements for me:



ALPHA: I don't use alphas that much, since I prefer using someone else's title word art, but because I used to be a paper scrapper, and because I'm old and my first job was in a library where we actually used STAMPS to do work, I'm picking this one:

 

This paper matches my personality because it has a bit of everything. Most of the patterns are small and focused (I can be focused some times) and some are a bit more bold (I can also be bold!)

I love an element pack that has a ribbon of sorts, flowers, button - or things that can attach things to the page. I think this carries over from my paper scrapbooking days and I still have a hard time getting rid of any little bits of ribbon from packages or bits that I might be able to use on a card or craft.


I think this alpha might represent me. A little bit messy.

 

Papers: Love me some bright colours in general but also love me some neutrals too. If you saw what I gravitate towards in clothing this would be it in a nutshell (if it had purple in it, it would be perfect)


Elements: I often think I'm a introvert in real life, I need the downtime as well as the safety and security of home to truly be me and recharge all of my batteries (physical, mental, relationships etc).


Alpha: I wouldn't class myself as a "straight A's" kind of gal in my younger years but I love studying especially if it's something I'm passionate about plus I love research so I guess I'd say I'm kind of nerdy!


This was fun! Must admit many of these choices weren't what I was thinking when I first saw this challenge but it was fun to explore what really makes our personality through TLP products.

 

Choosing this one for my elements for the "whatever" girl in the middle because I try not to let too much bother me:

I'm going with this alpha because it's sporty and I'm sporty:

I chose these papers cuz I'm a little wonky/weird lol
https://the-lilypad.com/store/Wonky-Papers.html

 

My personality is pretty much what you see in my layouts...I scrap from my heart...with my heart on my sleeve...all the feels & emotions...These elements have my name written all over them...Especially RISE and ACHE...I mean there is a case for every word here...



Might as well make it a full set...The just-so-happening to match papers to these elements...I basically use only artsy/mix media type of papers to scrap,as they are much easier to blend them as I often do...They again describe my personality...Full of different colors/different textures/different moods...and they also seem to suit the chaos that is my daily life,filled with its many ups and downs...These are perfect for me...Look at that half-heart paper...all that grungy goodness,paint,letters,random numbers and words with scribbles,threads...the black and grey...These are literally perfect for me...



Now...word arts are what make up my layouts...Without them,I wouldn't be able to scrap pages as I like to...They are often the focal point of what I am trying to convey or how I am interpreting my feelings in each layout and in each subject of that layout...And since that is how I scrap my life...I think you get the drift...
Again...Let's make it a trifecta...

 

This Alpha is kind of crazy (no offense Nicole, I do love it) like me.

I LOVE these Page fillers and would definitely use them as background papers. They are colourful and quirky like me.

And these embellies are funky and once again, colourful just like me.

 

Paper Pack: I really like these colors! While things in my life have settled down (for now), I have definitely had times when "overwhelmed" is an understatement. If I were to scrap about it, this would be the papers I would use.

Digital Paper Packs for Scrapbooking – The Lilypad

Elements: I was a doll maker in a past life (before I found digi scrapping LOL!) and these little cuties are just what I tried to make.

Alphas: I am a color freak, so this set not only speaks to me ... it YELLS!

But, then, there's this one! 'Nuff said.
Alphas | Alphabet Scrapbook Ideas – The Lilypad

 

Elements: I love the colors, and the messy feel, and those art dolls are just me!


Papers: Pink is my favorite color, and I love flowers


Alpha: I love how this pack has different alphas that go along so well together. I feel it's like the many sides of my personality!

 

I am a neutral cloths lover too, but my colors are more navy, gray, etc., basically winter colors so I went with this one

this describes my passion for the good food. I really like the good food, although takes me hours to prepare something I can do it just for the pleasure of enjoying it.

I'm a real nature lover, and I can spend hours walking in the wilderness enjoying the fresh breeze and the sounds. Nothing betters than being in contact with nature.

 

My life has been quite a mess recently, so I chose these messy mixed media papers to represent that.


As I am quite shy, closed and introverted, I think the elements from this kit will suit me well.


And this alpha too.
