Froggy Finds: Earth Day

Hi Pad Scrappers!

Polly Liana here, wishing you a very Happy Earth Day! This day is a very important reminder that we have only one planet and we need to take care of it. That means protecting fragile ecosystems, looking into ways to be sustainable and advocating for ways to decrease our impact on this awesome planet of ours.

The good news is that YOU are helping our planet every time you create a digital layout because you’re not using paper or plastic and everything can be used over and over again! How great is that?

Speaking of digital layouts, I have scoured our store for the best and brightest products for you to use when capturing your Earth Day memories. Whether it’s photos from a clean up or maybe a standout you did to advocate for ways to slow climate change, these products are perfect ways to embellish your work in this important mission. (Click any image to link to the product.)

Awesome, right? I hope these layouts have inspired you to capture some of the great work you and your community might be doing to honor Earth Day.

Please remember that we’re always excited about celebrating your layouts in our gallery and we hope that you’ll join us soon for National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday, May 2 (with Pick Your Prize starting in just a few days on April 23rd).

See you there!

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.
