Froggy Finds: Mother’s Day

Hi Pad Scrappers!

Polly Liana here. Here in the US, yesterday some of us celebrated Mother’s Day. We take a day to celebrate anyone who has played the role of a Mother in someone’s life. Some folks have brunch, give flowers, gather together, make phone calls or give cards to the people who they consider a Mom.

I thought it might be good to highlight some of the products we have here at The Lilypad that can be used when scrapping a Mother’s Day layout. These products aren’t recently posted but instead were featured years ago. We call this Froggy Finds: where we go back years, sometimes decades, to find some hidden gems that are still very sparkly– they just need a little light to shine on them. Let’s have a look at some great products for Mother’s Day:

First up, Sahlin Studio’s super sweet kit with vintage elements and soft colors:

I just love these clever beads from Kim Jensen! And you get so many different combinations. Perfect embellishment for any layout that features a friend or family member:

Who knew a planner kit could be used for Mother’s Day? Mommyish, that’s who! And it features other important events from May like Cinco de Mayo or the approach of summer:

Sabrina Dupre Designs created this adorable kit with feminine details:

Gina Miller Designs made this cheeky take on very protective mothers:

A beautiful, positive kit from Anita Designs with elements and papers that can be used for all kinds of layouts:

Who doesn’t love a touch of vintage imagery for a Mom page? From Paula Kesselring:

I just love love love these elements from Lynn Grieveson. Perfect for recording the long time you’ve known and loved a Mom:

And one more beauty from Anita Designs, to round out the collection:

I loved unearthing these products today! Now I’m off to make a layout honoring my own wonderful Mom. Hope you have a great week!

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.
