iNSD Freebie Hop: Messy, Real, Beautiful | Part 1: Messy

Can you believe it’s almost May already?! That means it’s time for International Scrapbooking Day (iNSD), and we are beyond excited! We love to kick things off early here at TLP, and the fun is already in full swing with our TLP Designer Blog Hop!

We hope you’re enjoying the journey through this year’s blog hop! Make sure to visit every stop to collect all the pieces of our newest collab: Messy, Real, Beautiful – Part 1: Messy—a collection that celebrates the imperfect, layered, beautifully chaotic parts of our stories. Our designers have created something truly special, and you won’t want to miss a single piece! Take a look at the preview below…

You should have arrived here from Lynne-Marie’s YouTube Channel. If you missed any stops along the way, you can find the full list of blog hop stops in the NSD forum—right where the hop began!

On this final stop, we have gorgeous designs from Rachel Etrog Designs and EHStudios—the perfect way to complete your collection! Click on each image below to download their portions of this hop.

Make sure to visit the Blog Hop kick off in the forum if you need to catch up on any stops along the way. Thank you so much for hopping along with us and for always supporting us here at The LilyPad—we appreciate you! 💛

Remember, the freebies for Messy, Real, Beautiful – Part 1: Messy are only available through April 29 at 11:59 pm EDT.

And don’t forget—Part 2: Real and Part 3: Beautiful will be available in the shop as coordinating Free with Purchase kits during our iNSD celebrations, running May 1st through May 4th.

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.

    1. Ohhh, I have a feeling this kit may have found its perfect home with you.
      Sometimes life gives us “messy”… and sometimes we just lean into it and make it beautiful. I’m so glad this one resonates — sounds like it was meant to be!
      Enjoy every bit of it
