March BYOC: Cool Spring on the Way

Greetings, Pad Scrappers!

Polly Liana here, jumping with joy because I get to bring you the BYOC for March. For those of you who are new to the concept, BYOC stands for Build Your Own Collection. On the first Friday of each month, our designers release a collection that has been created using the same palette and general theme. The great thing about this collection is that no matter what you grab from it, everything is going to coordinate magically!

This month’s BYOC features the cool greens of an approaching Spring (for those of us in the western hemisphere) and the purples and yellows of spring flowers, starting to peep out of the snow.

Let’s have a look at the collection!

First, delightful papers:

Clever elements, kits and collections:

A helpful template:

Fun alphas and word art:

And for you pocket scrappers, some great journal cards:

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.
