Good morning ladies ( and guys if we have some). It’s Carly here to just post about what I must have in my Lilypad scrapping folder. Now these are items that I have used more than one time and that I JUST had to have. I do have ALOT of must haves so I am going to keep it really small and simple ( kinda lol). I have been a lover and shopper of all things Lilypad for a long time. I just have found everything my scrapping heart desires here at The Pad. I will probally always find what my scrapping heart desires here forever if I need to be honest. So anyway, before I go off into a whole new post, the list of TLP designers is in one word WOW. Yep just WOW. Have you seen it lately? If not you should. Perfection
So here are a few of my MUST haves. I will say before hand that I NEED a little sumthin sumthin from every designer at the Pad but these are just my use all the time folder. So lets get this party started.
Markerific by CD- I mean SRSLY? This alpha gets used on almost every page. If it were a real marker I am sure it would be dry and used up by me already. I also just realized I have been spelling the name wrong of the product LOL! I think this is in my top 5 of favorite alphas ever.

Ah yes the fabulous and amazing Sara Gleason decided to rock some crafty goodness and put out her world famous PETALS. I would be lying if I didnt dream about these every night. They are seriously the best work of art ever. She uses fabric, papers, paint and is a truly talented lady. I like all her Petals but these 2 are my top

One of my favorite ladies who makes yummy touchable paper is Allison Pennington. I couldn’t pick just one pack of hers as I want and love them all so I am just linking to her whole shop LOL Be warned you will get lost in there for hours

Acid Wash Fringe by Kim Jensen. OMG I had to have this. Jeans AND acid wash = perfect. Absolute perfect.

ANY splatterifics by Karah Fredricks. I mean ANY. She has at least 19 sets so I am just going to link to her whole store. If there is one thing I can’t live without on a page. These would be it.

Ok, have you seen Valorie Wibbens Sprinkles? I think we all ask her for some with every BYOC LOL!!! I hope she never gets tired of making them because we will never tire of using them. Long Live Sprinkles ( said like Morgan Freeman). She has 10 sets in her store but I am picking her most recent as my FAV right now.

I also can’t for get the font that made me love typewriters all over again. Miss Hess ( or Joyce since she got married :P) rocked it out with The Dry Ribbon

Let me talk about the BYOC which if you are a scrapper and want to really get all up in the mix and match this is the way to go. I don’t think I have ever been disappointed with the BYOC ever. I love how the designers all mesh with each other with each BYOC that comes out. I think this is my favorite part of shopping at TLP every month. I usually mark it on my calendar LOL There are so many yummy delicious morsels ( I am hungry can’t you tell) in the BYOC I thought I would link you to my top 3 BYOC.
November BYOC- The colors were so rich and yummy everything drew me in

Feb BYOC- I am NOT a pastel person but the way this palette was done WOW’d me. I have used it about 8-9
times and plan to many more times. This is my number 1.

Sept BYOC- I love the red in this. Plus the products just blew me away

Pretty much if you need some must haves I would check the BYOC. There are always things you will reuse over and over again, I am signing off for this morning and I hope that everyone finds some happiness in this sad weekend. Love your kids and hug them tight to you always.

I’d have to agree with you on just about every product and BYOC in your blog entry! The BYOCs have been phenomenal this year. Between the color palettes, the papers & patterns, and the elements, not to mention the alphas and fonts, it’s like taking in a group masterpiece of art every month. That’s how I feel, and I am *not* exaggerating!
