Every two weeks we ask one of our staff members to choose their favorite products in the shop. Then we put those products on sale! Our latest Polly Picks sale includes products chosen by the lovely Melanie:
Melanie is one of our newest Pollys at The Lilypad. If you are a Memory Pockets Monthly subscriber, you are probably very familiar with her, as she provides monthly tutorials and inspiration in our exclusive MPM forum. Melanie is a fantastic layout and pocket page artist and has so much enthusiasm for scrapbooking and The Lilypad. When I look through her gallery, I notice the focus is on her photos. She is a girl after my own heart – she loves black and white and often uses white backgrounds with colorful elements to accent her photos. We asked Melanie to describe her style, and this is what she had to say:
“I am relatively new to digital scrapbooking, and scrapbooking in general. I discovered this wonderful world through Pinterest in March 2013. I did my first 12×12 layout in July 2013, for the TLP challenges. I don’t think my style is very defined yet. When I first started, my style was “put things on a page & make it look pretty”! Now, I think I have developed a more clean & fun style, but I am always learning, always trying new things, and always improving. I usually start with a white or neutral background. I like my photos to pop! I like to use templates, but I usually strip them back to the bare foundation & then add minimal elements. I love adding doodles to my pages! On the other hand, my pocket scrapbooking style is very easy to describe: It’s clean & fresh! I like lots of white & I like big photos!”
Here is some fantastic inspiration from Melanie:
Each page is linked so you can go to the gallery and leave Melanie some love. Or just go to the sale right now, and make your own fun with the products Melanie chose! These particular products will be on sale for two weeks.
