Polly Picks – Celeste
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 sale involves products chosen by the lovely Celeste: Celeste is one of my favorite scrappers at The Lilypad. I adore her colorful, clean and crisp style. Her pages are so fun to look at, and I admire how she keeps the focus on the story. Celeste is such an inspiration and is always honing her craft. She is one of our most active challenge scrappers at the Pad. We asked Celeste to describe her scrapping style and this is what she had to say:"My scrapping style is fairly clean, but layered. I leave quite a bit of white space on my pages. I am a lover of patterned paper and really have a knack for mixing pattern, scale and color. I rely mostly on paint and round elements like buttons, brads or flair to finish off my … [Read more...]

We Are Storytellers.
Why do we scrap? Well, for many reasons of course. For me, it is a creative outlet. And my digital scrapping allows for this creativity without taking up too much space (which I don't have). I love the colors and the fun elements and the papers and the techniques and the process.It is also a way to show off photos. I am always trying to improve my photography as well as my post processing, and scrapping gives me a canvas on which to display my work. This will allow future generations to see our little sliver of humanity though my eyes, giving them a glimpse of who we are.It can be therapeutic as well, allowing emotions to roll out through journaling or art journaling. Kind of like a "Dear Diary" in visual form. This has helped many through difficult times and cannot be discounted.But honestly, above everything else, scrapping is a way to tell our stories. I would … [Read more...]
