Mixed Media Minimalist Pages

Mixed Media Minimalist Pages

Have you ever worked with the Mixed Media products at The Lilypad? If so, then you already know how amazing the products are. But, if you haven't, then let me share a little secret with you...they are not just for art journaling, mixed media style of pages. They are for all scrapbooking styles and, even more specifically, for minimalist pages.It doesn't matter where you start, whether you have a photo chosen and want to build your design around that, or if you spotted some product or paper you just can't resist, and you have the urge to use them right away (that happens to me all the time, I spot a little piece of a kit and my heart skips a beat, I need to have it and scrap with it).If you think you might be overwhelmed by the magnitude of products in the monthly mixed media collection and not know where to start or even if it is a collection that you will want to use, try … [Read more...]

Recreating Painterly and Blended Background Photo [with video]

Hey everyone! I thought I would do a quick post on how I did the photo blending on my background on this page with the November 2016 awesome M3. A lot of this was learned from Jana and the November 2016 Champions at Scrapaneers (which featured an awesome kit of Lynn's!).First off you are going to need a smart phone, or know how to recreate your own pencil like sketching in your photo editing software. I used the Prisma App for both of my photos editing but for this little tutorial, I am going to focus on the blended background photo.Open your photo in Prisma and you will find all kinds of fun filters to create painting/drawing effects on your photos. These change regularly! So if there is one that you like edit a bunch of photos with it and save them because it might not be there long!For my photo I ran the #GettUrban filter. I wanted to keep some of the blue of … [Read more...]

December 24, 2015 by The Lilypad Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas Pad Scrappers!Polly Liana here, honored to be the first one to welcome you all back to our NEW Lilypad! Last Sunday we went through a wonderful transformation to an elegant, brighter, even more user-friendly version of our site. If you haven't seen it yet, please jump in and have a look around. All your favorite things are still there but there are some improvements that are outstanding and make the site even more lovely, if that was at all possible. One of my favorite updates is that our gallery now features larger thumbnails, making all the layouts shine even more brightly. Also, the forums are even easier to use and have some new fun functions, like a "like" button and the ability to reply more easily. This is all in preparation for our Month of Challenges which starts January 1! Are you ready?The other reason for this post today is to introduce you to December's … [Read more...]

Mixed Media Monthly | Dream, Daring, Ideas

Chances are... you daydream from time to time. Or you come up with great (and maybe some not-so-great) ideas.

Wow.Take a look at the imaginative kit that may help you unlock some of those dreams and ideas, and get them out onto a page.  And of course, each … [Read more...]
