Season of Love

Tis the season of love! And in the digital scrapbooking world, there’s no better way to celebrate than joining in with The Lilypad’s Love Our Designers event. Each day spotlights a different designer. There are sales and specials, and it’s a great way to get to know each of the designers! I’m trying to scrap along every day and it’s been a lot of fun to rediscover some of my long time favorites. So I thought I’d pop in and share some of the pages I’ve done so far 🙂

Linger

Now that I have finished MOC and I’m getting ready to head back to work after way too many snow days, I’m looking towards being more intentional with my time and making time to share more and write more.

Today, I wanted to share about an exciting venture for Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson! They have released a “Project Kit” over on their Pixels, Paper & Paint Substack! It is a bonus kit for premium subscribers and, along with it, you get access to some wonderful prompts and amazing inspiration as part of the community!

I had the privilege of working with this month’s gorgeous collection – Linger. I am struggling a little with my last “baby” being of the verge of leaving the nest. He has been my velcro baby, my best friend, the one who did everything with me. So for now, I’m lingering in the memories and the moments of each day.

If you’re not subscribed to Pixels, Paper & Paint, what are you waiting for!! Come and join us! Thanks for stopping by!!

What day is it?

Whew, this is my 5th day stuck at home because of the weather and I’m just about to go mad. You’d think that I’d have all kinds of housework done, but that just doesn’t happen when I get anxious about just being able to leave my house. But at least I’m keeping up with scrapping!

I thought I’d drop by again today and share some of what I’ve been working on.

If you’re not aware, today is SOSN at The Lilypad! That means 50% off on some amazing kits for your stash!! I got to work with a beautiful collection by Lynn Grieveson Designs – Small Joys Digital Scrapbooking Collection 

I also thought I’d share the last couple of day’s MOC pages

Not Quite

I’m not quite up to speed on posting here on a regular basis quite yet, but I’m trying. I swear, this winter has really done a number on me. My seaonsal depression has been at an all time high and it seems to be the winter that will never end. I’m working on getting my motivation and drive back, but it’s still a work in progress.

I have a couple of new releases to share today. If you are not familiar with Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson’s Hear My Voice series, you are really missing out. Each collection is so beautifully creative and just stunning. This week, they have released Hear My Voice 31 – Watching

Over at the Sweet Shoppe, River~Rose has a beautiful new collection called Signs of Spring

That’s all I have for this week. I’m getting ready to work on updating my PL page. I am loving the Simple Stories || January ’25 || Templates “Weeks of Memories” by Nic N Joy I’m using this year. They truly make getting my pages done a breeze!! If you want to see those pages you can head over here – PL 2025.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to be back real soon!!
