The Lilypad

Snapshots :: Free Download

collecting snapshots of …

  • everyday details and focal points
  • personality portraits of loved ones
  • story highlights and lowlights and all the-in-between-lights
  • that time you laughed until you cried, that time we sat together in the dark when times were hard, that time I felt brave or anxious or hopeful or contemplative, that time we celebrated, that time we embraced routine
  • all the moments that weave together into a beautiful tapestry of what our life and story looks like, right now
  • and the Lilypad blog hop that is celebrating these very Snapshots helping us to document the photos, stories and moments of our lives with a collection designed just for National Scrapbook Day 2018. 

Yes…that’s right!  (and Yay and Hooray!) The Hullabaloo has commenced. The Lilypad Designers have created a fresh series of free downloads to kick of this year’s National Scrapbook Day festivities!  And so you may have found your way here from The Lilypad blog as you hop along collecting these vibrant and versatile bits.

As for me, collecting “snapshots” has always been the foundation of my personal memory keeping and documentation of family history. I collect snapshots of favorites, of milestones, of personality, of todays, of hopes and wishes, of current events.  And then, when looked at from afar or when looked at together, these “snapshots” paint a beautiful portrait of what life is like for us, right now. Or once upon a time. And so I love, LOVED this theme and I was inspired by the vibrant and fun color scape to create pieces that are versatile and story-centric to help document all of life’s Snapshots.  So hope you enjoy!

As for me, personal artifacts have always been one of my most favorite things to document in my personal and family stories. From my daughters’ childhood artwork, to the treasured book I loved myself when I was young and have carried with me through every military move, to my grandmother’s sewing machine, to even the every day Things that fill our current lives: the backpacks, the devices, the books, the favorites.  I was inspired to create something with a touch of Classic, a touch of Vintage, a touch of versatility and warmth to help document all those Treasured Things.  So hope you enjoy!

Per Diem

“For each day”. Per Diem.

Every day we live our story. From moment to moment our narrative reveals itself through events and happenings, through circumstances, through relationships. Story lives in our routines and in all the “ordinary” things. Story lives in perceptions and emotions and interactions. It lives in our choices and how we spend our time. It is the daily details.

And Per Diem is all about keeping those everyday memories and documenting their story…for each day. Inspired by the little moments that weave themselves into biffer tapestries of Story, the Per Diem collection features cheerful color, classic and versatile story centric pieces perfect for documenting your daily stories. 

Meet the Per Diem collection.
