{blooming soon} and a {giveaway!}

Happy Wednesday!

Lots of sunny news today and I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far! I can hardly believe we’re on the brink of the holiday season and I’m starting to get really really excited. I’m a complete geek for Thanksgiving, all things advent and Christmas. But before I get completely carried away with the holiday spirit I am happy to say that it’s Wibbet Wednesday….

…and Summer Garden is available today for 50% off!! Summer Garden is a fun and playful set of templates inspired by all things sunny and all things summer, but I think you’ll find can be used for most any page. Or if you’re like me and still catching up on summery pages (lol!) this is the perfect time to snag them.

AND…I am also excited to share peeks of a few {fresh seeds} coming to The Lilypad on Friday that you can use for whatever and whereever your creativity guides you.

First is Taking Shape, which was previously available as part of my collaboration with Tiny Toes Designs during my guest stay at CatScrap. If you haven’t snagged it yet and if you love a play with shapes and papers, this playful set of templates is for you!

I am also releasing two new installments of my Plant Your Story series…a fresh set of Listed templates and a fresh set of Quoted templates. These are really fun for documenting the every day..be it in the conversations we share, the little things our loved ones say or documenting anything listy. I have seen some amazing pages from the girls so far that use these templates in non journal-y ways too..so the possibilities really are endless!

Plant Your Story: Listed {volume two}

Plant Your Story: Quoted {volume two}

Sooooo…if you’d like to win one or all of these {fresh seeds} just leave a comment below telling me what your favorite holiday food is (yum!), for a chance to win before Thursday 18 November at 10pm (PST). One winner will get to choose which they’d like to be gifted with and one lucky winner will win.them.all! You can increase your chances at winning by posting about the giveaway on Twitter and Facebook. Be sure to come back here with a link in the comments.

Good Luck!!

What a great looking set of templates! I am so in love with those Taking Shape ones. My utmost favorite holiday food is Creamed Corn. This is actually a new tradition for our family that was given to us by a friend. It uses 2 cans of regular Corn, Cream Cheese, and a can of green Chilis. Drain the corn but keep 1/2 can of it aside. Mix everything into a casserole dish and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. It’s delicious. I actually double up my recipe (2x everything you see above).

OMG! I love your templates!
I don’t have a favorite holiday food really. I love everything, from turkey to chocolates… but I guess that, living in France, I have a fondness for the “foie gras” of course! 🙂
Thanks for this chance!
