Happy {inter}National Scrapbooking Day!!
It’s that fabulously frenzied and full and creative and bustling and inspiring time of year — where we hop and bop around, shopping and scrapping and having fun far and wide across the scrapbooking community! And I so hope you’re enjoying every minute!!
There are gobs of goodies and lots of news to share today so I’ll dive right in!!
First of all, there is TONS of fun to be had in the forums at The Lilypad this weekend from challenges to giveaways to chats and scraps. And I’m already feeling so inspired by the warmth in the forums and the deluge of inspiration already hitting the gallery. So hope you’ll pop in and enjoy some of the fun with us!
And of course there is the annual 30% off storewide sale! And the store is positively overflowing with gorgeous new products including a beautiful Free With Purchase kit for this weekend!
On top of the fabulous fresh BYOC, released yesterday, I have three fresh releases for today as well!
Meet the latest installments from Papyrus: Papyrus {April} and Papyrus {May}.
The Papyrus collection is part of my fresh adventure in storytelling called “putting pen to paper“. It is a series of templates and journaling prompts rooted in encouraging myself and other scrapbookers and storytellers to “just press record” and document our days.
The {April} installment is inspired by the bridging of Yesterday and Today and encourages us to document Then and Now.
The {May} installment is inspired by the “stuff” — the artifacts — in our lives. We will explore documenting what our “things” tell us about ourselves and how they define our stories.
And still, as ever, these templates can be used apart from the prompts to tell any story and scrap any page tailored to your own scrapping needs and style.
Each set includes 4 page designs AND 4 prompts plus additional .pdf content to inspire and encourage you to tell your stories.
Here’s some beautiful inspiration from my Storytellers and the Pollys:
Papyrus {April} and Papyrus {May} are available for 30% off through Monday 7 May.
And then there is this.
Two years ago, NSD marked my designing debut and I celebrated with the support and cooperation of my dear friend Crystal as we released a special template-only grab bag together. Last year, we thought it would be fun to revisit the grab baggy spirit and fun and now it’s become kind of a tradition for us. So I’m happy to present the 3rd Annual {i}NSD Grab Bag collaboration from Zinnias and Swallowtails and Crystal Livesay. This is a versatile set of 8 layered templates inspired by layers and a play with paper.
And this fabulous grab bag is available this weekend only for only $3 (regular price is $9)! You can grab these savings through Monday 7 May.
And here it is in action:
And what would {i} NSD be without a little extra extra, right? So be sure you check the blog for a freebie tomorrow as part of the DSA blog hop and my facebook page for a free download as part of the Lilypad facebook blog hop!
As always I looove to see your stories and art too, so please feel free to share with me anytime. Just shoot me a mail or share them on my facebook page. And if you haven’t signed up the newsletter yet you may want to do that so you can be the first to hear the latest news and get the latest exclusive savings.
Here’s to a very happy scrappy weekend!! Hope it’s beautiful!!
