Fresh Seeds | Poppy

April 25, 2014 By Mrs. Gleason

I love page designs that play with richness in layers and paper while still feeling balanced by a measured use of space. And so I’m happy to introduce my latest set of page design templates that are rooted in just those qualities.

Meet Poppy. Poppy features layering and plays with page edges while still keeping strong composition at the heart of the designs:

Here is a spot of creative inspiration from the Storytellers and Pollys:

I always love seeing how a page design is transformed by each individual’s style and the different palettes and products used.

Poppy is available for 20% off through the Sunday 27 April, 2014.

Fresh Seeds | Grace Collaboration with Lynne-Marie

February 20, 2014 By Mrs. Gleason

Grace means different things to different people. To me, “grace” is about kindness; forgiveness; seeing the best in others and ourselves; seeing the good things in the world; letting go of hurts, mistakes and dark times in our lives; knowing that we are all works in progress; intentionally finding the beauty around us, in others — and importantly — in ourselves; and feeling the empowerment of loving and caring in spite of circumstance. It’s at once a gift to give and to receive. It can be a source of great joy and peace. And it’s something that inspires my everyday.

And so when I saw that this theme and topic was one Lynne-Marie mapped out for a place in her Love Yourself journey, I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of it. The result of our collaboration was a fabulous exercise in creativity and expression as we both poured our hopes into this product.

And today I’m so happy to introduce Grace, a collaboration with Lynne-Marie:

Fresh Seeds | DSD 2013 Grab Bag

November 1, 2013 By Mrs. Gleason

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!!

I am so happy to say that in addition to my fresh November BYOC products, the opportunities for savings with the PYS savings guide, a new Sparkle Confetti freebie on my Facebook page, my contribution to the quarterly DigiScrap Parade, and all the fun and games to be had in The Lilypad forums, I also have a brand new release!

One of my most favorite “traditions” of celebrating All Things Scrappy, is the collaborative fun I have with long-time friend Crystal Livesay. And every year we look forward to creating our annual Grab Bag for DSD.

It’s here and it’s inspired by paper play and as ever these page designs are versatile enough to suit any scrapping style or story:

Fresh Seeds | Ash Tree

October 31, 2013 By Mrs. Bonneville

I really find myself inspired by all things list-y, by numbers, and by any stories that find themselves rooted in those things.

Journaling a list is a fantastic method for capturing the story and the details that live in our every day. And it can be fun to center the story around a number by creating a portrait of a loved one (or yourself) at a certain age, for example, or by documenting a specific day or time of day, or even documenting the number of times your daughter wants to watch her favorite My Little Pony show (we’re at 73, for the record).

So many stories have a connection to numbers, and to listing. And so it was that spirit of story that inspired my latest collection fresh for the November BYOC at The Lilypad and just in time for Digital Scrapbooking Day!

Meet Ash Tree {elements} and Ash Tree {papers}:

And joining the element and paper collections is this set of {words and numbers}. FULL of various numerals and number-centric elements, journal cards, and of word art pieces that focus on counting gratitudes, giving thanks, finding the good things, focusing on what matters most.

This set is a beautiful complement to Ash Tree and would work perfectly for celebrating gratitude, finding the positives and embracing deliberate thankfulness. It lends itself well to 30 Days of Gratitude projects or any other story or page featuring numbers, gratitude or both:

Get inspired with these pages..I love the range of story here!

I hope you enjoy playing with the Ash Tree collection! I would love to see your pages! Share with me on Facebook or in my gallery at The Lilypad or Plant Your Story!

And now it’s time for the Digital Scrapbooking Day hullaballoo to begin! Happy Scrapping!
