It’s that time of year for many of us when Spring is firmly here and we’re beginning to see glimpes of Summer.  It’s very nearly {inter} National Scrapbooking Day so there is just this warm and buzzy energy throughout the community.  And it’s time for a Fresh BYOC.  And it is fan…wait for it…tastic.  It makes me want to scrap.  And I so hope you like it!!

I was inspired by that sunny, happy, crafty feeling that just oozes from it when I decided to continue my love affair with tissue paper.  Meet Petals.

The Petals collection is a colorful, happy, and paper-y collection of 15 different hand-crafted layered paper borders/mats. There are monochromatic, two-toned and multi-colored borders and mats. No two are the same and none are re-colored.  You can use them in combination or alone to dress up your pages and projects with an extra touch of hand-crafted whimy.

Use them as big borders, build mats, use them as accents to create interest on your pages, frame photos.  There are really so many creative possibilities for scrapping with these and  I really think you’ll have fun playing with them!  The colors are versatile enough to coordinate with most any page but they also work so beautifully and seamlessly with the May 2012 BYOC collection at The Lilypad.

I have LOVED and felt SO inspired by every page I’ve seen created with these.  It really makes my heart so happy!

WOW.  Right?!

Also fresh for the BYOC is Dahlia.  I was inspired by a few customer comments to create these fun and simple templates.  Which are created with the hope that they will help you easily build cohesive and customized cards for your Project Life documenting or in the creation of any card or page.

Dahlia is a collection of 20 different 4×6 templates are designed in the spirit of the every day, of fun, sunshine, summer and play..with simple photo centric compositions that can be used alone or as foundations for your pages, or for creating a cohesive and customized look for your project life pages and project scrapping. Can even be used for creating hybrid cards in your blogging.

Both the Petals and Dahlia are available in my shoppe for 30% off as part of The Lilypad’s {i}NSD celebrations this weekend!  You can snag them for 30% off through Monday 7 2012.
