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.

Clean lines married with layers and paper play, strong composition balanced by white space has long been my “style” of scrapbooking. And I was again inspired by these aspects of page design to create a fresh set of templates perfect for documenting your everyday stories.

Meet Iris:

Fresh Seeds | Dahlia no. 2

February 20, 2014 By Mrs. Gleason

I so love journal cards that have a touch of painty goodness to them or that allow you to really make them your own. And I was inspired to create some fresh card templates, to coordinate and complement the Grace collection.

Meet Dahlia no.2 a set of layered 3×4 templates with painty and artsy details and photo spots. Perfect for customizing your own journal cards for use on pages, in pockets or projects. Simply add your own photos, or use the paints on your own cards to make them your own.:

Fresh Seeds | Plant Your Story: Journaled {volume three}, Plant Your Story: Titled {volume one}, and Sage page designs

September 27, 2013 By Mrs. Gleason

One of my most favorite things to do is to play with design in my scrapbooking while still keeping the focus on The Story. And so I find myself inspired by layers and play-with-paper and balance and journal spots working together seamlessly in one design. And it’s that kind of spirit that lives in this week’s new releases.

Meet Plant Your Story: Journaled {volume three}:

This follow-up set of “journaled” templates focuses on the use of journal cards beyond the horizons of typical Project Life or pocket scrapbooking compositions. I love journal cards even though I don’t typically scrap in pocket-scrapbooking ways. Still I love to use them to include journaling in my pages or to layer or to add interest in my designs using “filler” journal cards.

Also new this week is Plant Your Story: Titled {volume one}. I find myself drawn to pages with strong title work and yet it is a facet of my own memory keeping that I sometimes neglect. I find myself playing with titles and title work more often and with more “gusto” when I have a design that incorporates a title seamlessly. These page designs were designed in the spirit of embracing “titling in design”.

And finally. Fresh this week are the Sage page designs. The Sage templates are designed in the spirit of play with paper, love for balance and clean lines in design, and the every day moment.

All is available at The Lilypad for 20% off through Sunday September 22, 2013. Subscribers to The Garden Report receive an additional 10% savings.

Here is some beautiful inspiration with this week’s fresh releases.

As always I looove to see your stories and art too, so please feel free to share with me anytime. Really! Just shoot me a mail through the contact form or share them on my Facebook page.

I so hope you have a beautiful weekend full of memory making (and keeping too!).

November 4, 2012 By Mrs. Gleason

Happy fresh month. Happy BYOC. Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day. Happy Happy. So very much to be happy about! This time of year is one of my most favorite. I just adore the cooler weather, the celebration of creativity, the bubbling anticipation for the holiday season that is just around the corner. And the sense of gratitude that covers it all.

And the beginning of November is FULL of all of that. This month’s Build Your Own Collab at The Lilypad is another stellar collection. It is a burst of color and warm and creativity. (more…)

{fresh seeds} Trellis and Marigold

It’s September. And I’m still shocked that’s so. So when I say that, I’m saying it with an extra emphasis of disbelief, “It’s Sep.tem.ber.” Feel free to add (!!!!!!!) for added effect. You could also slowly shake your head. Or raise your eyebrows as high as they’ll go.

But it’s true. And despite my lamenting over just how quickly time passes every month, the start of each month does make me oh so happy because that means it’s BYOC time at The Lilypad. And this month, we’ve revived the classic school-y palette and spirit of 2011’s Wicked Smart collaboration. The result is a fabulous collection of academic inspired goodies that will perfectly suit any school-y story. And yet the range and depth of the offerings bring versatility to them so they can be used for everyday stories too. It’s an amazing collection that makes me want to scrap, scrap, scrap. (more…)
