8/26/16 | Froggy Friday | Let Them Eat Cake {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} | EXTRA 30% OFF COUPON!

I celebrate my 46th birthday this year on August 26th, and every year, my mother still makes me a birthday cake. Of course, I have loads of photos of my cakes and I love to document them. Let Them Eat Cake {Dressed Up}templates were created with my cake photos in mind, and they feature cake die cuts as well as a variety of other elements. I hope you'll join in and eat cake, too, to celebrate my birthday, and that these templates help you record your own special memories. Let Them Eat Cake {Dressed Down} templates contain the same basic layout composition as the {Dressed Up} templates, but they have a clean, fresh, open spaced look! These NEW templates are 20% off through the weekend! LOOK in your newsletter for an exclusive newsletter subscriber coupon to save an additional 30% off! After The Rain was created by The Lilypad designers in support of our friend and fellow designer, Sabrina Dupre. She lost her home and most of her belongings during the recent flooding in Louisiana. We are so thankful that Sabrina and her family are safe, but they face the daunting task of rebuilding. 100% of the proceeds from this kit will go to a disaster relief fund for Sabrina. The kit contains: 109 elements, 54 papers, an alpha, 8 journal cards and 3 templates. Thank you for helping Sabrina and her family! Here's a peek at all the chats and scraps for the month of August.
