{NEW} Every Now and Then 2 Templates | NEW Freebies for Jan!

 

Every Now and Then 2 {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} templates are multi-photo, carefully embellished, and perfectly painted for you to document the every now and then moments that are perfectly captured in photos. These layout compositions are versatile and will help you create lovely pages, whether those every now and then moments are happy or sad . . . good or bad. You'll find custom shadows and dynamic shading on the photo spots so that you can make beautifully shadowed layouts quickly and easily.

You'll save 20% off on these templates through January 29, 2023. Be sure to look in your latest FDD newsletter for your exclusive subscriber coupon to save an additional 20% off!

We have started a new monthly challenge series called Finding Me In 2023. The goal of this series is to help you create an album of layouts specifically about you. Each month, a new theme will be presented along with one or more example layouts. By the end of the year, you will have a cover layout, at least 12 layouts, and an ending layout.

The series is facilitated by me (gonewiththewind or Cheryl of Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs). Each month, one or more TLP designers will sponsor. You may find a new product from the designer sponsor(s) to help you specifically create your layout in keeping with the month’s theme, an exclusive coupon to purchase product from the designer sponsor, or a random giveaway.

Come join in and create your cover page and first layout! There's a special coupon from me included for this month as well as a freebie! Here's a peek at my cover layout and my first layout for this album.

SOSN 50% Off Two Halves 1 & 2 Templates | Personal Update | New Free Templates!

 

I've been absent from regular postings on my website since mid-December. 2022 was a hard year for me for many reasons. I think there just came a point when I just became overwhelmed and had to take a step back. I've been creating layouts live every Thursday night for Month of Challenges, but other than that, I've found it hard to stay at my computer. I think I've reached a fairly good spot and can feel my creativity pushing forward. You'll see new templates come into your inbox for this week!

I hope that if you've been struggling like me, that you've found your way through the dark spots, and that you are allowing your creativity to heal you.
SOSN (Something Old Something New) is here! Every Wednesday at The Lilypad, you'll find a variety of products on sale for 50% off ~ some of the products might be older releases, and some of them might be new releases. It's one day only, so don't delay in grabbing these products at a fantastic discount. My template sets for SOSN are HALF PRICE at $2.25 each!
Two Halves {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} and Two Halves 2 {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} templates feature paper circles cut in half and arranged artfully in the background, and are paired with clusters of flowers and elements to create a truly lovely spot for your amazing photographs to shine! You'll find custom shadows and dynamic shading on the photo spots so that you can make beautifully shadowed layouts quickly and easily.
MOC11: Coming Home is in full swing! There is still time to jump in and create some amazing layouts for your memory albums.

During each session, I'll be scrapping at least one layout for a MOC11 Challenge, answering your questions, and of course, with Courtney hanging out with me, we'll be chatting about anything and everything (and honestly, probably food! You'll need headphones or speakers.
