The Lilypad - May2020 challenges

Here are the layouts I've created this month for some of the various challenges at The Lilypad.

These first lot are all for the various individual designer challenges:

Sahlin Studio

Kim Jensen

Scrapping With Liz

Elif Sahin

and this one is for the monthly challenges:

Template

I haven't done a lot of these challenges this month but am happy with the few I did get done. I need to priortise each month and figure out which ones are doable with the stash I have on hand. I am trying very hard not to keep buying more kits, especially as our exchange rate is so bad!

AppScrappers - May2020 challenges

The AppScrappers facebook group has been running weekly challenges (just for fun!) throughout the month and I've done a lot of them... some in conjunction with other sites.

Sketch - 8 May

This page above got scraplifted by one of the designer's at The Digital Press... wow was I ever surprised and so excited to see it. You can read her comments about my page on her blog.

Scrapbook Telephone - 9 May

Sketch - 15 May

Scrapbook Telephone - 17 May

I also did these next two layouts which I will use for challenges at Gingerscraps:

Scraplift - 19 May

Sketch - 22 May

Scraplift - 26 May

It's been a fun creative month doing challenges with AppScrappers. Why not come play along too.

Dunia Designs - new templates

There are new templates available today by Dunia Designs in the shop at The Digital Press. These are so clean and simple that I just had to play with them.

First up is my CT layout that I made using the TheseDays kit which came out a few weeks back.

 

I also created this layout below using a different template in the set with the SweetSummer kit. I decided not to share it as a CT layout as it has tiny baby pics in it. This is just for my own pleasure and memories.

Check out the templates in the shop.

The Digital Press - May2020 challenges

The crossword section at The Digital Press is a lovely place to find challenges to complete. Each designer holds their own challenge with prizes. I've managed to put together a few this month again.

1. Nini Goes Digital - Template Challenge. I used NGD_BehindTheWheel and TDP_NewNormal kits

2. Gone Digital Designs - Template Challenge - I used GDD_FlippingPancakes kit

3. Rachel Etrog - Template challenge. I used RE_FebStories kit

4. Dawn by Design - use two alphas

Unbeknownst to me I discovered that the kit I used for the above page was designed by a different designer from another site (opps!), so I've made another layout for this challenge to meet the requirements.

This new layout now used the dbd_Enough kit with alphas from dbd_Tranquility, dbd_HappyDays and dbd_Enough

Will be fun to see what challenges come next month again.

Rachel Etrog & Dunia Designs - Sweet Summer Collab

One of the benefits of being on a design team is getting free product... how much of a bonus it is when two of the teams I'm on collaborate on a kit and I get to design pages for both of them at the same time.

The kit is available all weekend at a special bundle price. Check out The Digital Press for more info.

Edited: This layout was chosen as a gallery standout

Rachel Etrog - May Stories Kit

It's reveal day again at the Digital Press and Rachel Etrog has a new collection on sale called May Stories.

These photos are from my Mother's Day breakfast in bed on Sunday... sooooooooo lovely to be spoilt by my boy.

Weekend scrapping

I did a few layouts this past weekend just for fun... or rather for fun challenges at AppScrappers on facebook.

This one was for telephone scrapping... I used GoneDigital Designs HomeSchool kit.

This one is based on a sketch challenge. For this I used the NewNormal collab from The Digital Press

It was fun to do quick challenges just for the heck of it.

Dunia Designs - This Is May kit

There is a new kit available for Dunia Designs at The Digital Press today. I used it to make a layout about Mother's Day a few years back... perfect timing for Mother's Day this year, except it will be very different seeing as we are in level 4 lockdown.

So head over to the shop and get your own copy of this gorgeous kit.

GDD Homeschool Kit

GoneDigital Designs has the most gorgeous kit out today... I am sooooooo thankful I get to scrap for this team... I simply love the bright colours.

I started my layout for the slow scrap on Sunday, and then realised I couldn't use it as the kit wasn't yet released, but as I had done most of the work already I kept at it... so here is my layout combining that challenge and this awesome new kit.

Check out the collection at The Digital Press shop and get your hands on it whilst it's on sale.

iNSD at Gingerscraps

Another post about {inter}National Scrapbooking Day... I did say I had done lots of challenges (hehehe). There were about 13 challenges at Gingerscraps for iNSD but I ran out of a time tring to get to do them all... only managed to do a few in the end.

This first one is actually for a facebook sketch challenge from The Cherry on Top facebook group and not part of the official Gingerscraps challenges... but as I used a kit from them I thought I'd share it here too.

And so on to the challenges that were for Gingerscraps:

Mini kit / White Space

Photomask

Dress a Template

Template with a Twist

All these are due by 5am on Friday our time (midnight in USA) but I.m running out of steam so will call this done.
