Do you have lots of photos to scrap after summer?
I created this template album to scrap what we still call the 'summer of the cicadas'. Every 13 or 17 years is a 'brood year' for cicadas when many more than usual hatch. It was very, very noisy but Daughter-Two found them fascinating.
Plus I have two kits half price to add to your stash:
I'll leave you with some fun inspiration from the Pollys and the team:

Once upon a time, what feels like a lifetime ago, we lived in Australia.
And so I had to create an Australian themed kit to scrap the photos of eldest, who moved there as a tiny baby and grew up with Bananas in Pyjamas, the Wiggles, Big Ted and Playschool presenters singing "Give me a home among the gumtrees ..."
We lived in a Canberra suburb surrounded by gumtrees - one of which crashed down in a storm and comprehensively destroyed the neighbour's car. I've never trusted them since ...
And, strewth, look at these fab pages from the team and the Polly's:

Look at those two cuties in the Santa Monica sun - I love these photos.
And a set of my own favourite and most-used templates are half price today:
Plus another fun little back to school kit for your stash NEW to The Lilypad:
AND my weather related brushes!
Chose the Storm Warning for personal use (they have both the clean and the 'upstyled' versions) and the Meteorological for commercial use (the clean versions only)

I have been experimenting with screen recording my process for scrapping travel photobooks and you can watch me scrap this soft and pretty travel page using the new Messy Pockets Noted templates
Check out my brand new YouTube channel here - you may want to chose HD from the cogwheel settings and turn up the volume (I was speaking a bit quietly!). Any ideas for future videos or tips are welcome :-)
And don't forget everything is on sale this weekend, including these new designs :-)

For my birthday treat at the start of this year we had two days in Barcelona. We could have driven there and back in a (long) day but splashed out on a night in a hotel.
Unfortunately (though somewhat predictably) I was sick. It says a lot for the city that despite that I came away saying 'wow! I think we have found somewhere we love even more than Paris'.
It was very sad to wake up this morning to news of an attack in the city.
I have just finished creating the photobook pages of our two days there and was planning to share and celebrate the city this morning - which I am still doing but now with a heavy heart.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The template set I created to scrap the trip is in store now and, along with everything else in store, is 30% off for the quarterly sale
Plus another set of Worn Page Edges for both personal and Commercial (CU) use:
And if you are looking for a summer kit with a cool, windswept feel, my Bristol kit is now at The Lilypad as well:
Two days in Barcelona:
I love this city ...
I love these pages by Katell and Marnel using the templates too:
I'll leave you with my pages from the Bristol Kit, and some fabulous inspiration from the Pollys and the team

School starts at the beginning of the calendar year here in New Zealand, which seems to make a lot more sense to be honest. So we are not staring down at the start of the school year, but are already half way through it.
But in honour of the US and European calendar, I have a special school-themed set of designs half price today
Here's Daughter-Two with a ribbon from success in the school sports. For someone who hates (and, to be frank, is usually hopeless at) sport she looks very thrilled (and more than a little surprised)
The Going to be Good Kit works well for non-school layouts too:
And the brushes are lots of fun:
Before I go, here's just a few of the fabulous layouts the team and the Pollys have created:

Hmm, that doesn't look much like Venice Beach, CA, does it?
(That's DH chasing Daughter-Two in the estuary at the beach he spent a lot of time at as a kid, because his aunt and uncle had a holiday cottage there. The beach itself is too wild to swim in, but they had a lot of fun in the rather muddy estuary during a 'last chance' visit just before the cottage was finally being sold)
Here's this week's kit, new to The Lilypad:
Plus, there's a set of border pngs/brushes that are fine for both personal AND commercial use:
I used them here with Bristol Kit, which is coming to The Lilypad NEXT week
I'll leave you with some fun inspiration from the team and the Pollys:
~ Happy scrapping

I love mid-century design and especially the tropical-botanical style that inspired the Marina del Rey Kit:
