I only just noticed that Stacia's name is up for the tutorial but she 's doing Insta and not tuts. Is someone else doing this?

OOOOhhhhh, I just saw that from July on I only wrote "????" for the tutorials because I have only updated until May and must have left out June altogether.

I have nothing prepared that we could use as a filler in. Does anyone have anything we could use. Maybe a quickie?

edit: I updated the calendar until December now, alternating Esther and Monica starting from July.

I totally didn't notice it either until this morning Rikki. No worries everyone, we have so very little time left....if we can't come up with a quickie then we will just skip the June 1st post and focus on the task ahead.

Thank God, you are so laid back

Great, then we will just skip this month. Please, Esther and Monica, check the calendar posts until the rest of the year to see your months.

We are doing a great job with all the posts and continuity on the blog so I am not stressing or freaking out about missing one post

Hi Mirjam and Rikki,

have been flat out this week but should be able to get the inspo post done tomorrow or at least by the 7th. Hope that is ok.

That would be GREAT Karen!

Hi everyone,

Hope all is going well where ever you are! I have been super busy this year - all good things so far but it means I have been out of touch with the scrapping world a little! So I went for a nice long explore through The Lilypad's Gallery to see what the current trends are. I was pleased to see that just about everyone was doing their own thing - not much stood out as an overwhelming trend - both neutrals and colors were in full use - as are lots of flowers, cluster and paints as well as lovely minimal scrapping.

The one trend that seems to be getting a good run is messy stitching frames (yay as I am a very messy scrapper, even in digiland!) And Pink Reptile designs has so many lovely Stunning Stitches kits as well as stitches elements  in just about every kit Mirjam releases that we are spoilt for choice when it comes to making our own frames!  Changing the hue and colour of the stitches equals far more flexibilty to match your photos colour schemes. But you can't go wrong sticking to the classic black or white look either.

I love the Stunning stitches range so much! These are a couple of my favs -






Or if you want something a bit neater -


Adding these stitches to a current template can change the feel of your page and add a bit of whimsy -



Or adding stitches to a frame a group of photos means you can get away with far less elements on your page as well -



Anyway, have some fun with stitched frames, they can be a bit addictive!

Great post Karen!!!

Summer is almost here, and I wanted to decorate my flowers and my balcony.



I decided to decorate rocks. I love painting rocks and hide them in the nature, like a Treasure hunt.



For my creations, I printed elements from Morphological.


I cut them and I glued several elements on the rock with a classic glue.






To finish, I decorated the rock with a white pen (posca)



I created two other rocks with butterfly (Morphological|elements)











I put the stones in my flower pots. I really like the result !

That is SO cute and totally the rage here in the Netherlands! Love this Géraldine!

Thanks Mirjam !
I didn't know that this game was an international game, it's so fun !!!

29.06. Pretty pages

Hello, scrappers! Browsing the PRD gallery at The Lilypad is so fun! I love seeing beauty created by the talented scrappers of our community; today I'm highlighting three pages that stood out for me in the gallery.

My first choice is Life Is Beautiful by mom2jackaia. How awesome is this background paper! I love it when scrappers aren't afraid to use a statement paper, and layer some beautiful PRD elements on it.


Second, we have Be happy by angels. I love how she mixed four different element packs to make this awesome page! The cluster, the shadows and the scattered elements are just perfect.


My last choice is Prd_June2021_rak by sharonb. I love the mixed media feel of this boyish page. The use of the white space is amazing and the clusters are so fun.


That's it for this month. Keep scrapping and sharing your pages in the Pink Reptile Designs Gallery for a chance to get featured on the blog!
