New! Capricious 2! Black Friday Deals and More!

Hope all of you in the US have had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a lovely cozy day with hubby and the kids playing lots of games and (of course) eating! ;)

Lots of fabulous deals at The Lilypad for Black Friday weekend! What have I contributed to all this shopping madness? First up, I have some fun new releases to share with you today. And they are a whopping 30% off through Monday!

Way back in June I released the whimsically fun Capricious Elements, Papers, and Alphas for the BYOC. I had lots of requests for "boy" versions to go along with the girls in the packs, but, of course, I couldn't just leave it at that. So a mere (ahem) 7 months later I have two brand new coordinating packs - Capricious Papers 2 and Capricious Elements 2! And, if you missed the original packs and would like to grab them all, I've put all five in the special discount-priced Capricious Bundle to help you save even more!

Capricious Papers 2 includes 12 whimsical doodley patterns to help you scrap whatever strikes your fancy!

Capricious Elements 2 is a wonderful collection of quirky embellishments for your pages! 64 pieces in all!

The Capricious Bundle includes the Capricious Alphas, Capricious Elements, Capricious Elements 2, Capricious Papers, and Capricious Papers 2 at a terrific Bundle discount! AND I've included the bundle in the sale, which means you save EVEN MORE!

I finished these new packs pretty last-minute, but a few of my amazing CT managed to squeeze in a little fabulous scrapping inspiration for you...

In addition to the new releases, I have the following items in the Black Friday Specials! Deeply discounted Friday Only!

And don't forget to come back on Monday for these awesome Cyber Monday Specials!!!

But wait! That's not all! ;) There's also a beautiful Free "Northern Lights" collab with a $15 Purchase!

To recap... New Releases 30% off through Monday, Black Friday Specials, Cyber Monday Specials, and Free collab with $15 purchase!! Wow! Happy Black Friday!! :)

Journaling: Kaylee, all ready to catch the bus for the first day of 6th grade. This was the first time Matthew decided not to get up extra early to take pics with her and see her off. We scrambled to get ready in time (hence the damp hair), but it turned out that the bus was 20 minutes late, so we could have taken our time.

The Key to Happiness is Home! FWP!

I'm so excited to be bringing my Scrap Stacks sponsor kit home to The Lilypad! The Key to Happiness was inspired by a little tub of keys that belonged to my dad. They were from his 20+ years of managing a small department store, and just looking at his handwriting and the logos on all the tags and envelopes as I dug through them all brought back a lot of wonderful memories of the time I spent with him there. :)  

The Key to Happiness Papers and Elements are available separately, or you can buy the Full Kit and save! Also available is a fun coordinating Date pack! And this weekend only it's free with the purchase of any of the other Key to Happiness packs – all of which are 20% off all weekend!

The Key to Happiness Papers includes 10 beautifully textured solids and 16 patterns ranging from classic designs to unique key inspired motifs.

The Key to Happiness Elements has a wonderful assortment of unique versatile elements and a full alpha.  187 pieces in all!

The Key to Happiness Dates includes numbers 1-31, years 2011-2015, and months as shown. And it's free with qualifying purchase this weekend only!

Some happy inspiration from my team and the Pollywogs. :)

Hurry over now and get The Key to Happiness (and The Key to Happiness Dates) before this sale hops away! :)
