Wandering – Wishing – Waiting: Pre-DSD 2026 Blog Hop @ The Lilypad!

September 24, 2026October 4, 20261 Comment

Get ready—Digital Scrapbooking Day is right around the corner, and we’re getting the party started early!

To celebrate, the TLP designers have come together to launch a brand-new collaborative collection centered around the theme Wandering, Wishing, Waiting.

We’re kicking things off today with our Wandering Blog Hop, which you can collect entirely for free as you hop through all the designers’ blogs! As you visit each stop, you’ll gather a variety of coordinated pieces—from travel-inspired elements to rich, warm patterns—to build a gorgeous set for your memory keeping.

Here is a look at my portion of the hop (EXPIRED):

My pack features cozy chevron and arrow patterns, vintage travel elements, layered florals, and title art like “Wandering Spirit” and “Find Your Way”—perfect for documenting road trips, outdoor walks, or quiet personal journeys.

Important Dates & Details:

Blog Hop Freebie: The Wandering blog hop freebies are available from September 24 through September 30. Make sure to collect all the pieces before time runs out!

DSD Weekend Collabs: Be sure to join us during our DSD celebrations from October 2 through October 5, where you can grab Wishing (Part 1) and Waiting (Part 2) as big Free With Purchase collabs!

A Little Note on Hop Timing: We designers span the globe, which means we’re posting across many different time zones! While we do our best to launch simultaneously, technology or time differences occasionally cause a brief delay on a stop. If a link isn’t active just yet or a post seems to be sleeping in, please give that designer a little extra time and pop back over later. We appreciate your patience so much!

Messy – Beautiful – Real : Pre-NSD 2026 Blog Hop @ The Lilypad!

April 23, 2026May 1, 20261 Comment

It’s that time again… the lead-up to NSD, when things start to feel a little extra exciting around here.

Today, we’re kicking things off with a brand new blog hop built around this year’s collaborative theme: Messy, Real, Beautiful. And just like the name suggests, it’s all about embracing the imperfect, the everyday, the beautifully chaotic moments that make up real life.

The first chapter, “Messy,” is yours to explore through the blog hop. Each stop brings you a freebie piece of the collection, and when you gather them all, you’ll have a wonderfully eclectic set full of expressive elements, bold textures, and a touch of playful chaos.

Here’s my part:

Think scribbles, layers, imperfect lines, and those little details that feel a bit undone… but just right.

Remember, the freebies for Messy, Real, Beautiful | Part 1 / Messy are only available through April 29, 2026 at 11:59pm EDT.

Look for Messy, Real, Beautiful | Part 2 / Real and Messy, Real, Beautiful | Part 3 / Beautiful as Free With Purchase kits during our {inter}National Scrapbooking Day celebrations, from May 1 – May 4.

NOW EXPIRED – Thank you for your interest

NOW EXPIRED – Thank you for your interest

And this is only the beginning.

The full collaboration unfolds in three parts:

Messy – the blog hop freebies (starting now)
Beautiful – coming as a free-with-purchase during NSD weekend
Real – also free-with-purchase during NSD weekend

You’ll be able to mix and match all three to tell your stories in a way that feels honest, layered, and uniquely yours.

So for now, enjoy the hunt, collect the pieces, and don’t worry about making things perfect. Because sometimes, the mess is where the magic lives.

Note that I am a little early in order to check my blog post is working correctly but the official time will be no later than 7PM Eastern. on Wednesday 22nd. Check back again later if it’s not live yet everywhere 😉 Thank you for your patience.

You came from Kim Jensen Designs and your next stop will be at Lynne-Marie Designs (YouTube Channel)
