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)

More than one year that I haven’t come here but I am glad I kept this blog on so that I can post this kind of things for you to enjoy!

It’s that time of the year again and I tried to make a little something even though I am in design limbo and have very little time at the moment because of a big interpreting job… which is, by the way, very interesting and sometimes even very fun but also very exhausting.

Anyway, I hope you will find use for those little metal bits and you will come at The Digital Press forum to share your layouts!

There’s only the new year that can make me come here and try to revive this long abandoned blog, right? lol Not sure I can make a new resolution about reviving this blog but I can try to keep on posting when time allows it, can I?. It’s my space after all, right? So I can do what ever I want with it… lol (she tries to convince herself… lol)

I hope this year of the boar (in Japan, but year of the pig in China if I remember right) brings you many joys and successes.
