Just Add Water & Soap Bubbles


In June 2010 I was invited to guest at The Lily Pad. Now, two years later, I am so excited to return as a guest designer for the month of June! The Lily Pad is packed full of amazing designers, and I feel so honored to be a guest on their talented team this month!

Every month, The Lily Pad holds a the BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) event. The designers create elements, papers, alphas and lots of other goodies all based on the same swatch. You can pick and choose the items that you want to build your own kit!

I have three items in the BYOC this month! Just Add Water Elements, Just Add Water Papers and Soap Bubbles. My kids love blowing soap bubbles, playing in sprinklers, swimming, water fights and wading pools. I think these products will be perfect for scrapping those cute summertime photos! I have a coupon for you to take an additional 15% off your purchase price this weekend only! Coupon Code: KA_BYOC15

**Edited** Just Add Water is now available as a full kit only HERE at After Five Designs.

I chose two random winners for the Just Add Water papers and Elements. I was super surprised to see that there were 199 comments! Wow!! For some unknown reason, the numbers have disappeared from my comments, so I just had my 4 year old choose the winners. So, congratulations to hsmema (May 30, 2012 6:39 PM) and Sophie (May 30, 2012 9:02 PM).  Please email me at kristin.aagard@gmail.com and I will send you the info you need to pick up the Just Add Water products.


One of the things that I enjoy designing the most is alphas. I created a Just Add Water Alpha, and I decided to offer it to you as a gift. I hope you enjoy it! Make sure to pick it up now, because it will be available free for a limited time only.

**Edited** Sorry, but this item is no longer available as a freebie. It is now part of the kit and available HERE at After Five Designs.

I have another freebie for Facebook users! It’s a Facebook timeline cover quick page created using Just Add Water and Soap Bubbles. You can pick it up HERE on my Facebook page.

I have a second new kit out today as well!! This kit is inspired by my daughter who is in a phase (I really hope it’s just a phase) where she sticks out her tongue, rolls her eyes or makes some sort of silly face in every photo. Neener Neener is a bright, happy, silly and fun mini that includes 5 papers, 10 unique elements and a bonus 12 piece word art pack. You can pick up Neener Neener HERE in my A5D store. The best part is, that Neener Neener is FREE with your $5 purchase in my shoppe during the iNSD sale!!!
