Lily Bee Finds

Friday Faves 8/28 edition!

Hey Lily Bee fans! Hope you are having a fabulous Friday.
Just a quick note before I share this week's batch of Friday Faves.

Lily Bee is now officially on Twitter. Follow us HERE for a chance to win a RAK!

Now on with the eye candy. This week's faves all come from one source:
The My Scrapbook Nook Gallery. I was blown away by what I found there!

First is this eye-poppingly beautiful layout by Ching Tan. Everything about this is breathtaking and the layering is simply awesome. I think that my favorite thing, though, is the way that she cut that green paper from our Three Little Birds collection. Beautifully done, Ching.



Next we have this creative layout by Camilla Ekman. I adore the way she cut the papers to make a circle, and her color combinations are rich and delectable. Thanks so much for showcasing our papers so beautifully, Camilla!




I've been a fan of Stacey Michaud for quite some time. Everything she makes is just stunning, and this layout is no exception. I adore the die cut peeking out, and those patterned paper trees? beee-yoo-tiful! Thanks for making Lily Bee look so good, Stacey!




And last we have this pretty confection by Jen Pohl. I have a tough time making cards and this makes me long to make one right this very moment!! Thanks for sharing your card, Jen...it makes me all kinds of happy!




Remember to follow us on Twitter and keep sending us those Lily Bee links!

And I may be known for spilling the beans, but i'm NOT this time. I will tell you that September holds amazing things for Lily Bee, including the introduction of our new monthly contests, and something else HUGE!

Happy Friday,
Bee Happy!

Our Very First Guest Designer

Lily Bee wants to welcome the fabulous Virginia Tillery to our blog!



You may recall that Virginia won our "Just Bee Me" mini album contest a while back.
Since she won, we have the pleasure of welcoming her as our very first guest designer. YAY!

We asked Virginia our favorite questions and here is what she had to say:


Must Have Scrapbook Supply? Patterned paper. I'm a paper junkie!

When & Why did you start scrapbooking? I started unofficially back in high school, but really got into it around the time I got married, 9 years ago. I went to a home party and was hooked right away. Give me paper and anything resembling office supplies and you've got me hook, line, and sinker!

Guilty Pleasures... reality (and I use that term loosely!) tv; a bubble bath with a magazine

Two things you want very badly at this moment? to give birth to this baby (I'm 34 weeks along!) and a Route 44 Cherry Limeade from Sonic

3 items that are in your purse.. my 4 year old daughter's notebook, my handmade planner, and a book about raising girls.

Favorite Scrapbook Technique or Style? I love anything distressed or layered.

When do you feel most creative? Late at night when the house is quiet and clean... maybe a little thunderstorm in the background and a few candles lit.

Do you snack while you scrapbook? If so what? Rarely, but I have to have my Diet Dr. Pepper by my side!

Do you have a scrapbook confession? I tend to save (and use) every scrap I can from my patterned papers. My trash can rarely has scraps in it!

Favorite Tv Shows? Big Brother, Survivor, the Bachelorette/Bachelor, Psych, the Office, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model and rockin' it old school style, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Hey, I never claimed to have good taste! hee!)

Jobs you've had? Church secretary, Lifeguard, Camp Counselor, Pre-K teacher, and the best one of all, Mommy.

What are you listening to right now? My 4 year old and 3 year old playing in a tent in the living room.

Favorite thing about working with Lily Bee Design? I love that their papers have a good mix of bold colors with vintage influence. That is PERFECT for my style! Their rub ons pretty much rock the casbah!!


And now on to the realllllly good part...here are Virginia's gorgeous creations!!









Virginia, thank you SO much for sharing your amazing work with us this month. Your projects are a joy to see!

Friday Faves!!!

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing two Lily Bee layouts that caught my eye this week.


First up is a layout by Laradee for Your Scrapbook Stash. Her use of texture is awesome. I also adore the way she made flowers from our paper. This is just a happy, creative layout. So happy I stumbled across it.




Then we have this gem by the fantastic Nicole Samuels.
I am in LOVE with the way she used our rub-ons as a sheet. I've got to try this. Just incredible, Nicole. One of my absolute favorite layouts.




That's it for today! As always, link us up to your favorite LB creations.
Happy Friday!!

some love for Vintage Poppy & Audrey.

just showing some love for both of the new lines here...

i am officially declaring my love for the teal/orange combo in Vintage Poppy. honestly, i think i could just stare at these papers all day, lol. the rub-ons used on the photo from the 12x12 Laugh set were perfect for this one...used the Audrey line here and again, the colors are so rich that they are elegant and fun all at the same time.

looking forward to seeing LOTS of layouts with these new lines!!

have a great week!!

=)

Friday ' s Favorites

I loved how *larialbernaz* from A Million Memories used our damask paper and created a multi-picture layout.

Created by briarrose86304 from A Million Memories. I loved the clean lines and the die-cut she created out of our paper.

I found this from MichelleGA over at Two Peas...again loved how she created a clean crisp page of her daughter's birthday.


Wow, so many layouts popping up everywhere with Lily Bee! I love seeing what ladies are creating with our products. Here are a few favorites that I found:

Welcome...LEAH KILLIAN

I want to introduce you to our newest Design Team Member...LEAH KILLIAN! I LOVE her work and am so, so happy she will join us here at Lily Bee Design.

A Little Audrey

This layout was done using the new Lily Bee Design Audrey line. I love this line because it's so versatile. It's so great for boys (and most certainly girls) with it's rich blacks, reds, blues and golds. For those of us with boys that struggle to find great paper, this is it. I can't wait to use this line for karate, pumpkin picking, school, lego play, train play, and much more...

Here my guys are cracking up with our photographer, Pascale Wowak. She always manages to catch their real personalities, which I love. I knew I wanted to do a layout about their close relationship. It is my great hope that they can always be this close and always be able to get each other howling with laughter with very little effort.



I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
