Lily Bee Finds

Cards on Wednesday | Tag Your it!

This week we are changing things up a bit on the blog - we all started off this week's projects with the same sketch and each day we are challenged with a new twist!

Here is the sketch that we are using for this week:

Since today is Wednesday - it's our card day ! I decided to whip up a few cards, using the sketch in 2 different ways - PLUS, I was challenged by Heather to use something HARD & something SOFT on my cards!

For my first card, I used the base patterns on the sketch and copied it onto my card. I used the diagnal shape and went from there:

 

 Supplies: We R Family (Tiny Tablet, Washi Tape); Urban Autumn (Daily Deck, Metal Badges); Destination (Letter Stickers)

I used a Metal Badge from the new Urban Autumn collection as my hard item and then some metallic thread as my soft item, circling over top the diecut snowflake: 

 

I used the gold dot washi tape (LOVE IT) over and over in rows to create a patterned paper type design on the card, and then covered the edges with pieces of patterned paper.

 

 For my next card, I kept it quite simple, cutting some simple pennant shapes from patterned paper and adding a stamped sentiment and some punched snowflakes.

 

 Supplies: We R Family (Tiny Tablet); Pinwheel (Embellishment Bundle); Urban Autumn (Washi Tape, Daily Deck); Christmas Cheer Chowder (Clear Stamps)

 For my hard item, I used some staples and my soft item this time was some baker's twine from the Pinwheel embellishment bundle!

Thanks for joining me today - up next will be Leslie - and I challenge her to use a COOL TECHNIQUE on her project!! (I know she will rock that right??)

Come back on Friday when Leslie will amaze us all !  :)

Hey Lily Bee fans! It's that time of the month again, where we offer up a free cut file for our fans to use with their Lily Bee products.

I created this pack, in the spirit of this week's theme - Write it down.

There are lots of fun possibilities with this pack - you can resize and use as you would like, that file folder is perfect for journaling, hidden or not!

Here is the page I came up with, using this pack:

In the spirit of our theme WRITE IT DOWN, I chose to use the fabulous mini ABC stickers that Lily Bee is known for. I combined letter stickers from a few collections, old and new to complete my journaling.

I also used some Lily Bee stamps and stickers to write some items down about my daughter, and put them in the punched out circles.

Challenge on Tuesday | Sketch challenge

Welcome back Lily Bee fans! Can you believe it is October already!!!

We were going to post this on Tuesday - but decided to post our new collections instead ! How did you like them!! If you haven't seen the post yet - stop by HERE because you could WIN them! You don't want to miss out on that :)

 A new month means a new sketch and I am back again today, to share this month's sketch challenge!

It's also "white space" week here on the blog, and so that has been incorporated into this month's sketch. Here is the sketch for this month's challenge:

and here is my project using the sketch:

I used the Port paper as inspiration for this project. I just love the polaroid frame background and knew I wanted to make it part of my design. I cut 2"x2" squares and layered them over the base paper and then stitched them down:

Next, I created my layered grouping under my photo, with some Index Journaling Cards and different types of stickers:

I finished off my page with some of the great letter stickers in the Pinwheel line. I love how the larger font mix well with the smaller letters!

Challenge on Tuesday | Sketch

Hello Lily Bee fans! This month, we partnered up with Becky Fleck from PageMaps!

Today, Christine and I are here to share some fun takes on a sketch, with a sketch provided by Becky Fleck from Pagemaps!

Here is the sketch we used:

 

Take a look at what Christine created, with lots of fun details from the Sweet Shoppe collection:

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe Collection (Lemon Drop paper, Pink Mint paper, Cotton Candy paper, Marshmellow paper, Letter Stickers, Label Stickers, Embellishment Bundle, Chit Chat Stickers, Circle & Tag Stickers)

Christine had this to share about her page:

I love the sketch and the idea of the library card. But I wanted to use one photo, so I condensed everything horizontally, instead of having my layout stretch all the way across the 12x12 paper. I love the idea of a
center row of photos, journal card, and other rectangular elements/cutouts.

I love how Christine's title pops, even though she used the smaller letter stickers!

For my page, I used mainly the new Destination collection for my page:

 

Supplies: Destination (6x6 paper pad, Interstate paper, Label stickers, Letter stickers, Chipboard Embellishment stickers, Circle & Tag sticker, Chit Chat Stickers, Embellishment Bundle); Autumn Spice (Index journaling cards, Clear Stamps)

Instead of adding a title in the middle of the photos, I added an additional photo and an embellishment cluster with lots of stickers and badge from the Embellishment bundle.

Hope you are inspired by these projects - when you are looking for some scrappy mojo - grab a sketch from PageMaps and get to work! It makes getting creative really easy :)

Thanks again to Becky Fleck from PageMaps for providing us with inspirational sketches this month!

Focus On: Summer Solstice

Happy Monday, everyone!  Cindy and I are here to start your week off right with lots of inspiration based on this week's theme, "Summer Solstice".  We decided to focus on our favorite summer activities and traditions. 

 

First up is Cindy with her amazing layout documenting her family's favorite summer tradition...

 

Cindy says, "Spending time at the beach, running through the sprinkler in the backyard, and just plain grilling are just a few of my favorite summertime memories.  Though, celebrating the Fourth of July with my family is probably the most favorite and setting off fireworks is probably been our family tradition since the beginning.  We spend several hours outside counting down the clock and awaiting the sunset so we can begin our fun.  I get a kick out of my kids excitement as they watch the fireworks explode.  Their reaction is comical, nervous, and full of joy.  Sadness always weighs in once all the fireworks are done, but then we get to sit on our front porch and watch the professionals shoot off fireworks into the sky in our neighborhood.  A perfect ending to a wonderful summer day celebrating our freedom." 

 

Supplies Used:  Destination (Postcard, Chipboard Stickers, Label Stickers, Letter Stickers), Pinwheel (Circle & Tag Stickers, Chit Chat Stickers, Embellishment Bundle), Sweet Shoppe (Embellishment Bundle, Chit Chat Stickers), Persnickety (Finicky & Clear Stamps), Christmas Cheer (Index Journaling Card), Memorandum (Index Journaling Card)

My family and I have so many favorite summertime activities that it was hard for me to choose just one, so I decided to include multiple photos of different summer activities that we enjoy...

I knew that I wanted a bold background, so I decided to use my Silhouette and cut out a large sunburst. I backed each ray with different pieces of patterned paper from the Pinwheel and Sweet Shoppe Collections.  I included photos of us enjoying random summer activities such as playing on the beach, hanging out with friends at the park, and just being outside on a warm, sunny day.  

 

Supplies Used:  Sweet Shoppe (JuJu Bee, Candy Stick, Label Stickers, Chit Chat Stickers), PInwheel (Sprinklers, Flip-Flops, Flower Box, 6x6 Tiny Tablet, Letter Stickers)

What some are your favorite summer traditions and activities?  Be sure to check back here throughout the rest of the week for even more summertime inspiration from our talented design team!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! 

 

Tutorial Friday | Framed Dry Erase Board

Well, hello there! Cindy here with a simple tutorial showing you how to convert a large size picture frame into a functional dry erase board.

And by all means, this idea isn't anything new, but kinda new to me. During a four day crop I attended last week, one of my friends showed us how to convert a 5x7 frame into a dry erase board, which was inspired by many ideas on Pinterest. During one of our shopping trips, we hit up Hobby Lobby and I couldn't resist their 50% off deal on all their frames. I love the design and color of the frame, which can easily be spray painted.

Supplies: Pinwheel (Jump Rope & Lemonade Stand, Embellishment Bundle), Christmas Cheer (ABC Stickers)

To begin, remove the glass from the frame and wipe it clean with vinegar & water or plain a spritz of windex, set aside to dry.

Use the insert backing as your foundation and add your pattern paper using a little adhesive to keep it secure. I added a strip of quote bubbles to the bottom of my pattern background embellished a few of them with abc cardstock stickers.

You can easily leave the entire frame bare, but I added an 11x5 inch piece of cork board.

Place the covered insert into the frame and push in tabs to secure into place.

Instead of using the foam squares that came with the package of cork board, I used my hot glue gun. Generously cover the back of cork board and adhere to the outside of the frame.

Add velcro to bottom of frame and dry erase pen and attach.

Make sure the cork is at least the same depth as the frame, so it's flush with the frames edge. Gives it a clean and smooth look without looking too bulky.

Voila! I now have a nice dry erase board hanging in my kitchen I can use to jot down items I need to pick up at the market on a weekly basis. I also use the cork board section to hold coupons, which helps having them out in the open rather inside a container or my purse. Because I am always letting them expire or forget I have them, like I did my $10 Kohl's cash that expired on the 14th.

I added layers of paper flowers and adorned with a large embellishment button and used glue dots to adhere it to the frame. I kept this simple so I can change it up whenever the mood strikes. Plus, it would be fun to change it for every season or holiday.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my project. Hope it inspires you to create something functional to display in your home.

Outside your window | Challenge

Good morning Lily Bee fans!! Becky Williams and I are here today to share with you a little challenge. This week on the Lily Bee blog, we are exploring what is outside the window! 

We were challenged to scrap 4 photos about "things" out our window - and no PEOPLE !

For a lot of people, the spring weather has not been co-operating.... Becky shares this pretty page today:

Supplies: Pinwheel (Sprinklers, Flower Box, Flip Flops, Picnic Basket, Cartwheels, Cherry Blossom, Chit Chat Stickers, Embellishment Bundle), Destination (Port, Bon Voyage, Souvenir), Christmas Cheer (Index Journaling Cards), Persnickety (Index Journaling Cards, 6x6 Tiny Tablet). 

Becky shares this with us:

We'd been enjoying kind of a crazy Spring so far but loved the warmer weather until it decided to snow! Yep, snow in Texas in April. I'd just taken pictures of the flowers in our yard, signs of Spring, and then we got the snow- thankfully the flowers survived. I mostly take pictures of my family so this challenge was a nice change of pace for me and helped me to take a closer look at the beautiful things around me, even in the snow. 

I love how Becky has layered stickers and her fussy cut paper pieces!

Take a look at those pretty butterflies too! Makes me hopeful for spring for sure!

Well, up here in Canada, the weather is bad. In fact, as I type this, there is snow falling again. Truth be told, the only thing you would see out my window today is snow! So, I pulled out some photos from last summer for this challenge:

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Patterned Paper - Lemon Drop, 6x6 paper pad), Pinwheel (Patterned Paper - Kite Strings, 6x6 Paper Pad, Chipboard Stickers), Autumn Spice (Clear Stamps), Persnickety (Journal Cards)

Although I scrapped about summer, I used a lot of fun, spring color from both the Pinwheel and Sweet Shoppe collections. The Lemon Drop paper is perfect for large sunbeams, which I detailed with some gold metallic thread:

The Pinwheel collection has a lot of great colors in it for spring - and those hexagon piechart shapes are perfect!

You can see that the chipboard embellishments add just the right amount of texture to your page ! I love the florals in the Pinwheel collection.

How will you interpret this challenge???? Do you have some ideas flowing already? Well, share them with us and We'll pick one winner from all our challenge entries this month to win a Lily Bee prize package.

Here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Your layout must use at 60% Lily Bee products.

Focus On | Negative Space

Hi everyone, it's Diane here to introduce a new theme for the week that I know you are going to love...using negative space. Basically, negative space is the space which surrounds an object in an image. It is often used to frame an object. For my layout, I used negative space in the form of a banner to frame my photo.

I cut out the banner using my Cameo and popped it up off the background page to add more dimension. Next, I layered small flowers, butterflies, pinked circles and small banner pieces between the two layers and on the top layer.

The simple banner across the page left me with lots of white space for adding my title and some finishing touches. I used the space at the top for clouds and butterflies and the bottom left corner for my title.

Supplies: Pinwheel Collection (Sprinklers - PWP307, Flip Flops - PWP311, Cart Wheels - PWP312) Christmas Cheer Collection (Figgy Pudding - CCP271) Double Dutch Collection (Key Lime Pie - DDP177, Croquet - DDP178, Mixed Cardstock Sticker - DDS184) Memorandum Collection (9 to 5 - MEP128, Office Blue - MEP176, Lemon - MEP177, ABC Stickers - MES135) Happily Lost Collection (Amazing Views - HLP0085, Hammock - HLP0087, Stroll - HEP0089, Sun Soaked - HLP0090)

Thank you for coming by the blog today. Make sure to check back each day this week for even more inspiration using negative space.

Focus On: Inspired by...

Hello everyone! Diane here, to welcome you to a new Focus on Monday! This week we will be focusing on things that we are inspired by!

One of my favorite places to find inspiration is on Pinterest! It is full of color combinations, patterns, graphics, design, and quotes that inspire me in everyday life, but even more in my scrapbooking. 

For today's post I decided to create a layout based on this poster I had pinned. 

::Image Source::

I was drawn to the clean graphic design, white space and enlarged photo in this poster. Here is how it inspired me.

I stuck with the design pretty closely. I moved the banner at the top, to the left, I replaced the flags with cut out speech bubbles from the new Pinwheel Collection and moved the element at the bottom center to the left for my title.

Supplies: Pinwheel Collection (Flip Flops-PWP311, Sprinklers-PWP307), Christmas Cheer Collection (Mrs. Claus-CCP274,Figgy Puddy-CCP271), Double Dutch Collection (Key LIme Pie-DDP117, Croquet-DDP178), Memorandum Collection (Grapefruit-MEP175, Memorandum Index Journaling Cards-MEJ138), Happily Lost Collection (Sun Soaked-HLP0090)

Using things created by a graphic expert is one of my favorite things to do when creating a layout. It gives me a solid design to start with and allows me to focus on the fun stuff...papers, embellishments and my story.

Where do you look for inspiration? Take a look around, inspiration is everywhere...your home, in stores and online. What are you inspired by today?

Check back in each day this week to see more inspiration projects.

Shadow Box Frame

Hello there.  It's Ursula here today to show you a little shadow box frame project I created to highlight a photo I just love of my husband and I. We danced together at our daughter's wedding 2 years ago. Somehow, I missed this photo before. I love the look on my husband's face as I whispered in his ear. I can't recall now what I may have told him, but I do know that I had to do something special with it. 

I really feel like the image expresses how we feel about each other, even after 21 years together.

The look I wanted to create was reminiscent of a graduated hall.  I saw this photo that inspired me to try to accomplish the layered look I ended up with.  In order to acheive it, I had to cut larger and larger windows in full sheets of paper.  I then backed each sheet with long strips of dimensional foam tape to lift each layer from the next.

While relatively simple, it did take a bit of time to get all of the sizes correct but I love the finished result.

I added some wood veneer pieces to incorporate different textures.  I also did one round of the layers using a shiny 'subway' patterned tape I have to create added texture. Silhouette helped me create a beautiful and classic title.

Lily Bee Supplies used ( This & That : Patterned Paper, Buttercup: Patterned Paper, Victoria Park: Patterned Paper, Christmas Cheer: Patterned Paper, Autumn Spice: ABC Cardstock Stickers)

The end result produces a page that could never be used in an album as it's quite thick (at least 1/2 inch, but it is perfect for a shadow box.

So what have you altered lately.  Make sure you show us your most recent Lily Bee projects on our Facebook page or in our Flickr gallery.  We love all the inspiration you provide!

Thursday Free for All - Love

Good morning! Nicole here today to share with you a page all about Love on this Valentine's Day!

I really wanted to use a lot of my old Lily Bee favorite papers, along with some of my new favorites to create this page of my daughter:

 Supplies used:Sw eet Shoppe (6x6 tiny tablet, Chipboard stickers); Destination (6x6 tiny tablet); Persnickety (6x6 tiny tablet, Fussy, journal cards); Autumn Spice (6x6 tiny tablet, Nutmeg, clear stamps); Christmas Cheer (6x6 tiny tablet, ABC mini stickers); Pinwheel (Chipboard stickers); Handmade (Patchwork)

I used the deep woodgrain paper from the Autumn Spice collection as my background, along with a scrap of my Handmade collection. I then cut a few fun circle shapes with my Cameo and backed them with some cute patterns from the Sweet Shoppe, Destination 6x6 tiny tablets:

The bokeh papers in the Sweet Shoppe collection are some of my new faves!!!

I added in a paper from the Christmas Cheer collection by punching out the numbers and leaving the negative space behind and layered some scraps of my favorite papers in behind them:

I  hope you like some of my new favorites along some old ones too!

If you LOVE the Cameo cuts I made for this page - you can download there HERE for free!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

xoxo

 

 

Handmade Love

Hi all!  Andrea and I will be sharing some cards with you that are sure to brighten the day of someone you love!  

First, these adorable creations by Andrea.  I am consistently blown away with her one of a kind ideas and designs.  Get ready to swoon!

Let's look at each one!  I love the unique shape and the stunning banner on this uber cute card!

Supplies:  Persnickety (clear stamps, Huffy - paper, ABC cardstock stickers), Double Dutch (bags of bits), Autumn Spice (Brown Sugar - paper, clear stamps)

Andrea says: Valentine's Day, in our house, is all about the handmade. These cards are handmade from the hand cut shaped card to the embellishments that top them. To create a shaped card, begin with a folded piece of cardstock.  Draw or begin cutting the shape you want to create, making sure that you leave part of the folded edge intact.  Cut paper/cardstock for the front of the card and stamp, embellish and build your card in your creative way. 

Here is a second card that is sure to bring cheer to anyone! 

Supplies: Persnickety (Huffy - paper, Picky - paper, Snooty - paper, ABC cardstock stickers), Victoria Park (Raspberry - paper, bag of bits), Christmas Cheer (Figgy Pudding - paper), Double Dutch (Marmalade - paper)

Super cute!

I decided to make two very different cards that incorporate the same major design elements, the word "today", index journal cards and hearts.  It is cool to see how dramatically the same ideas look when you dress them differently.

First, I made this monochromatic card using mostly pinks.

Supplies:  Persnickety:  (Paper:  Fussy, 6X6 Tiny Tablet, Index Journal Card, Mixed Cardstock sticker)

I simply clustered the Today sticker, circle sticker and punched hearts over an index journal card.  Easy, yet sweet and feminine.

For my second take, I went with the primary colors featured in Pinwheel along with the fabulous heart bokeh paper from Destinations.

Supplies:  Pinwheel (Paper:  Cherry Blossom, Apricot Tree, Flip Flops; Chit Chat Stickers; Circle and Tags sticker), Destinations  (Paper:  Bon Voyage); Persnickety (Index Journal Card)

This card is the polar opposite of soft with its bright oranges and reds.  I again incorporated a piece of an index journal card, this time placing it along the top.  I like the unique scallop it give at the bottom of it.  I then layered several stickers and chipboard pieces to convey my sentiments.

Grab your Lily Bee goodies and start creating.  Handmade cards are sure to bring joy to others!

Designer's Choice | Sketch Challenge

Good Morning!

Leslie and I (Melissa M.) are here today to share a new Designer's Sketch Challenge with you! Since the theme of the week is L-O-V-E, the sketch has lots o' hearts on it! However, feel free to interpret those with whatever shape you like! Stars, circles, asterisks...the sky is the limit!

Here is the sketch for this week:

Here is Leslie's gorgeous take on this sketch and here is what she has to say about i!

I decided to take the heart elements from the sketch and make them a “waterfall” per se, to bounce off bold feel of the title (cut from my Silhouette Cameo). I then added a few extra hearts (all of them are also cut from with my Silhouette Cameo) to the top right of my project for balance.

Lily Bee Supplies: Persnickity (Prim Paper, 6x6 Paper Pad, Index Journaling Cards)

Christmas Cheer (Frosty Paper)

Project Life on Friday

Good Morning! I (Melissa M.) am  here today to share my project life album using some Lily Bee Design supplies!

Lily Bee Supplies: Persnickety (6x6 Tiny Tablet, ABC Stickers, Mixed Stickers), Christmas Cheer (Mixed Stickers), Autumn Spice (Mixed Stickers). 

So far, I have stayed caught up this year with my Project Life album. I have taken a slightly different approach this year in keeping my weeks caught up. I have worked on it every two weeks. I upload my photos every week to the computer and edit and save them. At the end of the two weeks, I also load all my iPhone photos onto the computer so I can set them up in a new photoshop file to get them printed. Then, I upload all photos to get developed and complete the two weeks in one sitting. It generally takes me to one and a half to two hours and I will be done! So far, this process has worked great and I hope I will be able to keep it up through out the year!

I put my 6x6 Tiny Tablet from the Persnickety collection to good use on this week's spread. It is super easy to use those 6x6 sheets of paper to make quick 3x4 cards or even 4x6 cards. I cut down one to 4x6 and stitched the phrase "the good life" onto it and popped it in the protector. Quick & easy!

On this half of the week, I cut down the 6x6 sheets to 3x4 (I was able to get two cards from each sheet) and used them to staple my iPhone pictures too. I further embellished them with stickers and wood veneer pieces. I take a very easy approach to Project Life - I do not type out my journaling or use a lot of stitching. My tiny attacher has become my best friend for this project :-)

Thanks for stopping by this fine Friday! We will see you back here bright and early Monday morning!

Mixing it up for some Valentine's Cards

Hello again!

It's Becky Williams here with a couple of love-themed cards to start getting you in the mood for Valentine's Day! Just as we've been doing all week I have mixed and matched collections to create these cards. 

The great thing about scrapbooking these days is that pretty much anything goes. You can use a non-traditional color scheme for a Valentine's Day card and that's a-okay. For this quick card I used some scraps from the brand new Pinwheel collection, a heart punch, an arrow die-cut,  a few alpha stickers and I was finished. 

The little red polka-dotted alphabet stickers from the Christmas Cheer collection were just the right finishing touch for this card. 

Supplies: Persnickety (Finicky), Pinwheel (Flip-Flops, Picnic Basket), Christmas Cheer (ABC Stickers).

For my next card I used a more traditional Valentine's Day color palette, one of my favorite combinations right now: red, pink, blue and gray. 

This card was also quick and easy; I simply cut strips of patterned paper from the Persnickety collection 6x6 Tiny Tablet, punched out and layered a couple of hearts over the die cut and added a bit of twine. 

Supplies: Persnickety (6x6 Tiny Tablet), Christmas Cheer (6x6 Tiny Tablet). 

We'd love to see what you can do with your Lily Bee scraps. Feel free to share your projects with us via Flickr or our Facebook page. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
