lily bee - it's a fun affair

just a quick note to let you know that I have a new layout up on the lily bee blog today. it's alittle something I created to capture the time that we had spent with DH nephew this past fall. It was great to be able to see everyone again during our trip to Belgium then and also take the boys out for a day or two.

for this layout, I used lily bee picket fence and stationery collections. and I know I say it way too many times, but LOVE the stationery collection!!!



and a few more close up shots of the layout.. this one focusing on the Studio Calico wooden stars. another up and coming favorite of mine. I really do like the texture and also the variations of the wooden embellishments and especially when you color them, they give that added character that you don't find in chipboards pieces.



and now using the banner stickers from the picket fence collection to make little flags, just like the ones that we saw at the amusement park.



also {and saving the best bits for last} don't you love that polaroid look on the pictutes. yeap, that's done using the super fun polaroid stamp from the Say Cheese stamp set from Fawn Lawn {and oh you've got to check out the camera stamp from the same collection, it's even cuter!!!}


supplies used include:
cardstock: american crafts (white and brown) and bazzill (kraft); pattern paper: lily bee designs (picket fence and stationery collections); wooden star embellishments: studio calico; white mist: studio calico; chipboard elements: lily bee designs (domestic bliss and lovely); button: jenni bowlin; pins (for the flags): maya road; stamp: fawn lawn (say cheese stamp set); alpha stickers: lily bee design (picket fence collection); punch: ek success (circle and edge) and fiskars (butterfly)
