We're happy to welcome Iris Babao Uy as our February Guest Designer for Twig, and to share some of Iris' projects with you! In addition to creating some gorgeous layouts with Twig, and then she mixed it up a bit and combined Twig with Cupcake Love! What fun.
Iris uses a unique style - starting with a blank - usually white - background page for almost all of her layouts. Onto this background canvas, Iris layers colors, papers and textures for an amazing and truly one-of-a-kind look!
{NOTE: If you love this look, be sure to check out the brand new glitter mists and paints and pigments from the Art-C mixed media collection, also from The C-Thru Ruler Company, LYB's parent company!}
And now, before we show you Iris' great ideas, here's a few more LYB Q&A with Iris!
LYB: What's your favorite die cutting system?
Iris: Sizzix!! I need dimension. So if it’s die-cuts it’s got to be with chipboard.
LYB: Morning bird or night owl?
Iris: I’m a night and day kinda gal!
LYB: Computer or handwritten journaling?
Iris: Handwritten but definitely hidden! My writing is a mess! Very small letters but very messy still.
LYB: How long does it typically take you to complete a layout?
Iris: One to two hours. I’m pretty fast at it because I stick the papers as I go. That way I can’t keep changing my mind.

And now ... here's Iris!
Do you have pictures that have distracting elements in the background? Using Frames are perfect way to hide those imperfections in your photos. Scrapbooking memories isn’t always about having the perfect design or the perfect photos. There is always a way for you to include your special photos (whether it be perfect or not) in your albums. In this page, I used the Twig frames to eliminate the clutter in my photos.
The Twig line has so many beautiful embellishments that it is not hard at all to create a page with so many details in so little time. This page took me less than an hour to finish.
Here are a few more close ups from this page!
The Twig line is perfect for both masculine and feminine layouts. This page needed little work because the bottom part of the patterned paper already provided a stunning visual element. I simply balanced the design at the bottom with the banner, added a couple of butterflies, some stickers, and it already looked great to me. The doily paper provided the perfect base for my photos.
And a few more detail shots...
Want to add some color to the Twig line? Simply mix and match it with other LYB lines like the “Cupcake Love” which I used here. Pretty hard to tell that they are separate lines huh? The Twig line provided the outdoor feel and look to my page, while the cupcake love line added the girly and whimsical look I wanted to achieve.
And here are some close ups of this page:
Another page where I mixed Twig with the Cupcake Love line. My daughter was actually holding some sweets which she was snacking on. I was not able to fit her snack in my frame when I photographed her. So I placed the cupcake just where her hand would be to help tell the story.
And here are a few close ups!
