Twig inspiration

Hello,

I'm sitting in my office, looking out the window at all of the beautiful snow coming down.  My kids built a huge fort yesterday. I'm thankful for this.  It was a little thing..but I am glad they were able to play together.

I am so excited to be sharing Twig with you.  I think you might just fall in love.

 

Living life on a limb is the theme of Twig. Serendipitous discoveries along the way helped bring this collection together. Little touches of vintage. A warm mingling of blues, greens and browns. Irresitable finds from nature.  There are many inspired pieces in this collection that will give you opportunity to find the MUCHNESS in life. 

 

Here's a sneak peek of a few of my favorite pieces...Chipboard Stickers. Yes.  The chipboard charms hang from the branch by little pieces of jute.

Here is another one of my favorite skus.  I chose to share this piece with you so you can see a sampling of the irresitable patterns within the collection.  This is Twig's envelope album.  Plan now to fill these envelopes with some of your favorite findings this spring. There is room for sticks, feathers, notes.  Lot of things.

And, a favorite among many...Canvas borders.

Other favorites to look for:   CORRUGATED SHAPES, DIMENSIONAL POP UP BUTTERFLIES, LAYERED FLOWER BUTTONS.

 

OPPORTUNITY TO WIN. OPPORTUNITY TO WIN. OPPORTUNITY TO WIN. OPPORTUNITY TO WIN.

Please comment and let me know what you might do with this envelope album and the other embellishments featured in this post. I'll choose three of you to WIN a nice little package filled with Twig goodies the week of CHA.  Make sure you include your address.

As the snow continues to fall, let Twig invite you to enter into a world of curiosity and creativity. 

The little evidences of spring will be here before we know it...

Happy New Year. 

Lori

I adore this line!!! I am homeschooling my 5-yr old son this year for kindergarten, and I would LOVE to use this album and embellies to make a "first year of homeschooling" album...SO much to be thankful for, so much happiness, and the colors are perfect for a little boy!

These cute envelopes would be perfect in my tri-shutter albums that I make in classes. They are great to stuff all sorts of memories and gadgets that you collect. My friends love the albums for that reason and up til now I have made the envelopes out of tags but this looks like the cutest idea. Along with the borders. What a great set of items. Looking forward to finding these soon.

Wonderful collection! I love the words on the embellishments and the prompts on the envelope pieces. I've asked a few important people in my life to write me a letter of wisdom as I go off into the real world and the envelopes would be perfect to hold them. The colors also very calm and that really goes along with my personality. I feel like this line was made for me! ha!

I am a HUGE LYB fan! Just finished using my 2009 Countdown to Christmas stash - seems like I treasure your products so much I enjoy stockpiling and admiring them first, then I LOVE putting the products to good use! TWIG is gorgeous. If I was lucky enough to win some, I'd like to do a mini album about my son turning 21 this year. Lots to reflect on and hope for in his life.

[{vicki}]

I would use this for MYSELF! Looks like the perfect album to write down things about ME!

I live in the middle of the woods and take walks almost everyday! This would be an awesome album to save small treasures from my walks. I am always picking up leaves and small things along the way! Thank you for the chance to win!

[Kaye Lang]

41.

I like to display mini-albums on stands around the house....this one would be perfect for the kids spring activities and look so nice sitting out to display. The canvas borders are definitely going on to cards to accent the Twig paper.

[Tona]

I would make a mini album that included photos & bits & pieces of nature from the walks I like to take around our property.

[Jody Mattics]

43.

I've been waiting months to find the perfect line for my girlfriends baby album... And this is it! I would work a bit of pink and lavender in, just to remember it's girly, BUT otherwise it is spot on. Her nursery is decorated with a nature theme and painted light blue. The envelope album will be perfect for all those little baby keepsakes:-)

[Janet Zeppa]

44.

What a great line! I would use the album for a mini about my grandnephews and all the little boy things they do.

[Judy S]

A mothers day album for my mOm would have the kids tuck notes and mementos in the envelopes.

I have yet to make my first Envelope Album, but this one inspires me to do it. Twig is perfect for my hubby's retirement coming up. So excited to see more of the Twig collection and CHA reveal!

[Cindy]

48.

I love this new line - the blue/green/brown combo is just soft enough to use for almost anything! This set I could see being an album about my 22 year old son, about the things I miss about him now that he no longer lives with me, and about the qualities in him that I am so proud of. Lots of room for that emotional mom-stuff that only he will read :)

[Jan m]

49.

I like the canvas borders for cards!

[Sherry]

Beautiful. But not too frilly. The envelope album would be perfect for all the keepsakes we bring back from Cub Scout camps.

[Tracy]

51.

This new line is amazing...the album and embellishments are wonderful. Can't wait to get my hands on them to make something fun and adorable.

[Bonnie]

52.

The colors in this collection are my fav, blues and greens!! I would use this album to make a mini documenting my hubby's and mine 20 year anniversary!! I love the soft colors and all the embellishments are just gorgeous!!

[Laura 1943]

53.

Really like this !! Colors , canvas, and design...what is NOT to like ??? Sweet !

[Marcy F]

54.

I really like this line, my grandson likes to look for bugs and this would make the perfect album to take the picutes and have a place to put them.

[sandra m.]

55.

Beautiful collection, thanks for sharing the peeks. It seems like just the thing to preserve some special family moments and memories. it would be great to have a monthly record of our current happenings.

[Janeyp]

56.

I LOVE this line. The colors are perfect together. These colors will be the inspiration for my Pandora bracelet. I already have blues and browns and wanted to add one more color but was not sure which one. Now I know it will be green. These colors will remind me of all the fun times I had camping when my children were little. I album kit would be perfect for me to make a book of our outside adventures for my daughter who will be leaving for college in the fall. Thanks for the chance to win. You can reach me at [email protected]

[lindy]

57.

I love the twig~ I appreciate sets which are more general since I have no kids--just wonderful pets. I also love when the greens,blues and browns are used together for something other than boys/men. I am looking forward to purchasing this album to make into a mini book for my family.

[Lisa W]

58.

I love the colors of this line! Beautiful! I would use this album to scrap some memories of my precious Granny who passed on Christmas Eve., and give it to my Mom for her memory!

[Joli]

59.

Love this line!!!! I would use the envelope album to document a family trip we are going to take with all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents - the envelopes would be a great place to stash little memories!!

[Beth Woods]

60.

The envelope album would be for the man in my life, to say, and show him, how much he means to me, and how thankful I am, that he is in my life! The fact that all LYB ranges are to die for is an added bonus!

[Jodie]

61.

I think this line is a great color combination. Perfect for all the outdoor activities and warm enough for everthing else... also it is not exclusively girly. I think it just says warmth and love!

Twig is totally adorable. My 5-year-old loves to collect 'treasures'. In the winter it's things like beads and scraps of paper she finds on the floor of my craft room, but in the spring/summer it's tiny things she finds outside. Like pebbles, leaves, and *twigs*! The envelope album would be awesome for these treasures of hers! Thanks for a chance to win!

Lovin' this! And this is going to be used to make a mini album for Grandma!

[Kathy P.]

64.

Oh, this is my most fave line of LYB yet! I would so love to win a kit! I would use the envelope album to make a memory book, using things my two grandkids pick up when we go on hikes! I made a mini-album with the Savor line and I just love it!

I love the colors of this line - gorgeous! My favorite color scheme is blue, green and brown ;D The chipboard pieces are awesome, I love how the charms dangle and the canvas banners are fab!!

[Jessica Stull]

66.

I love this line. I would use it to scrap about my dear friend who has waited 20 years to find mr. right. She is just giddy because she has found the man of her dreams. I would document our friendship and all the events that have lead her to her dream. She is a very special person and this scrapbook would make a great engagement gift. Thank you for the chance to win this great kit.

[Tammy]

67.

I love love the colors of Twig! The soft mixture of colors is so earthy just my style!
I scrap with a bunch of fun gals but never have put a scrapbook together of us but... this would be PERFECT!
The sayings seem to fit the theme of creating a beautiful mini album of my scrap friends! I am SOOO excited to see this one in the stores!!!! Yaaaa!!!!

[Linh C]

68.

Twig is such a beautiful collection! The colors and patterns can be used for a masculine feel, yet it is not too masculine to use with girly things. The envelop album would be perfect for my daughters' ticket stubs and other memorabilia they collect from their high school years.

My daughter and I go on a church camping trip every summer and Twig would be perfect to document our escapades and adventure. I love this new line...especially that little branch! Going to have to pick it up as soon as it is available because i'm sure it will be snapped up real fast!

[Lauri {Scrap Attack}]

LOVE these, I can't wait until they are released!

[BARB]

71.

Love the colors, blue being my favorite color of all. The embellishments are too cute. This will definitely be used for one or more of my grandchildren. How fun to make an album with little surprises in each envelope!

[Karen S.]

72.

I am already a fan of twig. This line is going to be huge! I especially like the rectangular mini album with pockets and plenty of space for journaling. This is a must have for me. Thank You Little Yellow Bicycle

[Betty]

73.

OMGosh!!!!! I've died and gone to heaven... I am not a girly girl and I have 2 guys to scrap so am always looking for things that are a little more sophisticated that will work for both them and myself. YOU have rolled it all up into one package with TWIG.

I'll start with a mini album for me and then I might do one for each of the guys as well. I say might as once I have it in my hands I may not want to 'share' it's loveliness with them ;)

[Misty Willis]

74.

WOW...that is just absolutely phenomenal! I love the colors, the embellies...just everything! I have 3 sons...on of which is quickly becoming a man...and I want to document this stage of his life with words of wisdom and tidbits of advice. THAT album would be perfect for that!!!!

[Dawn Hopkins]

75.

I love the blues and greens. As the mom of three boys, I can see myself using this line to document their exploits! :)

Thank you for the opportunity to win!

[Francine]

76.

This collection would be great for a vacation scrapbook. The parents, the kids and I took a road trip this summer and Twig would be perfect to scrap the memories of that trip.

The envelopes I would use to hold memorabilia, use as fun journaling pockets, or photo mats with another photo tag inside.

[Kristen I.]

77.

Wonderful collection! I love the words on the embellishments and the prompts on the envelope pieces. I've asked a few important people in my life to write me a letter of wisdom as I go off into the real world and the envelopes would be perfect to hold them. The colors also very calm and that really goes along with my personality. I feel like this line was made for me! ha!

[Judy Ray]

78.

I love these colors. I have made every one of your envelope albums and keep them on my coffee table for guests and family to pick up and admire. I would do a fall album with my 2 year old girl.

Happy New Year.

[renee wuensch]

79.

I LOVE this line!! The canvas boarders would work great for my sons 5th b-day page that I have been putting off because I want to do something other than the traditional b-day lines. And the envelope album is perfect for the album I have been planning on putting together for my-self. I have MS and want to make an album to keep me positive on days when I need it!

[Dana Tatar]

80.

This collection is so beautiful! I LOVE the idea of an envelope album. My girls are always collecting things and this would be a great way to preserve the memories and their special trinkets!

[Samantha T]

81.

This is a gorgeous line! That envelope would make a great adventure book. My husband, boys (2yrs. & 4 yrs.) go on lots of adventures (walks) in the spring. That would be a great place to record those adventures, and even keep some of their treasures (twigs, leaves, flowers, etc.).

[Margie Visnick]

82.

Awesome new collection! I love the colors-I would use that envelope mini album as a weight loss goal/diary/album!

[Diane Anthony]

83.

Love the look of this. I take so many photos of my flowers in the spring, summer and fall. I think this album would be perfect to showcase and document where they are planted and which ones are new. This is so fun! I live in Deer River, MN and like the others above, I am a little cautious about publishing address. If I should be a lucky winner, please email me! Thanks for the chance to win. It is beautiful, Lori!

[Lindy]

84.

I love this new line, so earthy. We go camping in the summer and this line would be perfect for those memories.

[mary pat]

85.

oh wow i love this new line. I love the earthy tones--brown blue and green are my favs! if i had the mini albums I would probably make my in laws mini album because they live out of town. the pictures would be all of us outside!

[KimC]

86.

I love the colors and as a Mom to 2 boys, I use these colors often. I need to slow down in 2011, so I would use the album to create a reminder for me to do that - slow down and be calm. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Lori B]

87.

Love this line! Would work well for my 4 boys! Envelopes would be great for ticket stubs, etc. Love the banners and jute!

[Liz]

88.

Lori - all of your collections are inspiring, but I really love the earthy feel of this one and think it is absolutely perfect to preserve memories of my two Colorado munchkins. You knocked this one out of the park! Corrugated shapes...hmmmmm.

[carrie]

89.

I am so in love with this! The colors are just awesome. I would use this to make a little personal album for my husband from myself and my children. We can each have an envelope to work on and we can do some together. I can't wait to see this in the stores!

91.

I adore this line. I can hardly wait for CHA to pass so all the new goodies will hit the stores. I would love to do a memory album for my daughter, who will be leaving for college this year. All the little enveopes will be so nice to fill with lots of memory stuff. I really don't want to publish my addy for all but I live in Alabama.

[Jen Barkdull]

92.

I love this new line! It's perfect for my boys. We take my kids camping every spring and I can see using this line for that trip. Also, for birthdays, etc... :)6099 Steiner, Kyle, TX 78640

[Lori Gentile]

93.

I am completely blown away by this new collection. It is so outstanding!!! I currently use a plain notebook for my nightly gratitude lists. I can say in all honesty, that Twig will be used to create a new album for my nightly gratitude lists. I can see combining the adorable envelope book into a larger ringed binder. I can very much see writing to myself on the "promise me 1 thing" card on those days when finding gratitude is difficult. Every bit and piece shown here is perfect for my gratitude album! I'm so inspired!

[Michelle in NJ]

94.

Wow, is this line super cool. First thing that came to mind would be to scrap my kids and thier relationship as sister and brother....I just love it!

I love this new line, so earthy and natural. I think the album and embellishments would be perfect for a friendship album. My friend in NYC was kind enough to let me stay with her a few days this fall and I would love to make a mini to send her of our time together. I'm a little hesitant to list my full address for all to see. I live in KY.
