CHA Winter Collections - Full Reveal!

So much going on here at LYB getting ready for CHA! We're packing boxes ...

 

Preparing Class kits ...

And of course, we'll be bringing lots and lots of LYB tote bags!

and crossing our fingers and toes hoping that this next round of snow doesn't prevent us - not to mention all of our boxes of goodies - from getting to LA in time for CHA Winter! Still, amidst all of the craziness, I sometimes stop and pinch myself and think "how lucky am I?" that I get to play with these collections and all their yumminess!

 

And so, without further ado, I present (*dun da da daaaa*)

LYB's CHA Winter collections!!!!

 

Twig

First, there's Twig! As the sticker says ... "Living life on a limb." This collection is all about a celebration of the loveliness that surrounds us every day. Whether you're communing with nature or just appreciating one of life's everyday moments, there's something for you in Twig. You can see the complete collection here on the LYB website, but here are a few of our favorites!

 

One of my favorites in our new collections are these butterflies. They'll add dimension and glitter to your projects - and they're just so much fun! You'll also see butterflies fluttering about in the Elizabeth Park collection... lucky you!

 

 

Next ... the cardstock. There are six, double-sided, textured pieces in this collection. Here's just one example (it's called Woods/Pleased Plaid). Trust me, you'll want to pick up at least two of each!):

Fresh Verse stickers (with thermography for added texture and dimension) are a part of every LYB collection, but I just love these! [Feel free to click on the image to take a closer look!]

And OMG feathers! Perfectly coordinated and sure to tickle your fancy!

And one more little share. Our talented friend Karen Grunberg sent us several great projects she created with Twig. We'll be showing more of them after CHA, but here's one. You can follow Karen's blog here: www.karenika.com.

 

Don't forget to view the entire Twig collection on the LYB website! Oh and one more great thing about Twig ... it's in stores NOW!!! Ask for it at your LSS or find it in your favorite online store!

 

Elizabeth Park

Inspired by flowers, and birds and music on a warm spring day, the Elizabeth Park collection positively sings with happiness! Beautifully blended with a little bit of something for everyone - from flowers and birds to gardening themes, family and love!

 

Let's start with the Elizabeth Park butterflies I mentioned earlier (be still my fluttering heart!):

The collection includes six pieces of double-sided, textured cardstock, plus Chipboard stickers ...

And here's a close-up of the Paper Flower Kit Sharon mentioned in her previous post:

 

(and in case you missed it, here is the stunning layout Biker Chick Greta Hammond created with this very kit!)

 

 

And so much more! Fabric Favorites ...

Favorite Pieces ...

A little bit of bling...

Banners...

And of course, Fresh Verse!

Elizabeth Park will be in stores in February. Make sure to see the whole Elizabeth Park collection here on the LYB website!

 

Baby Saurus

When my son was three, he knew the name of every dinosaur who ever roamed the prehistoric planet (and therefore so did I ... really ... you can quiz me). Seriously what little boy doesn't love the dinos? Maybe that's why I love the Baby Saurus collection so much!

 

Let's start with the cardstock. Six double-sided 12 X 12 textured cardstocks plus specialty cardstocks. Love this little "Dinos All Over" cardstock:

And the Dino Dots!

 

These 12 month cards are included with both collections and make it super easy to journal those special events and milestones of baby's first year!

 

And my personal favorite from the collection are these layered felt ribbon dinos!

[The picture truly doesn't do these cuties justice!] Here's one more project. Wouldn't this little banner look dino-tastic hanging in a little boy's room?

 

Check out the Gallery on LYB's website for more project ideas!

 

Tiny Princess

What's not to love about the Tiny Princess collection? It's full of little girl delights for your tiny princess! All pink and purple and sparkly whimsical! We begin with six sheets of double-sided textured cardstock, plus this darling decorative edge cardstock with glitter (be sure to also see the 6X6 sizes)!

Didn't you just love the princess with the handmade dress Sharon showed us yesterday? She created it with the little princess from the Favorite Pieces (shown below) plus a piece from the collection's crepe paper lace stickers! [Don't you also love that cutie cute little lineup of birdies?]

 

Don't miss the glitter and jewels on the Tiny Princess Chipboard Embellishments...

 And every princess has a little bit of bling!

 

One of the new features of each of our CHA Winter collections are the "5 Things" pockets. A new take on our very popular "10 Things" title pockets, these are actully 5 separate envelopes with their own journaling sheet. And you can mix or match the things you love with individual stickers! You can see this fun new embellishment in this page done by Greta Hammond (and guess what ... it's not just for babies! this layout works for any little girl)!

 

Oh and I almost forgot this adorable chipboard spinner! The perfect embellishment - no matter what the theme!

There's so much more to show from this wonderful collection, but I must move on! Be sure to see the rest here, on LYB's website! And watch for Baby Saurus and Tiny Princess at your LSS in mid-April!

 

Sweet Summertime

Here in Connecticut it is snowing again, and we are on the brink of breaking the record for the most snow in a single month ever in recorded history. Do you think we need a little Sweet Summertime? Just thinking about this collection warms me up! Bright beach blanket colors, tangy lemons, juicy watermelons and my very favorite...fireflies...fills this collection with SUMMER FUN!

Here is one of my favorite papers from the collection:

 

See what I mean? This collection also features six double-sided, textured 12 X 12 papers, as well as this adorable glittery firefly paper! Practically glows like a firefly's tail!

 

The collection includes this sweet chipboard banner album:

 

... and these coordinating papers and pieces- pre-cut to fit perfectly!

 

And who doesn't enjoy a glass of sweet lemonade in the summertime?

You'll flip over these chipboard shapes (and the collection also includes transparency shapes!)

 

The ever-popular LYB "10 Things" pocket:

And don'tcha just love this chipboard spinner?

There's banners...

Fresh Verse...

 

And so much more! Summer can't come soon enough! Sweet Summertime will be in stores in late spring. See the rest of the collection here on the LYB website!

 

Phew! That's a lot! It's going to be a fun fun spring! Thanks for looking and maybe we'll see you at CHA!!
