Hello summer,
Are you there? Missing blue skies, fire flies, late nights, water fights...
Please shine down on me!
Aaaaah … Sweet Summertime, bursting with bold, sun-kissed, beach-blanket colors, life’s simple pleasures, and sweet juicy treats. Add in a good water fight, and you have the perfect summer day! Biker chick Greta Hammond shares snapshots of a hot summer day with her little girl, Ashlyn, on this 12x12 Sweet Summertime layout.
There will be more Sweet Summertime to come!
Tell me which favorite LSS you would like to see Sweet Summertime in and what you like best about your LSS and I will choose FIVE of you to win a NEW LBY bag loaded with goodies from CHA 2011 Sweet Summertime.
You'll have to wait until early summer to receive the prize bags, but it will be worth the wait!
Wishing you blue skies and sunny days ahead!
Lori
It's so sad to see that so many LSSs have closed, we've watched many close around here, but my favorite, Memory Lane, PA is holding on for now! I hope to see this line there, especially all the adorable embellishments!

I think Crazy for Scrapbooks in Burbank, Ohio is awesome! They always have a great selection of product and the staff is very friendly and knowledgable. They are always very helpful. I can't wait for this collection to hit the shelves.
Posted by: Karen Gower | Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 01:06 PM
This is line is so fantastically amazing! I will tell Sweet Memories and Scrapbooks, etc. in Guadalajara, Mexico to carry them!!!

Hello there,
My favorite LSS is the store in Holland called: PAPER & PICTURES.
I can always get my Little Yellow Bicycle papers there.
Hope to see it soon, for real, this summer.
Greetings to you all.

Crazy for Scrapbooks in Ohio is my store and we will have Sweet Summertime for sure!
Posted by: Julie K. | Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 01:33 PM
Hope to see it at my LSS Krafer's Paradise. I love it for the friendly customer service.
Posted by: Sandy Ang | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 03:10 PM
Need to see this at my LSS "SCRAPPERS COVE" in Milltown NJ where the ladies are friendly, creative, PATIENT and always have special goodies that make the long trip to get there worth it. . . and its where I get my LYB fix !
Posted by: Amanda | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 02:34 PM
Love the colors in this line. So fresh and bright. My favorite LSS is Sticker Store and More in Southgate, MI. I love them because they are so convenient and the owners are very accommodating when it comes to personalizing classes.
Posted by: Terri Harmon | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 01:53 PM
I usually shop at Crazy for Scrapbooks in Lodi, Ohio. They usually carry LYB and I hope this is no exception!
Posted by: Barb L. | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 12:18 PM
Love this line! The bright colors are SO nice to see during this cold winter!
My favorite LSS is Scrapbooking Up North in Alexandria, MN. I visit it every time I am at my parents' cabin and they are always very nice and have things I can't find in the big box stores!
Posted by: Melissa Kaye | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 11:18 AM
I have two LSS close by, Scrapdelight and Paper and Pictures, in Holland. I love them both equally. If one doesn't have what I want, usually the other has, and the other way around.

My favorite LSS and only one left here in Charlotte is Family Memories. The staff is just awesome and so welcoming everytime I'm in there! They are really good about carrying MLYB products.
Posted by: Aimee K | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 02:06 AM
Scrapbook Garden in Huntington Beach, CA has the best selection in hard to find scrapbook goodies!!! Would love to see more LYB products there!!!
Posted by: Minnie Broas | Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 12:26 AM
We don't really have a LSS. The one that was here closed but I loved that they had a play area for the kids & the employees would actually keep an eye on them while you shopped. Miss that place! I guess if I had to pick a place--it would be Hobby Lobby. I go there in travel sometimes. Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: deenas | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Sandy's Scrapbook Nook in Pisgah Forest, NC - It's only 10 minutes from my house.
hugs,
Gini
Posted by: Gini Cagle | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:07 PM
Oh this is a MUST HAVE at Crazy for Scrapbooks in Burbank, Ohio. I love this store because they try to carry all the LYB and it is all just FABULOUS!!! It is also my #1 scrapbook store with a 60 mile radius.
Posted by: April T | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:15 PM
All of our LSS have closed. But I do really like Archivers. And I love this line, can't wait to get it.
Posted by: Jessica Stull | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 09:12 PM
OH boy--this line looke wonderful for the annual summer visit from my nephew and his family! My favorite LSS is in Westbrook, CT--- The Papercraft Clubhouse. The staff is so welcoming, friendly and I always feel like I am coming home when I walk in the door!
Posted by: KimR | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:18 PM
Our LSS went out of business and we do now have a Hobby Lobby and do hope dearly you will have products there as far as I have seen they have super nice employees and very neat and orderly store! We were so sad to see our LSS go Memories Galore was the name it has been like grieving a loss! I now have to go online to get goodies from you guys but it is never the same as seeing it in person. Hope to win some goodies! Thanks
Posted by: Stephanie McGregor | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:31 PM
I "heart" that paper line, love those colors and Greta's layout is wonderful, as usual. I would love to see my lss in Lexington KY, Lasting Legacy get those papers.
Posted by: Kim M | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:28 PM
My LSS is Scrapbook Generation in Springfield MO and they are simply wonderful--sketch books, free classes, wonderful product and a truly GREAT staff.
Posted by: Merri Lynn | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:53 PM
My LSS is Unforgettable Memories in Fort St John, BC. I like her great selection of products! She gets lots of LYB in so I'm sure she'll get this one too. I just love the summery colours and would love to win it!
Posted by: Heather Hopkins | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:00 PM
I know I will see Sweet Summertime at my LSS: Memory Lane, PA in Quakertown, PA because she always has your latest stuff! This is just the sweetest summer collection: great colors and prints, and I am going to have to watch their blog to see when it comes in, because it's going to go quick!
Posted by: Kathy P. | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 05:48 PM
I would love to be able to purchase this Sweet Summertime line at Scrapbook Mania in Birmingham, Alabama. It's my favorite store because the owner is so sweet and makes everyone feel at home.
Posted by: Christine | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 05:45 PM
My favorite LSS is Paper Muse in Sumner, WA. It's quite a drive for me to get there but the owner will email me when items come in that she knows I'm interested in & then she'll hold them for me for a month or more until I can make it over there.
Posted by: Tona | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 04:57 PM
Two peas, and what I love best about them is their incredible amount of resources, forum, gallery, garden, videos etc. I adore this sunny new collection, just beautiful!
Posted by: Shawn Wenrich | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 04:44 PM
Scrapbook Mania in Bessemer, AL is one of my favorite LSS! I go there to get inspiration and to treat myself with new scrapbook goodies!
Posted by: Linh C | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 04:29 PM
I would love to see this at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff! They usually have a great selection and I love to hold it in my hands instead of always ordering online! Love the colors and how fun this collection is!
Posted by: KellyG | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 04:12 PM
I would love to see this at Paper Tales in San Diego, California because it's the cutest shop ever! The ladies are amazing and there's always something cute to pick up, like this collection!
Posted by: Chichi Labamba | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 03:30 PM
Loving this new line! I'm hoping Scrapbook Paradise in Dunedin, New Zealand will be carrying this one!
Posted by: Lydia | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 03:01 PM
I hope Portraitbug in NYC will carry these. I love portraitbug because it is one of the only scrapbook stores we have in the city and the owner is so sweet as is her dad who helps out there.
Posted by: Sandra Y. | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 02:35 PM
My LSS is a small sisters owned store call Scrapbook Buddies. I would love it if they carried your lines. I like how they know everyone, even when you call on them on the phone.
Posted by: mmspiker | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 01:41 PM
Wow, great new collection. I have a soft spot anyway for anything beach-themed, so this is makes me melt! I'd love to see my LSS Family Memories carry this full line with all the embellies. What I like best about my LSS is the friendly staff and owners and all the great classes and product. I'm like a kid in a candy store there!
Posted by: Charlotgrl | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:44 PM
I love LYB and I love this line!!! I love PAGES IN TIME FOREVER in Mishawaka, and I love it so much cause I work there!!! It's a dream come true working at my LSS!!!! And I can't wait to buy this line from PITF :)
Posted by: Sarah | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:39 PM
Difficult post for me..I want summer to come so badly! My favorite LSS is Ben Franklin Crafts in Redmond, WA and I like it because they have classes and demos and a wonderful selection of scrapping items. Thanks so much!
Posted by: Candy | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:32 PM
I love this!!! I cannot wait for summer!!! I, unfortunately, do not have a LSS in my town but I do go to Buffalo Stamps & Stuff sometimes!!!
Posted by: Heather | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:29 PM
Oooooohhhh!!! Scrappin In The City in Knoxvilleeeee TN!!!! I just love this!!!
Posted by: Tina Phillips | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:27 AM
Unfortunately private LSS have not survived in my community. We do have Archivers, Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Personally for paper craft supplies I like Archivers best out of these because they offer great ideas, examples and classes. Please put Sweet Summertime at my Appleton, WI Archivers PLEASE!
Posted by: Kelly Sas | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Love the colors in this. I'm so ready for summer. We don't have a LSS here so I usually shop online for the latest and greatest. Really Like a Cherry on Top for the variety.
Posted by: Tami Mayberry | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:47 AM
My FAVORITE LSS is NEW ENGLAND SCRAPBOOK COMPANY in Canton, CT! They are the "Cheers" of scrapbooking where "everybody knows your name" because they have the best service and make everyone feel at home! It is my happy place for scrapbooking and I can count on them to have LYB to help me create. I am certain that the Summertime collection will add to their fun crops! Thank you for letting me tell your fans how remarkable they are!
Posted by: Julie F | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Absolutely adorable! Love the colors! I would love to see Summertime at Great Scraps in Millersville, MD! Please, please, pretty please!
Posted by: Amanda Albright | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:35 AM
I think it is important to support the independant scrap stores - that is where you get individual attention and L-O-V-E !!!! My LSS is Bella Art in Johnston, RI.
Posted by: Annie Lou Ricci | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:34 AM
I would love to see to see this in Hobby Lobby or Michaels so I could get my hands on it immediately instead of ordering it and waiting for it to arrive. Love the colors in this line. Want it all.
Posted by: Judy Ray | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:30 AM
I would love to see this at Archivers in Orland Park, IL. I love the bright colors and this just says FUN to me!
Posted by: Jennifer Kozar | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Green Tangerines in Rocklin, CA NEEDS this line!! So bright and fun =)
Posted by: Jamie Howard-Sears | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:14 AM
This line is excellent!! I don't have an LSS anywhere close, but I shop at Doodebugs in Sequim, WA when I visit my mom...would love to see this there next time I'm in town :)
Posted by: LaraS. | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:00 AM
This line so needs to be at our new LSS in Denham Springs, LA. It's so new I can't even tell you the name yet because it's still a surprise. I will be doing the shopping for the store and we HAVE to have Sweet Summertime!
Posted by: Anette Rowzee | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 09:25 AM
I would love to see this line at Scrapbook Generation in Springfield, MO. This store goes above and beyond the call of selling scrapbook supplies - they are master teachers who are always willing to share and be innovative. You should see their design books!
Posted by: Marcia Scantlin | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 09:23 AM
This line is so cute!! Can't wait for summer to come!
I don't have any LSS around my area, but I'd love to see my fav online shop "Memory Place" in Tokyo will carry this line.
Posted by: kana | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 09:20 AM
I would love to see Sweet Summertime at Paper Arts in Edmond, Oklahoma. I love this store. It is owned by such a sweet person who really cares about her customers. Everytime you walk into that store you are treated like a long lost relative.
Posted by: Pam Spradlin | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 09:10 AM
OH MY! This is gorgeous! Such fun colors. This would be perfect for my summertime Georgia pictures.

I love this line. It makes me ache for the warm sunshine already! Pages in Time in Lincoln, Ne is where I would love to see this carried.
Posted by: Lisa P | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:57 AM
I would LOVE to see Sweet Summertime in my LSS - The Scrapbook Page in Barboursville (Huntington) West Virginia! We love LYB and we love summer, so it only makes sense to send some sunshine our way.
Posted by: Donna Woods | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:54 AM
My favorite LSS is Scrapbooking's Inn in Hellertown, PA. The owners are so inspiring! I have so much fun going to crops and classes there! I would love to see this line in there!
Posted by: Jenny G | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:49 AM
What a perfect summer line! My favorite LSS is A Walk Down Memory Lane in Rock Valley, IA. I love that this fabulous store in a true small town has not only been able to stay in business, but it keeps growing. People even travel 1 1/2 - 2 hrs to spend a morning shopping and taking classes there. The owner is kind, friendly, and makes you feel like her store just wouldn't be the same if you didn't come in and create with her. Love it :-)
Posted by: Samantha T | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:44 AM
My lss is Two Scrapbook Friends in Waterloo and I love the friendly service the 2 owners and their staff offer. You feel like you're one of their friends when you are there. Great looking collection.
Posted by: Ann | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:43 AM
I buy all my scrapbook supplies from A Cherry On Top online so I'd love to see it there! This line is so bright and cheery I can't wait to scrap with it!
Posted by: Julie Harris | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:42 AM
I think this is so adorable and warm looking! I would like to see it at Second Floor Scrapbook Store in Eldersburg, MD so I could buy it all up! I like my LSS because it is close and they have new and fun products to try out.
Posted by: LisaDianne | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:38 AM
What a CUTE line! I looove the bright colors and it makes me SO ready for summer. ;)
My favorite LSS is called Sandy's Scrapbooking Corner and what I love most about it is the variety of things available! Other than them, the only other place near me that has any scrapbook supplies is Michaels, and the stock there is very limited...
Thanks for the chance to win!
- April W
Posted by: April W | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 08:22 AM
I don't have a LSS anymore so I would buy it at Archivers. Gorgeous line!!

Posted by: Carly | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:53 AM
This is easy. My favorite lss is Wiggles n Giggles in Wethersfield, CT. Everyone is friendly, the store is always well stocked and if what I want isn't in stock, they will usually order it for me.
Posted by: CarolN | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:46 AM
I don't have a LSS in my area. I'd like to see my fav online store carry it...The Scrapbook Cottage.
Beautiful collection and love the layout!
Posted by: Lindy | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:46 AM
My closest LSS shut down, but I have an Archivers in Houston TX that I would love to see carry the line! It is soooo cute...makes me long for summer!
Posted by: Misty Willis | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:45 AM
Pages In Time in Grand Rapids Michigan is my go to store. They are right on my way home from work so very convenient! Plus they always have everything I need.
Such a cute layout!!

Posted by: Jen | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 07:25 AM
There is only one LSS near me and that is Memories and Beyond in Downer's Grove, IL. I love the range of collections they have! It's definitely worth the trip out there! This would be great in their store! I am sooo done with this frigid weather and this would definitely warm me up!
Posted by: Wendy Crowe | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:54 AM
I would LOVE to see my local Hobby Lobby in Jackson, TN carry this!It's the only craft store in my area!

Posted by: mary pat | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:37 AM
I don't have a LSS, so I would love to see it in my fave Aussie online store - Handmade By Suzanne. I love to shop at Suzanne's store because she not only has an excellent range of products and great prices, but she offers wonderful, personal service and is the most lovely lady to deal with! :-)
Posted by: Sue Plumb | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:31 AM
My local scrapbooking store is Urban Scrapbooker in Edmonds, WA. They have great staff, great scrapbooking kits and contests and lots of classes! Plus the owner is the sweetest!
Posted by: Jill Norwood | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:30 AM
Scrapbook Zone, Farmington Hills, Michigan. The new line looks great!
Posted by: Suzze Tiernan | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:17 AM
I'd like to see Sharon's Crop Studio in Greenwood, Indiana, get this. She carries a great variety of stuff and the store has such a nice atmosphere, and the employees are always happy to talk to you about the products you're looking at. Even when I haven't been there in months she still remembers who I am.
Posted by: Andrea | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:14 AM
I LOVE this collection. I'd like to see my local Hobby Lobby carry this collection or even Michael's in the store 30 minutes away. That's all I have locally. Isn't that sad? Thanks!
Posted by: Kelly Massman | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 06:11 AM

I have no lss. So I hope to see my fav online kit company use this line. The Scrapping Spot!
Posted by: Ange | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:20 AM
I'd love to see the Sweet Summertime line at The Scrap Room in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. With so many LSS closing left and right it is wonderful to go somewhere that the people truly share your passion! The staff is always wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable and I feel that they are very " kid welcoming" which is not always the case with smaller specialty stores.
Posted by: Kasondra | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:13 AM
This is yet another great line from LYB. Love the colors. I would love to see Pictures in Time in Orange Park, FL get this line in. I love this store because they really listen to their customers and bring in the newest and greatest stuff. Plus they always have the most fun crops!
Posted by: Vicki Morris | Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Send some Sweet Summertime to Scrapbook Superstore in Madison WI and send a little Sweet Summertime to me too!!
Posted by: Jan Metcalf | Monday, January 24, 2011 at 10:44 PM
With many LSS's closing over the past year, it's GREAT to know that one favorite is still there waiting to give us personal service. CRAZY FOR SCRAPBOOKS,INC. is the perfect place to stock up on scrapping goodies. The Summertime collection would be perfect for this location, too. As Northeast Ohioans, we bask in the few months of summer and enjoy every minute of it. Can see some great layouts with these papers!! Can't wait ...
Posted by: Jeanne Travaglianti | Monday, January 24, 2011 at 10:41 PM
Well the only LSS I have in my city is Michaels! I never see any LYB in my michaels and I would love to see this there!! But on the off chance that it is not I NEED to WIN this! Summer is my favorite time of year maybe because I am a summer baby.
Posted by: Jamie Greene | Monday, January 24, 2011 at 10:10 PM
I would love to see this at Simply Scrapbooks, Claremore, OK. I love that they always have amazing classes and promotions to keep you excited about scrapbooking.
