We're back today with our final post from our Tiny Princess and Baby Saurus Guest Designer Laura Vegas! It's been so great to see her inspirational ideas for fun things to do with these super cute collections!
While it's sad to say goodbye to Laura, that means summer ... and Sweet Summertime ... is around the corner! That's right folks, we are NOW shipping Sweet Summertime to a LSS near you! And we'll be back next week with a brand new Guest Designer using the sizzlin' hot (but really cool) Sweet Summertime collection!
But now a final LYB Q&A with Laura Vegas!
LYB: Are you a neat scrapbooker or is your space a mess?
Laura: I'm a very neat scrapper. Everything has its place in my scraproom, and I am constantly cleaning up and putting things away as I work. I just tend to think better when things are neat and in order.
LYB: What is your best time or money saving tip?
Laura: I like to break down some of my projects into small steps, that I can work on in 5-10 minute time slots. Since I work at home as a daycare provider, I have lots of little moments during my day where I can get little things done. If you add up all those little things at the end of the day, you'll find that you actually accomplished quite a bit.
LYB: Do you have a favorite adhesive?
Laura: I'm a huge fan of glue dots and pop dots.
LYB: Describe your style.
Laura: I'm a very clean and linear scrapbooker. I like fun and bright colors, and lots of dimension on my layouts. I like to think that my layouts are very do-able. While they make take me forever to design, I think that others find the ideas very simple to duplicate.
And now, here's Laura!

Hey everyone! It's Laura Vegas here, for a Tiny Princess layout share. When I first saw this adorable collection, I really wanted to scrap some photos of my girls from when they were ittie bitties. Sadly, they were tiny ones back before digital photography came along. Digging out photos for them is a little harder. So I decided to scrap some of my favorite photos of one of my previous daycare girlies, Miss Haley.
I love mixing different elements together for my titles. I loved the "CUTIE" Chipboard Embellishment Sticker, but wanted to add something else to that part of the layout to make it stand out more. A few of the Fresh Verse stickers were the perfect touch.
I used a sheet of the 6x6 Double Sided Decorative Edge Cardstock, and added a portion of the banner Canvas Sticker Border across the top. I love the Crepe Paper Lace Stickers, and they are so easy to work with. I cut a few small pieces from different colors, and used them on two corners of my photo collage. I think they sort of resemble masking tape, and make it appear that I taped down my photo collage.
The 12-Month Cards are great for journaling. I choose the "6 months" card, since these are photos of Haley when she was just 6 months old. I just hand journaled a few of the things that she was doing at that age.
I want to say a huge "Thanks" to Little Yellow Bicycle, for letting me guest design on the blog this past month! I love designing with their adorable products, and working with these two new collections was so much fun.

Beautiful layout Laura. In particular, I love the way you added the banners to the 6X6 decorative cardstock, and the stitching really finishes the look of the layout. So much incredible detail, everywhere you look!
Thank YOU Laura, for your beautiful projects this month! And if you loved Laura's work, be sure to head over to her blog, and tell her how great she is!
