CHA Summer is Finally Here! New Collections Revealed!

 

Did you know that in baseball, the major leagues are called "The Big Show"? Of course I only know this because I watched Bull Durham a few too many times...but anyway.

 

For us here at LYB, the Big Show, naturally, is CHA! And we're here at CHA Summer (Booth 321) to share our new collections with you! A couple weeks ago I posted some teeny tiny pics of what you can expect from the new collections, and now it's time for the big reveal.

 

First up - Head of the Class - releasing in August! Just in time for back to school shenanigans, this collection is the perfect backdrop for your little (or big) smarty pants! I posted a teeny pic of a layout, and here's the full layout (created by Biker Chick Liz Qualman):

 

 

Head of the Class mixes primary colors with gray and a teeny bit of grunge!

One of my favorite pieces is the "10 Things" pocket ... with pencils for journaling!

Cute!! You will also love the Chipboard Pieces (with thermography) and Clear Cuts (with glitter accents):

 

...plus canvas borders (that can also be banners!)

 

A couple more fun projects:

 

"Back 2 School" by Biker Chick Greta Hammond:

 

 

An amazing altered lunchbox by Biker Chick Renee Foss:

 

And "School Rules" by Liz!

 

And next...Get Your Game On!

 

 

Game On will be available in August - and it's so perfectly sporty! Parts of the collection are themed to a specific sport - basketball, baseball, soccer, or football - while the rest of the collection coordinates with every sport. So it's wonderfully versatile for the multi-sport families too!

 

New to LYB collections with this release are Canvas Colorables! An idea borrowed from our Art-C mixed media collection, Canvas Colorables are great for your own altered art project ... or to add texture and dimension to your scrapbook page! With one for each sport in the collection, there's one that's just perfect for you! Be sure to check them out!

 

Here are a few more peeks!

 

Love these banners:

 

Fresh Verse Cardstock Stickers for every sport:

And a few more projects:

 

"Football Champion" by Renee:

You will love the cozy-sweater style and fantastic fall colors of in the Hello Fall collection! This collection will blow into your LSS in September. It's a brisk breath of autumn cool!

 

One of the coolest things from this collection is the fall flowers! In addition to the paper flower kit (made here into a beautiful fall wreath by Greta):

 

 

Here's another pic:

 

 

M-M-M ... Love these!!!!!

 

... we've also added these wonderfully fun felt flowers - to add warmth and dimension to your layouts and projects:

 

So cute! Plus stick pins in coordinating jewel toned colors:

 

 

I love the teeny "Count Your Blessings" envelope pockets - with your choice of four flags to customize your journaling:

 

 

There are cardstock stickers with embossing and buttons:

 

Super cool canvas tape rolls (approx 3/4" by 36")

 

 

This Family Tree Page Kit has everything you need to make a two-page layout - perfect for heritage albums, family pages, or your Thanksgiving celebration:

 

 

Plus Fresh Verse, banners, journaling cards, chipboard, corrugated, and so much more! Can't wait for August!!!

 

Our Christmas collection, Wonder & Wishes, will be at your LSS in the early fall. A jolly burst of holiday hijinx, Wonder & Wishes is stuffed full as a stocking with traditional plaids and prints, angels & elves, reindeer & mittens, a touch of matte silver foil, a fanciful flourish and a twinkle of glitter!

 

Take a look at this "Countdown to Christmas" layout Greta made:

PHEW! That's a lot of info. Thanks to all of you who stuck around and read all the way to the END of this blog post!!I think you'll agree, our designers have outdone themselves, yet again. Three cheers for our wonderful Senior Creative Director Sharon Kropp and Creative Director Lori Marek, the designers, and of course our talented Biker Chicks!!

 

We're still putting some final tweaks on the website updates - where you can see the collections in their fabulous entirety, just by following the links. I'll post again when it's ready!!!

 

Meanwhile, Lori will be back later this week with some CHA pics for you!
