Another Day of Inspiration with Cycling Team Member Amy Peterman

Here at Little Yellow Bicycle we cannot brag enough about our amazing Cycling Team!  Each day we post something from these talented designers is another day of inspiring bliss and today is no exception.  We are very pleased to share more Hello Fall! projects with Amy Peterman wearing the "yellow jersey."  She's sharing a mini ablum, double page layout and a card, but let's have Amy tell you all about it...

 

"Hello Little Yellow Bicycle fans! I am pretty geeked to be sharing with you today. I’ve always loved LYB, so when I was asked to participate on the Cycling Team, I was thrilled ... And when my box of Hello Fall! product arrived, you can believe I did a little happy dance. I’ve always been draw to an autumnal palette and yummy textures, so this collection is right up my alley."

Family Gratitude Album

I created my own envelopes inside my album with various Hello Fall! patterned papers (I used a printable envelope template from this site to create them - http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/07/5-12-inch-square-envelope-template-lots.html).

I had each of my family members write down what they are thankful for on pages pulled from the Say What? Gratitude Journal Tablet. Each family members’ list gets tucked into their own little envelope.

I have this album hanging in our front entryway. I love that it not only serves to hold precious photos and memories, but it also is a fall décor piece.

 

For this mini album, I used one of the Little Yellow Bicycle Chipboard Albums (LYB101), lots of Hello Fall! goodness and the Say What? Gratitude Journal Tablet.

 

Fall Fun
What better way to say hello to fall than a joyous frolic in the fallen leaves? To play off that theme, I repeated leaf elements in this design. First, I just had to use that beautiful patterned paper with the tree on it. I accented a few leaves by hand-cutting around them and overlapping my photos with them. I also added a couple of the leaves from the Corrugated Shapes pack and adhered them with foam adhesive. I then hand-cut a few more leaves on the left side of my layout and stitched around them for definition.

Oh Happy Day Card
Amidst all of the creating with this awesome collection, I just had to throw in a card. I used the Fabric Favorites (owl and banner) and some Canvas Tape (aren’t those owls adorable?). I love how the combination of these products made creating a card and snap!

Thank you Little Yellow Bicycle! I loved sharing today!
