New Paradise Collection Sneak Peek and a Call for More Cycling Team Members

We are so excited to announce our newest collection called Paradise! It is the perfect blend of bright pinks and blues with serene greens, and like its name makes you want to visit warm, far off places or just make your own home a Paradise. The Biker Chicks have a few sneak peeks from our CHA projects and I am pretty sure that there is a catolog with some of our newest collections circulating out there....

We also want to ask a few more designers to join our Cycling Team and take a spin with the new Paradise collection. Details for the call are at the end of this post.

It just wouldn't be Little Yellow Bicycle if we didn't have a flower kit in our collections and as you can see the Paradise Flower Kit is full of bright, beautiful colors that are grounded in a warm and natural greens.

Biker Chick Greta Hammond made this darling page using many of the lovely patterned papers and cardstock stickers from the Paradise collection. Love the little bits of lace she incorporated with the Little Yellow Bicycle Paper Doiles and her punch.

Look at the pretty details and the faded denim patterned paper. It's such a perfect blend of brights and naturals.

Greta also created this adorable printer's tray project highlighting the 5 Things Pocket in the Paradise collection.

Biker Chick Vicki Boutin created this beautiful card. Vicki incorporated some of the patterned paper from our Paradise Album Kit into her card which is a great shape and pattern for the beautiful flowers.

Love how Vicki also used the theme of the Paradise collection to show how her family is her Paradise. She really captured the sentiment of happy with the black and white photos paired with some of the brighter elements in the collection.

Biker Chick Liz Qualman (me) created this page of a recent visit with some of my girlfriends to San Diego. I thought the sentiments of the cardstock stickers perfectly captured the occasion. I also highlighted the Flower Kit and dressed it up with LYB Jewel Stickers.

I just love how adding a few pop dots to the cardstock stickers makes them jump off the page. The "free" sentiment paired with the bird sticker shows how my friends and I "left" our families at home so we could enjoy a girls weekend out.

I also created these bookmarks to take along on a trip to mark places to visit. I saw a similar idea with felt on Pinterest and thought patterned paper and cardstock stickers would make great bookmarks too.

Biker Chick Renée Foss created this soft and beautiful page. She also used the Happy Girls are the Prettiest cardstock sentiment which is perfect for this page!

Paradise Cycling Team Call

Come Ride with Us!

Here's what we're looking for:

With each new collection we like to invite a few new designers (about 3-5 per collection) to come design for us. We ask Cycling Team members to commit to a month of designing after the collection is released. In return, we'll send you some free product and shamelessly promote you along with ourselves on our blog and facebook page. Read the details below:

1) Make one project with what we send you - a layout, some cards, a mini album, an altered item...whatever makes you happy!

2) Send us some pictures of it, and a little write-up or how-to of how you created it.

3) Post it on your blog, facebook page and any online galleries you belong to. We'll put it here on our blog too, of course!

That's it!

Tryouts for this team are starting RIGHT NOW!

If you are interested, please send us three (3) samples of your best work (preferably with LYB products because that is what we like to look at most, however it's not a deal breaker if you send something else) to LYBCyclingTeam@yahoo.com. Also, if you have previously designed for a Cycling Team, please feel free to apply again! We'll announce the NEW Paradise Cycling Team on December 23rd. Please include your contact information (address, phone and blog) in your email.

And then we'll ask you to hop on that Little Yellow Bicycle and pedal your heart out!

Hope to hear from you!

Liz
