A Little Bit of Paradise with Cycling Team Member Kay Rogers

We are so excited to introduce our newest Cycling Team Member Kay Rogers. Kay's clean and simple style gives our Paradise collection a fresh look. Here is what she had to say about Paradise, "I think Paradise was so versatile because I could accomplish outdoorsy, fun, subtle, and pretty all with one line! Thanks for the opportunity to be on the Cycling Team!"

For this layout of Jenna and her cousin, I wanted the soft blues and greens to make the picture shine. The blocks of patterned paper are a nice compliment to the photo and the simple, clear cut tag is a great journal spot.

The Clear Cut shapes, not only come with glitter accents, but they are also easy to write on and add a very different look than cardstock.

This page has one of my favorite pics of Jenna. I really wanted the layout to be more "pretty" and serene in nature to make her shine through. The plaid paper makes a great border and contrast to the black and white photo.

The Paradise garland embellishment is such a fun addition to a page or project. Just add some pop dots and the dimension shines through.

This layout with Jenna up on the pile of hay playing was inspired by the quote on the card. She was having such a little adventure that day, and I wanted to convey the fun with a more random feel to the placement of the elements on the page.

Kay also made this adorable project with our Paradise Medley Album.

I thought the papers were perfect for a series of photos I took with my photography club kids. We were outdoors and Jenna came with us on the trip. I snapped so many pictures that day so a mini album was perfect!

For directions, I just printed my pictures 2x3. I used the mini-album kit, and supplemented the pages with the shaped papers. I then laid out all of the LYB stickers and embellies and went to town!

Thank you Kay for so many inspirational projects with our newest collection. I am pretty sure that you can already find Paradise in your LSS, and if not, then I bet it is on the way. What better way to take a break from the cold snap of winter than to play with a little Paradise???

You can visit Kay's blog How Did I End Up Here for more beautiful work and inspiration from her.

Stick with us this week as we gear up for CHA and share some more projects with our new collections from our Biker Chicks and our Guest Designer Izzy Anderson.

Have a wonderful day!
