Lily Bee Design

Purging, re-arranging, and painting have been going on around my house this summer. I guess you could say I am living out a reality television house makeover show where I am not only the one that needs help, but also the designer helping the poor helpless soul.

My home makeover got me thinking… how many of you are addicted to a good make-over show? Not just for the useful tips for your home but also the inspiration that it brings to your paper crafting?

Pebbles by Pamela Young

Supplies: Paper, Rub-Ons: Lily Bee Design, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Chipboard: American Crafts, Lace: Rusty Pickle, Floss: DMC, Branch: Prima Marketing Font: Handwriting Dakota.

Design Notes: Sometimes I look at my finished page and think it needs a little something more. One thing I like to do, which I did here, is cut off the top and the bottom of the page and then layer a border behind them.

Journaling: How can you not smile at Eryn's cute "Pebbles" hair. And she loves it.

Oh Happy Day by Lindsey Krauss

Supplies: Alphabet Stickers: White Blossom, Rub-Ons: Lily Bee Design, Brads: Making Memories, Around the Block, Pens: Sakura, Staple Bar: EK Success, Other: embossed cardstock, ribbon. Tools: Stapler: The Fastenator (EK Success).

Design Notes: The colors in the Lily Bee Design rub-on were so current and versatile, that I easily paired it with some ancient supplies: I pulled out The Fastenator and some beautiful old brads and ribbon.

Journaling: McKenna, age 4.

Happy by Stacey Michaud

Supplies: Paper, Rub-ons, Flower: Lily Bee Design, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Alphabet: American Crafts, Buttons: BasicGrey, Chipboard: Jenni Bowlin Studio. Tools: Punch: Martha Stewart Crafts.

Design Notes: I fell in love with the rub-ons and knew that I wanted them to be an integral part of my design. I decided to use them all along the top of my page in substitution of journaling. I used a heart punch to create the petals of the flowers.
