Little Yellow Bicycle February/March Sketch

Little Yellow Bicycle's February/March sketch was announced today, and it's a great one!  I was completely excited and honored to have been asked to create this sample layout for it.


My sweet little girl started preschool last week... she's not even quite two yet... I know, right?!  She did fantastically and really enjoyed herself.  I'm so glad!

I knew LYB's Paradise collection would be just perfect for the photos we took of her that morning.  The beautiful colors... the darling prints.... the totally on-the-money phrases on the embellishments... talk about a match made in Heaven (Paradise)!


The paper flower kit is definitely among my favorites.  The flowers come cut, scored, and ready to be personalized.  I LOVE how much time the flower kit saves!  Here I've clustered some flowers with some clear cut shapes, a chipboard sticker, cardstock stickers, and punched butterflies.  I thought the "Adventure" banner sticker made for a wonderful finish to the cluster.


There are so many wonderful embellishments to choose from.  Here I've nestled a small tear-out ticket stating "fly free" among some more flowers, clear cut shapes, and fabric stickers.  I popped the embossed cardstock letter stickers off the page with some foam tape.

Here is the sketch created by the amazing Liz Qualman.  You will probably notice that I've moved a couple of the elements slightly and used a bracket shape instead of a square, but otherwise followed her wonderful sketch.  That's the beauty of sketches... you can use them exactly as they are or just as starting points.

I hope you will have a chance to participate in the challenge.  There will be THREE winners!!!  The grand prize is $50 in LYB product, and the runners up prizes are $25 in LYB product.  You can find all of the details on the LYB blog.

Thank you so much, Liz and Little Yellow Bicycle!
