Splash Pad {a 12x12 LYB/XYRON/MA hop}

Welcome to the May Arts / Little Yellow Bicycle / Xyron Swap!

It's so exciting when great companies get together, and all week long we've been hopping back and forth between the three blogs and the blogs of their designers! Today for May Arts it's Charlene, and myself up to bat! 

The sneak peek that brought you here!

I'm sharing a super graphic 12x12 titled SPLASH PAD -- of my kiddo having fun in the Splash Pad at a local park here in Vegas. 

I used May Arts ribbons Black Burlap String, Yellow Chevron Twill and the Black and White Grosgrain Diagonal Stripes. Both of the thick ribbons have been run through my Xyron sticker maker. The striped yellow paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle. I also used cheesecloth, Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps (Striped Chevron Arrow, Dots line, Line of Chevrons, Be an Adventurer,) UmWowStudio Chipboard (Circles and heart) and Flair, 

Pink Paislee black glitter alphas, Amazing Casting Resin (the white 3D splatter embellishment,) Tattered Angels Glimmer mist (Charcoal and Firefly,) Gauche Alchemy washi tape (Black Script.) a dymo label maker and Canson watercolor paper. 

Good stuff right? Like I said.. great things from great companies!!

Heart & Soul {a 12x12 layout}

Hi Everyone!! Today I'm sharing a beautiful layout by Creative Team member Jess Mutty. 

She's used UmWowStudio's Layered Circles chipboard and Symbol Mash chipboard. 

As well as:

Patterned paper: Pink Paislee, Studio Calico

Cardstock: American Crafts

Mist: Heidi Swapp 

Punchinella: Gauche Alchemy

Stickers: Pink Paislee

Rub ons: Pink Paislee

Stick Pin: Little Yellow Bicycle

Jess says : "I've had my eyes on both the layered circles and this large ampersand since I first saw them!  Sometimes naked chip is exactly the right feeling you want and these pieces inspired the whole page from the color scheme up. I kept to neutral tones and a repeating circle theme throughout.  The chipboard circles were awesome layered on top of the printed circles... subtle but they added great dimension and detail. 

And the ampersand was a super title element! It was large enough to overlap my photo and tie the rest of the title into the white space to the right.  I want more of these!"

I can't get over the gloriousness of the almost clean and simple but just not quite, the beautiful layering and the bold chip!
