The Blog at Lil Lamb's Boutique

Can I get a round of applause...

....for Cheryl and Catherine, the amazingly talented design team here at LLB? Even with the craziness that was this past summer they trudged on and kept the inspiration coming.

We've been chatting and we are at a point where we are considering adding another design team member (or two)! We are still working out the details but would love to hear from you if you would like to be considered for the position. Send me an email or leave a comment on this post with your name, a link to your blog and any other information that you would like us to know. We can't wait to hear from you!

It's been a while but I did a little scrapping this week! Yay! I was asked to do a custom order for some voice recorders. I haven't been taking custom orders because the business side of the shoppe has been consuming me but decided to take these on to try to get back in the groove. It's therapy, right??!

I made this using the new Fancy Pants Dancing Girl Deluxe Kit. This collection is so whimsical and fun to work with!

This next recorder was made using LYB's Safari Girl Deluxe Kit... it even includes the voice recorder! Don't let the name fool you... it's great for babies but is so versatile for other themes as well! Plus, it's on sale right now!

Have a great weekend!

Scribble Scrabble - Lullaby of Birdland

I had the best time using the Scribble Scrabble's Lullaby of Birdland paper kit. What a great variety of birds, whimsical owls and flowers. It was a perfect collection choice for my set of Box Cards project. Close ups of the individual cards and Box Template information can be found here.

The papers are double sided and mix a perfect balance of light to dark colors and bold patterns to more subdued. Even after making the 4 cards with coordinating envelopes and the Card Box, I still have plenty of paper leftover for quite a few cards or a couple layouts.

Since we have been thinking about Christmas ideas here on the blog, you can add this project to the list of wonderful handmade, economical Christmas gifts.

A little gift...

I just love this paper by Bo Bunny...St. Nick...I am still creating with the KIT that Tammy sent me!

I took some scraps and die cut the tags with Spellbinder Nestabilities, colored my image with Copics (can you see the glitter??? It's so hard to capture in photographs... That was drawn with a Copic Atyou Spica. My heart is all a-flutter when I use those. The glitter is micro fine! Here's a tip...all Copic's you can store vertical since they are air tight EXCEPT for the Spica! These need to be stored horizontal so the tips will not clog with the glitter!)

I used ribbon scraps from the kit, along with the Prima Flowers to decorate the top of my gift bag. I cut the green flower apart and used it as "leaves".

The bag is just a glassine bag that I embossed with an embossing folder :0)

Christmas is less than 100 days away! :0)

Bo Bunny ~ St. Nick

So Christmas is only 105 days away. I think I can get a few Christmas cards done this year....if I start NOW. :0)

Vintage Santa's are just my favorite images for Christmas, so when I got this Deluxe Kit from Lil Lambs Boutique, (from Bo Bunny, appropriatly called St. Nick )I had my inspiration!
I know most people love to make scrapbook layouts with kits...but I love cards, so I typically do my cards first...layouts later. But, you could easily make your layout first, then use the scraps to make a few Christmas cards!

I especially love the Prima bling! I cut it apart so I could use it for several projects (yes, you are allowed to cut things....)It's called Prima Holiday Lights Spray...and comes in the kit along with some beautiful lace...

Thanks for taking a peek :0)

Bo Bunny ~ Delilah & Gypsy

It must be Bo Bunny week here at Lil' Lambs Boutique. We have been rockin' the new lines out left and right. I think Bo Bunny really outdid themself for the last half of the year. Here are 2 more fantastic lines with excellent color combinations.

First up, we have the Delilah line. Tammy made a gorgeous kit of the month using this line and amazingly it sold out before I even had a chance to get my layout example done. But don't worry, there are still paper kits left for this line. Isn't the huge flower die cut paper gorgeous!

They also came up with an opposing similar line in their Gypsy paper kit. As you can see here, it worked great for my companion page and you can float each set either feminine or masculine, depending on your scrapping needs. They really are quite versatile.

The papers are all double sided, which I love, because I get twice as many choices. So get to it and let's see what gorgeous creations you make with your new Bo Bunny products.
