LYB in the House!

Did you see? I won't the Little Yellow Bicycle Generation Z contest! I am SO excited! It was a great way to kick off my vacation, too. And it was even better that Lori called me personally. I am always amazed at the designers behind the paper, I think sometimes we just see the final project and forget that there is a person behind it, that created it and that it means something to them to see what other people create with it. I bet that would be cool. But since I have zero graphic design abilities, I will stick with just buying and using it on my projects ;)

I know I have said this before but I love love love gray. I wanted to paint our bedroom gray but Brian refused! And he normally lets me do whatever I want, LOL! Gray is my new black so when I saw this line with the rust and teal accents I fell in love with it. And Kristen was the master behind the kit so make sure you get yours here at Serendipity Scrapbooks.

Here is the mini album I made for the contest. It is about Owen's wrestling this year. I got some shots from a few of the tournaments and these papers just screamed make me a wrestling album! Besides the LYB Generaztion Z papers, I used Core'dinations Cardstock, MLS letters, pretty much all the goodies from the kit and Helmar 450 Quick dry adhesive and Zap dots. {the Quick dry is aWeSoMe on acetate}.

One of the reasons I like this line, too was that the papers had all these great words on them for me to cut out! You know how I love to cut...so I sat down and cut all the words and sayings I liked first and then used them in the ablum.

Some Cuttlebug embossing on here....

The papers from the LYB Gen Z line are perfect for journaling. I am not sure if you know anything about wrestling but it is intense and these kids are young. 5-6-7 years old and going out there, all alone, on a mat in front of 100's of people! are you kidding? I was nervous enough on a field with 10 other players, LOL! So it just amazes me what these kids can do, win or lose. And I hope that Wrestling and sports in general teaches owen the things it taught me about being part of a team and the competitive spirit.

I used the Acetate sheets as additional pages by cutting them down to match the album.

i LOVE this photo of the dads and coaches on the mat just watching, hoping, holding back...all those things we do when we prepare ourselves to "let go".

I know that was photo heavy so thanks for looking and letting me be excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!
