Scrapbooking product needs to grow up before our very eyes along with our children, and for those of us who started out with moons with faces and paper pieced teddy bears 6+ years ago for our toddler pages, are now starting to need designs a lot like these ones. Little Yellow Bicycles Generation Z product range include ‘awesome’ papers, stickers, 3d stickers and alphas designed for the skate park, the bmx track, the guitar hero loving tween or teen in our lives.
Suz loved this range and so did Alex – it’s the first time he’s shown an active interest in scrapbooking himself as she lost the fabulous blue and silver checkerboard paper in the line to his graffiti/art. When he finishes she’ll probably swipe it to add to his album.
Shhh! don't tell Caz's son Jesse that she has really put a flower on a layout with his blokey looking birthday photos, she told him it was a swirl. lol. Caz hangs onto some of the more funky looking tags that come off her kids clothing just for times like this. The Bad Bay tag really suited the pictures and when paired with the blue in Jesse's shirt, matched the Lucky Me range by Little Yellow Bicycle perfectly.
The Lucky Me range has some of the most gorgeous rich coloured papers and accents. Many of them made even more special with hints of gold through them.
Caz decided that the Generation Z range from Little Yellow Bicycle was the perfect range for this simple album she has created listing her sons accidents and hospitalizations so far. The paper tablet was the perfect place to start. Caz used the cardboard from the back of the paper tablet as her front cover. Covering it with one of the papers she then added a vinyl cut-out, a dimensional sticker and one of the journaling spots.
To create the pages she simply folded each one over at the bottom and stuck them down so that the pages were different sizes and as they are double sided they ended up with a contrasting bit on the end. Some were left full length and others were cut in half.
Journaling spots, stickers, rub-ons and random alphabets completed the pages. And the beauty of this style of album is that you can add plenty of pages as you go. Jesse is only 8 and there are already 6 double pages in the album. Caz is hoping that things may slow down a bit or she will have to purchase bigger hinged rings.
We have Greta Hammond from Northern Indiana to thank for these cool layouts using Little Yellow Bicycles new Generation Z range. She has this to say about the products.
Gen Z is really a great line with bold colors and patterns. There is a great mix of patterns, shapes and textures in the embellishments. It's very easy to get a number of different looks from this line.
For the "Just Be" layout, I combined the clear cut frame over my photo and then started layering other pieces on top. I stuck with the grey/black/yellow colors on this layout to go along with the music theme.
For the "Risk Taker" layout, I used another Clear Frame to emphasize my photo and then blended in other clear cut pieces to frame it even more. I chose turqouise and orange colors for high energy feel, a completely different feel from the the previous layout but all within the same line.
Caz and alot of the other girls in the design team fell in love with this display of ATC's (Artists Trading Cards) created by the talented Alexandra S.M. from the USA. She has used a 7Gypsies ATC tray and one of the new collections from My Little Yellow Bicycle called LUCKY ME. Seriously gorgeous!
Alexandra also created this cute album using the Traveler range from Little Yellow Bicycle. She has created an album with a concertina spine containing pages which act as envelopes. Into these envelopes she has inserted mini pages containing photos and journaling. Thanks for sharing these lovely projects with is Alexandra.
