Xyron, Little Yellow Bicycle and May Arts - Day Five and a Giveaway!

We are so sad to say goodbye to our Xyron, Little Yellow Bicycle (LYB) and May Arts blog hop - but this week has been AMAZING.  If you missed any of the days you will want to go back and take a look at the incredible projects our Design Team created.  We have been inspired - and we've got one last day of crafty goodness to share with you!

It is all about the mini album today - and Gini Cagle made a fabulous one using the NEW (to be released in July) Xyron High Tack Tape and High Tack Adhesive Dots.  Head on over to her blog for a tutorial...and check out her darling layout she posted yesterday that also uses LYB and May Arts.  Gorgeous!!

The bright colors of Stacy Rodriguez's mini album just make every little detail pop against the white cardstock.  We love all the little details - and on her blog today she shares some tips for creating this on your own.

The patterns of the LYB Poppy collection lend themselves beautifully to home decor items - and Jessica Barnett shows us just how beautiful they can be with this charming altered frame.  Jessica didn't stop there though - head on over to her blog for a cute tag, little mini album (see - you knew we'd tie it all together!) and more.

We've got a HUGE prize pack to end the week - one lucky winner on EACH blog is going to win a prize pack that includes 2 spools of May Arts ribbon, the entire LYB Vintage Summer collection, and a Xyron 5" Creative Station! To enter our giveaway, just leave a comment here on the blog and we will announce the winner on the Xyron Facebook Page on Monday.  Head on over to the LYB and May Arts blogs for information on how to enter their giveaways as well (and check out their beautiful projects).  Good luck - and have a great weekend!

Welcome to Day Four of the Xyron, Little Yellow Bicycle (LYB) and May Arts blog hop! We have been having a TON of fun this week - thanks so much for joining us!

We are totally blown away by the way Van Nguyen used the LYB Poppy collection as inspiration, and also used the collection in her layout!  Head on over to her blog to read more about how she did it, and to see two cute additional little gift ideas she created - including a beautiful hair clip made with May Arts ribbon!

The LYB Naturals collection is perfect for any project - and Courtney Lee shows us just how perfect with these fabulous cards!

We love smash books and mini albums - and Shannon Morgan made us so happy with these fabulous pages! We love how she just used bits and pieces of the LYB patterned papers and embellishments and the May Arts ribbon to create such colorful images.  Thanks Shannon!

Xyron, Little Yellow Bicycle and May Arts - Day Three and a Giveaway!

We hope you've been enjoying the Xyron, Little Yellow Bicycle (LYB)and May Arts blog hop as much as we have! We have been so inspired by all the wonderful projects - come check out what our Design Team members have in store for you today.

If you love doodling and creating your own art then Jen Goode's project is for you! She made this SUPER cool wall art collage using the LYB Poppy Collection - and on her blog she shares some tips on how to create your own.

Ann Corbiere-Scott also tried her hand at doodling with this fun journaling on her scrapbook page!

Ever thought about using May Arts ribbon as a border on your scrapbook layouts?  We hadn't either until Marjie Kemper shared this project with us.  The blue gingham ribbon on the left side of the layout adds just the right amount of texture and detail.

We are always looking for ways to incorporate our crafting supplies in to everyday (practical) projects, and Viki Tiamat came up with one of the neatest ones we've seen in a long time - a behavior chart!  Head on over to her blog to see how she used LYB embellishments to create this fun chart for her daughter...and learn how to make one yourself!

The May Arts blog and Little Yellow Bicycle blog have shared some AMAZING projects this week - AND don't forget all three blogs are hosting giveaways each day.  Stop by both and check out the crafty goodness!
We are giving away a Xyron Mega Runner every day this week - to enter simply leave a comment here on the blog.  The winner will be announced on the Xyron Facebook Page on Thursday.  Good luck!
