Hi there, this is Danielle Flanders here with an idea for those banner stickers!
Happy Wednesday and Welcome to Day 3 of our blog hop. Today's post features our Sketch for May's Sketch Challenge by Ursula Schneider. Let's take a look at her layout she created with the sketch.
I love that she has mixed our older paper from This & That along with Double Dutch and Buttercup. Our papers are so easy to mix and match from line to line.
Here is Maisa's take on the sketch:
I adore how she has cut the doily shapes from our Double Dutch Croquet Paper and embellished them with the Epiphany Crafts Circle Accessory. Maisa also used the Glue Arts 3D Foam Pac to give dimension to our Bag of Bits Banner.
Now we'd love to see YOUR take on this sketch! (And we'll pick one of your pages to win a lovely collection of Lily Bee goodies!) Here's the rules to keep in mind:
*Your layout must use at least two Lily Bee products.
*Post your layout to any gallery or your blog and link the post in the comment section of this post. OR post your layout on our Facebook page. (But not both, please.)
*Be sure and title your post "Lily Bee Sketch Challenge #9" so we can find it easily.
*The deadline for entries is Thursday, May 31st at 9:00 pm PST.
*And of course, be creative and have fun!
Hello! This is Danielle here with my very first post for Lily Bee! I'm honored to be here and hope to inspire you to try something new and exciting in your paper crafting.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Have you been following all the wonderful festive projects each day here on the Lily Bee Blog? It's Julia here, with another fun and holiday project to inspire you.
I love creating banners to decorate my home and the beautiful soft and subtly distressed papers of the Jingle line inspired this vintage style holiday banner. I've strung it across a black painted dresser that I use as a sideboard for a festive look this holiday season.
I started out by creating each triangle pennant from some chipboard. Each triangle measures 4.5" across by 6" deep which is a great size for flexibility. I've used the 12x12 papers but this project will also work using the smaller scaled Tiny Tablets.
After covering each chipboard piece with patterned paper, I stitched around the edges for a little extra detail. Around the bottom edges I've adhered some ruffled lace to add to the vintage look.
To create some fun embellishments for each pennant, I've combined Jingle Index Cards and created sweet little rosettes using patterned paper and the Jingle stickers. If you're looking for greater detail, most of these photos can be clicked on to enlarge them.
After each pennant is created, punch a hole on the top corners of each triangle with a hole punch.
String each pennant together using some ribbon or hem tape.
Decorate your home with your finished banner and enjoy!
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you find joy preparing for the holiday season,

I know that it is common practice to use scraps left over from layouts to make cards, but if you are anything like me, deciding on a card design can be hard work!
I decided to have a go at making a layout, and then lifting that layout, papers and design to make a card. This is what I came up with ...
My layout
One of my favorite parts of scrapbooking is reliving those special moments. Taking a photo & playing around with paper, remembering all the details and all the fun you had in that moment.
Hello Lily Bee fans from a very rainy and cold Sydney...Katja here today showing you a project I had lots of fun doing. I've decorated a Shadow Box for my daughters room with her favorite colors blue, yellow and pink.
First up I've painted all the compartments and outside of the box with crackle paint and after letting it dry (this can take a few hours) put some darker ink over it which will settle in the cracks and give it a bit of a rustic look. I've also painted the front frame with a coat of Glimmer Glaze (you can see bits peeking out from behind the ribbon).
Next all the sides of the compartments were covered with Lily Bee This & That 'Milk Bottle' paper.
The flower in the lower right corner was created by using a 12in strip of paper, cutting all along the strip in small intervals (make sure not to cut all the way through) and then rolling the strip around the end of a thin object (I used a brush but a quilling tool would be even better). Glue the ends together and start bending the little strips over to create your flower.
Here are some close ups of the project. I hope you enjoyed this!

I am in love with the banner trend. I just can't get enough. With Spring on it's way I thought I'd hurry things along and add a fun touch of spring with a banner for my home. Keep reading and I'll show you how I created it.
You'll need some supplies to get started. I've used the new Picket Fence line from Lily Bee Design. It's perfect for Spring & Summer. You can create a banner by creating your own template but I love shortcuts and here I've used a Maya Road chipboard book. Just unclip the metal rings and spread it out and you are good to go. It's not the traditional triangular style banner but I think the unique look is pretty fun.
Lily Bee Supplies Used:
Picket Fence Pattern Paper - Veranda, Cottage Garden, Porch Swing, Fresh Air
Hello Sunshine Chipboard Stickers
Domestic Bliss Rub-ons
Covering the chipboard with the patterned paper will take the most time in this project. Use a liquid adhesive to adhere to the chipboard and then sand away the edges. You can use sandpaper but a small metal file will work great for sanding the tiny notches and details.
Next, stitch the chipboard if you have a sewing machine. Yes. You CAN stitch chipboard and it looks great.
Decide on the word you're going to spell on your banner. I've chosen home and have cut it out with my Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter from Kraft cardstock. If you don't own one, trace some letters or use some purchased chipboard letters. The rub-ons from the Lily Bee Domestic Bliss line work perfectly with my theme.
To add detail to one of the pennants I've covered a little chipboard house in more Picket Fence patterned paper.
It's easy to create your own die cut flowers to coordinate with the project. I love mixing two prints together.
Crumple the petals up in your hand for dimension, arrange them and staple together.
Finish off with some fabric leaves, a button and a Lily Bee chipboard piece.
Add other embellishments throughout your project until you feel that it is finished.
Binding tape or ribbon works great for stringing your banner together. A needle makes it super easy to thread through the holes.
Here's a closeup...
And one more...

Take some time and paper craft for your home. You'll love being able to see your creative projects as you go about your daily life.
Happy creating!
