Lily Bee Design has sneak peeks of their three fabulous new lines. Check them out here. Which do you like the best?

You can alter chipboard many different ways. The Lily Bee scalloped chipboard accents have been cut in half and sanded. The plain chipboard pieces have been covered with patterned paper to coordinate, or painted with acrylic or distress crackle paints.

Supplies: Hello Sunshine papers and chipboard by Lily  Bee Design, French Swirl Voila felt strip by Prima, Flocked and Felt Thickers by American Crafts, sewing machine, black & white cardstock by Bazzill,  Kraft Ticket by Maya Road, chipboard crown & Calendar Rub-on by Maya Road, Tiny Attacher by Advantus, chipboard by Basic Grey, Dash of Red Studio Line Paint by Ranger, Brushed Pewter Distress Crackle Paint by Ranger, Symphony Tissue Tape by Advantus
