Digital Goodies by Heather and Lisa

Today at Jessica Sprague Lori has a new kit available, Valentine Brushes. This kit will be on sale at Jessica Sprague through the weekend, so be sure and grab it while it is on sale. These brushes are great for both Valentine projects as well as a way to showcase things you love, like Heather did.  She created this beautiful layout. Heather said …

I wanted to use the Valentine Brushes in an unexpected way, so I used them to scrap about my favorite season… Spring. There’s just something about Spring that makes me happy. Warmer weather, brighter colors, and let’s not forget the fabulous flowers! It’s no wonder that Spring makes me smile. 
Go check out her blog here for more information. 
Lisa also created an adorable project using these brushes.  I love what these 2 have done. Lisa says…

I created a pocket card filled with heart shaped confetti using Lori’s new Valentine brushes and her Kiss Me papers and elements. Come see my blog for tips on how to recreate this project for a Valentine’s Day card or your Valentine Project Life layout.

 

Valentines by Amanda and Corri

Do you ever handmake Valentine cards for your loved ones? Amanda has given me a reason to think about doing just that. She used Lori’s “love” life card and created these beautiful life cards with solid cardstock. I would love to make one for each of my kids and my hubby and sneak them into their lunches. 

Next we have Corri sharing with us the Conversation Heart Box…

I’ve already started thinking about things my kids can give their classmates for Valentine’s Day. 

I love this Conversation Heart Box from Lori Whitlock.    This would be so fun filled with some M&Ms or Jelly Beans.  I cut it at full size (finished size if 4″h x 3″w) but you could reduce the size a little and still have plenty of room for treats. 

This pretty pattern paper is from the Echo Park – Love Story Collection.  I love this paper….so pretty and it can be used for things other than Valentine’s Day. I embellished my box with some of these flowers and a couple of sticker from the paper collection.

Valentine Goodies by Christine and Natalie

I want to share with you some adorable Valentines projects. I LOVE these and want to make some of my own.  Christine says
Looking through the Valentine section in Lori’s store, I was immediately drawn to this Valentine card set.  Just as they are, they are beautiful cards, but I also saw what a little bling and extras could do to make them sparkle.
Here is a sneak peek of each card.  I used the pattern paper Love Story by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park and added glitter cardstock, gems, and ribbon.
Christine has GREAT tutorials and instructions on her Blog about these cards, so be sure to hop over and check it out.   
Next I have Natalie’s project to share with you. She used the Heart Pocket. It will be in the shop by the end of the day, but can be found in the Silhouette store now. Natalie has more pictures and info on her blog so be sure on check it out, until then, Natalie says…
Happy Tuesday everyone!  I have a little project for you today that will sweeten anyones day!  On Valentines Day, we always like to make a special dinner for the kids.  We make chocolate waffles with raspberry syrup.  It’s something my kids look forward to every year.  And lets face it, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?   
I made these little pockets last year for our Valentines dinner, which I slipped a little note to tell them all the reasons I loved them.  But this year, I am going to put them out early so I can fill them with notes all  month long.  After I made them, I tied them to the backs of their chairs a the table.  They made my table look so festive, and how fun is it to get love notes every day!
Echo Parks Be Mine collection found here
Lori’s heart pocket file found here
added some bakers twine to tie them to the chair
Ladies, thank you for sharing your talents with us. These are beautiful!
