Ombre Layout by Mendi

Spring Break is over and it’s back to work. What a happy layout to welcome me back today. I absolutely adore Mendi’s layout! What a great way to capture a current trend in your scrapbooks. Thanks Mendi, this is great! …Lisa
“For today’s layout I thought I would try the ever so popular “ombre” effect that is popping up everywhere these days!  I started my project by searching through my stash for every pink patterned paper I could find in the same color family and then lined them up from lightest to darkest.  I altered Lori’s star button to become my outline and filled it with her darling scalloped border to carry out this fun effect.  Swing by my blog for a mini tutorial on how I accomplished this”. 
I used the following cutting files designed by Lori:
8 Buttons (Star shape)
Baby Icon Set (Scalloped Border)
Last but not least, don’t forget, you have until midnight tonight.

Thank You Card by Natalie

Today we have a beautiful Thank You card by Natalie…
The other day I was in need of a thank you cards for some cute neighbors.  They needed to be signed by a group of girls, so they needed to be big enough to hold lots of comments.  So I made these cute mini albums which turned out to be the perfect thank yous.
I used Lori’s mini album with the round end found here.  I love that it comes with files for all the middle pages, but a little binding piece and a cover for the front.  I cut it out with Echo Park‘s For the Record 2, which had the perfect embellishments to cover the front and back pages.  I filled them full of blank pages and handed out each page to all the girls who were writing notes, then took all them and bound it into a cute book.  I hope that these become a treasure for the recipients of the books and know how much we love them!

Easter Basket and Carrots by Corri

Corri is here today sharing an adorable Easter project with us, she says…

Lori Whitlock just added this adorable carrot box to the Silhouette Store. I just love it and couldn’t wait to cut it.

I cut the carrots as sized in the file.   I embossed the green tops with the Cuttlebug D’Vine Swirls embossing folder. I cut this adorable 3d Easter Basket at 10″ wide so I could fit the carrots inside.  I probably should have gone a little larger .  This basket it so cute…it just takes to brads to hold it together.

The paper on my project today is all from Echo Park – All about a Boy.
