February Blog Hop

Have you missed seeing our Creative Team goodness this week? Well, we have a lot of talent to share with you today. Lori has recently released some double page layouts in both SVG and Digital Scrapbooking/PSD format. I want you to see what you can do with these different files and our creative team has so happily obliged, told you they were the best.

First the SVG’s, these files are designed to be used with Silhouette machines and can be found here in Lori’s shop. After opening the file you will see how the layout is assembled. Ungroup the pieces, sort and cut from your favorite pattern paper/cardstock. Assemble all pieces onto background paper (not included in cutting file) and VOILA, a beautiful layout to add to your scrapbook. Pieces can be moved around and placed/used any way your heart desires.

SVG FILES in Lori’s Shop

IF you are not a die cut kind of paper crafter, these files also come as digital scrapbooking kits, and are found at here at Jessica Sprague . They have been created as layered PSD’s, which means you can use the pieces as clipping masks in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop. These are ready for you to add your favorite pattern papers, ribbons and photos and the layouts are done.

PSD FILES in the Jessica Sprague Store

We created these layouts with the idea that you could throw these into your Project Life albums and mix it up a bit. The smaller photos slots are 3×4, which is a perfect fit for any of Lori’s Life Cards in her shop both here and at Jessica Sprague.

Without further ado, please let me show you the order of our blog hop today. These ladies are truly amazing and have shown you different ways to use these layouts, both digital format and SVG’s.  When you are done be sure to come back here and leave a comment so you can be entered in our drawing for a $20 gift card to Lori’s shop. She has amazing shapes there and more coming each week.

New Today in Lori Whitlock’s Shop

There are many great and exciting things being created at the Lori Whitlock office. Today I have one of these things to share. Have you seen the Life Templates at Jessica Sprague? There have been some requests for making this available for digital die cut machines: ie Silhouette, Cricut, etc. I have been working on making that possible. All 12 Life Templates are in the shop along with some fun double page layouts that you could also cut out and add to your Project Life books. If you are wanting to create Project Life like pages, but do not want to invest in the page protectors, these grid overlays work great in 12×12 sheet protectors. If you want to make your own project life cards, use the inside shapes and decorate to your hearts content. There are plenty of additional shapes in the shop to personalize your cards.

The 4 Season Layouts, Life is Good Layout,and You Make Me Happy Layout, would be great additions to add between the grid pages of your Project Life books. Just cut these files with your die cut machine, assemble and place in a 12×12 sheet protector. These files sold at Lori Whitlock ARE NOT print and cut files, but SVG’s ready to cut your favorite pattern paper. If you are not a paper scrapbooker, but digital instead, head over to Jessica Sprague and grab these files in layered PSD templates.

Don’t forget about the Valentines Day Sale. You can get 30% off now through Thursday on these new shapes!

Project Life with Christine and Valentine Decor by Natalie

Christine is a girl after my own heart! Organization AND cuteness. Who could ask for more? Have you caught the Project Life bug like many of us? Check out what Christine has done and maybe make a few of your own. Be sure to hop over to her blog because she has great instructions and pictures to help you make your own cute organization. 
I’m working hard at doing a Project Life style album this year for my family.  I have to say that it is very different than the way I normally scrapbook.  Everything from the product, information documented, style, and organization.  So I thought that I would tackle a couple of these issues before it got too late and I was overwhelmed.  I really like to be organized so this was a top priority for me.  Since I don’t have any official PL supplies besides the page protectors, I am having to make everything from scratch.  (I am actually waiting for the Lori Whitlock Honey Collection, Love It!)  (have to say, so am I)
When I can, I have been cutting journaling cards or design elements and I needed somewhere to store them.  I came across this Crate with Handle Box file in Lori’s store and thought it would be the cutest box to keep all of those cards in.  They were also so easy to put together.  

Here are a couple of things that I have been collecting for future weeks of Project Life.  The die cuts that you see are called 5 Chevrons and are new in the shop!  
Natalie has created an amazing chalkboard decoration for her home.
As Valentines Day gets close, I get more and more in the mood to make hearts, cookies and just fun stuff.  The other day I went to Home Depot, looking for “something” to make a Valentine sign for my front porch, but, came back with a giant chalkboard.  They had pre-made chalkboard and even dry erase boards that I knew needed to come home with me.  So this project was born.
Since I didn’t have to cut wood or paint, this came together really fast.  I just picked some of my favorite Valentine files from Lori’s shop, and cut them out of hot pink, light pink and white vinyl.    This thing is big, 2 feet by 4 feet actually.  So my vinyl shapes were big too… I took out the you from the phrase file, and added a little heart to the O.  It turned out so cute, and my kids loved it when they saw it, and lots of little pictures and words have already been drawn all over it.  I plan on changing it once a day until Valentines.  I’ve already been asked numerous times when it’s their turn to be on the board!  Happy Valentines!
All the files I used were from Lori Whitlock’s store:
I love you because phrase found here
Valentine borders 2 found here
3 Banner set found here
11 Hearts found here
