Layout by Mendi and Cards by Joy

Happy Presidents Day. I am home playing with my kids today and hope you are doing something fun also.  Today we have 2 projects to share with you. First is Mendi, she says…

“Today I thought I would give Lori’s awesome Life Card cutting files a try. I don’t actually keep a Project Life  album, but I just knew these fabulous little cards would also work well for a traditional grid style layout as well.  I decided it would be fun to cut them out with a white tone-on-tone approach, almost making them appear as if they were embossed.  I have to say I love the results!  I especially love how it adds a lot of texture and detail without overwhelming my layout visually.  Swing by my blog today for more detailed shots and design dilemmas I overcame for my layout”.

For This project, I used the following cutting files:
Border Strip Layered (Silhouette Store)
4 Button Set (Silhouette Store)
Arrow Set (Silhouette Store)
3 Circles (Silhouette Store)
Hearts (Silhouette Store)
Next up we have Joy. She has some cute Thank You cards to share with us…

I’m bad about keeping cards on hand.  I usually make them and then use them, so when an event comes up I have to prepare for the event AND make a card.  I’m trying to get ahead so I stop driving myself crazy.  LOL!  I used these two thank you card files by Lori :  “Thank You Card” and “Thank You So Much Card“.  They’re so easy to make!  Did you see that washi tape?  I’m in love with it.  It’s from Lori’s newest Echo Park paper line release:  All About a Boy and Sweet Girl.  All the paper I’m using comes from those lines too.  I used the 6×6 paper pads and shrank my cards down so I could have a few smaller ones on hand.  Whew!  Three thank you cards down…now to make a few birthday ones, hello ones, get well ones, Easter ones…

A Sale & Projects by Corri & Amanda

First things first, I want to tell you about the sale going on loriwhitlock.com

Next up we have 2 of our Creative Team Members sharing projects with you, Corri and Amanda. Corri says…

I love hot air balloons so when I saw Lori’s new hot air balloon card I couldn’t wait to make it. 

This card goes together very easily and would be perfect for almost any occasion.
I used paper from Echo Park – Hello Summer collection which Lori designed.  I love the bright colors on this collection.

Next we have Amanda sharing with us this adorable layout.

I created this page to document the fact that although my little cat likes to pretend she’s grumpy, we often catch her snuggling and grooming our other 2 cats. She’s a big softie, really!
