Krissy has been busy creating end of year teacher gifts. Look at all her beautiful projects made with Echo Park’s “Hello Summer” designed by Lori. She used so many cut files I don’t know where to begin. First is the “Purse 2” that she created at actual size as well as resized larger, which is available in the shop. Most the other files are available in the silhouette store. Check out Krissy’s blog for much more detail about each of her projects. Happy crafting… Lisa

Helen Bush from Seville, Ohio you are the winner of the Project Life Giveaway!

Next, on the order of business… I’m so excited to share with you some of our design team projects. They have been hard at work showcasing some of our new files. First up is Joy’s basket. She used the “Woven Basket” file.
I love how she used 2 different papers for the woven part. Look at how the basket starts as these pieces.
Thanks Joy, this is beautiful. For more detailed instructions, go to her blog here
Another project Joy did was this adorable teacher gift. She used the “3 Easter Eggs” file. What a fun way to display the die cuts. I love how she used pencils to display the eggs. So clever Joy! Go here for more information on how she made these.
The last eye candy I have to share with you today is made by Corri. Corri used the “Birthday Cake Box” as well as other files from Lori for the card. You can visit Corri’s blog here for more info. As always ladies, GREAT JOB! The design team is so talented and we are so lucky to have them. Have a great Friday and a fabulous weekend!
Have you seen my new “Note to Self” collection that’s now available from Echo Park Paper?
Keep reading for a chance to WIN it!!
Note to Self was inspired by office supplies, retro imagery, with a little “hip” flair mixed in. Wrap all that up with a warm color palette and you’ve got an excellent canvas for scrapbooking and paper crafting. It’s somewhat of a mixed media kit giving you a fun variety of patterns with a few splashes of color to keep it interesting. Combine your beautiful photos to the imagery and icons found in this collection and you’re sure to have a one of a kind treasure to help keep your memories alive. I had a blast creating “Note to Self” and I hope you all enjoy using it.
So, who would like to WIN one of two Note to Self Collection Kits? To be entered to WIN simply:
It’s that easy! I’ll choose TWO winners on Monday, April 2 and post it on my blog. (I’d choose sooner, but I’m attending my nieces wedding this weekend)
Have a great day!
First matter of business is to introduce myself. I am Lisa Bell, Lori’s assistant. We have worked together a few different times and been friends since. I am here to lighten Lori’s load by doing the busy work so she can keep designing all those awesome projects and shapes we all love. I am honored to be working with such a talented lady and friend. Now that you know who I am, I can gush about all her awesomeness. It really isn’t her talking about herself, she would never do that, but I can! I am happy to be here and sharing these awesome products with you.
Here in the office we hope you are having a wonderful Leap Day. Are you doing anything special to mark this special day? Don’t forget to document it so you can remember these fun times, they pass so quickly. Just a reminder, today is the last day of our sale. Use BDAY25 as the coupon code at checkout to get 25% off your order. This is a great way to get the “Build an Album Set” or “Build a Banner” to document this fun day. Everything is on sale, so head to the store to grab your favorite shapes.
I would like to share with you these beautiful canvases by Cammie. I love the calming colors she used to accent the title and the butterfly, both diecuts by Lori. 
Her second canvas focused on Lori’s teapot shape. I love text on anything, so this these are pure joy to me. More detailed instructions on creating both of these canvases can be found at Cammie’s blog. Thanks Cammie for these great projects. The diecut shapes used can be found in the store. 
Hope your Leap Day is fabulous, Lisa
