Squash Album by Traci and Summer Cards by Mendi

Hi everyone! Traci here. For today’s project I used Lori’s adorable Squash Album.  I have been wanting to create a small keepsake for a few of my favorite photos from the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk I did a few years ago.  The squash album is fun to put together, small enough to carry in your purse, and would even make a great little card for the top of a gift!
 
When you are creating this cute little pop-open album, you can place a piece of twine or ribbon between the back paper and chipboard so that it wraps around, ties in the front, and keeps your album closed.
The paper and stickers I used in this album were also designed by Lori for Echo Park — Here & Now is a beautiful new collection full of pinks, blues, butterflies and fun phrases.  Love it!
Fully opened, the album has lots of space to be creative!  You can add photos and stickers as I’ve done here, or you can write notes, add card sentiments, or even make the triangle pieces into little pockets for tucking in a surprise.  You’ll have fun with this one!
Please stop by my blog and say hi!  I would love to hear your creative ideas for this project!
Mendi here today sharing some fun Spring and Summer themed cards that I’ve made in recent months using Lori’s fun cutting files and various paper collections!
This first one uses one of my favorite papers from Lori’s older Summer Days Collection which she designed for Echo Park. I also utilized her SVG Cutting Files Spring Is Here Title, 6 Clouds & 9 Starburst Seal Set (for the sun).
For my second card I turned to Echo Parks Dots and Stripes Neapolitan Collection and Lori’s adorable Ice Cream Cone cutting image. I spelled out the word “cool” using her Happy Font.
My last card uses Lori’s Hello Summer collection which she also designed for Echo Park (and just so happens to be the theme of my blog). 😉 I paired her Summer Fun Titles and 6 Clouds with a fun sunshine sticker from the collection pack.
I hope I’ve succeeded in spreading a little sunshine your way!

Silhouette Tutorial by Mendi

Today I thought I would share one of my new favorite techniques that I utilized on this fun layout about my daughter dressed as a butterfly fairy from last Halloween (although I think this butterfly theme would work so well for Spring and Summer projects too).

The focus of my layout (and my tutorial today) is this beautiful butterfly cutting file which I enlarged to take center stage on my layout.

Below is my video tutorial (For the clearest picture, please click on the gear in the bottom right portion of the screen and select one of the HD options).

To complete my layout I used the following cutting files designed by Lori Whitlock:

Borders (Silhouette Store only)
7 Borders, Tabs & Corners (Silhouette Store only)
Butterfly (Silhouette Store only)
