Thank you Gifts by Natalie and Christine

Hello – man is it cold outside.  I am such hermit when it is cold outside, it’s got to be important for me to head out in the cold.
I also am also always looking for gift to say thanks, so when I saw this cute snowman file at Lori’s shop, I just had to make one.  I used Lori’s Winter Park collection from Echo Park, which is a great collection for those frosty projects.  I also used her Snowman tote file, found here, to make this cute little bag, just perfect filled with some warm hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows.  Then I added a quick tag with ribbon and twine.  This would warm up anyones day! Check out her blog here.

 

After the excitement of the holidays dies down, it’s time to start thinking about thank you cards.  My family received so many wonderful things from our extended family, I wanted to make a special thank you card for each of them.

Please stop by my blog to get all of the details on exactly how I made each card and envelope.  You will be making up a batch of your own in no time.

Project Life Honey Edition

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to show you a project I’ve been working on. Today Becky Higgins announced all the new Project Life products that you’ll find releasing at CHA this weekend. You all know I’ve been involved with Project Life since the beginning. I designed the original Cherry Edition and the Amber Edition. Recently, I designed the 3 Childhood Mini Kits. Today I’m proud to present the Honey Edition Core Kit to you. The Honey Edition features a bright and lively palette with timeless words and graphics that that will add a fun “pop” to your Project Life album. Becky has shown you part of the kit, but if you’re dying to see more you’ve come to the right place. Below you can see all the journaling cards and dividers that are part of this SUPER FUN edition. The Honey Edition will be available this spring. I can’t wait! Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of the Honey Edition.

I’m leaving for CHA on Thursday. Hopefully I’ll see some of you there on Saturday and Sunday while I’m at the show. As usual, I’ll be at the Echo Park booth debuting my new paper collections. Be sure to drop by and say HI! Have a super day!

 

Scrapbooking Layout by Mendi and Joy

“This was my first time creating a traditional layout almost exclusively with digital papers and it opened up a whole new world to me!  I love how I was able to print just the amount of paper I needed for my specific needs and how this cute paper set works for both holiday and winter snow themes.  Check out my blog today to see how I was able to minimize paper waste and saved on ink.”
Joy says: “I don’t often make layouts but this one is so cute, I just had to try it!  If you’re like me and don’t do much scrapbooking you might consider trying the Sweet Layout, filling it with digital color and adding a special photo.  It was a fun and easy way to make an adorable decorative item that also is very memorable for our family.  I used the Silhouette software to color the different layers of the file.  Next, I imported the photo I wanted to use and added text about our trip.  I printed it out and used my Silhouette to cut the image.  I decided to duplicate that pretty shape you see as my border and cut it out using a thin chipboard.  Using Lori’s new “Love Story” line of paper with Echo Park, I cut a pretty background to cover the chipboard and glued it down.  Pop dots helped me raise my photo scrapbook image for added dimension.  I just love the way this turned out!  It’s now living happily on my mantel.  Perfect for this time of year!”
Thanks ladies, your projects look great!
