Spring Fever

Natalie has so many beautiful projects to share with us today. She has finished unpacking so now the fun projects can begin. First is this beautiful “Necklace Box.” I love how she added a tag to the center to personalize it. Natalie says “My first project was some gifts I gave away for mothers day to my kids “other” mothers.  I found a tutorial for these super cute momma bird necklaces, and knew between that and a super cute box, it would be a rockin’ gift.  I used Lori Whitlock’s hello Summer paper collection from Echo Park and her cute necklace box file, then topped it off with a cute flower found here.”

Next I have these beautiful pots she has created with vinyl.

And finally this beautiful countdown chalkboard for the kids favorite day of the year.

Thanks Natalie for all your inspiration. I am anxious to go create. For more pictures and information, you can view her blog here. Until next time, happy crafting… Lisa

Cards, cards, cards

Today I want to share with you what the talented Carolyn has been up to. She has a few cards she has created using papers and shapes that Lori has designed.  First is this teacher card that uses Echo Park’s “Charming” collection.  I love that it is more mature looking yet still has the school feel, great job Carolyn.

Next is this adorable card from Echo Park’s “Hello Summer” collection. The paper and tree were designed by Lori.  I love how Carolyn wrapped the leaves with the twine, cleaver idea.

Finally is this simple yet beautiful card. I love the white space surrounding the birdhouse. Thanks Carolyn, these are beautiful, as always.  She has posted more info for these cards on her blog here
