New Products and memo holder

Lots of new shapes in the shop today.  Check out all the options for cards with matching envelopes.

Also, I wanted to share this cute project by our design team member Cammie.  I love it.  She made the cutest shopping list.  This would be so cute on the fridge and help it not look like clutter, but instead a decoration in your kitchen.  Great work Cammie.  For more info go to her blog here

happy cutting… Lisa

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

Congratulations Helen!!

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!

Project Life Giveaway!!

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend! I have something super fun in store for you today!

Who loves Project Life? For several years I’ve worked with Becky Higgins as her graphic designer behind the scenes making Project Life…. well come to “life.” For those of you who use Project Life, you realize it can really take the pressure off when it comes to scrapbooking. With this “system” you can simply print your 4×6 photos and document a little information on the journaling cards and then slip them into the super handy divided sheet protectors (that I’ve drawn right down the to millimeter just for you).

I have really enjoyed being part of Project Life. At first it seemed like a “photo-a-day” concept. But, it really is an entire system that simplifies how you think about scrapbooking. You can take as many or as few photos as you’d like, the point is… just get them documented regularly. To date there are 5 editions of “Project Life” that have been brought to the market… Original, Turquoise, Amber, Clementine, and Cobalt. Along with these editions there are sheet protectors, montly dividers, and even patterned paper to work with the system.

Today, I’m giving away a Project Life Kit (thanks to Becky).

Here’s what you need to do by Thursday, April 12 at midnight to enter to WIN:

1. Go “LIKE” my facebook page HERE.
2. Sign up for my email updates (in the right hand column)
3. Leave a comment on this post. (Be sure to leave your first & last name along with your city.)

Here’s what the lucky winner will get:
1. Cobalt Binder
2. Cobalt Core Kit
3. Cobalt Cardstock
4. Big Variety Pack of Photo Pocket Pages

I’ll choose a winner and announce it on Facebook/Blog on Friday.  Good Luck!! Oh, and be sure to stop by Becky Higgins’ blog for more giveaways from her Creative Team this week.

Note: this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents, as the kits will be shipping directly from Amazon.com.

~Download FREE Life Card Files Here~

To THANK YOU for visiting my blog today I’m giving away a FREE set of 3×4 cards that will work beautifully with Project Life. They are sized perfectly to fit in the PL sheet protectors. Of course these would also be super fun on your traditional scrapbooking layouts as well. I’m including several file types for maximum flexibility. Everyone should be able to use these files. Files included are: SVG, DXF, STUDIO, PDF, PNG, and JPG files for you. This way you can print, digital scrapbook or cut them with your cutting machine. I can’t wait to see what you do with them! Feel free to share your creations on my Facebook page.

Have a super fabulous week!

This beautiful 3d flower features 3 different petal styles and a couple leaf sizes.

This cake box makes a great birthday gift or a party favor box. And, YES, the bow is included!

And, who doesn’t love a little slice of cake?? And if you make 10 of these… they make a whole cake… even better!

A darling oval box. My geometry teacher would be proud!

Need a unique envelope for a round card? This box is 5.5″x.5″. Scale it down a little and you have a great box for a CD.

This round box is a great size for a small gift. It’s just a little larger than the box that salt comes in.

Shadow Box and New Shapes

I love coming to work and seeing what Lori has created and then to get these beautiful pictures in my email… eye candy is fabulous!  Look at how beautiful this turned out.  I love how she incorporated the 3D pieces into the shadow box.  You would never know this is made of paper.  For more detailed information check out Krissy’s blog here.
