Apple Orchard

Carolyn King  sent this darling mini album to me the other day and I asked her if I could share it on my blog. Her mini album documents a fall trip to the apple orchard. And, what I love most about Carolyn’s album is that she used so many of my diecut shapes. The shapes she used are currently available in my Silhouette Online Store. If anyone has a different cutting machine and would like me to upload the SVG/DXF files to the Lori Whitlock Store, please contact me and let me know. I hope you enjoy Carolyn’s mini album. Leave her some love by commenting if you are inspired by her project. Have a great Friday!

Letter Box

Linda Auclair has been one of my biggest cheerleaders over the past few months. She’s such a sweetheart! Last week she sent me the photos of this darling letter box that she made out of my Happy Days collection produced by Echo Park Paper. I think it’s quite a clever project and thought you all might want to see it. And, Linda has so thoughtfully written instructions and you can download them HERE. Leave Linda some comments to let her know cool this is! If anyone has projects they’d like me to feature please feel free to send them to me at info@loriwhitlock.com. And, to all my Echo Park fans out there… I’m working on some super awesome new products that I just can’t wait to share with you! Have a great Tuesday!

Happy Life, Crafty Wife and I decided to choose 2 winners for the Halloween Box challenge.
