Digital Life Layouts by Lisa Barrie, Roelien, and Lisa Bell

Welcome to the weekend. We are gearing up for my son’s 18th birthday party tonight. It is hard to believe time has passed so quickly. As I have been lamenting of time passing too quickly, Lori has been creating all sorts of Life Cards, Templates, stamps/brushes etc. I have to admit I have done VERY few digital layouts until I started playing with all her digital Life Templates, Cards, and stamps. While my husband was out of town last week, I pumped out 4 double page layouts for the month of February, easy and fast. Lori’s products made it so easy to capture a fun layout.  Check out some of the layouts our creative team has done.

I am trying to document life, and having the best of time remembering the good, the bad and the ugly. I LOVE the stamps (celebration and everyday) for documenting these crazy days in our life. I don’t care about the weekly title for each layout, but what I do care about is the month. I decided to mark each month with the graphic icon from the Celebration Stamps. That way the month layouts will be tied together. Some of my layouts have only 1 event while others have multiple weeks on one page, because of that, I don’t want the week labels, just the fun graphic. For more detailed pics and info check out my blog.

New Today in Lori Whitlock’s Shop

There are many great and exciting things being created at the Lori Whitlock office. Today I have one of these things to share. Have you seen the Life Templates at Jessica Sprague? There have been some requests for making this available for digital die cut machines: ie Silhouette, Cricut, etc. I have been working on making that possible. All 12 Life Templates are in the shop along with some fun double page layouts that you could also cut out and add to your Project Life books. If you are wanting to create Project Life like pages, but do not want to invest in the page protectors, these grid overlays work great in 12×12 sheet protectors. If you want to make your own project life cards, use the inside shapes and decorate to your hearts content. There are plenty of additional shapes in the shop to personalize your cards.

The 4 Season Layouts, Life is Good Layout,and You Make Me Happy Layout, would be great additions to add between the grid pages of your Project Life books. Just cut these files with your die cut machine, assemble and place in a 12×12 sheet protector. These files sold at Lori Whitlock ARE NOT print and cut files, but SVG’s ready to cut your favorite pattern paper. If you are not a paper scrapbooker, but digital instead, head over to Jessica Sprague and grab these files in layered PSD templates.

Don’t forget about the Valentines Day Sale. You can get 30% off now through Thursday on these new shapes!

Project Life with Christine and Valentine Decor by Natalie

Christine is a girl after my own heart! Organization AND cuteness. Who could ask for more? Have you caught the Project Life bug like many of us? Check out what Christine has done and maybe make a few of your own. Be sure to hop over to her blog because she has great instructions and pictures to help you make your own cute organization. 
I’m working hard at doing a Project Life style album this year for my family.  I have to say that it is very different than the way I normally scrapbook.  Everything from the product, information documented, style, and organization.  So I thought that I would tackle a couple of these issues before it got too late and I was overwhelmed.  I really like to be organized so this was a top priority for me.  Since I don’t have any official PL supplies besides the page protectors, I am having to make everything from scratch.  (I am actually waiting for the Lori Whitlock Honey Collection, Love It!)  (have to say, so am I)
When I can, I have been cutting journaling cards or design elements and I needed somewhere to store them.  I came across this Crate with Handle Box file in Lori’s store and thought it would be the cutest box to keep all of those cards in.  They were also so easy to put together.  

Here are a couple of things that I have been collecting for future weeks of Project Life.  The die cuts that you see are called 5 Chevrons and are new in the shop!  
Natalie has created an amazing chalkboard decoration for her home.
As Valentines Day gets close, I get more and more in the mood to make hearts, cookies and just fun stuff.  The other day I went to Home Depot, looking for “something” to make a Valentine sign for my front porch, but, came back with a giant chalkboard.  They had pre-made chalkboard and even dry erase boards that I knew needed to come home with me.  So this project was born.
Since I didn’t have to cut wood or paint, this came together really fast.  I just picked some of my favorite Valentine files from Lori’s shop, and cut them out of hot pink, light pink and white vinyl.    This thing is big, 2 feet by 4 feet actually.  So my vinyl shapes were big too… I took out the you from the phrase file, and added a little heart to the O.  It turned out so cute, and my kids loved it when they saw it, and lots of little pictures and words have already been drawn all over it.  I plan on changing it once a day until Valentines.  I’ve already been asked numerous times when it’s their turn to be on the board!  Happy Valentines!
All the files I used were from Lori Whitlock’s store:
I love you because phrase found here
Valentine borders 2 found here
3 Banner set found here

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!
