A Sale & Projects by Corri & Amanda

First things first, I want to tell you about the sale going on loriwhitlock.com

Next up we have 2 of our Creative Team Members sharing projects with you, Corri and Amanda. Corri says…

I love hot air balloons so when I saw Lori’s new hot air balloon card I couldn’t wait to make it. 

This card goes together very easily and would be perfect for almost any occasion.
I used paper from Echo Park – Hello Summer collection which Lori designed.  I love the bright colors on this collection.

Next we have Amanda sharing with us this adorable layout.

I created this page to document the fact that although my little cat likes to pretend she’s grumpy, we often catch her snuggling and grooming our other 2 cats. She’s a big softie, really!

Wedding Layout by Mendi

I seriously cannot get over how cute Lori’s “Love Story” line by Echo Park is, so when I saw this adorable layout by Mendi I was already in love. I have mostly boys and don’t like the ruffly girly look all the time but this collection and layout totally rock in my eyes. Mendi says…

For today’s layout I turned to more wedding photos that were just begging to be scrapbooked after over a decade of sitting in my photo box!  Lori has so many great heart shapes that I had fun mixing and matching in different styles and sizes.  I was excited to discover that the damask heart set is nearly a perfect match for the black and white patterned paper found in the Love Story paper collection!  Check out my blog today for more tips on getting extra mileage from border cutting files like I did on this layout.”
For this layout I used the following cutting files:
3 Tabs (silhouette store)
2 Borders (silhouette store)

 

 

Gifts by Corri and a layout by Amanda

Today Corri is here sharing a beautiful card and purse set. She always does such a great job. Corri says…

I have a cute card and gift bag that I made using the Echo Park – For the Record 2 Documented collection that Lori designed. 

For my card I layered some of the pattern papers and a doily that I purchased in the baking section at my local craft store.  I cut two butterflies using my Cameo from Lori’s 3 butterflies files.   I embossed the yellow one with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder and added some glitter to the turquoise one. 

For the little gift bag, I cut the party purse and added a pretty layered flower from this set.

This would be a great little thank you gift or a little pick me up for a friend.  You could up some sweet treats or a gift card in the little bag. 

Next I have a beautiful layout by Amanda, it even uses pictures of Amanda, isn’t she beautiful! I added the black borders for our sake to see the edges of the layout. Amanda says…

I created this layout using the Love Story line by Echo Park and Valentine’s banners, valentine’s embellishments, and love tickets.

Valentine Goodies by Mendi and Joy

We have such an amazing Creative Team. They have shared with us many beautiful Valentines Day projects and today is no different. Mendi has this adorable layout for us. She says…

“I had so much fun using Lori’s new Love Story collection and great cutting files on this layout of my little sister’s wedding.  I think it’s become a bit of a personal challenge for me to see how many of Lori’s patterns and cutting files I can fit on a layout without feeling overwhelmingly busy and today I was able to fit 7 different diecuts!  It makes me realize more than ever that next to paper and adhesive, a digital diecutting machine is really a must have tool!   You can see more details about my design at my blog today.”
Here’s a complete list of all the shapes I used:
3 Lace Borders  (Silhouette Store)
You Are Loved Phrase  (Silhouette Store)
Next I have a fun project from Joy. This would make an adorable decoration in your home. Joy has great instructions on her blog so be sure and take a peek. Joy says…
What goes great with any Valentine’s decor?  Candles!  I thought it would be fun to use the Kissy Lips file along with the XOXO from the Valentine’s Set to help me set a festive mood.  I cut the lips and XOXO in alternating pink and red vinyl and then applied them to the votive holders, which I found at my local craft store.  Next, I popped in some votive candles and I was all done!  I just love the way they look on my mantel.  Actually, I like looking at them so much that I keep moving them from room to room!  LOL!  You’ll have fun creating with these files too!
