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!

 

Christmas Traditions with Mendi

Today Mendi has an adorable layout showcasing her Christmas traditions. Thanks for giving us a sneak peek.

Mendi says, “For this layout I had so much fun using Lori’s shapes in unexpected ways to work perfectly for me.  I was able to transform a Valentine’s day border and give it a Christmas spin.  For my title, I pieced together three of Lori’s separate titles to create a completely new phrase to match what I had envisioned in my head.  Lastly I took a basic label shape and enlarged it to serve as my page background.  It’s so rewarding when you can get extra mileage out of the shapes you’ve purchased!  I hope I have inspired you to play with your cutting files and look at them in a new light.” 

 

As always Mendi, this is beautiful. Be sure to check out her blog as she has pictures and info on her blog.
