Beautiful Easter Basket by Christine

Ok, I will admit it.  I have a weakness for chocolate. So I’m so glad that most holidays feature sweets as part of the celebration.  Easter, of course, is no exception.  In fact, it’s the best holiday for chocolate and sweets in my book.  So when I saw that big chocolate bunny created by Lori, I just knew he would be the perfect thing to put into my woven Easter basket.

First, I cut out the basket.  I used some woodgrain paper from     Lori Whitlock’s paper for Echo Park.  The basket went together very easily but I would suggest cutting out two handles so that you can have both sides of the handle look the same and so that it is a bit sturdier.  Lori has a video on her YouTube channel that shows you the exact steps to putting this basket together.
Next, I added this cute little bow as decoration.  Wow, what fun these little bows are to put together.  I am definitely going to do more of these in my future projects.
Here is my little chocolate bunny.  I thought it would be fun to cut out his bow a couple more times and attach the extra pieces with foam adhesive.  I love the dramatic look.  I also cut out a mirror image of him and the bows sothat you could see him from both sides.
I think that this is going to be a cute little table decoration for my foyer table.

Scrapbook Layout by Mendi

I’m so excited to share with you this layout by Mendi. I need some warmth and Spring in my life and this is perfect. Mendi says…
“I’m back with another double page 8×8 layout to coordinate with the colors of my layout I shared last week from our same vacation.  My design was inspired by a beautiful sketch created by Allison Davis that called for lots of flowers and Lori definitely has plenty of beauties to choose from. I set to work layering her cutting files using her newest Echo Park “Sweet Girl” collection papers and brads. There are so many irresistible papers to choose from.  I think this collection would also work well for so many darling Easter & Spring projects!  Hmm… I think I think I just inspired myself with a challenge for next week.  Until then, stop by my blog today for enlarged views of my layouts”.
To create todays layout I used the following cutting files designed by Lori:
‘1 Great Day’ Phrase (Silhouette store only)
Flower Leaves (Silhouette store only)
3 Flower Leaves (Silhouette store only)
Flower (Silhouette store only)

Card by Corri

Today on the blog we have an adorable St. Patrick’s Day card by Corri, she says…

Hi everyone!  I have a quick St. Patrick’s Day card to show you today that made with files from Lori Whitlock.

I aligned one of the shamrocks from this set on one of the labels from the 6 Label Shapes set.

The paper is from Echo Park – All About a Boy collection that Lori designed.  I love this rainbow chevron paper….I think I need to stock up on it.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Easter Card by Christine and Spring Frame by Natalie

I LOVE Spring/Easter decor. It is a great reminder that this cold, ugly snow will go away someday. Christine is first to share the joy today, she says…
Easter comes early this year so I wanted to get a head start on my Easter cards.  This pretty little basket filled with eggs is just the perfect focal point for my round card.  Check out the envelope too.  It’s so fancy with a matching rounded flap.
Files I used:
Easter Basket in the Silhouette store  #7909
Elegant String Tied Envelope in the Silhouette store #6239
Next up is Natalie with an adorable Easter Frame…
Hello everyone, I am starting to think spring might be around the corner.  We had a glorious weekend here, and we are actually starting to see patches of grass around.  So I guess that means it is ok to start decorating for spring.  I love spring, I love the flowers it brings and the colors of all the decorations.  So I decided to make a cute little shadow box with this cute little bunny I found in Lori’s shop.
To make this, I used Lori’s 5×7 shadow box frame found here, which also includes a tutorial with it, that came in handy when assembling it.  I also used her bunny silhouette found here, and her Hello Summer collection from Echo Park.
Once the frame was all built, I added the bunny with a little foam adhesive and added a little cotton to the tale.  I think it turned out great, clean and simple and ready to make my house happy with spring!
