Thank you Gifts by Natalie and Christine

Hello – man is it cold outside.  I am such hermit when it is cold outside, it’s got to be important for me to head out in the cold.
I also am also always looking for gift to say thanks, so when I saw this cute snowman file at Lori’s shop, I just had to make one.  I used Lori’s Winter Park collection from Echo Park, which is a great collection for those frosty projects.  I also used her Snowman tote file, found here, to make this cute little bag, just perfect filled with some warm hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows.  Then I added a quick tag with ribbon and twine.  This would warm up anyones day! Check out her blog here.

 

After the excitement of the holidays dies down, it’s time to start thinking about thank you cards.  My family received so many wonderful things from our extended family, I wanted to make a special thank you card for each of them.

Please stop by my blog to get all of the details on exactly how I made each card and envelope.  You will be making up a batch of your own in no time.

I am so happy and excited to introduce you to our 2 new Creative Team Members. These two ladies have worked with us for awhile at Jessica Sprague and always done a superb job with Lori’s products. Without further ado, please let me introduce you to Heather Landry and Roelien van den Berg. We are so excited to have these 2 amazing ladies join our team.

I asked both these ladies to create a project for us, no rules, just show us your style and flair. Check out their amazing work! I LOVE what each of them did. These two ladies will be joining Lisa Barrie on our digital team.  Not only do they use their computers for scrapbooking, but you will also see the digital products printed and cut using their die cutting machines. Heather and Roelien are a great addition to our creative team and we are excited to share them and their talents with you. We here at Lori Whitlock, already love them! Be on the lookout next week for their projects.

Christine’s Project Life

Today Christine is here sharing her creativity with us. Check out what she has done.
I have always been interested in the Project Life concept.  I’m a very busy mom and a lot of times the day to day stories don’t quite make it into my scrapbook pages.  So starting in January, I’ve decided to give Project Life a try, and I’m going to use Lori Whitlock’s Life die cuts for all of my components.  I love the variety of cards, in both 3×4 and 4×6 that she has in her shop.  Plus an array of other items, like pockets, folders, titles, and shapes.  So to start practicing using the concept, I decided to put together a couple of pages for a 2011 year in review.  In this post, I am sharing months March and June.

As I was going through my Lori Whitlock die cuts, I came across this fun negative frame, which I had to resize just a little to fit into the 4×6 pocket.  It was a great way to include more pictures.  I still feel like these pages are more like my regular scrapbook pages but maybe that is ok.

I’m still struggling with my journaling. I’m not fond of my handwriting and prefer to be able to edit my writing on the computer.  I’m going to try really hard to journal in my own handwriting but if it doesn’t feel right, I will just jot down some things in a notebook and transfer it later to the computer.
Here are some more shapes from Lori’s shop.  The title Celebrate Today is a favorite of mine.
Another thing that I like to do is to use my cardstock stickers on the outside of the sleeves.  That way I can still decorate my spaces but it doesn’t have to be directly on my photos.  For these two pages, I used For the Record 2 by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  The color scheme was perfect for my pictures.
I’ve already started cutting more cards to get ready for the first week of January.  I’ll have a stack of different shapes and colors to choose from.  I’m also going to cut out a bunch of word titles and like these, 12 Phrases, and put them in an envelope, so the process will be quick and easy.
I’ll be back to show you my progress in the middle of January.

More Christmas Fun by Corri and Joy

I love our Creative Team! They always have such great projects to share with us. Today on the blog we first have Corri. She has used some of the newest shapes in the shop to create these adorable pieces. She used the “Snowflake Charms” to tie to her package. Check out her blog for more info.

 

Joy has used the “Christmas Tree Pop-up Card” and the “Reindeer Pop-up Card.” These are both so adorable. Not only is this an SVG cute file, but also uses a digital scrapbooking file. Joy printed Lori’s “Christmas Day Paper” found at Jessica Sprague (and on sale right now for 40% off) and lined the card up perfectly with her machine to cut it. She gives directions on her blog if you need help. Thanks Joy. These are both adorable.
