Lori Whitlock's February 2014 Blog Hop

Welcome to Lori Whitlock's February Blog Hop!  You should be arriving here from Corri's blog or if you're just joining in on the fun you can see the whole hop from the beginning at Lori's blog.  

For today's project I have a wedding layout I created using Lori's beautiful "Love Story" collection which she designed for Echo Park last year (still one of my favorite lines of hers, but then again I have SO many favorites).  ;)

To create my layout I used an old sketch from Scrapbooks, etc. by Valerie Salmon.  I love the border of circles across the page which were perfect for embellishing with so many of Lori's beautiful diecuts!  In fact I think I tied my record by using 9 different cutting files on one layout.  :)

To create today's layout I used the following cutting files available for purchase in Lori's shop:

 In honor of today's hop Lori is offering 30% off in her store as well as a free cutting file at her blog.




Lori has also generously given me a $10 gift card to give away to one lucky visitor.  Leave a comment for a chance to win or become a follower of my blog, pinterest or my YouTube channel to increase your odds.  The winner will be announced on Monday, February 17th.  :)
a Rafflecopter giveaway

One last thing (I promise).  I feel I must shout it from the rooftops that Silhouette is currently offering a wonderful 40% off sale through February 14th on their designer software when you use the code "LORI".  I didn't realize how much I would love the upgrade!!!  My favorite new functions include the ability to use outside SVG files, increased knife and eraser functions and the addition of rulers and guides.  Seriously handy and they all add so much flexibility to your design process!  :)



 You're next stop on the hop is Natalie's blog!  :)


 Make sure to check out all the wonderful ideas on my fellow teammates blogs and leave them some love.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  :)
