Lori Whitlock's August Blog Hop ~ Echo Park Fine & Dandy

Hello & welcome to Lori Whitlock's August blog hop!  You should be arriving here from Corri's blog or if you're just joining us you can start from the beginning at Lori's blog.  :)

For today's project I decided to create a layout using Lori's newest paper line for Echo Park called Fine & Dandy.  I LOVE this collection!

I paired it with a darling cutting file of Lori's called Naps that comes with both the title and the darling owl on the tree branch for the bargain price of $.99.  He was a lot of fun to piece together and I added a bit of stitching and glossy accents to his heart to dress him up. 

For the title I decided to cut the word "naps" twice and slightly enlarge the words "fix everything" and ground them on one of Lori's banners.

To create my layout I used the following cutting shapes which are available for purchase in Lori's shop:

• Naps
• 7 Labels (scalloped circle)
• Journaling Shapes 2
• 8 Tabs

This week you can get 30% off all her and Kolette Hall's amazing cutting files and fonts using the code "AUTUMN" through August 18, 2014.  :)

She is also offering 30% off all her darling digital kits over at Snap.Click.Supply. using the code "LWAUG14HOP", but you have to hurry.  The code is good for today only.  ;)

In honor of the hop Lori is also giving away a free SVG cutting file at her blog today.  :)

We have added lots of great new talent to the team this month so make sure to stop by and see all the cool stuff they have created with Lori's designs!  You're next stop on the hop is Traci's Blog.  :)
