Another Bundle of Joy with Echo Park

This time...It's A Boy!  Well, a mini album for a boy that is :)

Just a quick share of a mini I made using the new collection from Echo Park, "Bundle of Joy".  I'm always excited when I find cute new baby collections.  Mini albums are a sweet gift for baby showers and new moms!

New Friday Challenge and Sketch at Frosted Designs

Good Friday morning Artsy friends! It's challenge day over at Frosted Designs, and this time it's a fun sketch project! And here's my version of the sketch below. These are my precious nieces many years ago. I just adore them! 💗

And here is the sketch I was working from ...

Lori Whitlock's Creative Team

I am excited to be able to share some exciting news with you today.  I've been invited to be part of Lori Whitlock's creative team!  I've absolutely loved Lori's designs for a long time.  You've seen Lori's fabulous work at Echo Park Paper -- she designs some of my favorite paper lines ... "This & That Charming", "For the Record", "Note to Self" among others, and the recent "All About a Boy" and "Sweet Girl" collections.  Lori also has wonderful SVG files for die cutting on Silhouette's site and her own website Lori Whitlock.

I am thrilled to be part of Lori's team and hope that you'll pop over to her blog and look around. Leave a comment and tell her Traci sent you over!

A few of my projects using Lori's designs:

Color Challenge: Navy, Aqua, & Orange

I was going through some pictures recently, and found these pictures of my boys when they were much younger.  It made be so happy to see these silly faces that I created a mini album just for these pictures.

These colors are perfect for a challenge over at The Play Date Cafe.  If you have never joined a challenge over there, you may want to head over and have some fun!  I recently discovered this site and plan to enter this little mini into this week's challenge which is to use the colors of navy, aqua, and orange in a project :)

Hope you join me in playing along :)

Echo Park's Bundle of Joy...so Sweet

Since one of the most common requests I receive for custom mini albums is for baby gifts, I am always on the search for adorable collections.  Echo Park's Bundle of Joy does not disappoint -- full of new baby cuteness :)

So since I've had my "pink fix"... I think I will go create something fun with the blue and green boy version which of course, is equally adorable!
