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 ...

 

Paper by Echo Park -- "Sweet Girl" by Lori Whitlock

Silhouette die-cutting files by Lori Whitlock: 4 Doily Set #24969

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:

Mother's Day Mini -- A Wonderful Gift!

Holy cow -- time is flying by this year!

Mother's Day is right around the corner -- Sunday, May 12 !  That's barely over three weeks away!  Do you know what you are getting Mom? Step-Mom? Grandma? or Mom-in-Law ??

How about a gift of memories?  This mini album can be purchased pre-made, or as a kit so you can do-it-yourself!  All moms love photos so why not fill this wonderful mini album with photos and journaling that she will cherish for years to come!

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!

Tutorial and a Giveaway!!

Thanks for stopping by my Artsy Albums blog today!  It's your lucky day because I have two fun things to share --

First, many of you saw my washi tape flowers on HSN last month when We R Memory Keepers was  showing off all of their colorful tapes and fun tools.  If you head over to Frosted Designs today, we've posted a tutorial on how to make them.  They are super easy, fun to make, and can be added to so many cute projects -- page layouts, cards, or the tops of pens as I have done here.

Next, I have a scrappy prize package full of lots of fun goodies to GIVEAWAY to one lucky person.  All you have to do is:
