  1. I’m so excited I stumbled upon your blog in time for the blog hop! I looked you up after loving your silverware pocket in the Silhouette shapes store!

  2. Your project turned out ADORABLE! I love how simple it looks to make, but yet it has so much impact! I totally want to scraplift this! 🙂

  3. Lori,
    I LOVE this idea! It may be simple but it looks like something you’d hope to find in a specialty boutique. I’m soooo on my way to Hobby Lobby for a frame! Thank you for the awesome files you make and gorgeous paper line. You make creating fun, simple and stylish.
    Super Hugs,
    ~Joy~

  4. Lori, Your files are my favorite! I can always count on them to be top quality! LOVE your decorative frame, totally darling!! Thank you for the freebie!!

  5. I’m so looking forward to making lots of holiday decorations now that I have my new Silhouette!! Thanks!

  6. Love the frame! Curious to know if you bought it like that or is it a wood frame that you painted/sanded etc? Excited to check out the other blogs.

  7. I like the idea of making a fall wreath with paper leaves and for Thanksgiving you could add the banner that you are giving out today.

  8. Very cute project and idea. My idea would be for Halloween. The kids and I gathered some rocks from the creek. We painted them black and decorated them however we wanted. Put legs on them using a hot glue gun and pipe cleaners and there you have a black spider decoration for Halloween.

  9. For November, every day write one thing you are thankful for–no repeats. Make a book or collage with all those things.

  10. Great Halloween decor!! Thanks for the freebie! Loving this blog hop!

    I like making chocolate covered pretzels as snacks for the holidays. 🙂 (if you get a decorator bag and cut the tip off you can easily add stripes to your pretzel in the primary color of the Holiday. :))

  11. Loving this blog hop! Thanks for the freebie!

    I like making chocolate covered pretzels drizzled with colored stripes…(Orange for Halloween and Thanksgiving, Red and Green for Christmas)

  12. Love your papers you create and your files. Can’t wait to see all the projects and be inspired all along the hop!!

  13. I am working on Gifts for my daughters cheerleading team! Just ordered supplies and can’t wait to get started.

  14. Thanks for the awesome bloghop and free banner letters. I love all your files. Your files are the first I look at when each week at Silhouette.

  15. Thanks for the awesome bloghop. The projects were all really cool. I love your files at the Sihouette store. Thanks for the free banner.

  16. Love this blog hop…so many cute ideas! My fall idea (just used it for a fall baby shower) is to make cute owl decorations out of toilet paper rolls (swished down on top–for ears & body), cupcake liners (for feathers) & cardstock circles (for eyes) See last month’s Family Fun magazine for better details. So cute!

  17. oops…forgot about our fun project that we do each year! the kiddos do their footprints in white paint to create ghosts…super spooky and cute!!!

  18. I love making ornaments for my aunts. i give them to them on thanksgiving so they can have them during the holiday season to decorate their christmas trees but it’s always fun leading up to thanksgiving making ornaments!

  19. Lori~ I so love your designs. I can’t wait each month to buy them. Thanks for a great blog hop. Love to see how all your design come out. 🙂

  20. Make mini loaves of quick bread for neighbors, and decorate the boxes with cute fall images.

  21. I haven’t made any crafty things yet for the season, but I was looking at a pumpkin display that I would like to try!

  22. Each year make a mini album of things each family member is thankful for and put them out as decorations each year.

  23. Love, Love, Love your wall hanging and your choice of ribbon sure makes it PoP! Thank you for the hop, it was fun seeing all the Amazing projects!

  24. My son likes to make tiny boxes for placecard holders for the Thanksgiving table. A couple of fall foil wrapped kisses inside add a nice surprise!

  25. I saw a cool idea for a Thanksgiving centerpiece on a blog last year – cut out leaves in different colors, have everyone write something they’re thankful for on a leaf, and tie or clip onto a tree branch and place in a vase.

  26. Every Fall, I stack a set of 3 real pumpkins (largest pumpkin on bottom, to smallest on top) on to a concrete urn on my front porch to make two beautiful topiaries. I wrap grapevine loosely around the pumpkins and add some artificial fall leaf garland. It it simple and beautiful. You just have to spend a little time to make sure your pumpkins are level. Beautiful and simple!

  27. I recently cut out “trick or treat” in red vinyl for the black front door ! so sweet ! Hang a spider wreath above it and I have an easy front porch display. I can’t wait to cut out more saying for the door for fall and Christmas !

  28. we are painting our pumpkins this year-that way they will last longer (and the squirrels can’t eat them as easy!)

  29. Your designs are my favorite! Just did my first ‘print & cut’ of your designs on my Silhouette this week … it was pretty simple. Thanks Lori for all your inspirations. Awesome!

  30. I really love decorating a great, fun kid’s table! We have 3 toddlers that are within 8 weeks of each other and I’ve found some great ideas at Fiskars for this year’s meal.

  32. I love doing a fun kid’s table! We’ve got 3 2 year olds this year (all within 8 weeks of each other!) and I’ve been collecting some great ideas. The Fiskars site has some really amazing kids activities!

  33. You can’t beat heading to the Pumpkin Patch as a family as a fall tradition. Hayrides, pumpkins, and fun…and hopefully a yummy fall treat or two. (Like apple donuts and cider.)

  34. Frankie is just the coolest! Love the trick or treat and fall signs but most of all love the excellent step by step illustrations that turn these awesome professional looking projects into something we can actually do too! Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

  35. I enjoy printing our names in a large block font and using it as a pumpkin pattern, cutting each person’s name out on the front of a pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

  36. What a fun Blog Hop!!! 🙂

    Our Halloween tradition is to make something special for the other kids on our street! Last year we decorated crayon boxes and this year we are wrapping homemade candy apples with paper witch’s hats and candy apples.

  37. Thank you so much for the freebies and the discount! I love all your items. They are always so much fun!
