Cascading Album by Traci and a Layout by Mendi

Today we have 2 fabulous projects to share. Traci has created one of the Cascading Albums and Mendi has an adorable layout.
Happy Monday everyone!
I am glad to be back sharing another project with you today!  If you know me, or have ever been to my blog, you know that I’m a huge fan of mini albums.  They are my favorite project and I love the fact that Lori has so many wonderful options in her shop.  So for today’s project, I used one of Lori’s Tiered albums with a bracket edge.  I also used brand new papers and embellishments that Lori designed for Echo Park called Reflections.  Oh my goodness what a fabulous collection!!
For the title of my album, I used Lori’s Family Memories phrase.  This new paper collection is perfect for older family photos or more recent ones — I just love the colors!
I wanted to add a fold-up card piece to one of the album pages, so I cut out Lori’s Hinges to give the card more interest.  Depending on the size you make your hinges, you can add brads to the holes, or use a little bling like I did 🙂
Finally, to add to the vintage feel of my album, I added a fancy frame.  I just love how the frame looks with some gems added for sparkle!
I have posted additional photos of this album over on my blog today, so I hope you’ll stop by and check them out.
Thanks for letting me share with you!!

Thanks Traci! Here is Mendi’s beautiful layout!
Mendi here today sharing a layout which uses Echo Park’s Here & Now collection (one of my favorite collections of Lori’s) and a number of her fun SVG cutting files.


To form my title block, I layered 5 different cutting files of Lori’s.  I had some old (OLD) Autumn Leaves ticket stamps which I paired with Lori’s ticket shape.  I also mixed things up a bit by removing the shadow from the “Spring Is Here” title and enlarging the word Spring and moving the words to two separate lines to fit on my label.


I created a second grouping to form the second point in my visual triangle using Lori’s layered flower, pennant and a matching sticker from the collection kit.  I added a pearl brad and some foam tape for my flower to add a little interest.


Lori’s tabs with the date was just what I needed to finish my visual triangle (and remind me where to file this one away in the albums when I finally get around to it).  😉

To complete my layout I used the following cutting files designed by Lori:
