Claudia and Co. February Release

Hi Everyone!!

Did you like the hop??

What did you think of the new images??

This month's release is bittersweet for me!!

It's been 1 year January 4th since I drew the first Puddle Jumper.

It was my husband's birthday and while he drove out of town, I doodled with my feet up on the dashboard!!  By the time we made it to CiCi's Pizza 

(the kids got to pick for Eric's Birthday...hee hee) 45 minutes away...the Puddle Jumpers were born!!

The reason it is a little sad as well is because this will be my last hop with Claudia and Company.  It's time to move on and give my attention to my family, homeschooling and of course, By LORi Designs Digi Shop. It feels like just yesterday, I was sitting on my couch chatting and brainstorming with Claudia about her new stamp company!!  I even named it...I suggested Claudia and Company!! Claudia for of course...Claudia and I said Company could be a number of people: her family, her DT members and even her amazing customers!! I had been saving that name for myself one day...but who else better to offer my "and Company" name to, than my good friend, Claudia.  

Actually, I think Claudia & Co. flows better than Lori and Company anyway!! Hee hee!!

Congrats on Claudia and Company, Claudia!!

I wish you nothing but the best of all the things you deserve!!

Thanks for letting me be apart of your business venture and for 

your friendship that meant so much to me!!

That you ALL for loving the Puddle Jumpers as much as i do and for all your amazing support!!

Love you wonderful friends!!!

Ok, enough about me...it's time to let you see the cards I made and introduce to you the last 2 Puddle Jumpers who will call Claudia and Company home!!! Boo hoo!!

Please meet...

Charlotte and Ezra Puddle Jumper

They are all dressed up in their Sunday Best ready to hunt some eggs!!

I used the adorable October Afternoon Papers in their 

Ducks in a Row line sold at Claudia and Co.

You were introduced to the new C&Co. Artist, John Grutta, last month.

"Easter Basket"

Happy Hopping-

Puddle Jumper Winter Dana, Winter Wonderland and TPE

YaY!! It's Monday and TPE Day!!

The theme of the challenge this month is

Winter Wonderland

It's our last challenge of 2010 and all the teams are joining in the fun!!

I scrapped photos of Hannah, Landon and Ella from a few Winters ago!!

McCoy was too little to play out in the snow and Jussie was a newborn, so they weren't in the photos.

They were inside snuggled warm and waiting for the Chocolate Chip Cookies and Hot Cocoa were waiting for those little snow bunnies!!

Winter Wonderland

(this challenge is wide open...have fun with it)

You can do anything you like...card, project, layout...anything!!

_________________________

This theme is so perfectly appropriate, as today we a winter wonderland of 

our own here in Kentucky!!

The snow started this morning and has been falling softly all day!!

Hannah and I just bundled up and went out on the porch (giggling and freezing) to 

snap this photo so that you could see our winter wonderland!!

 YAY!!

We will be playing in the snow and making Sugar Cookies in the morning!!

Ohhh I LOVE my babies!!

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful CHRISTmas Season!!

Be sure to hop over to The Pink Elephant and join in the December Challenge.

Well, I got into a color mood and so instead of a card you will find SOME of the 8 images I colored...yikes...I was lost in color land and before I knew it I had colored up a stack of winter clad Cuties, but was then too tired to create the cards. Hope you don't mind looking at the image without a card!! I will get the cards together soon and post them!!  Until then, please have a look at the colored images of Winter Hannah, Winter Ella and Party Time Piper below!!

Preview Day 1 - C&Co.

Hi Everyone!!

Are you enjoying the fall weather?!? 

We have had some crazy weather here...one day it's warm and sunny, next we have tornado 

warnings all day, then lots of rain and winds...Oh and today, Sunny, yet cool!!!

Talking about chilly weather makes me think of the next release at
Claudia and Company

Nope, I can't show them all to you (you have to wait for the November 5th Winter party Release for that), but since today is preview day 1...I can show you:

Winter Ella and Party Time Piper

Winter Ella

 Little Ella is all bundled up and ready for some Winter Fun 

with her little side kick Penny the penguin!!

While designing Ella and Penny...I knew I HAD to add the sentiment

"Baby, it's Cold Outside"

My own Ella sang that song so much last winter, she had all of us singing it by Winter's end!!

 Party Time Piper

I used some fabulous paper on these cards 

(and I have more to show you on the cards to come).

On the first card, Winter Ella I used

 
*NEW* 6x6 Christmas Sampler Paper Pack  

EVERYBODY LOVES CHRISTMAS
$5.25

For my Party Time Piper card I used:

*NEW* 6x6 Christmas Sampler Paper Pack SNOW DAY
$3.00

both from 

Die Cuts R Us Online Store

Claudia has some fabulous Sample packs at unbelievable prices...so hurry 

and grab you some before it's all gone!!

Hope you enjoyed the previews!!

Meet me back here on the 3rd for more and then the 5th for the Grand Winter Party Celebration Release Hop....the prizes are awesome and you will not want to miss the goodies!!

Happy Day!!

New to By LORi Designs

Please Meet....

Fall Time
PJ Henry and Sam & PJ Katie and Grace
Of the Wagon Tales Series 

 sold exclusively at By LORi Designs

I made this card to add to 

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #97

And this one I designed according to and in celebration of my very first time playing with 

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

 
They are actually Puddle Jumpers, but because they are not as toddler like as the other 

Puddle Jumpers they will be known as PJs.
I plan on adding to the Wagon Tales Series...the possibilities are endless...I can pop 

all kinds of stuff in these Wagons...Hee hee!!!

 When you purchase these cutie pies...you will get the image with a face on the pumpkin and the one with out!!

Hugs and Blessings -
