Audrey's layout is about playing outside with her daughter. We love all the fabulous layouts our design team has made with children and Corinne! Kids and Corinne go together like peanut butter and jelly. This layout is a perfect example of why that combo is oh so sweet.
Don't forget... you could win a $25 gift card to shopsei.com. To enter, create a layout using Julie's sketch and at least one SEI product. Then link up to our party, going on right now! You only have one more day.
This set of cards Lori created are so happy and cheerful. They would brighten anyone's day.
The layering and grouping on this card creates an imaginative scene. The embossing on the solid pink paper is all it takes to send birthday wishes.
This great color-combo was achieved by combining the die-cut accents from the With All My Heart collection and subtle Corinne papers. You may be surprised to find unique color palettes when you combine collections.
Pinwheels are so fun and springy. But, who would have thought to attach one to a card? Lori, that's who!

Lori's project for today is completely adorable. Since it's a little different than usual, we thought we would let her explain her process.
"When I was lucky enough to receive my goodies for SEI I immediately fell in love with the Corinne Collection!! The colors were so pretty and I just loved all of the elements on the sticker sheet... I was so excited to sit down and create with it!! Recently I have been following and falling in love with all things mixed media. I have been participating in some classes (with a few coming up) and this has really taken me away from my normal style of scrapbooking and I've learned to have fun and just create. I have had these cute 6" x 12" canvases in my collection for awhile now and when it came to this months assignments - I just couldn't wait to play and experiment!!"
"Here in Canada we got a little sneak peak of spring last week and with more snow and storms in the forecast I needed to surround myself with bright colors and reassure myself that spring is indeed on its way! With that I started playing - and I came up with a cute little canvas that incorporates most of the the Corinne Stickers, Borders and I snuck in a tag from the Romance Collection for my cute pink house!!"
"I started with applying the 'With all my Heart' Paper with Mod Podge to the canvas and then went over it slightly with some blue paint. I used bubble wrap and some sponges to give it some depth and texture. I then placed various borders on the canvas for my sky and grass and started placing some of the adorable Corrine Stickers all around. I am in love with the clouds...they are my favorite! The cute little hearts I used as flower centers and when everything was dry used a regular black pen to doodle in my flowers. I typed out one of my favorite quotes my computer and applied it with mod podge as well (all elements are applied this way even the stickers). To finish it off I went back in with some yellow paint to add some sunshine by applying it with some simple bubble wrap to add just a touch of sun!"
"This sure was a fun project for me.... it was just the touch of spring I was looking for and I smile when I see it hanging in my scraproom."
Caroline made these projects with the With All My Heart Collection. We love all the layering of embellishments she did. She made them in several groupings, which helps it stay organized and keep the focus where it should be.

Lisa has designed two cards to share today. They are both very pretty and contrast each other.
First, this everyday card using the Corinne collection is bright and cheerful. The white leaf stamp and solid papers are a nice base for the flower die-cuts.
Who wouldn't be delighted with that sparkle?
Next, Lisa has an elegant wedding card using the White Elegance collection. This one is itty bitty, just right for a wedding gift.
So whether you have a big formal event coming up or just want to brighten someone's day, go make some cards! It's always good to have some on hand.
Julie seems to capture how she felt holding her newborn in this sweet layout. She did a wonderful job showing how the With All My Heart collection doesn't just have to be for Valentines.
The repeated rows of hearts make such an impact! They are beautifully constructed with a scalloped edge attached to the layout, stitched line through the center, and edges gently folded up. Julie shows us that you don't have to own a box full of embellishments to make a lovely layout.
Audrey created this cheerful layout using three different paper collections, White Elegance, Corinne, and Claire. The striped White Elegance paper works great to resist the mist. It makes a textured background without overpowering the layout.
Spring is coming! If you are like us, you are ready to freshen up your wall art and decor. Luckily we have just the thing to do it with...a CSN Stores giveaway! Here are a few ideas from All Modern, one of CSN's 200+ stores, to get you thinking about the possibilities.
