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.
Well, he has gone and done it again...another elegant image!
Have a look at
"Easter Basket"

I used Ducks in a Row paper on this card too!!

Hi! The new creations are super cute. :0) I was wondering in the first card, it looks like the edge is embossed, is it or is it layered? That looks really cute but I can't figure out how you did it! Thanks for sharing. I see also that you are a homeschooling mom! That's great. I will be homeschooling my little one too. He's only 9 months old right now but I believe it starts right at day one. It's such an exciting and frightening endeavor! Well anyway, have a great day. :0)
Oh Lori. your digis are fabulous. I am dying to get my hands on some, but this whole after Christmas 'pay bills' things has got me in a slump!lol I am gonna get there, truly I m. I want to see if I can create as much magic as you have with them! Best of luck to you with your new store and blog! TFS !
Cute! I love the combo of Charlotte and PJ Ezra!
I love how you colored them. Love it!
You create such fantastic images and your cards show your love of them! I'm a fairly new fan, and I can see how you are blossoming into your own company...CONGRATS and best wishes! Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous new digis and cards.
Hugs and smiles
