One Fine Day!

Happy Friday all!

It's Good Friday today and Easter weekend - I almost can't believe it!   This is one of my favorite holidays for the kids.  We can't wait to take lots of pictures this weekend!

---------

The Quick Quotes challenge for April is up on the blog today!  This month Barb is hosting our challenge and the theme is to incorporate a paper Grid on your project.  A grid pattern always has such a nice balance and feel on a project.

For my card I used the One Fine Day collection.  The grid pattern, fence, butterfly, aqua flower and bunny were cut from Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  I liked the texture of the lattice and the fence together as it adds a little interest to all of the patterns.

The flowers were cut and layered to collage a bit around the fence.

A few details for you!

I hope you take some time and play along with us over at Quick Quotes!  We can't wait to see what everyone creates!

Have a super scappity day!

Back to School!

Happy Friday bloggers!  Aren't those some of the sweetest words ever? 

I’ve got a fun little school inspired card to share with you today. How can we head into the month of September without thinking “Back to School”?!! The moment I looked through our September Club Q kits, those rich beautiful colors of the Cherry Truffle line made me think apple!

Tips and Techniques
- Used my Cricut Expression 2 to create my die-cut images.
- Use the relief of the border laser cut from the kit and attached under the ribbon.
- A bit of cream burlap trimmed to fit and fringed a bit, along with some cream ric-rak provided an anchoring point for my apple collage.

Non-Kit Items Used
Burlap
Ric-rak
Kraft cardstock
Coredinations Jenni Bowlin cream ruler cardstock
Ruler Ribbon
Martha Stewart mini tag punch
Cream Hemp
Powder Puff Chalking Inks: Marischino Cherry, Midnight Confessions and Amaretto
Cream cardstock from August Club Q Kit

What does the Cherry Truffle line inspire you to create? We can’t wait to see! We would love it if you share your creations with us using your Club Q kits in the Idea Gallery link on the blog!!!

Have a super scrappity day!

Quick Quotes Challenge!

Greetings and Happy Friday to you!

Quick Quotes has a really fun new challenge up for Friday -- how cool is that?!!!  To kick off this fun, our first challenge is being hosted by Michelle Granger.  Her challenge?  Use a number somewhere on your project.  Fun!

I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly sure where the number was going to come into my project, but I did know that I wanted to play with the new Damsel In Distress papers that I had received!  Such a romantic and soft pretty collection, it was whispering to me, honest!

Here is what I created:

I used my Cricut Expression and the new Flower Shoppe cartridge for quite a few of the flowers, and a variety of my punches for others.  I also cut the flourishes with my Cricut as well.  The quote is framed with Spellbinders Labels Three. 

This is one of our wedding photos that I just love so much!  It captures that moment in time where everything just stood still and it was us, finally joining our lives together.  There is something very calming and romantic to me in this photo and I hope I did it justice.

Here are some details:

You can see that I've included more of my uber favorite Frosted Flourishes!  The trim and netting are goodies that I had in my scrappy goody bag.  The coordinating buttons and heart epoxies are made using Epiphany Crafts products. 

Here's another detail photo for you.  I've also added some Perfect Pearls in Platinum to my butterfly and to the far right flower.  Where's my number for the challenge?  On the clock face as well as I wrote our wedding date above the "Time Stands Still" sentiment block.  I used our Powder Puff Chalk Ink in Midnight Confessions very gently to ink the edges of my elements.

We can't wait to see what you do with the challenge, please make sure to stop by the Quick Quotes Blog to get all of the challenge details!  Thank you to Michelle for hosting our first challenge!

Have a super scrappity day!
