Simple Joys with Quick Quotes!

Happy Thursday to you!  It's my day to share a project over at Quick Quotes today.

It's been a very trying winter for us here in Minnesota so far this year, so I am inspired right now by thoughts of Spring.  I reached immediately for the "Just Because" collection as it has such fun, bright and cheerful patterns!

"Simple Joys"

Designer's Tip: 

Don't be afraid to get creative with your journaling! I decided to take it around my photo mat and into one of my flourish embellishments. It keeps with the whimsical nature of the patterns and page.

Tiny Miracle with Moxxie!

Happy Friday to you!

Today I have a page to share with you featuring the all new line from Moxxie called "Wee Ones".  It's so heartwarming and cute, plus the patterns are fantastic!

"Tiny Miracle" 12x12 Layout

I love this "We made a wish and you came true" die cut!

I mixed in a bit of "Reach for the Stars" yellow for the speech bubble.

I started with the chevron pattern paper and decided to do some hand cutting. Once I had that piece, I pulled the rest of my colors and papers together.  The speech bubble above I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out. That paper is from our "Reach for the Stars" collection.  

The beauty with Moxxie is not only how their papers are fantastic, but also how beautifully done their die cuts are! See the banner sentiment strips?  They are pre-done and ready for you to use.  Cooler yet, flip them over and you'll find another pattern waiting for you.  FUN!

You'll see a few extras that I mixed in.  The "You Make my Heart Sing" sentiment (Chic Tags), Acrylic star (FP, with the ribbon tied to it!), a flair button (AC) and some enamel dots (MME) and (TC). Other items added were a chipboard cloud (Studio Calico) and seam binding ribbon (stash). I used Quick Quotes Tahiti Powderpuff Chalk Ink on my aqua block. This time around I also added a few ink splatters.

Be sure to ask for this sweet line at your LSS if you have any baby books to do!

Have a super scrappity day and weekend!!!

Thursday greetings to you my blogger friends!

Today's project that I get to share with you was so much fun to create and for many different reasons!  I am excited to share with you my first ever home decor banner featuring Epiphany Crafts and the Shapeabilities Round 25 Bubblecaps!

I thought this fun line of papers from Teresa Collins was just perfect for the project and made me think "Thankful".  This time of year invokes those reflective thoughts and I wanted something special in our home to represent that.

So, I got to work with my Spellbinders Grand Calibur and several dies.  There are some fun layers on here.  A bit of detail for you:

Pay very close attention to the sentiment font bubblecaps on here, they were created using these absolutely fabulous stamps from A. Jillian Vance!  The monogram as well as the font. Isn't that just beautiful? The possibilities are endless!  I simply used white and black cardstock and contrasting ink and embossing powder.

If you have our Round 14, Star 25 or Round 25 tools, you definitely want to make a stop on over! You'll be amazed at how you can completely maximize your Epiphany Crafts tools in ways you never even thought of yet!! (That's because they already did that hard work for us! *wink*!)

Celebrate Life!

Hello there!  Can you believe we are already into November and Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching us?  I sure can't! 

I wanted to share with you today a fun little card that I created using the Quick Quotes Club Q October kits.  They feature some stunning Teresa Collins papers!

I wanted to create a Thanksgiving/Fall themed card with the very elegant papers from the kit. To play a bit with the elegance of the papers, I include a bit of black tulle. I attached it with some staples, then melted the top ruffles just a bit with my heat embosser.

One of the small black laser cut frames was the perfect size to create my sentiment block. Once adhered to the paper from behind, I attached it to the base using foam dots.

Aren’t the patterns and swirls in this line just beautiful? I tore my itty bitty quote vellum, then inked the edges with Mango Mai Tai.

Ingredients:
- October Quick Quotes Club Q Kits
- Cherry Truffle for button
- Itty Bitty Quotes, “Sentiments”
- Powderpuff Chalk Inks: Mango Mai Tai, Midnight Confessions

Non-Kit Ingredients:
- Black Tulle
- Foam Dimensionals
- Epiphany Crafts Button Studio 20, 1 Button 20
- White Thread
- Tiny Attacher, Tim Holtz for Ranger

Thanks so much for being patient as I get back into my regular groove again.  We had a nice family vacation last week and things are finally going to get back to normal now!  Yayyy!!!


Have a super scrappity day!
