Just Hangin' Out with Quick Quotes!

Happy Friday!!!

I'm super excited to share a page that I created with pieces from the June Club Q kit today!  It featured our Summer Samba and had such bright and fun colors!!!  These photos are of our youngest last year when he was 2.  They grow so so fast!!!

The kit included so many super cool die cut shapes to work with!  I used the white scalloped square die cut and I cut an end to layer under my papers.  I also cut the sun apart from one of the provided cuts and thought it would be fun to layer over the yellow here.  I embellished it with a flourish acetate piece and a wooden button from my stash.

I absolutely LOVE our Frosted Flourishes!  They add such a nice soft feel to a project and can help show some movement.  To add to the fun here I attached my yellow paper with a few segments of zig zag stitching.

The Itty Bitty Vellum quote that I used here felt just perfect for the page!  I used a scrap piece of black card stock and a rectangle Spellbinders die to create a very simple frame.  The black coordinated nicely with my photo mats.

Father's Day Super Hero Mini

Happy Wednesday to you!

Today I have a fun mini album project to share with you featuring the June Club Q kit from Quick Quotes!  The kits this month feature the cheerful Summer Samba line and are packed full of wonderful die cut designs that will absolutely delight you!

I've had Father's Day on my mind the past week or so.  I don't know about you, but scrambling at the last moment for a card or gift is always very stressful for me.

The kits contain some adorable white chipboard tags that are perfect to create a Mini Album.  I decided to create a "Super Hero Dad" mini album for my husband from the boys.

The stamped image is pieced.

Notice the extra cape layer, it's vellum!

Love this Adventure page!

I cut apart the postcard segment of my die cut and angled it.

I love this picture of all my boys on the boat!

One more boat photo...  The kids loved it!

The back cover.

I still have one more tag that I can add.  My goal is to have the boys add their hand prints on each side with PowderPuff Chalk Ink, then write their names in crayon on their side to complete this.  The fun part of this is to capture the spirit of their ages.  I want my husband to be able to look back on the scribbles and handprints and smile.

Since they are 3 and 4, it's a strategic endeavor only to be attempted while there is a moment of calm.  I'm hoping for an opportunity sometime in the next 4 days!  ha!  I'll let you know if I'm successful later. ; )

I hope that you've enjoyed my June Club Q project today, I had a wonderful time putting it together.  The kits make creating something special so easy and enjoyable!

It's bitter cold here in the midwest, but in my crafty room it's sizzling with the heat of some Summer Samba!!!  This cheerful collection is so much fun!  I think I might need to take a tropical cruise to make some photos to go along with it.  Doesn't that sound like a great idea?  *grin*

There's a little story about my card for today.  I intended on creating this for submission to the recent Paper Crafts call for their sketch.  Due to family illness, this did not get done in the timeframe required for the submission.  So, I thought it would be fun to share here today. 

I used my Spellbinders Grand Calibur and my Standard Circles SM dies to create my sun shape. 

Want to get some more Samba in your soul?  Pop on over to the Quick Quotes blog and look around a bit.  The gals have had a bunch of fun creating with this line!!!
