While I love every collection that Brandin creates I have to say that Once Upon A Halloween is by far my most favorite....so much so that I asked Brandin during the last Winter CHA why she hadn't created one........and then she did!! And she did it great!! I couldn't have asked for more!! I love the month of October, I love the colors of the season, I love going to the Pumpkin Patch, and I love that Brandin used purple in her designs with this collection!! I love this collection for its soft yet vibrant colors, the traditional and non traditional colors, the fun graphics and the fact that you can create a themed Halloween project...or not! When I saw the little spiders in the collection I knew I had to go back a few Halloweens and use the pictures of my grandson Trevor who was 3 at the time and was a spider, thanks Brandin, that was perfect...along with the beautiful shades of purple!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pt_cVXTVSp8/UCgp9rMe84I/AAAAAAAAGgs/_6OlpDasrEg/s1600/halloween09800.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pt_cVXTVSp8/UCgp9rMe84I/AAAAAAAAGgs/_6OlpDasrEg/s400/halloween09800.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Besides featuring my cute little grandson...who is now 6....I wanted to highlight the journaling cards I used and that each collection that Brandin creates includes. I scrapbook for various reasons but the top reason is to capture the moments that create great memories. Now these moments can happen at anytime, a birthday party, a holiday, a vacation, an event and yes everyday. To me sometimes these are the most powerful and a photo and even just a few words can bring that memory right back. This particular Halloween sticks with me because my grandson wanted to be a spider so bad and the costume he got he liked at first but then later closer to Halloween, when we couldn't find another costume, he decided he didn't like it. The costume was a one piece black pajama like suit and then there was a vest that went over it that had the spider and web on it. He didn't like the vest. So I got some glow in the dark fabric paint and painted the web right onto the black pajama and then removed the spider from the vest and sewed it to the suit. He was thrilled!! Grandma to the rescue! So when I look at these pictures that's what I remember. I also love that he is barefoot....always barefoot....even to this day. And ironically....today he is terrified of spiders, lol!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I used one of the <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/stationery.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1691&category_id=192&Itemid=28">journaling cards</a> to jot down a few words that would trigger that memory and used that as part of my design. Thats what I love about these journaling cards, you CAN use them as part of your design! I also use them as decorative elements as well, they are works of art in and of themselves and look great tucked in here and there, especially in a great cluster.</div>

<br />
Come back tomorrow for some serious inspiration!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224393040865481624.post-16596073567949927502012-05-25T00:30:00.000-07:002012-05-25T00:30:04.058-07:00Families are ForeverFamilies.....that is what life is all about. I am blessed to have the majority of my family close by and I get to spend lots of time with them. <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> has some fantastic quotes printed on Vellum regarding Families, and make doing a layout so easy!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C3ZIdWRrTSc/T52_NM99gFI/AAAAAAAAGUs/J2k0hhEc6cs/s1600/families1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C3ZIdWRrTSc/T52_NM99gFI/AAAAAAAAGUs/J2k0hhEc6cs/s400/families1.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
I used the Quick Quotes line One Fine Day and isn't that Quote the best? I love it!<br />
I inked the edges of the vellum to give it a sort of frame or boarder, some dimension. A little fussy cutting with the flowers in the corner helped to ground the photo by tucking the photo under them. <br />
I love to add little strips of boarders here and there to help the draw the eye around the layout, so remember boarders don't have to be full strips. Tone on tone, boarders of one color on top of an area of the layout that is either the same color or one that is close, is also a great way to add texture...and dimension.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFV76PCwvDc/T52_QmOkbwI/AAAAAAAAGVE/tCCTyhlQjYE/s1600/families4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFV76PCwvDc/T52_QmOkbwI/AAAAAAAAGVE/tCCTyhlQjYE/s400/families4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Another thing I love to do is to add my journaling on little strips, another way to ground the photo :) I love Quick Quotes Die Cuts!!! I added the little Fun Flowers after inking them with the Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalking Inks, so simple and such a great touch. I love the look of the inks when dry, they really do look soft like powder!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-stnelVgEMS4/T52_OeP_XxI/AAAAAAAAGU0/_T2AEOF1TE4/s1600/families2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-stnelVgEMS4/T52_OeP_XxI/AAAAAAAAGU0/_T2AEOF1TE4/s400/families2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
As I am working on a layout, it goes through several stages in my mind, initial design, bare basics, title, journaling and then, what is it missing? On this layout the little touch I gave was the cute little banner flags under the trim. Definitely one of my go to techniques lately, kind of just finishes it off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tzk5qp_JK5c/T52_PmtdAjI/AAAAAAAAGU8/lriat1ARxRQ/s1600/families3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tzk5qp_JK5c/T52_PmtdAjI/AAAAAAAAGU8/lriat1ARxRQ/s400/families3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Jenna doesn't like change....at all. So I thought I would make her a new sign for her new room, maybe it will make her smile a little and warm up to the idea :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otH84u5HrlQ/T5y_MlZTCWI/AAAAAAAAGT0/4gN7oN4TFfg/s1600/jennasign1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otH84u5HrlQ/T5y_MlZTCWI/AAAAAAAAGT0/4gN7oN4TFfg/s640/jennasign1.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
She is going to stay with her purple theme for her new room so the Quick Quotes Dreamscape line was perfect for her sign!<br />
<br />
I applied the paper directly to a little scalloped plaque that I had in my stash and then sanded around the edges to give it a finished look. I inked the edges of the plaque with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Limeade, a q-Tip worked great to get into the scallops.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QCbaSIxsTFA/T5zAOHBTi1I/AAAAAAAAGUM/QMEnNVjbclc/s1600/jennasign3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QCbaSIxsTFA/T5zAOHBTi1I/AAAAAAAAGUM/QMEnNVjbclc/s640/jennasign3.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
I used the PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Purple Passion to stamp the cute little saying along the side of the plaque....it so totally describes Jenna so it was the perfect touch!! I added a Frosted DragonFly and just love what it adds to the little sign! The Chipboard is also from Quick Quotes and with that I just stamped more Purple Passion on the flower portion and Limeade on the stem/leaf area. When stamping the chipboard I simply lie the chipboard onto my desk, which is covered in glass and press the pad directly onto the flat surface, it cleans up great with a wet wipe :) I stamped the folded coffee filter under the purple flower with Limeade, Lemonade and Green With Envy. And I couldn't find an Alpha in a color that matched very well so I chose a white alpha and stamped it with my Limeade Ink.....perfect match!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-475oTPn-ZKo/T5y_N3xPCrI/AAAAAAAAGT8/rCrdz--wUE0/s1600/jennasign2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-475oTPn-ZKo/T5y_N3xPCrI/AAAAAAAAGT8/rCrdz--wUE0/s640/jennasign2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
I added Ranger Stickles to the stem and leaf portion of the flower and glossy accents to the flower itself and then sprinkled on some Sparkle Fibers. I added Glossy Accents to my alpha as well.<br />
<br />
I hope she loves this sign for her new room!!<br />

I wonder if they celebrate there? Anyway, I thought way ahead, gave you an orchid early because I know in a few years it will be out in the yard and beautiful. I made you a card, with my <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> product because they have a beautiful purple line called Dreamscapes and purple is your favorite color. And I made you a photo book of our New England/Canada cruise from last October......which I am sure you know I made a book and that it was for you since you brought in the mail and asked what it was, lol!!<br />
<br />
So I wanted to share the beautiful card I made for you....right here, and wish you a wonderful Mother's Day where ever we are :)<br />

We're excited to celebrate
National Scrapbooking Day with our <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/">Quick Quotes</a> friends and fans! What
better way than to have a fun blog hop!!! During our hop you will see
inspiration from all of the Design Team for our current blog challenge.
Please visit <a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/">the blog </a>for full details how to play along with our
challenge.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This month's challenge is fussy cutting! Yep, cutting out some of those little details found in the graphics of the papers. This allows you to create some dimension and texture by inking the edges....with none other than the fabulous <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1832">Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalking Inks</a>, using pop dots to raise the cutting on the layout and layering the cut outs over other items including the photo.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the layout I created for this challenge:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MeLYyucZMT4/T59EW_I4qiI/AAAAAAAAGXQ/v3CcJ4lzPUg/s1600/fussycut1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MeLYyucZMT4/T59EW_I4qiI/AAAAAAAAGXQ/v3CcJ4lzPUg/s400/fussycut1.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2099">Summer Samba line</a> here.....which has the best flowers to fussy cut!! Flowers are usually the go to item for me to fussy cut because you can do so much with them! In this case I cut a bunch of flowers out, cutting the petals loose too, then I inked the edges with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW5">Mango Mai Tai</a> and on the bigger flowers I curled the petals around a pencil, the smaller I crumpled and straightened back out. When adhering the flowers to the layout itself I created clusters by layering and raising some up with pop dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XAUV5xlpSYM/T59EYJpTZeI/AAAAAAAAGXY/nmua4PAfPQw/s1600/fussycut2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XAUV5xlpSYM/T59EYJpTZeI/AAAAAAAAGXY/nmua4PAfPQw/s400/fussycut2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

The <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1832">Quick Quotes PowerPuff Chalking Inks</a> are a to die for product, I use them....alot!!

I wanted to share the layouts I have done recently with Webster's Pages products in digital format :)<br />
<br />
Using the <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/digital.html?category_id=113&page=shop.browse">In Love collection</a>, currently my favorite collection...who knew? I love this collection for the obvious uses, Weddings, but it actually works for other things too! I was able to create a layout about a young crush, 5 year olds, and have it be sort of on the masculine side since it features my young grandson Trevor: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KeGHFnLTPy4/T53PNDtEdWI/AAAAAAAAGWQ/7Gh4BfNb9zo/s1600/crush800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KeGHFnLTPy4/T53PNDtEdWI/AAAAAAAAGWQ/7Gh4BfNb9zo/s400/crush800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
and then here is another using that same collection but this time for my daughter Kari's wedding almost 10 years ago:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NILK1KGk4PE/T53ORobAziI/AAAAAAAAGVY/9ff95iWeRRk/s1600/cake800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NILK1KGk4PE/T53ORobAziI/AAAAAAAAGVY/9ff95iWeRRk/s400/cake800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I love how I got almost completely different looks from the same collection!!<br />
<br />
Moving right along to the <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/digital.html?category_id=114&page=shop.browse">Sunday Picnic collection</a> in digital format. I love the colors with this one and have used it alot, here are a few that I did:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eplBEeaIL08/T53OetN0PII/AAAAAAAAGWI/uvsHhqK6NN0/s1600/tada800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eplBEeaIL08/T53OetN0PII/AAAAAAAAGWI/uvsHhqK6NN0/s400/tada800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Jenna...just being well.....Jenna! Love the color combination here and it matches her shirt so well!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x1nsaGux1QU/T53OcA_QmcI/AAAAAAAAGWA/PSsWoZiq-aM/s1600/summertimefun800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x1nsaGux1QU/T53OcA_QmcI/AAAAAAAAGWA/PSsWoZiq-aM/s400/summertimefun800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
And then here is Trevor, loving his first swim of the season last year....again perfect colors for this photo!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7zvdzy-OKEE/T53OQJLwH4I/AAAAAAAAGVQ/ucXk20PVKsE/s1600/bunny-luv800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7zvdzy-OKEE/T53OQJLwH4I/AAAAAAAAGVQ/ucXk20PVKsE/s400/bunny-luv800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
One more with Sunday Picnic.....perfect for Easter photos!!<br />
<br />
One of the newer collections is called <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/digital.html?category_id=112&page=shop.browse">Game On</a>. I don't have many sports related photos...in fact none, but I have successfully used this collection for lots of other things:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lQ4i1DSCIRc/T53OZ5Bd-sI/AAAAAAAAGV4/dv0Zryc-la4/s1600/so-handsome800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lQ4i1DSCIRc/T53OZ5Bd-sI/AAAAAAAAGV4/dv0Zryc-la4/s400/so-handsome800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This is my Grandson Jeromy and his latest portraits, such a perfect match to the Game On line!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MBWycBfgeOc/T53OX3UT08I/AAAAAAAAGVw/kRE_z9IIZ_8/s1600/lilgrad800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MBWycBfgeOc/T53OX3UT08I/AAAAAAAAGVw/kRE_z9IIZ_8/s400/lilgrad800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
And then it worked perfect for Trevor's Preschool Graduation which had a red, white and blue theme!<br />
<br />

thanks for visiting!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224393040865481624.post-61388991749334892242012-04-18T00:30:00.000-07:002012-04-18T00:30:00.907-07:00Documenting Disneyland with Quick Quotes!Hi all....Julie here to share with you a Disneyland layout created with Quick Quotes paper line <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=COL75">Summer Samba</a>!! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t7bvyws1tz0/T4Cl0sx9TZI/AAAAAAAAGHo/XnKLZi-4J6I/s1600/COL75-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t7bvyws1tz0/T4Cl0sx9TZI/AAAAAAAAGHo/XnKLZi-4J6I/s400/COL75-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I think that these colors are perfect for a layout of a little boy's day at Disneyland, dont you? I had my Grandson Jeromy here from Arizona for his Spring Break this year, and since his vacation was not the same as my other two grandchildren my mom and I got the chance to take him to Disneyland all on his own....a special day!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-miQXceXILps/T4Clu194QOI/AAAAAAAAGHU/cpqsFLjPibQ/s1600/disneyland1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-miQXceXILps/T4Clu194QOI/AAAAAAAAGHU/cpqsFLjPibQ/s400/disneyland1.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
As you can see....he had a great day!!! This quote from the quotes paper included in this collection could not have been more perfect. I love when I can find a quote that so matches with the spirit of the layout! I created a fun little banner as part of the title by cutting strips of paper and using a border punch on each edge then folding it over. Also the Balloon chipboard was a great addition. I simply inked the surfaces with the PowderPuff Chalking Ink, then the edges with a darker color and the strings another color and then added some stickles to the surface...they are so rich looking, I love them!! I adhered them with some pop dots to get some dimension as well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pYnC6qAnkOc/T4Clw439p5I/AAAAAAAAGHc/wh6uslCyxQk/s1600/disneyland2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pYnC6qAnkOc/T4Clw439p5I/AAAAAAAAGHc/wh6uslCyxQk/s400/disneyland2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Tucking in some punched circles on a border gives the look of a cool scallopped edge. I simply punched the circles, inked the edges and applied stickles to the surface for some fun shine. I love the journaling blocks that are included with the Quotes sheet, makes life so easy....and I simply added a frame around it by adding a larger piece of paper that was inked to help it show up better.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gspQ4efhAFk/T4ClyUtO5sI/AAAAAAAAGHk/Bq4g6EpGy9E/s1600/disneyland3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gspQ4efhAFk/T4ClyUtO5sI/AAAAAAAAGHk/Bq4g6EpGy9E/s400/disneyland3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I hope that you enjoyed my colorful Disneyland layout as much as I did creating it!!<br />

I had this sweet little picture of my grandson taken at spring time a few years ago that has long been a favorite and it was a perfect match for this line of papers. I added lots of ink work, gotta love the PowderPuff Chalk Inks, some hand stitching, a great quote, and the beautiful chipboard butterfly by Quick Quotes.<br />

Julie here to share with you some inspiration from the Club Q kits from <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/default.asp">Quick Quotes</a>!<br />
<br />
I am in love with the deep edge canvas's! I love that you can decorate the edges as well as the surface and that it can hang or sit on a shelf. And I am in love with this piece of paper from Quick Quotes from the Tin Type line....I love the color scheme and you cant beat a paper with rays on it....screams summer and beach to me!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ytFt-j3aH8/T21GSsTXxgI/AAAAAAAAF-I/VBcEcedrT0Q/s1600/TI400-3T.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ytFt-j3aH8/T21GSsTXxgI/AAAAAAAAF-I/VBcEcedrT0Q/s320/TI400-3T.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So I started with this paper and a deep edge canvas and this is what I made:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9BbQfqliwdQ/T21GuYxWq3I/AAAAAAAAF-Q/zFRH2l4whSI/s1600/sunset1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9BbQfqliwdQ/T21GuYxWq3I/AAAAAAAAF-Q/zFRH2l4whSI/s320/sunset1.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
First I used the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW22">Quick Quotes PowderPuff ink in Lemonade</a> all over the edges and then went over the corners with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW5">PowderPuff ink in Mango Mai Tai</a>. Then I stamped the swirl pattern with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW20">PowderPuff ink in Baja Blue</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lttbz2HDR0Y/T21IaABj5aI/AAAAAAAAF-0/ee7ULaR6bT8/s1600/sunset4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="138" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lttbz2HDR0Y/T21IaABj5aI/AAAAAAAAF-0/ee7ULaR6bT8/s320/sunset4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I love using this ink!! It goes on so smooth and so rich!<br />
I crumpled the paper and wet it a little then smoothed it out and applied it to the surface of the canvas...love the texture it gives. I inked the Umbrella chipboard with the PowderPuff ink in Tahiti first and then lightly went over it with some Baja Blue. The frame around the photo was border punched from the back side of the same paper...great way to use scraps and coordinate! I lightly touched the border pieces with some Tahiti ink as well. <br />

I hand made the rolled flowers, also from the scraps of the same piece of paper and touched the edges with some more of the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW16">Tahiti ink</a>. The Butterfly chipboard was covered in the<a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW22"> Lemonade ink</a> and the edges touched with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW5">Mango Mai Tai</a> and then I spread a thin layer of Stickles over the surface.<br />

My Daughter Kari got married 10 yrs ago in September and this was before digital was so big so we had actual prints....not files. Somewhere along the 10 year span she had them scanned and put on disc. When I saw this collection I asked her for the discs. Its been such fun to look at them again and get to work with them in digital format. What a good time we had!<br />
<br />
This first layout I did captures a fun memory...brings a smile to my face everytime!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zAnPGiEF4fk/T24TFrQLPRI/AAAAAAAAF_s/Brt-U9Ne_9Q/s1600/she-did800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zAnPGiEF4fk/T24TFrQLPRI/AAAAAAAAF_s/Brt-U9Ne_9Q/s400/she-did800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Before the wedding started the photographer was taking pictures of the girls out in front of the grooms parents house where the wedding was held and the Ice Cream truck came by, Kari...in her dress and ready for the ceremony, ran out and stopped the truck and got a SpongeBob ice cream!! None of us had any money so one of the guests arriving for the wedding paid, lol! We were all terrified she would get it on her dress, she didnt, and it was great fun. Later this incident was used as a trivia question during the reception..and that guest who paid for the ice cream had the answer, lol!!<br />
<br />
My second layout is actually a lift of our Guest Design Team member this month, <a href="http://websterspages.ning.com/forum/topics/welcome-carol-monson-march-guest-designer">Carol Monson</a>:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As soon as I saw the Dress motif and the ticket I knew what I was going to do! I love how the Tiara also is so similar to Kari's!<br />
<br />
What a great collection this is and what fun I am having creating with my daughters wedding photos...who knows...if I continue I can make a book for their 10th anniversary!!!<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224393040865481624.post-84403353525266037032012-03-14T00:30:00.000-07:002012-03-14T07:27:10.966-07:00Sharing some Quick Quotes Tin Type - Club Q for March!Hi all! Its been a busy few weeks for me and I have had this layout I did with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/default.asp">Quick Quotes</a> <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/searchresults.asp?cat=1819">Club Q for March</a> featuring Tin Type on my mind the entire time and this weekend I finally got the chance to play and create! I know I say it every time I post but I am majorly in love with the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1832">Powder Puff Inks</a> by Quick Quotes, they go on so great, have a wonderful finish and its so easy to blend the colors as well!! My next love is the new chipboard and when you combine the two it is fantastic!<br />
<br />
So I used one of the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/searchresults.asp?cat=1819">Club Q kits from March</a> for my layout, which features Tin Type and some <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1983">Gears from the Bag 'o Chips </a>and of course lots of INK!!!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This layout also features my grandson Jeromy as a toddler....I have loved these pictures forever! There is nothing like a toddler in a pair of overalls and these were even Levis!!! I love how the Quick Quotes phrases add so much to the photos...my sentiment exactly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So let me share a little about what I did with this layout. The main background paper is inked on the edges with both Mango Mai Tai and Green with Envy Inks. Just a touch here and there with each gives such depth and color. The next layer was a full sheet of paper where I cut off an inch on each side and then distressed the edges and inked with Biscotti ink. The chipboard accents, gears and buckle were very simply inked with Baja Blue, Amaretto, Limeade and Mango Mai Tai ink. I added some boarder pieces that I punched and inked with Mango Mai Tai ink, and some banners I hand cut and inked with Mango Mai Tai ink as well. The phrases and photos were added along with buttons and bakers twine to finish off the look.<br />
<br />
I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that I have inspired you to grab some Quick Quotes product and create your own layout!!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Good Sunday Morning to you all! I am excited to you share with you my first
project with the newest <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/default.asp">Quick Quotes</a> collection, <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Collection73">Tin Type</a>. I love the muted color scheme it uses with
great graphics like gears, balloons and papers with diamond and chevron
patterns. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is my layout I created with this amazing collection:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oiDvGIM_SDo/T0l7y-rIagI/AAAAAAAAF2U/LXWoHKeGV_U/s1600/stitches1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oiDvGIM_SDo/T0l7y-rIagI/AAAAAAAAF2U/LXWoHKeGV_U/s400/stitches1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you can see I started with the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EM86">Printer's Tray 12x12 Chipboard</a>. This comes in two pieces which is just great for the added dimension I so crave! Ok I have to confess..I am covered in ink as I type this, lol!! I started with the bottom piece of chipboard and inked all the edges with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW2">Amaretto PowderPuff Chalking Ink</a>. I wanted an aged kind of look to this frame so I decided to stamp and emboss a pattern here and there on the bottom piece of chipboard. Once that was complete I inked the surface with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW16">Tahiti Powderpuff Chalking Ink</a>, right over the embossing and everything, then I took a wet wipe and gently moved the ink around and off of the embossing, I love the patina look I got with this method! For the top piece of the chipboard and the handle I embossed the surface completely to get a metal kind of look, the embossing powder had glitter in it so I love how it came out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then I began adding photos behind the chipboard and chose to add a vellum silhouette and a vellum color quote, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQH-G_N-Fbk/T0mAzeVzBxI/AAAAAAAAF2c/bns-UuMN7Cg/s1600/stitches2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQH-G_N-Fbk/T0mAzeVzBxI/AAAAAAAAF2c/bns-UuMN7Cg/s400/stitches2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=XX76">Vellum Silhouette- Gears</a> and the color vellum strip - <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Z135">These are the Best Times</a>, which I cut in half and put part in one window and the rest on another, can be seen in greater detail above.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved playing with the <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EM87">Balloon 8x10 Chipboard</a> and included both the gears and the balloon in my layout. I decided to have the balloon disappearing off the edge of the paper so only included a portion of it (plus I want it to fit in his scrapbook :). Some of the gears I covered in paper, the others and the balloon I inked first with <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW20">Baja Blue PowderPuff Chalking Ink</a> pretty much solid and then I lightly tapped some <a href="http://www.shopquickquotes.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=POW16">Tahiti PowderPuff Chalking Ink </a>over the top...love the speckled kind of look I got with it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4PIpVxYGM0/T0mEPQyXMNI/AAAAAAAAF2k/pabPByNBIfQ/s1600/stitches3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4PIpVxYGM0/T0mEPQyXMNI/AAAAAAAAF2k/pabPByNBIfQ/s400/stitches3.jpg" width="293" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also added some additional embossing on the designs in the balloon chipboard as well:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7HrkmD6dcyY/T0mEQqdy4uI/AAAAAAAAF2s/c4KhRshniW8/s1600/stitches4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7HrkmD6dcyY/T0mEQqdy4uI/AAAAAAAAF2s/c4KhRshniW8/s400/stitches4.jpg" width="162" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And as a final touch I added a Frosted Butterfly by Quick Quotes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RWpXsvOzBu0/T0mF463BFRI/AAAAAAAAF28/JvvOiOlJQE4/s1600/stitches5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RWpXsvOzBu0/T0mF463BFRI/AAAAAAAAF28/JvvOiOlJQE4/s400/stitches5.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you enjoy my layout featuring Quick Quotes and my grandson Trevor, who last summer when we went camping at the beach fell off the bunk bed and hit the edge of the table with his forehead splitting it right open. We jumped in the motorhome and headed for nearby Ventura to find someplace to stitch him up, getting lost every step of the way. We finally found our way, got some liquid stitches and were back at the beach with in a few hours to continue our weekend vacation. Trevor was quite the trooper!!</div>

<br />
Happens to me frequently. One thing that really helps is to find a print advertisement and lift the design!<br />
<br />
Here is one that I did recently:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k4HxrfmX3vw/Tz1Csgj1ksI/AAAAAAAAF14/6LoeOP_sG-s/s1600/ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k4HxrfmX3vw/Tz1Csgj1ksI/AAAAAAAAF14/6LoeOP_sG-s/s400/ad.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
Lots of white space with this one....always a challenge for me, and I really loved the solid blue line running across the bottom, really tied it together for me. So I decided I would work on a digital layout this time around. I chose to use my Webster's Pages <a href="https://www.websterspages.com/digi/digi-by-collection/263">All About Me</a> digital collection and this is what I came up with:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VIih7AznYPo/Tz1Da9wBwBI/AAAAAAAAF2A/h91spNuYyBU/s1600/daretobe800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VIih7AznYPo/Tz1Da9wBwBI/AAAAAAAAF2A/h91spNuYyBU/s400/daretobe800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I flipped it a bit but I used the basic design. It was a great way to restart the creative process :)<br />
<br />
Webster's Pages converts all of their printed paper collections in to digital, did you know that? Even the new ones that arent shipping yet....I love having the freedom to us whatever I want whenever I want over and over...the beauty of digital :) Go to see Webster's Digital collections <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/digi/digi-collection">HERE</a><br />

<br />
I recieved the Echo Park Yours Truly collection and paired it with my Epiphany Crafts epoxies to make these cards for my grandkids.....my little Valentines :)<br />

You'll have to forgive the cell phone photos of two of the cards as my camera is out getting serviced :)<br />
<br />
Also I created this digital layout using Webster's Pages digital collections Sunday Picnic and Western Romance:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rFGKmHfSVl0/Tzqv5E7-z7I/AAAAAAAAF1Y/7ace34phzhk/s1600/bemine800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rFGKmHfSVl0/Tzqv5E7-z7I/AAAAAAAAF1Y/7ace34phzhk/s400/bemine800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
And happily shortly after I made this layout he asked my daughter to marry him :)<br />
<br />
And lastly, I love to paint on rocks so I created these beach rocks using paint, papers, rub ons and my Epiphany Crafts epoxies and buttons:<br />

Its so easy to create with the Echo Park papers!!<br />
<br />
One of the collections I got was <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/winter-park/">Winter Park</a>, and though we have no snow in California and this year very little snow anywhere close I had to really stretch to find a photo for this fine collection...but I did find a great one!! My mom and I went to Canada in the fall and we took some crazy pictures....that's what happens when you are gone 15 days I guess, LOL!!<br />

I couldn't resist creating a "scene" with this collection! Tearing that paper just felt good, lol! Oh and yea...that's my mom, shes a great model for doing the crazy things I think of :)<br />

Our friend <a href="http://lizqualman.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Liz Qualman</a> was so sweet and shared her lovely inspirational sketch with us for this challenge.<br />
<br />
I got to work with the delicious new line Summer Samba, and the new embellishments (Chipboard and Frosted Dragonfly), and one of the fun new ink colors (Lemonade) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQujNvDRoHU/TywaKlE9XrI/AAAAAAAAFzI/p84KaZ73WdI/s1600/thebeach1febsketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQujNvDRoHU/TywaKlE9XrI/AAAAAAAAFzI/p84KaZ73WdI/s400/thebeach1febsketch.jpg" width="397" /></a></div>
I am in love with the cute little flip flops Chipboard...what fun they are to alter!! I inked the edges with the *new* color ink, lemonade!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JEKTDeGCjUs/TywaLtMLduI/AAAAAAAAFzQ/jdm4fLh__Cg/s1600/thebeach2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JEKTDeGCjUs/TywaLtMLduI/AAAAAAAAFzQ/jdm4fLh__Cg/s400/thebeach2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I would love to have a pair of these for real :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is one of the *new* Frosted embellishments, I added some of the Lemonade ink to it to help it stand out a bit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QXP9-JU3XKY/TywaPLfzZnI/AAAAAAAAFzg/zxScVYYN_o0/s1600/thebeach4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QXP9-JU3XKY/TywaPLfzZnI/AAAAAAAAFzg/zxScVYYN_o0/s400/thebeach4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
When I do some fussy cutting I love to have it stand out a bit from the background, I did it with these flowers by cutting into the flowers and bending them a little away from the background. You could also add some foam adhesive spots to get some dimension.<br />

I made it home!!!! Time to fix up this post a bit! I got to use the fabulous Echo Park Yours Truly line with my Epiphany Crafts tools and this is my layout:<br />

I love being able to make custom buttons with my Epiphany Crafts Button studio so that they coordinate perfectly with whatever I am working with, this is the Round 20 Button:<br />

The new square shape is so much fun to play with and when I saw the pattern on the papers matched the size of the square epoxy exactly I knew I found a great match, turning the squares on a diagonal made a great diamond pattern border. I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio and the Square 25 Epoxys:<br />

I have had Design Team spots in the past but I have to say none of them compare with the experience I have had at Websters' Pages. I have learned so much this year about design, and had so many new opportunities and I have to thank Brandin for that, I even had a bucket list item checked off :) It is so great to work directly with the owners and creators, definitely a family experience that becomes a part of who you are.<br />
<br />
So one thing I like to do each year is to choose my favorite layouts I
did that year. And this year I am going to single out Webster's Pages
layouts because they carry such meaning for me :)<br />
<br />
The Trendsetter collection was perfect for Jenna's first day of School picture this year: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love this picture of my daughter Rachel....and it was so funny when I showed her the layout because she had just written a self description of herself for school and it was exactly what I had written about her:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaINxOp0ejY/TvzI9e1Su1I/AAAAAAAAFow/3ZbAfwykY0Q/s1600/amazing800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaINxOp0ejY/TvzI9e1Su1I/AAAAAAAAFow/3ZbAfwykY0Q/s400/amazing800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This layout shows my style changing a little bit, something that I have fully embraced now. As Brandin told me over and over......you need space for your eye to rest :) This is my baby Ariel....she is a 7 lb Chihuahua and has added so much to my life....she is a love!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am a sucker for a beach themed collection. I love the beach and these photos of Jenna taken 2 summers ago continue to be among my favorite of all time. The Yacht Club collection was also perfect for these photos:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FN4to8zToOo/TvzKWrK5N6I/AAAAAAAAFpg/492C1V6k7s4/s1600/beach-babe800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FN4to8zToOo/TvzKWrK5N6I/AAAAAAAAFpg/492C1V6k7s4/s400/beach-babe800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Winter Fairy Tales collection was calling my name for my Disney On Ice pictures:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uohftjkT630/TvzK1ayy6oI/AAAAAAAAFp4/LeVAUIcwFT8/s1600/disney-on-ice-800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uohftjkT630/TvzK1ayy6oI/AAAAAAAAFp4/LeVAUIcwFT8/s400/disney-on-ice-800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
One of my favorite lines of all time from Webster's Pages is All About Me, I turn to that line over and over. My favorite color combination is turquoise/white/lime green and this is one line that does it right! I feel like Brandin made it special for me :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MG-WYSeKqiM/TvzLaHu_mrI/AAAAAAAAFqE/t4-oTukYXmU/s1600/first-day800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MG-WYSeKqiM/TvzLaHu_mrI/AAAAAAAAFqE/t4-oTukYXmU/s400/first-day800.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This spring/summer I had the amazing opportunity to work with Webster's Pages to create photobooks with Webster's Pages digital collections for their new journey with NovelTree.

Ahhhh yes, have to include the layout about Sadie....she is a huge life size deer made from cement which my mom and I bought and loaded into my little car...in the back seat...and had to have someone come over and unload it...but she is a great addition to the backyard and the kids love her:<br />
