Quick Quotes Club Q redo (Jan)

Jan Club Q re-design. This month's kit used the new paper line called "Live Out Loud." I love all of the bright colors. My scrapping resolution is to include more journaling on my pages. For my first layout I left room in the upper right corner of the first page to add in journaling. Then for my second layout I used a stamp to create journaling lines in the lower left-corner. Pictures speak a thousand words, but sometimes 'real words' are needed to help you remember life's precious moments.

"Magic Moments"


"Life Unexpected"


"B-day/gift card holder" - for this I used two small pieces of canvas for the front & back. I wrapped ribbon underneath the paper to create a 'book-like' feel.

Quick Quotes Club Q redo (Dec)

I'm back :) It's been a while but my account was having some issues. To see my Oct & Nov layouts please go to the Quick Quotes scrapbooking company facebook page or you can view them at: shopquickquotes.com in the gallery area.

Here are my re-designs for Dec.


After using up the supplies in this month's kit I took my scrap chipboard and created the tree on the left-hand page.


I love the pearls that were included in this kit :)


This is a 12x12 canvas that is 1" thick. It can either be hung on the wall or displayed with a stand.


I created these unconventional gift card holders for Nolan's teachers.

Quick Quotes - Club Q re-design (Sept)

Here are the projects that I created using the Quick Quotes "Club Q" monthly kit club for September.

"Friends" (single page layout)

I created this layout in anticipation of the Quick Quotes Private Reserve getaway in Palm Springs the first weekend in October. I am attending the event with 3 of my girlfriends. The large flower will be for a picture of our table, then I can fit a single photo of each of us inside the smaller flowers :)








"Butchart Gardens"









"All About Me"







LAUGH (Rules of Chocolate)



LAUGH (Pg 1)



LAUGH (Pg 2)



TEACHER CARD

Quick Quotes - Aug Club Q Re-design

It has been a while since I've posted. We were out of the country for a few weeks, then school started back up. I've finally had a chance to sit down and scrap a bit and boy did it feel good :)

Here you will see a few of the designs I've created using the Quick Quotes Scrapbooking Company kit of the month for August. I have taken their products and added just a few of my own items I already had at home to put my personal touch on them.

Included is a single page layout of my son's first day of preschool. I got the idea to create a large apple from a magazine, then changed up their layout to be my own. I drew one side of the apple 'free-hand', then traced it onto a second piece of paper so both sides would match. Beneath that layout are two double page layouts of different parts of our Canada vacation. At the bottom is an altered chipboard mini album, very simply made since it's for my son. It will give him a few snapshots from this stage in his life "Me", "My house", "My family", "My teacher", etc.

'Splendor' Cards

SCRAPPIN at Ronda's
One of my favorite parts of scrap night during the first week of each month at Ronda's house is picking up my order from the previous month. It's like getting a new present each time I go out scrapping.

Last month part of my order included this "Splendor" paper pack from Close to my Heart. It is very whimsical with the clouds and flowers. I created two cards with it so far including an anytime card and a b-day card. I am also half way done with a two-page layout which I will post once it's finished.






On both cards I included a piece of embossed card stock that I created with my cuttlebug embossing folders. I like to sand them to make the words/pattern show through a bit better. Also on card #1 I first stamped the flowers in a white ink, then chalked over them lightly so each flower could be a different color.

June Club Q: re-design

I have been fortunate enough to be one of 4 lucky ladies chosen to re-design the monthly kits sent out by Quick Quotes. Each month Quick Quotes sends out page kits and/or a canvas kit. We've been charged with taking these same products that are sent out and doing entirely different projects with them.

I hope you enjoy my creations with their 'Paint It Black' papers. :)

I have included two single page layouts, one double page layout, a card (with a canvas front) and an altered frame. Feel free to click on any image and it will enlarge the size to see the details a bit better.

For this first layout I used the die cut 'dream' and cut each letter apart to create individual tags. I also cut some of the die cut flourish apart to use it as separate pieces.


For my second layout I decided to take the die cut flower border and cut it into three pieces. Two of the pieces you will see along the edges of this page. The center row of flowers I cut into individual flowers to help embellish some of my other pages.









For this double page layout, on page 2, I created 3 pockets which will allow for multiple photos to slide in and out. I used ribbon or a scallop to top off each pocket and added rub-ons in the bottom corner.




With the canvas I created a large card. I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes down the left side and tied the binding together with ribbon. On the inside I created a small pocket with a bookmark for the recipient to use. I 'love' the vellum quote on the bookmark - it makes me laugh.






With my remaining pieces of paper I created an altered frame. I found this wooden frame at Michael's for $1. What a bargain! :)
