Fall Fun with Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie here with a Pumpkin inspired scrapbook page using Autumn Brilliance by Quick Quotes.  The photos were grouped by using the My Image Garden by Canon.  It comes with the iP8720 Canon Printer that I will be printing from.

I love scrapping the entire event on one page.  Sometimes it is to much but doing it this way I still get all the photo frames and cute faces all on one page.

The photos were grouped on 8x10 photo paper by Canon and printed out.  They were cut into photo strips and mounted on grey paper from the Autumn Brilliance collection.  The Image Garden program allows you to zoom in or zoom out, to catch cute moments that are in the photos.

Some of the pictures in these frames are close up images from the picture.  I really thought that was a super cool feature.  I loved that I was able to single out a cute face picture and the finger pointing to the sky.

The focal photo was printed out as a 4x6 and then matted with the grey paper from the Autumn Brilliance collection.

The embellishments were stamped out using Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks.
Supplies used:
Quick Quotes: Autumn Brilliance collection
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Cool Grey, Kokomo, Midnight Confessions and Vanilla Cream
other:
Canon iP8720 printer and photo paper
Stamps: Lawn Fawn and Darkroom Door
Scrapbook Adhesives/foam squares
Alcohol markers
stickers
die cuts

Pumpkin love~

Hi, guys!!!

I love this time of year and I love a good "old fashion" Pumpkin.

I created a card using Lawn Fawn and Darkroom Door stamps.

I'm funny about my Pumpkins~I like them small and simply looking.  The one by Lawn Fawn is a favorite of mine.  The "post card" stamp is by Darkroom Door. 

 Love it too!! So perfect for this card.

The leaves and the sentiment are on the same set as the Pumpkin by Lawn Fawn.  

I colored the Pumpkin with Distress Oxides using a paint pen.  The ones you use water with.  Love the look so much!  The images were stamped on watercolor paper also.

Finished the card off by layering pattern papers and cardstock to create the card front.  Speckled with ink , added twine and a small orange button.

Farm House ~ and berries!!

 

Hi guys~thought I would show  two layouts I did using up the rest of the Farm House paper.  We have blueberries and blackberries and this red checked paper looks great with these berry pictures. Reminds me of a table cloth:):) with delicious food spread out on it. 

 

Check out the old label :):):) I have been saving it for just the right page.

 

These are pictures of the berries just beginning to make. We were so excited to see the branches loaded with berries.  I ended up freezing 6 gallon bags a blackberries. The blueberries never even made it to the kitchen. We just picked them right off the branch  So good!!!

 

The twine (gold) is by Lawn Fawn .

Try it Tuesday~Helmar and Lawn Fawn

I thought I was finished with math when I left school, but Helmar has taken me right back to the basics. I am privileged to be a part of Helmar's design team and I was more than thrilled to plug their products as there is nothing on the market that can touch their quality. But then, Helmar partnered with Lawn Fawn  photopolymer clear stamps and can you say wow????? I was blown away when I received Fawn Lawn stamps in my box. Not only are the graphics clear and crisp, they are so unique.  So ~

Helmar + Lawn Fawn =

fabulous amazing fun!!! Lets get started~

I had so much fun doing this layout!!! The sweet little images are from the Swim Suit Season Stamp set by Lawn Fawn.  I used the Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue with a wet paint brush to adhere the images to my layout.  It works great and you get glue only where you want it!!

I made a folder for the journaling.  The tag slips {from under the beach ball} to be read.  I used Bazzill cardstock behind the beautiful pattern paper by Nikki Sivils!!

Here is a close-up of the folder and the fabulous water images!!  I stamped them on the pattern paper and then with my detail scissors cut them out!   I added some machine stitching also~

I was thrilled when I saw the beach ball in the Lawn Fawn set because I knew I had these pictures that would be perfect!! Love it when that happens~

I used Helmar's Zapdots to add dimension to some of the beach ball's.  The pattern paper is by Nikki Sivils~super cute!!!  The dew drops by The Robin's Nest looked so cute on the beach ball's~I adhered with Helmar's Gemstone Glue.

I added some bakers twine and called it good!! When you get a chance ~check out Helmar and the Lawn Fawn web site. Amazing talent over there!!!  Have a wonderful Tuesday and see ya soon!!
