Notepads with Quick Quotes~

Hi, Connie here with a useful gift idea for the school year.  I created with scrap pieces of pattern paper from the Catalina Island, Farm House and Anchor Aweigh Collections by Quick Quotes.  If you have a  3" X 12" scrap piece, you have enough paper to embellish a notepad for yourself or a special teacher.

To get this size of notepad, go to an office supply house and purchase a set of 12 legal size pads and ask them to cut them in thirds.  Most stores will do the cuts at no charge.  You will end up with lots of notepads!!!  Add the pattern paper to the back of the pad with a strong adhesive.

Make a little wrap around flap, for the top of the notepad, and decorate using stickers, pearls, flowers or die cuts.  Teachers will love them!! They look so pretty on a desk or by the phone.

Supplies used:

Quick Quotes : Catalina Collection, Farm House Collection and Anchor Aweigh Collection.

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk Ink: Caribbean Blue, Peach Tree, Seafoam

Other:

Legal size note pads cut in thirds

strong adhesive

Petaloo

Windsong Collection by Quick Quotes~

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using the new Windsong Collection by Quick Quotes. I played off of the subtle seafoam color in the paper and added seafoam cardstock to bring out the color in the pattern paper.

The title is chipboard and it is easily colored with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink.

The more you pat it with color the darker it will become.  The chipboard stickers were colored with PowderPuff Chalk ink also.

The flowers are also shaded with PowderPuff Chalk ink.  Pull them apart and it is

 easy to get good a coverage of ink on them.  

Supplies used:

Quick Quotes: Windsong Collection: 104 and 105.

Quick Quotes: Farmhouse die cuts

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Antique Linen, Seafoam and Midnight Confessions

Other:

Want2Scrap: chipboard title and Rhinestones

Live, Laugh and Love with Quick Quotes

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using the new Mulberry collection by Quick Quotes.  I love the blue tones mixed with purple and gold.  This page was created with two sheets of pattern paper out of the Mulberry collection.  

A collage was created to show you the steps taken to create this page:

Trim MB-103 to 7"wide and 11" long. That is the mat for the photos.  The other piece is what the borders will be cut out of.  Cut four strips of paper 1 1/2" wide and 12" long.

#1. Use border punches and punch out four borders from the strips of paper.

#2. Mat photos with white cardstock.

#3. Shade photo mat and borders with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink/Blue Jeans.

#4. Adhere the photo mat to the MB-101 (blue strip).  Then adhere the borders to the side of the mat.

#5. Use Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink/Blue Jeans to add color to the chipboard title.

#6. Stamp embellishment (number and heart) with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink/Blue Jeans and cut them out.

All of the elements have been created and are ready to be adhered to the page.  Journal along the border strips.

Winter Bliss Collection by Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page, using the Winter Bliss Collection, from Quick Quotes!  The pictures I used are really special to me and the Winter Bliss Collection worked great!

This page has three photos, two of which are hidden.  To make the photo mat you will need to cut the paper 8 1/2" L x 4 1/2" wide.  Fold in the middle.  Adhere photos and ink around the edges of the mat. 

To make the banner you will need a sheet of the Winter Bliss 1103 pattern paper.  Cut a row of triangles from the paper and then snip the triangles off.  Shade the small triangles with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink. They will really jump off the page.  Use dimensional adhesive on every other triangle.  Add the twine to the top of the banner.   You can make the banner as long as you want, just keep snipping triangles!!

Journal and title the page. Add Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink to the chipboard letters.

Here is the photo mat opened, revealing the other two photos.  My heart skipped a beat when I saw them holding hands.  Such a sweet moment and I was there to snap a photo.  I added a tab to the mat, so it would be easily lifted for viewing.

  

Products used:

Quick Quotes: Winter Bliss Collection **New**: 1103, and 1105.

Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Coconut, Caribbean Blue, Midnight Confessions and Biscotti.

Other: Whisker Graphics/twine, Want 2 Scrap/enamel dots, Tumble Dye, punches and stickers.

Christmas Quick Quotes style!

Hi, Connie here with a double page scrapbook project using Earth Wind Fire by Quick Quotes. This paper just so happens to be the pattern paper showcased in the Club Q kit for December.  That is what gave me the idea to use Christmas photos with these papers.  Let me show you~

Designer tip : The quotes look great cut apart and used as word strips.
Designer tip:  For a rich, bright color, repeat several times using the Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink when adding color to chipboard pieces (star).  Let dry a minute between applications of Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink.

The second page I created will work side by side the top one~

Designer tip: Hand cut the Christmas trees from the Earth Wind Fire 101 (better known as the triangle paper).  The lines make it really easy to cut them out and then add a trunk from a scrap piece of paper.

Here they are side by side ~

Quick Quotes products:
Earth Wind Fire paper: 101, 102, 105,109, 111 and 500.
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Barn Board, Desert Sun, Navy, Mocha Mama, Seafoam and Midnight Confession.

Other:
Clear Scraps: chipboard word
Want 2 Scrap: rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays !!!
