Remarkable Woman ~ A card with Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie here with a card for that special Mom in your life.  Mother's Day is fast approaching and Quick Quotes has some great paper collections that will make great cards for that special person!  I used the Chiffon Collection to create this one.

The sentiment is from Vellum Quotes/Family by Quick Quotes!  The flowers and leaves were created using a steel die then inked with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk Inks.  Love the look the chalk ink gives the flowers and leaves~ so soft looking.  Quick Quotes makes it easy and fun to create special cards.  They carry a line of Vellum Quotes that are perfect for card making and when you are at a loss for just the right thing to say.

A scrapbook page with Darkroom Door~ a cute one too!

Hi guys!

I started with some super cute pictures and added some 

 Darkroom Door stamps and Bo Bunny paper.  Let me show you~

He was so eager and excited to help me and he was a big help:)

I stamped the images the Darkroom Door with black Ranger Archival ink and cut them out.  I thought the Stamper set was perfect for this scrapbook page.

Stamps are great to use as embellishments on your scrapbook pages.

More of the Floret Collection by S.e.i.

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using the Florets Collection by S.e.i.  I love the deep blue color and gold color paired together in this collection. It looks very manly, making it perfect for my photograph. Let me show you~

The round decorative paper was created using a punch.  The flower box was created out of the Pillow Box by S.e.i.  All you do is cut the Pillow box in half and round the bottom corners.  The flowers, from the Floret Collection, are clustered around the top of the Pillow Box.  I can't forget the Tumble Dye/Black, great for adding the paint splats!  Quick to dry and great look.

A simple and quick scrapbook page, that is announcing Spring is here!  Don't those chairs look amazing? So comfy!!

Try It Tuesday~ a gift and a find!

Hi guys!

I have a couple of cool things to share ~one was a gift and the other a find.

Let me start with the gift~

Tones Bros. Des Moines, Iowa

I'm still thinking on this one. The lid is the best part:)

I love the idea of flowers, but that won't show off the lid. so I'm still thinking on this~

****************************

Remember this cupcake holder I found in Indiana~

I'm using it to hold my glitter.  Sometimes the glitter would get knocked over and land

 on the floor, so I'm hoping this will solve that problem.

The glitter still shines in the old salt & pepper containers.

  Small glass jars are ONE of my weaknesses:) 

I can always find a way to use cool items.  This is plastic and very retro

 looking to me.

I paid $5.
