Nashville Vacation with Quick Quotes

Hello and Welcome!

We recently took a trip to Nashville, Tennessee and visited President Andrew Jackson's estate. It was amazing!  The Red, White and Blue colors of July's Club Q worked perfectly with this Presidential theme. I used the July Club Q Americana Premier Page Kit. As most of the pieces are pre-cut and included in the kit this page came together super fast!

Here is the step-by-step:

• I started with white 12 x 12 cardstock and added the pre-cut blue strips, edged with Capri Blue PowderPuff Chalking Ink to the top and bottom.
• The white star border, backed with red paper and edged with Capri Blue Ink, was then added on the top and bottom.

 

• Two decorative borders were created with a border punch from the red pattern paper in the kit. It was then edged with Barn Board PowderPuff Chalking Ink and adhered to the page.

 

• Photos were matted with white cardstock and blue pattern paper from the kit, then edged with  Capri Blue PowderPuff Chalking Ink. The cute star frame and tags are in the kit too.

 

• I colored the stars with Capri Blue PowderPuff Chalking Ink and added them behind the photos.

 

• Finally the photos, tags, stars, gold brads and title were adhered.

Gotta Catch Them All

Hello and Welcome!

My family and I love to play the AR scavenger hunt game, Pokemon Go. We all have fun playing it together and it gets us outside exploring. Plus we meet all kinds of great people, who play, wherever we go.  This page is about some of our many adventures:

This page is based on the Jump Start Sketch from The Scrap Room. I used Authentique pattern papers.

For the title, I used Thickers by American Crafts.

The shiny flair brads are by My Minds Eye. The fun diecut scribble circles are by Simon Says Stamp (Circle Loops).

This page is entered in:

• The July "JumpStart" Sketch Challenge at The Scrap Room

               

• The "Add a Little Sparkle" Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp

• The "Die/Punch" Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Hope you are finding some fun adventures to scrap this summer,

Celebrate Cards With July Club Q

Hello and Welcome!


Today I have 4 Red, White and Blue cards bursting with fun and created with July's Club Q Altered Project kit! This kit is designed to make a cute wall hanging, but I decided to make cards instead. These cards are also very versatile. With the celebrate sentiment and great color scheme, you can use them for birthdays, anniversaries or any occasion you celebrate!

It was easy to make these cards as most of the pieces are pre-cut. All of the the pattern papers, chipboard stars, star frames, tags and brads come with the Club Q kit. I just added a white card base, silver thread, gold glitter paper and "celebrate" diecut.

All of the pattern papers were edged with Barn Board or Capri Blue PowderPuff Chalking Inks. For this card, I only added the card base, sentiment and gold confetti diecuts and "happy" stamp.  Everything else is included in the kit. Don't you just love that cute, little starred tag?

For this card I only added the card base, cat stamp and gold confetti. Even the wide tan ribbon is in the Club Q kit.

For this last card, I used the fun Club Q star tags and just added a card base, sentiment diecut and gold confetti.

Red, White and Blue with Quick Quotes

Hello, welcome and happy 4th of July!

Today's page is bursting with the red, white and blue colors of our NEW July Club Q kit!

For a different idea, this page was created from the Small Altered Project July Club Q kit. As most of the pieces are pre-cut, this layout came together quickly! The only things added were Thickers and navy and white cardstock.

I love the cute Club Q starred frames. They were prefect for little photos of my friend and I goofing around trying on a few fun hats in the gift shop.

All of the papers were edged with Barn Board or Capri Blue PowderPuff Chalking Inks. The decorative white borders were created from white cardstock and a border punch.

The wide tan ribbon and fabulous buttons add great texture to the layout and are included in the kit! I also added zigzag machine stitching.
