Quick Quotes Project

Good morning crafty friends,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with relaxation and all kinds of crafty goodness! I wanted to share a project today that I created for the fabulous Quick Quotes Design Team. Here it is!

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a close up of the flowers and the butterflies.

Here is a close up of the smaller photo mats and the vellum quote.

Here is the layout Recipe:

I used the Quick Quotes Club Q kit from August. It contained the bracket frames, chipboard butterfly as well as the beautiful Miss Morgan Designer Paper.

Note: When this kit is sold out, you can easily recreate this layout by purchasing the beautiful Miss Morgan papers and utilizing your Cricut to cut out the bracket frames and butterflies.

I used my Midnight Confessions and Purple Passion Powder Puff Chalk Inks to ink the edges of the mattes the the flowers.

I used Light, Medium and Dark Purple Bazzill cardstock as well as brown and white.

I used my Lovely Floral Cricut Cartridge to cut the flourishes and the Bloom Cartridge for the flowers.

The cardstock Butterflies, and borders were created from some punches. I finished off the chipboard butterfly with some distress stickles.

Lastly, the beautiful quote is from the Babies, Kids and Families Itty Bitty quote box set.

Now head over to the QQ blog to see what the other designers are up to and enter our Fabulous Friday Challenge. 

Be sure to come back by tomorrow when we reveal our next: Wonderful Wednesday challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Challenge #51: Heritage/Grandparents

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's weekly challenge!  In honor of Grandparent's Day (September 11), the Design Team was challenged to create a project about or for their grandparents or a heritage project.  Almost everyone has a fond memory of a grandparent or older adult who played that role in their lives.  Some are even lucky enough to have memories of or still have their great-grandparents in their lives.  They are our connection to our roots.  And if we ask the right questions, they will provide us with immeasurable wealth -- stories of their past -- of our past!

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley
