Happy Halloween Bow card


I have just a few more Halloween cards, this is a Pinterest inspired card.  The card on Pinterest is made from Close to My Heart products including the Artiste Cricut Cart.  I used the Tim Holtz tattered bows die from Sizzix.  I used some Halloween paper I received in a Secret Sister package.  I can think of doing this in a dozen different themes!


Thanks for stopping by!

Whistlin Dixie Bold and Bright Teen Layout

Good morning Quick Quotes readers!  Alicia with you today still chugging along on my family vacation album. Today I have a layout with the vibrant Whistlin Dixie collection which are now my favorite papers for teenage layouts.


My favorite way to make the most of a beautiful sheet of paper is to fussy cut the pretty parts.  Which is exactly what I did here with this piece of Whistlin Dixie 103 paper.  The flourish design is so bright and beautiful just like my niece!  I also cut out strips from Whistlin Dixie 100 paper.  I love papers that you can cut up for embellishments.  I had the most fun cutting various flowers and layering them for this bold and bright teen layout.  Of course, I inked all the edges and crumpled them a bit for a distressed look.  My new favorite chalking ink is Coal Miner, it looks great with every thing! I finished off the flowers with some bling.


I had so much fun making the flowers I made a card with the scraps.  It doesn't look like a card from scraps at all!  I used Kiwi Lane templates to make the twist layer.  It turned out to be such a bold and bright card but balanced with the blacks and greys from 49 Shades of Grey.




Quick Quotes Products used:
Whistlin Dixie 100 paper
Whistlin Dixie 103 paper
Whistlin Dixie 105 paper
Whistlin Dixie 106 paper
Whistlin Dixie 107 paper
