Quick Quotes - Enjoy Life's Little Moments

***IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE CRAFTWORK CARDS BLOG HOP,

Good morning everyone!  Quick Quotes has so many products that I love and today, I decided to combine several of them! Here is a layout I created using the Just Because Paper line....

 I got a little messy with this layout! I used gesso, PowderPuff Chalking Inks and Shimmering Mist!

The quote is from the Quick Quotes Bundle Sentiment set. I felt it was perfect since the picture on the layout is 13 years old. I took this picture when I had my older children (now ages 23, 22 & 20) at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. Sometimes I can't believe how fast the time went with them at home.

For the flowers, I painted the patterned paper with gesso, then inked it in Blue Hawaiian, Very Berry, Biscotti and Mocha Mama PowderPuff Chalking Inks. I then stitched the heart in the center and finished it all off with some Shimmering Mist.

The butterflies are from the Butterflies Bag O'Chips. I love these chipboard laser die-cuts. They are thick enough to take painting and inking but are still thin enough to emboss and not add too much weight to a page. 

I wanted to show you how easy it is to emboss this chipboard so I made a video for you!
