More Inspiration with Want2Scrap and Quick Quotes!

Hello and welcome!  Susie here today capturing my daughter's senior prom memories with a layout featuring some of my favorite products from Quick Quotes and Want2Scrap!

I started with papers from the Quick Quotes' Chiffon Collection, tearing and inking the layers to add some lovely texture and character.

I included a vellum quote amongst my collage of pictures.  I have been lucky to be on the Quick Quotes Design Team for a couple of years and I pulled this one from my "stash" because it was perfect for the page.  They have created vellum quotes on such a wide array of subjects and events that you will have no problem finding one that works for any of your scrapbooking projects!

Likewise, Want2Scrap has a huge selection of Fancy Chipboard Words!  I love to alter them and use them on all of my projects: cards, layouts, canvases, and mini-albums.  There is even a way to order a custom word if you need something that is not in stock!  For this layout, I used glittery black embossing powder to alter the word "Sparkle", which I had ordered as a special request!

I used Warm Sand and Antique Linen PowderPuff Chalking Inks on the torn paper edges and then added pieces of Black Rhinestone Swirls Finesse

The multi-layered "Prom Memories" die cut was perfect for the title!  It brought a touch of class to the page by adding silver and gold glitter paper to the classic black camera and white letters.

Before you leave, take a peek at the mask my daughter is wearing in the center photo.  I brought a basic cardboard mask home from the local craft store and she added glitter and LeCreme Swirls Finesse Pearls to create a one of a kind design that perfectly coordinated with her gown!  (Yes - this crafty momma was so proud!)

Heat Embossing your Title!

Susie here today with a mixed media layout featuring a title made with one of Want2Scrap's Fancy Chipboard Words and a little embossing powder!  

I created a textured background using modeling paste and the brick stencil from Want2Scrap, using ink to blend it into the background.  I layered on papers and embellishments before topping things off with pictures of my mother-in-law from 2 very different times of her life.

I created the title by applying dark brown ink to the Fancy Chipboard Word and then added clear heat embossing. It is so easy to alter Want2Scrap chipboard using paints, inks and embossing powders.  You can quickly create a custom embellishment to match your layouts and projects!

I tucked a piece of LeCreme Swirls Finesse behind some ephemera and it is done!

Here's a close up of the photo of my mother-in-law as a young girl.  What a cutie!

A Want2Scrap Christmas Layout

Susie here on this fine Christmas morning!  I hope you are all enjoying special time with your families!  I just wanted to pop in and share a quick Christmas layout I created featuring some wonderful Want2Scrap  products:  Fancy Chipboard Words and Bling!

The papers are from the Tidings Collection by Authentique Paper.  It is a really different kind of Christmas collection.  The papers have a kraft paper base that mixes well with the traditional reds and greens of the season.  What I really appreciate is that Authentique uses the same base colors every year.  What that means is that I can take this year's release and mix it with collections from years past!

I used one of the cute cut apart cards as a caption for the photo and then embellishedalong the bottom edge with a string of hearts ribbon.  I used self-adhesive red rhinestone bling from Want2Scrap to embellish my embellishment!  Next I covered one of the Fancy Chipboard Words with red glitter.

Here's a close up of a simple embellishment cluster above the photo.  It makes me giggle because it looks like the horns are coming out of his head!  (I guess he is a little naughty!)

Merry Christmas and I hope you find some time to play today!

November Layout with Want2Scrap Chipboard

Hello everybody!  Susie here today and I want to share a fall layout featuring Want2Scrap chipboard for the title.  I needed to scrap these great pics of my mom, sister and I enjoying the autumn leaves.  I used the Nestled Collection from Authentique Papers.  I love all the texture found in the patterned paper - wood grains and knits and plaids - and Want2Scrap has the perfect Chipboard and Bling accents!

November is a Fancy Chipboard Word from Want2Scrap.  It is really easy to alter the chipboard with inks, paint, glitter and embossing powder, which is what I chose for this project.  I heat embossed it with Earthtone Nutmeg Embossing Powder.

You can see I used multiple layers to create dimension - papers, tags, twine, stickers, bling and even a charm!

Want2Scrap 72 Count Bling comes in a pack with 3 different sizes - 3mm, 6mm and 8mm.  I used all 3 sizes of the Amber bling to jazz up this sentiment/quote card:

Naked Chipboard from Want2Scrap!

Hello everybody - Susie here today and I am using naked chipboard from Want2Scrap on my layout!

Time really does fly!  My baby girl celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday!  She has grown into a generous, intelligent, loving, SWEET young lady and I could not be prouder of her!  This picture is a favorite that I snapped at our annual trip to the local pumpkin patch.  It captures her spirit so well I felt it deserved its own layout!  I used the Nestled Collection from Authentique Papers, Prima flowers, and Want2Scrap Chipboard and Bling!

The photo is a standard 4x6 and I printed it with a white border.  I created a layered  background for the picture using doilies, paper and burlap.   I adhered the word "Sweet" directly onto the photo.  Although it is really easy to alter the Fancy Chipboard Words from Want2Scrap with inks, paints, glitter, and embossing powders I decided to just leave it "naked" for this layout!

You can see that I crumpled, distressed and inked the paper behind the photo.  I created an embellishment cluster using flowers, stickers and Swirls Finesse Le Creme Pearls from Want2Scrap then tucked a tag in the back for hidden journaling.

Just peeking out from behind the flowers you can see the Chipboard Embellishment that I altered using green ink - because not all chipboard should be naked!

The Swirls Finesse Le Creme Pearls come in a 2 pack so I always snip them apart and place them around the layout.  Here you can see more pearl bling peeking out from the bottom of the embellishment cluster.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!  Susie

It's a New Year's Resolution for a lot of us.

dry brushing some Gesso.

I sanded and inked around the edges with

I added some Tissue Tape,

a transparency,

a beautiful chevron border,

some words and hardware...

a few buttons,

some bulk LOOSE bling, and 

Steel Blue Pearls
