Quick Quotes Cruise Book

Here's the next stop -- Saint Martin or Sint Maarten, depending on whether you were on the French or Dutch half of the island. We went on a zip line adventure tour here -- we had to walk on ropes and little bridges suspended from trees. It was really fun!

There was a family ahead of us on the zip line tour that had a college age kid who was a gymnast. The mom was afraid of heights and the dad was a little overweight and out of shape. We saw them later that night in the dining room of the cruise ship and shared a laugh with them because the dad was really worn out but the kids were totally fine!!

When I showed this book at Show and Tell, my scrapbook friends said they used to love magic mesh and forget to use it. I love it, too -- it adds dimension and is just fun!

All the paper is from Quick Quotes -- I bought an extra kit just to have enough paper for the whole book. Awesome beach colors with the blues & oranges, I think.

Another page from QQ Cruise Book

Okay, tonight I'm trying to remember to crop the photo. I really need to get Photoshop but it is so darn expensive!!

Here's the next page in the Quick Quotes book I made of our Caribbean cruise at Christmas last year. Last page was Aruba, this is of Curacao -- I even bought a special alphabet from Quickutz just so I'd have a squiggly "c" for this page!!

Quick Quotes Cruise Book

Here is the first set of pages from the Quick Quotes book -- gosh it was a fun book to make! I made most of the book while we were in Dallas earlier this year to see the King Tut exhibit.

Front of Quick Quotes Cruise Book

This is one of the really cool Quick Quotes kits from earlier this year. I made an easy book of our Christmas cruise to Puerto Rico & Caribbean islands last year. It was a perfect design for a trip like a cruise where you only spend a little time at each place.

Making the book was really fun, too. The front and back are canvas -- I used Stampin' Up ink instead of the QQ chalk ink so the inking turned out a little bolder than the examples from QQ.

Thanks for taking a look -- I'll post the rest of the pages later.

Whoo's Birthday? Card

Here's a birthday card that I put together for Andy's mom. I was inspired to use the forest animals because I had seen a really cute book with Owls that my sister had made for her daughter's outdoor camp. She did a great job with Owls and I thought I'd give the little guys a try.

The forest animals and printed paper are from Friendly Forest by Colorbok, cardstock from Club Scrap (of course), and the frame & letters were all Sizzix dies. Fun!



Since they live near Forks,WA, we got her a copy of Twilight and some Moonlight Path lotions & shower gels from Bath & Body Works. I usually go for the fruity scents, but I spritzed some on my wrist and have been loving it all day -- probably not the scent that Edward found so attractive of Bella-- ha ha!!


Not sure if the Owl card goes with the Twilight theme or not, but it was fun to make! (I took the photo at pretty low resolution so it would post up to Blogger -- I'm not especially happy with the photo, though.)




Thanks for taking a look at my card!
