Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace - Club Q inspiration

Hello Quick Quotes friends!  I am here today with some Club Q inspiration. I love playing with the Club Q kits. The March kit is full of gorgeous papers from the Dusty Roads collection., chipboard pieces, and die cuts. I was inspired to create this 2 page layout of one my Girl Scout troops visiting the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace in Savannah, Georgia. Juliette Gordon Low is the founder of Girl Scouts. Yes, I was a fearless Girl Scout leader for 12 years! and not just for one troop but both of my daughter's troops! Boy, did we have some fun times!! We attended a special interest session at the Birthplace where the girls learned about bygone fashions, tried on corsets and hoop skirts (which they absolutely loved doing), and learned to be proper ladies. I am sure glad fashions have changed, because it's not easy (or comfortable) to sit while wearing a corset and hoop skirt!
Alright enough talk, here is my layout ...

This was my first time using the Kiwi Lane templates. I used the Cascade Trails wavy templates to cut papers that help to emphasize my photos in the corners. The big butterfly is from the Nature templates. Isn't he fun!

I used the charcoal powderpuff chalk ink to stamp some bricks onto the paper to add some interest in the corners. You can also use your inks to give your flowers some color, like I did here.

Here you can see how I used the templates up close. Oh ya, my daughter, She's the unladylike one! lol.

Horsin Around - Artful Delight

Happy Monday everyone! Where did my weekend go!! This past week was incredibly busy. We attended Trenton's last high school parade this past Thursday. We also attended orientation at North Dakota State University. Trenton got to meet the drumline instructor and he is super pumped for the university marching band. He will be moving up there in less than a month!!  I am not sure if I am ready for him to move out yet, but I am excited to share my Artful Delight layout this week. I just love all the fun goodies Leeanne and Debbie put into these kits! I played with the mist that is included in the kit using some of the canvas butterflies as a mask. Then I just turned the butterflies over and spritzed them with some yellow mist. I like how the splatters make me think of rain when I see these photos.

I love how the butterflies seem to be flying off the page.  Here are some close-ups...

 and aren't I clever to use the number tags for the troop number!

Look at what else is included in the July kits....
