Quotes on Cards - What to do with quotes on vellum? Here you go!

Now I've got TONS of those booklets with quotes on vellum purchased from years ago!  It's so hard to figure out to do with those suckers, but here's one way I used a popular quote/phrase.  I thought it would make a nice card sentiment and added it to my card as the focal point.  You could also cut down the words into sections and glue them to your card from or scrapbook page (or whatever project you're working on).

This was such an easy card to put together.  I added a fun border sticker on the bottom and some splash of color with pink ribbon on the top.  I punched out a circle to bring more green into the card and used another die-cut sticker (the bracket looking one up at the top).  Finish off with bling-y gems or pearls!

Stickers and patterned papers are from Studio Calico.

With the new year comes New Year Resolutions!  I need to up my activity level again :)  This photo was taken a few years ago at a the Iron Girl in Seattle.  I did the 5K that day.

We ate a honkin' breakfast right after the 5K and all we could think about was finishing as fast as we could so we could go straight to breakfast.

Some fun elements of this scrapbook page:

1) Flower - I added a yellow misted flower to the top right hand corner of this scrapbook page but I put a spin on its use.  Instead of adding a flower center, I used the flower to accent the corner of my photo, adding die-cuts, bling and ribbon to frame out the photo as well.

2) Arrow - I jazzed up the die-cut arrow (I think I might have even cut it out from the patterned paper) with some adhesive gems and Liquid Pearls.

3)  Scene - I knew I wanted to add that tree to my page so to work it in, I hand cut some hills out of green card stock.  I was able to use one side as a journaling area for my scrapbook page.

I hope 2014 is treating you well so far!  Put your goals down on paper and set off to achieve them!
