Welcome!

Welcome to my blog on the "Get to Know the DT Blog Hop" sponsored by Quick Quotes. I am so excited to be working with this wonderful company! Seriously, they are so generous. They are not only giving prizes for this blog hop, but are currently giving away $3,000 in prizes in 30 days. It is still going on, so be sure to check at the Quick Quotes Blog daily.

I am lucky enough to be offering this Blog Candy!
In order to win you just need to do 3 things:

#1 become a follower
#2 leave a comment
#3 check the main QQ blog on Sunday the 24th when all winners will be announced

Here are a couple of projects I have done using the Savvy Davvy paper collection. I love the bright bold colors of this collection. It just screams summer fun to me!







I made this album to take with me on my vacation. All the inside pages are 6x6 so I could journal while on vacation and then just add my photos when I returned. I inked a hand print of each of my girls so I would remember just what size they were. The powderpuff inks are perfect for this. They are stamped on canvas and make up the back page. The front cover is canvas as well. This was part of the June Club Q.





I also created this fun summer layout with the Savvy Davvy collection.
You can tell I love to use inks and distress my edges. Quick Quotes inks are so rich and full of color. They are perfect for inking those edges.

Thanks so much for visiting. I have loved sharing a little of my style and some of my Quick Quotes creations with you.
