weekly challenge | Laura Kurz & Kinsey Wilson

From Laura : I love using quotes on my pages...simply because I think sometimes other people have better words for what I am feeling! Pinterest has been a great resource for me for finding quotes for my pages, and I also use the website GoodReads a lot.

I do a tag insert on most of my Project Life spreads. A lot of times this just includes the date (and maybe my kid's initials), but I decided to mix things up a little bit for this spread and include a quote about winter on my tag.

I love the subtle look of Calico Shine, there's also something very-winter-like about it to me. Once the mist had dried well, I ran the tag through my printer for the quote, and then adhered the banner with the letter stickers with my sewing machine.

supplies - mask : Studio Calico Here & there V Pattern Mask; mist - Mister Huey's Calico Shine; paper : Sundrifter-Tidewater ; alpha stickers : Neverland Project Life Kit; Tag : Large White Tags

From Kinsey : I love incorporating quotes and lyrics in my layouts whether by way of journaling, title work, or as a stand alone accent/embellishment. So of course this challenge was right up my alley. Like Laura, I'm always on the lookout on Pinterest for good quotes and that's where I found the quote I featured on my layout today. Because it's pretty wordy, I decided to fill most of the page with it and incorporate it as a background, a title, and journaling. I created a .studio file and cut everything from the background patterned paper and then backed different sections with several different papers from the Here & There line.

For those of you who love text based cut files as much as I do, we're giving it away today free! Just click here to download the diecut file.
