Xyron and Quick Quotes - Day Two!

What a great response we had yesterday - seems like I'm not the only one who is ready for Fall!  :) Today I am excited to show you how versatile Quick Quotes' patterned papers can be.  Linda Abadie, one of Xyron's DT members, and I got the same pack of paper to work with, and I was totally blown away with what she created and how differently we used the papers.  So first I'll show you my banner:

Supply List:
Quick Quotes Cherry Truffle collection
Quick Quotes Fall Sweet Fall vellum quote
Quick Quotes Leaves Bag 'o Chips
Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Mango Mai Tai
Xyron 9" Creative Station with Permanent Adhesive
Xyron Magic Sticker Maker
Maya Road Pendant Chipboard Album
WRMK Crop-A-Dile
Tim Holtz Grungeboard Alphas
Homemade Foam Tape
Scissors, craft knife and mat, sandpaper, coordinating ribbon and buttons


Now look at Linda's GORGEOUS card, also using the Cherry Truffle paper pack!  I love it!

Not only did she create this fabulous card, she created two more projects that are just as lovely - head on over to her blog to see for yourself!

Don't forget - we're doing a giveaway here on the blog every day this week, so just leave a comment and you'll be entered to win a six-pack of Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks! Then tricky trot yourself on over to the Quick Quotes blog for more great project ideas and another giveaway - and check back tomorrow for even more inspiration!  Thanks everybody!

    I'm thinking of doing a banner of my name, with each letter a diffferent color, in my craftroom. Maybe just easier to use a solid background and a print Letter, or vice versa I dunno - but I do love banners !

    I love the Fall banner - as much as I hate the coming rain, I love the fall season and watching the leaves turn and cuddling in a nice fuzzy sweater. That banner brings it on!

    First of all, Fall is my favorite season - I like the colors and the changing leaves. I miss the leaves changing as I now live in Florida, used to live in NE Illinois. Second, I think I will scrap lift the "thinking of you" card - it's "loverly!"
