God's Designer Labels

Hi there I'm here with my project for today's featured stamp set 'Designer Labels".
This is a fun set from the Color By Faith series. I am loving this stamp set as it can be used for your bible journaling or cards.


I used the set in my bible focusing on the sentiment. I found that the best ink for those thin pages in the bible is chalk ink. Then I colored my labels with water base dye ink markers.


This set has 25 stamps, 6x8 stamp set. I cannot wait to make some cards with this set. You can purchase that HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Not so clean

Happy Monday! This morning I wanted to share how I decorated my "not so pretty" notes, I been writing on my journaling bible.

I am using Simon Says Stamp Favorite Flowers with some My Favorite Things inks.

Just wanted to show, that you can start writing and noting, then decorate your page. Besides the point of journaling on our Bibles isn't about pretty, but about getting into the Word more often.

I am finding that my devotional reading and journaling has become a daily morning routine.

Well, thanks for stopping by today, I hope that this brings a bit of encouragement to begin bible journaling if its something you been contemplating. There is no "right" way of doing it.

Blessings to you this week!

Its winter in Wyoming! We got up to 20F today, so I decided to stay inside and make some cards to play along with a few challenges.

I was inspired by taylored expressions challenge. The snow you see is real, I braved -10 and I ran out for few minutes to get some real flurries in. :)

Farewell Post from Crystal

Hi there! I'm here with my last post for Quick Quotes. I am stepping down the design team for 2016, giving others the opportunity to be part of this amazing group of people.

For my farewell post, I want to share some of my favorite projects from 2015!

To start I have a card with Quick Quotes Chalking Inks from March 2015.

Original post click HERE  

 Next up is a fun box made in collaboration with Petaloo in May 2015.0

and to finish up is a fun and easy card.

This year I also had the opportunity to attend one of Quick Quotes Mini Reserve.  I flew to Seattle, hung out with friends and got to meet the Quick Quotes crew. I had never attended a scrap booking retreat and from my experience I will start! The pages, goodies and knowledge captured at the event is well worth the fee. 

Giveaway prizes! (I won a printer)

One of the many layouts

Myself, friend Holly and friend Heather.

Thank you so much for following my journey with Quick Quotes, it has been an absolute blessing!
