For The Love Of Quotes!

Fabulous Friday wishes to you from Kay here at Club Scrap!

I've been wanting to share my love for quotes in paper crafting, so here I am doing just that! Each month I look forward to the new quotes on the Club Scrap rubber stamps, cutaparts and diecuts while I cherish my old favorites.

Looking back a bit, we've had silly quotes....


...and more serious quotes,

quotes that are good advice..

and quotes that are well wishing.


I've used quotes on projects...


...on wood...


...on houses...


...on eggs...


...on canvas...


...in the cork of a bottle...


...inside a teeny bottle (does OX OX count as a quote?)



...rolled up and in a glass bulb for Christmas gifts...


...and, on a scroll as an ornament.


I've used quotes to decorate boxes...


....even if the box is in the shape of a flip flop.


Of course I've used rubber stamped quotes to decorate books, lots of books!



Large...

or small..

never underestimate the power of a quote!

Don't "quote" me on this, or more like, you CAN quote me on this - I think Club Scrap has the best quotes ever!

I know many of you are quote lovers also - if you've got a quote on your mind that you've been dying to see made into a rubber stamp, I've started a thread on the CS Community so that you can make your requests there: http://www.clubscrapcommunity.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19293.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks for stopping by,
Kay and Club Scrap

Digital Greetings and Facebook

Happy Thursday! Ron from Club Scrap here. Today I'd like to take a few moments and talk about Facebook and how you can make an impact with digital greeting cards.

I'll venture to guess that most of the readers here are also on Facebook. I know I am - a few years ago, my sister Renee told me that if I want to see up to date photos of my nieces, I needed to be on Facebook; now I have over 250 Facebook friends! One of Facebook's many features is a notification to let you know that one of your friends is having a birthday, at which point, all of that person's friends send some type of 'Happy Birthday' message and the lucky recipient get's dozens of well wishes for that special day. Unfortunately, all of those greetings start to look alike because they're just simple little text messages.

Wanna make your 'Happy Birthday' message stand out from the rest? Make a digital greeting using a Club Scrap Digital™ kit!

Bold Blooms

Digital cards are really easy to make - typically, they take a lot less time than a layout to make and when you share them with your friends on Facebook (or email, if you wanna go that route), people notice!
Pure & Simple

If you find yourself with a few minutes to spare, make a digital card or two and create a digital 'stash' for yourself. And don't limit yourself to just birthday cards - 'Thinking of You,'  'Happy Anniversary,' 'Thank You,' & 'Just to say Hi' cards can also come in handy!


Mixed Kit card

Then the next time Facebook reminds you that your friend is having a birthday (or you see a post that lets you know that someone needs a virtual hug), send them a digital greeting - it will let them know how very special they are to you!
