When Jacque offers that pair of cute freebies, my 1st thought is to find a quote from Downton Abbey to do a page with it. Then when I saw the Doily Tutorial, I so wanna try that. So off I went browsing the store for more goodies. Then it hit me that I wanna do a black-white page to match the freebie using LBW's Black & White pp. And it fits into the Trend Watch Challenge - Doily too. But I just cannot seem to find a related Abbey's quote. So I have to switch gear to the color scheme. So here I am with my black-&-white-quote page.
My question to you is .... Do you go to ALLLLLL THAAAAAT "trouble/problem" in planning for your page? Well, I do if & when the inspiration hits me. On top of that, I LOOOOOOOOOOVE using quotes and sayings on my page. And ... do you use quotes &/or sayings on your page? If yes, maybe you can share them in here. So that I can get more inspirations myself. Or maybe you can create a new page using a quote. *wink wink*
Here's a recent page of mine which I went digging for a quote to match my photo's main attraction = Grandmother. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ !!! Putting the process down in words is bringing my mojo back manz !!!
Oh, I love browsing through quotes for inspiration. I have a Pinterest board filled with them, as well as a gmail category for them and a sticky note on my iMac dedicated to them. I need to revisit!
Oh yeees !!!!! Pinterest !!! Once I've gotten over the "always-stuck" mindset re Pinterest, I will go there for some inspirations too. But it's still a maze for me. My 1st place to search is Mr Google's.
Oh ... I just remembered that I had "liked" a few fb pages where it is stock full of quotes - Awesome Quotes, Positive Daily Quotes. I think there's one relating to the Bible and Women in general. Time to do some digging to get my mind off the hot-humid weather I'm having now. COOLIO !!!!
I loooove quotes. I am always on the lookout for something good, especially travel related since that's what a lot of my photos are about. I think if I were to do a Downton Abbey page, I'd have to find something from the Dowager Countess. She's awesome and so much material there.
Jen, when I was searching for DA's quotes, she is the only one with quotes using the word black/white. “Give him a date for when Mary’s out of mourning. No one wants to kiss a girl in black.”
Jen, I used this travel quote on a travel kit with a non-travel photo. You can see it in my blog HERE. “The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.” -G.K. Chesterton
!!!!! ANNNNNNNNEEEEE !!!!! I. So. Wanna. Kiss. !!!! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !!! I'm gonna start a board for quotes too. +++++++++++++++++++++++ That kissing quote is giving me ideas for a page. But first I have to get my hands on the appropriate kits.
I told you I love using quotes on my page, right? Here's another one for the One Word Challenge = Silly. Silliness Makes Your Soul Smile.
I am such a quote person. I too have a Pinterest board for quotes. I have a few quote sites bookmarked. I also have two books of quotes that I have used for paper scrapbooking and for sentiments in my card making. The books are well loved as I have used them for years.
I Love quotes! I usually search on goodreads for author or theme, or Google it Or song! I love to quote some lyric.
Chiara, I also love using song lyrics on my page. Esp when I have so much to say yet dunno what nor how to start. Then when I know the song lyrics say it all, that is it manz !!!! I did this mini album to scrap my wedding photos. And most of the journal are song lyrics.
I have a quote/words board on Pinterest but keep forgetting to back in there and put those on my pages! Something added to the "to do" list! Xxx
I love this!! Great quote!! I remember a quote from you at an art journal chat a very long time ago when Anne used to host them. I warned you at the time I was going to make something with it. great quote, I don't really like how the painting turned out, though.
OH MY GOSH!!!! That page is awesome!!! I love the use of two different fonts and colours. And the background effect is so befitting to the quote. I love love love the entire page!!!! Goshy!!! I do miss those chat sessions!!! Thanks for remembering my quotes, @grrfluudy *sending flying kisses & big hugs your way* I am so gonna dl this page into my PC. And also noting down this quote for my own use.
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you like it. I always planned to re-do it, but I never got around to it. I did it a while ago.
