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.

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.
