5/30/12 Trendy Twine Guest Design Team Post

This is my last post as guest designer for Trendy Twine and I have had a blast these last two weeks creating some fun projects.  I love My Favorite Things dies and punched one out and then put adhesive on the flower and would the twine around.  I then rolled my flower and made a center of twine for the middle.  This was really fun to make and I am in love with this twine.  You can check out the Trendy Twine blog and store for this color as well as many more.  There are also new colors coming, woo hoo, can't wait.

Aaaah, Sweet Summery Strawberries

Lisa gave me this fruit basket to work with this month and when I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I love strawberries and knew I had found this paper strawberry template that I wanted to try out. I cut the strawberries out of red cardstock using the template and the tops from green cardstock. I ran the strawberry shape through my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then punched a hole in each spot indicated in the pattern and threaded through the twine and pulled it tight and tied it off. I then added the top and tied a bow. So easy and such a beautiful presentation.  You should check out the blog, there are lots of wonderful projects there.





Project Materials: Bazzill Cardstock, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, The Twinery twine, strawberry pattern.

See you soon. Hugs,

5/23/12 Trendy Twine Guest Design Project

Here is my Guest Design team entry for Trendy Twine.  I love the verigated colors of the twine and Lesley is so fabulous to work with.  I made paper beads with this gorgeous new Prima line and used their matching paper flowers and charm to complete my bracelet.  Purple is my favorite color and I love how this came out.  I put Glossy accents on the beads and flowers so they are shiny and so that they will last.  Be sure to pop on over to the blog and store and see all the goodies there.  See you next week.  Hugs,

5/23/12 LCOM Card Sketch

This is my take on Jerusha's sketch for this week.  It was a fun one.  I used a tooth pick and covered it with twine for the mast.  I am having a great time with the Doodlebug Snips and Snails papers.  Be sure to check out what the rest of the team has done at the LCOM Sketch Blog.
