It's a PTI Color Challenge today

 

It's a color challenge from PTI with a little Subway style sentiment.   This is one of my favorite stamp sets from PTI and I love the giraffe in pink.   This card will be going out soon.

Another one done PTI sketch challenge

I don't remember the number of this sketch but it works great with the PTI die frame here. A little twine and authentique paper and it is set to go. Valentines or wedding.

Bakers Twine the perfect tag attacher

Yes I know that attacher isn't a real word but it works here.   I love how easy bakers twine threads through the hole of a tag.   I love tiny tags too.   Here it is hard at work.

Touch Twin Challenge Color Inspiration

Oh what fun that challenge was.   Love all of the colors found in the color challenge found at Touch Twin Challenge Blog.   I really hope I am the winner this week.   Pop over to their blog and check it out.  Bright and fun colors.   Many of the items found here can be found here http://www.scrapbookdoodle.com/  Such as the stamps, the pattern paper, the washi tape need I say more.   Of course the twine came from my shop.

Taking care of several things at once.  First this is Papertrey Ink's blog hop challenge.   The challenge was to use some beautiful bolts of fabric in teals, sky blues, several pinks as inspiration.   One of the fabrics was a polka dot too.   This is my take on the challenge using several of their products along with bakers twine.  Papertrey ink items the two border die cuts, the flower die cut, the Happy Day label and die cut and last the little heart is one of their die cuts too.   The bit of bakers twine and seam binding is from my shop.

 Every Mother needs a heart felt card this day along with something sweet written inside.  So lets tie up something for Mom coming soon.

Make it Monday #62 Layer's upon Layers.

I thought this challenge would be fun and easy.  Then I was stumped on what to do.   I went back and looked at Betsy's video again and opened up my stamps and this is what I came up with.   I am loving stamping my own backgrounds.   I used foam and pop dots.   I love the label that is double stamped and very easy to hand cut.   So which topper do you like best.....seam binding or the twine?  Thanks for stopping by.

Easter Week Goodies to share

I am not much into the Easter Bunny.   I love the colors of spring, the birds unless they are eating my garden, and dying the eggs.   But any holiday is good for chocolate too.  I am going to post a new project with either instructions or links for how to's for the things made.   Most of my projects use the Belle Blvd paper and stickers found in Scrapbookdoodle.com.  

I love these little baskets.   Perfect for shower favors, office treats, and table decor.   Of course I made them out of Easter paper and with just a touch of twine here and there on them.     Instructions to come.

Banners Big and Small

Banners Big and Small need twine.   Well that is my opinion but I think they all would look better.   How goes your twine use?   I find myself using it daily.   I tied up some bread I baked in twine, adding it to die cuts and last banners.   Love the small banners found on scrapbook pages these days.   I hear photographers are going gaga for twine.   If you are a photographer and need twine head to the shop and mention this post and the name of your company and a discount is yours.  Good until the end of the month.

Welcome to the Leap Around the World Blog Hop

Did you leap here?   I hope so.   Wasn't Andrea's sketch and card fantastic?  Feeling creative after that leap?   I hope so again.  I love my sketch I received to play with and here it is the sketch that is mine to play with.   By now you might know all of the rules but if not they will be explained later in this post.

 

Here is the card that I made with that sketch. It is 2-9-12, Leap28  I plan on doing 3 more cards so please stop back by my plan is one for each season.   Here is winter.

Yes I took some liberty's on the sketch but I  do love it.  It is a sketch.  The materials for this card came from the Winter Wonderland kit from Scrapbookdoodle.com, A snowflake embossing folder, and The stamps are from Papertrey ink and of course the twine from talkingtwineandtrim.   My twine shop.
