Notes

Hello my crafty friends! Yvonne here with another Trendy Twine - Chocolate Sprinkles twine project for you. I absolutely love this color combo. The blue is so soft and the chocolate brown, Yummy!

My project starts with a notebook from the Dollar Tree. (Seriously one of my favorite stores for crafty goodness) I then added some designer paper to the cover, edged the top and bottom with scraps of paper and used an edge punch to add some detail.  Tied it up with a bow and then added my scalloped twine NOTES label. 

Doesn't that twine look just amazing.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my project and that maybe it inspired you enough to join us for the Trendy Twine September Challenge. If you need some of this fantastic twine you still have time to get it on sale here!

Have a great day!

Yvonne

Trendy Twine Guest Designer

HELLO and Happy New Years Eve Eve! I'm excited to share with you a project I made for Trendy Twine. When they asked me to be a guest designer I was so excited and I accepted immediately!!! I absolutely LOVE this twine and the colors that are available are fun and unique.

With New Years right around the corner, I decided to make some party poppers. And since I am expecting my own baby new year I decided to use the Blue Berry and Strawberry Cupcake Trendy twine for a theme of Pink and Blue. My family will have fun opening up these poppers to find Happy New Year necklaces and Hershey Kisses for a midnight treat.

For the pink popper I used a half of a toilet paper roll, pink shimmer tissue paper, Blue Berry twine, My Creative Time's: fancy label die and the "Cheers" stamp from the Small Talk stamp set, Peachy Keen's New Years Faces stamp and Stickles.

For the blue popper I used a half of a toilet paper roll, blue glitter tissue paper, Strawberry Cupcake twine, My Creative Time's: fancy label die and the "Happy New Year" stamp from the Small Talk stamp set, Peachy Keen stamps and Stickles. 

I hope you enjoyed my New Years project today. Please stop by Trendy Twines blog to see all the amazing projects they have there. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Welcome to Challenge #33 with Celebrate The Occasion!

This week we are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness month by making it the theme of our challenge. The entire Design Team has created beautiful projects to inspire all of you.

Having lost my Mother to Breast Cancer and knowing that her Mother also had it is motivation enough for me to remember to get checked and complete all the necessary and preventative exams. 

I created these note cards of encouragement with my Mother in mind. I hope you join us this week and create something special for someone you know fighting this fight or in Memory of a loved one.

First Day of School!

Today my girls went back to school and with them I decided to send along gifts and treats! Gifts for the teachers, aids and office staff and treats for my girls. :) I used DCWV grade school paper stack, My Creative Time's Stamps and Dies, my Cricut and Peachy Keen Face stamps.

My girls will find these fun cards in their snack bags at recess along with a couple treats.

These are corner bookmarks I made for the girls homeroom teachers and their aids. I bundled them together in a pencil box with a tall bookmark, pens, pencils a highlighter and peppermints.

  

                       

   

 For the office staff, PE & Computer teachers and the Librarian, I made these happy apple cards. Inside they'll find a Ghirardelli dark chocolate square with caramel.

I also gave the office staff post it note holders.

Lots of goodies that hopefully brought a smile to some amazing teachers, staff and the best little girls I know!!! I can't wait to pick up them up and see how their first day went! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day too.

My Creative Time - Throwback Thursday

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

For this challenge Emma wanted us to use either the "Paper Doll Dress Up" OR "Everyday Paper Doll" cartridge and the project MUST include either heat or dry embossing on it!

For my project I decided to use the Everyday Paper Doll cartridge to make a A2 size card. I enlarged the hand cuffs from the policeman accessories to 3 1/4" and shadowed it with a 3 1/2" layer. I cut and embossed a tag layer at 3 3/4" and shadowed it with a 4" layer. The hearts are cut at 3/4" and 1 1/4" and the sentiment "Your Heart Belongs to Me" is from My Creative Time's new stamp set:

"You had me at Chocolate".

~Here's my Card!~
