Timeless Twine's June Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends!

Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend? I enjoyed the long weekend by getting caught up on some much needed chores and craft projects.

Today I want to share with you my Designer entry for Timeless Twine's June Challenge. This month the challenge is.... anything but a card. That's right, make anything other than a card, and be sure to include some Timeless Twine (or embroidery floss if you don't have any).

Here is what I created:


I've been trying to get caught up on layouts. Who am I kidding? I'll never be caught up, but I can at least get current picture done.

Details:
Papers are by DCWV.
Martha Stewart "Spider Web" edge punch and "Spider" punch around the page

Black hot fix jewels to spell "BOO" on the banner pieces
Timeless Twine in "Olive Green" and "Pumpkin Orange" on the photo mats.

Now head on over to the Timeless Twine blog for all the details and to link up your project. I can't wait to see what you create!

And, if you want to pick up some Timeless Twine, head on over to their shop.

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate, with Hexagons

Hello Friends!

Happy Saturday and Happy Memorial Day weekend (for our USA friends)!

Today it's my turn to share on the Pink By Design Stamps blog.

I made using the recently released "Big Hexagons" stamp set.

Being that it is Memorial Day weekend and summer is just around the corner, I wanted to make a Red, White, and Blue card. And I've been dying to use this new set.

Here is what I created:

Disney Pixar Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome Day 2 of the Disney/Pixar Blog Hop. (If you are looking for the Creat A Critter Blog Hop day 2, click here)

If you came from Tami's Blog, then you're on the right path. If not, then you can hop on over to Shawn's Blog and start from the beginning. There a some super creative projects being shared so you won't want to miss a single one.

For my project, I made a candy dish.

Here is a close up of the chocolate wrappers.

Here is a close up of the sentiment tag.

Here is the outside.

And here is the inside.

Details:

I started with a 12 x 12 sheet of white cardstock. Then scored and folded to create 4 inch squares. The corners are folded on a diagonal.

I then cut out squares and triangles of different Disney and Disney-ish papers from my stash. I used my ATG to glue them all down to the inside and outside.

I punched a hole in each corner, about 1/2 inch down from the corner.

Once you fold up the 4 corners, thread some coordinating ribbons/twine through the holes and tie. I added the sentiment tag to one of the ties. The label is cut using the Pink By Design "Goody Label Die". The sentiment is from the Pink By Design "Animated Greetings 2" set.

For the chocolates, I used the Pink By Design "It's A Wrap Dies" and cut out red and yellow card stock that I wrapped around the chocolates.

Now for the fun part..... Blog Candy!

The Grand Prize is a Scrappin Easlette!

For my blog candy I am giving away a $15 gift certificate to the Pink By Design store. All you need to do is be a follower, and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite Disney/Pixar character is. Easy right? Also, don't forget to leave me a way to contact you if you are the winner.
