Birthday Twine for Friday Mashup

The first full week of 2014 is ending, and can I just say THANK YOU! :) A nasty virus moved through my house over Christmas break, hitting my husband and 2 boys, but it so kindly held off until this week for me. Wasn't that nice of it? NOT Thank goodness for Dayquil, it has been my best friend the last few days!

Stamping makes me feel better also, and this Friday Mashup challenge from Holly is a nice one. She wants use to create a birthday project, and to also use twine on it. Observant folks may notice that my layout looks pretty familiar....if you look on page 15 of the SU catalog you'll see where my layout come from! I changed up the color of the cardstock and DSP and used twine along the sides instead of stitching. Nice and easy card!

I hope you'll come by The Friday Mashup and play along with us!

1. Create a project with "Twine."

Deer Christmas for TTS#4

It's time for another challenge over at 'Tis The Season! This time we have some great colors for you.....Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar with an added option of twine.

I used last weeks sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as a starting point. I grabbed the Remembering Christmas set and used the deer for the main image. I know I've said it before but I just love this stamp! It will get plenty of use throughout the year, that's for sure.

Cherry Cobbler DSP was used for the background and my layers are Marina Mist DSP. I had trouble incorporating the twine and finally I decided on putting a little bow on my deer. I cut out my sentiment with a Bitty Banner framelit, popped it up with dimensionals and called the card good to go :)

I hope you'll come over to 'Tis The Season and play along with us, we'd love to have you!

Friday Mashup Band and Twine

** So much for scheduled posting...it doesnt work half the time! Sorry my post is late**

This week our Friday Mashup challenge comes from Kim and she says:

1. Make a project featuring "A Belly Band".

2. Or Make a project using "Twine".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project "Using Twine with a Belly Band

Now I wont lie, I had no clue what the heck a belly band was and had to ask. My fellow DT members explained it to me and I went "ohhhhhhh", LOL. I guess I have never seen one before, and if I have I didnt pay attention to it!

I grabbed the DSP that I am currently enthralled with...Spice Cake! How beautiful is this paper? I am going to have to buy a bunch more of it and stock up for use throughout the year! I also MASHED it up and featured a belly band that also used twine!

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):

Stamps: Season of Friendship, Hand-Penned Holidays

Paper: Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Very Vanilla, Spice Cake DSP

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler
