Stash Your Stash Blog Hop with The Twinery

Hello and welcome to my stop on The Twinery's Stash your Stash blog hop.  If you have come from Jeanne Jachna's blog, you are in the right spot.  If you have just happened upon this post and would like to join us, you can hop on back to The Twinery blog to get started at the beginning.

Today we are sharing how we store our twine.  I actually have two places that I store my twine rolls.  The first is on a pegboard system:

I started by storing my twine this way when I had quite a few of them.  I love how pretty they look all lined up in a row.  For those who follow my blog, you may know that I just recently moved and have been setting up my scrapping space.  This is one of the first things that went up because it has lots of ways to store different products.  I need to get some more pegs and put up some more twine that I still have in a box from our move.  Here is a closer look at the twine rolls.....

I also was on the design team for Ribbon Carousel for a while and as compensation for my time, I received a ribbon carousel from them.  I don't know if she is still making them, but here is what mine looks like with all that pretty solid bakers twine on it. 

It looks like they might still be sold on Amazon (Ribbon Carousel) so you might be able to get one there.

Nicole with The Twinery is generously giving away a Striped Twine sampler ($18 value) on each of the blog hop stops....that means that if you leave a comment on each blog, that is an entry into each drawing and more chances to win!!

Caribbean Twine Spotlight Blog Hop with The Twinery

Hello and welcome to my stop on the Caribbean Twine Spotlight Blog Hop.  I am excited that you are joining us today on this fabulous hop and I hope that you will get some great ideas along the way.  If you have arrived from Tifany DeGough's blog, you are in the right spot.  If you have just happened up on this post and would like to join us, hop on back to The Twinery blog to start at the beginning and to get all the details.

For my project today, I am sharing a set of 4 large tags with a summer/beach theme.  Take a look....

I started with a tag base that I cut from THIS die.  I then cut some waves with the negative space from a scallop die.  I layered them onto the tags and then added a sandy beach with a light tan cardstock that I inked the edges on.  I added a sun and the fun summer themed images on each of them...they were all cut with my Silhouette and from the Silhouette store.  I finished them off with some Caribbean bakers twine, a button, and a sentiment from SRM Stickers.  Here is a closer look at each of the tags......

Aren't these so fun??  I just love how they turned out.....they are so warm and summery (er...is that even a word?), they make me want to go to the beach right now.  :)

Here are the two beautiful spools of  Caribbean bakers twine available in The Twinery Store:

Peachy Keen Stamps and Miss Kate Cuttables Blog Hop {Day 5}

Hello again!!  Welcome to my stop on the Peachy Keen Stamps and Miss Kate Cuttables Blog Hop {Day 5}.  This is my second day to be participating and I can't wait to share my project with you.  If you missed my first post, you can scroll down to check out the cute reindeer tin I shared a couple of days ago.

If you are just joining here and would like to join us for the whole hop, click on over to the Peachy Keen Stamps blog to get all the details and to get started.

For my project, I created some cute little treat holders and decorated them with the cute little penguins from the Brrrr, It's Cold! cut file from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I used the Winter Wonderland face assortment for the faces and the July 2013 SOTM from Peachy Keen Stamps for the sentiment.  Both of these stamp sets are a part of the November Specials over at PKS.  Here is a look a each one.....

I added a bit of texture to these 3x3 tri-fold cards with a Winter Flurry embossing folder.  I lightly painted over the embossing with some white paint.  I tied them all up with some solid bakers twine from The Twinery.

Here is what they look like on the inside.  I used a glue dot and adhered these little York peppermint patties to the inside.

Now, what fun is a blog hop without a FABULOUS prize??
The Peachy Keen Stamps prize for one lucky blog hopper is a $25.00 Gift Certificate for each day of comments and then at the end of our event, ONE lucky blog hopper will win a $75.00 Gift Certificate from all the comments for the week.

Peachy Keen Stamps and Miss Kate Cuttables Holiday Blog Hop {Day 2}

Hello and welcome to my stop on the Peachy Keen Stamps and Miss Kate Cuttables Holiday Blog Hop {Day 2}. 

Today I am sharing a project that I created with the fabulous die cuts from Miss Kate Cuttables, combined with the awesome face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.  If you would like to join us on this super fun hop, click on over to the Peachy Keen Stamps blog for the details and to get started.

I decorated this tin with the Jolly Holiday SVG, that I cut on my Sillhouette, from Miss Kate Cuttables and combined it with the Everyday Character Face Parts from Peachy Keen Stamps.   

I covered my tin with some embossed cardstock that I embossed with the Winter Flurry embossing folder from Taylored Expressions and what I have left of some Christmas papers from Imagenisce.  Here is a closer look at my cutie patootie reindeer.....

I inked him up with some Colorbox fluid chalk and then stamped his face and added some pink chalk to the cheeks and white pen details for his eyes and cheeks.  Isn't he the cutest??  I don't know whether to fill him with cookies and give him away, or keep him for myself.  To finish off my tin I added some light green twill ribbon and added a button and Solid Natural bakers twine from The Twinery.

Now, what fun is a blog hop without a FABULOUS prize??

I got to work with the lovely Heritage paper line from Ruby Rock-It and decided that it would be perfect for a layout of my grandparents.  Take a peek....

The colors and patterns in these papers are fabulous!!  I love how they really make this black and white photo of my grandparents POP on this layout.  I tied some of the Solid Natural bakers twine from The Twinery around the lower half of the layout.  I also tied some to pins that I added in a couple of different places on my layout.  Take a closer look at my project.....

I really LOVE the way this layout turned out....such a great way to honor two of the people who had so much influence on my childhood.  I used this title on my layout because my grandmother had it on display in her home next to the pictures of her children and grandchildren. 

Here are the fabulous prizes to be won on this awesome blog hop.....
