Good Morning
and
Happy New Year!!!!
I can tell 2013 is going to be an AWESOME year!!
That being said I have
 some very exciting news to share!!!
I have been holding this in for a LONG while now and I am bursting at the seams with excitement....
Now I can finally share.....
small dt logo
EEKK!! I am super excited to be a new DT member over at
Trendy Twine!!
I sure LOVE my Trendy Twine and can not wait to share more projects with you all using this beautiful twine...
So for my first project I wanted to share a
"New Year's Card"
CAS and packed with yummy Trendy Twine in 
a mix of White, Black and Grey
Image of Midnight Trendy Twine {Black, White, & Gray Bakers Twine}

Here is a close-up of the numbers
I think they look awesome with the twine behind them
What do you think???
Bet you would like to know how to do this...
it is actually very easy....
Using my Cameo I cut the top layer of my card...Just a white piece of card stock with the numbers 2013 arranged by me down the side.
Once that was cut on the reverse side I cut several pieces of twine...laid them side by side to cover the numbers and then taped them all down...making sure they would not shift at all.
So you couldn't see any of the tape or twine in the back I layered my white card stock with black card stock then pop dotted the whole mat up on my black card base.
I finished my card off with some score lines down the side and across the bottom,
and then a few random gems.

Make sure to hop over to the 
Trendy Twine blog
for more New Year's projects and to welcome the new DT!!
Plus there is an AWESOME giveaway going on...
one lucky person will win this...

All the details are on the Trendy Twine blog

Thanks for stopping by 
and
 Happy New Year!!
