EAD Designs Holiday Blog Hop......{Post 1}

Morning and Happy Monday Everyone!!

I have a very busy day up on my blog today....3 posts in total so if you are looking for

~my Trendy Twine project click HERE

~my Kraft Journal project click HERE

We are doing it again..... There's a group of us that are EAD Designs fans so we decided to inspire each other to use our goodies!  For those of you that don't remember, EAD Designs designed vinyl stickers and rub-ons.  Awesome products but the company closed up shop about a year ago.

What all of our projects will have in common is that we are all using EAD Design supplies with a holiday flair!

Want a chance to win some EAD Designs and some other goodies?  

Make sure to leave a comment on all of the blogs listed below for a chance to win! 

 There will be 4 winners!!!

You should be coming from 
Amy  
She is the start of our mini hop....
Make sure to check out her project before moving along......

Now onto my card.....
I used the current sketch from
The Deconstructed Sketch

And designed this card.....

I started with a Kraft Cardstock base and used the designer papers from 

Echo Park~Season's Greetings. 

I designed my whole LO in the Silhouette Studio and cut the circles with my Cameo.

Since EAD Designs is no longer open I don't know the exact name of the stickers I used and can not link back to it :( But it was the perfect sized sentiment for my circle cut.

I embellished my card using my sewing machine, a button from my stash, some hemp twine and some enamel dots... which BTW I LOVE and have to add some more to my crafty stash.

Now it is time to hop along to 

Julie Smith

remember to comment all along the line-up and maybe you will be one of the lucky 4 to win a prize pack.

 Commenting will be open until Friday, December 6th, 2013 @ 11:59 pm Pacific. 

  Prizes must be claimed within 1 week of the blog hop.

I will be back in a few hours with my Trendy Twine DT project...
Busy Busy Busy!

It's Always Nice to Wish the Best....... w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!!!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog and I am very excited to share my project with you all!

This month we are featuring 

 Twisted Lime Trendy Twine

It's currently on sale for $7.95 a spool! FAB deal so make sure you check it out!

There are also a whole bunch of new mini's added to the store and those too are all on sale!

You can check them out HERE

Onto my project....

If you are a blog follower of mine, then you know I love to create CAS cards... and I am always on the lookout for different ways to use my twine.

So for my card today I went with just that... CAS design and let the twine be my burst of color...

Hope you like it!

As I was digging through my stamps trying to come up with an idea for my card I found my container of eyelets and since I had not used them in like FOREVER on a project other than for tags the ideas began to come. 

Then sitting on my desk was this month's new release Pillow Talk from The Alley Way Stamps and I thought incorporating those two products could make for a fun card. And so this was created :)

Here is a close-up of the stamping and how I used the eyelets and Trendy Twine.

Don't you think that this twine gives such a GREAT pop of color??

I really love the way this turned out :)

Well that is all I have for you today!

 Don't forget about this month's challenge~

"Going Green"

~St. Patrick's Day with a clover, leprechaun, or both

~Monochromatic green (shades of green; no other colors)

and 

~Trendy Twine

You still have time to enter and we would LOVE to see all those projects!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you all have a GREAT Monday!!!

Today is a very sad day for the DT of EAD Designs.

 Monday was our official last blog hop but the DT got together and decided to end the month and the last day of EAD Designs and share another blog hop :(
So you should be coming from
Jenn's Blog 
if you want to start from the beginning head on back to
Amy's

I have had the great pleasure of working with Emily and these amazingly talented ladies for almost a year now and every Monday has proved to be both inspirational for me but hopefully for you. 

So instead of sharing a new project with you showing products from EAD Designs which you can no longer purchase I thought I would recap some of my favorite projects from the past year...

I really hope you have enjoyed looking at some of my favorite projects using

EAD Designs vinyl and stickerz.

I am really going to miss being on this team!

So I am out...that is it...but I still have lots of EAD Designs product so this will not be the end of me using them!

Now for my project.....
I wanted to make a card to share using these colors and sketch for this week's

Resizing it just slightly smaller I was able to cut out 3 more triangles in the colors of a candy corn!

I cut them into strips and sewed all the pieces together.

Here is what the box looks like opened....very simple but plenty of room for some treats!
