Congratulations to the Perfect Couple and a Winner......{The Kraft Journal}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

This week's challenge is... 

Felt, Twine or Burlap

Since wedding season is upon us, I wanted to incorporated the theme for this week's challenge~Felt, Twine or Burlap to make a wedding card. I followed the sketch from Deconstructed Sketches

And came up with this card...

I started out with a Brown Kraft Cardstock base and added several layers of pattern paper using Theresa Collins~Summer Stories designer paper. Then using a Mini Burlap Tag, I cut the bottom to the shape I wanted and adhered the burlap to my mat using my hot glue gun. Since it is a  wedding card, I used an image from my favorite digital stamp company~Bugaboo stamps and only added minimal color to the image, just enough to add some color. To further embellish my card, I added some Metallic Twist Hemp Twine, a big glittery button and some small bling. Finally, I stamped my wedding sentiment using My Creative Time's~Many Greetings stamp set.  

So there you have it....my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

My project for today is an easy to do storage organization idea....

So does your pile of Hemp Twine look like this????

I SO love my Hemp Twine from

fellow DT sister Liz~

over at 

Liz's Paper Loft Boutique

but after using it on tons of my cards and projects

it began to look like this :(

a big pile of twisted mess...

Hard to untangle to get to the color I wanted...

So I pulled out some of my handy dandy

clothes pins that I had laying around from our years of camping

 And wallah......

All my twine is beautifully wrapped and

stored in this GREAT glass container.....

labeled with

E.A.D Designs

Chalk-It Tags

Not only is my twine easy to get to, 

My glass container looks awesome sitting on my shelf

all labeled!!!
