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~

You should be coming from.......................

TAWS

if not head on back there to get all their info on the Be Re-Inspired Challenge

Phew... that was lots of info so I am sure you are ready to see my card!

this is where my inspiration came from..

hehehehe..I used the colors blue, yellow and red and those adorable sunglasses and here is what came out of that

The papers I used for this card came from My Minds Eye~Moments paper pack (I think one of my favorites!) 

The adorable little monster and sentiment is from TAWS~Gotta Bug stamp set and the border stamp is from TAWS new March release~Pillow Talk.
See his CUTE shades??? I used another stamp set from TAWS new release~ Words to live By and took the border scallop stamped it on white cardstock and cut out only to make it look like some shades
I added some stickles to a few of the shapes in the border stamp and tied the whole card together with some gorgeous 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Sunflower.
So that it my take on the inspiration~ I sure hope you play along with this fun cross promo challenge!!

Now into your next stop .....................

if not you will want to head on back to

The Alley Way Stamps Blog,

You don't want to miss any of these fun projects!!

I LOVE how my card turned out for today...hope you all like it to

I used the new set Pillow Talk and while I was looking at the great borders an idea popped into my head using the circles...why not add some color and make it look like a rainbow because this month's freebie sentiment was perfect for that. And then my card was born...LOL!
I stamped the border image on white card stock then using my copics began coloring the one side rainbow and the other side shades of gray. I then cut out the border and attached it to base..but before doing that I printed the sentiment out and cut the base to size.
Once the card front was done I thought it still needed something so I ran 2 lines of stitching down the center of each side.
And there you have it! What do you think????
Everyone really should
