Twine Techniques: Threads Challenge SAF2015

The second part of the Threads Challenge was to create a card using twine.  There were 10 techniques we could choose from and I chose: Wrap twine around an embellishment before attaching it to a card.  I never do this so I thought this would get me out of my box!

Here's my card:

SAF Card Set

Truth be told, I had picked Jess's challenge before she came over to our "camp site" on Sat... but of course after meeting her I *had* to pick her challenge after! :)

Seriously though, her pictures did not let on how detailed and awesome this little card set was going to be in the end.

I changed the color scheme: Berry Sorbet, Pink (SU), and Dark Chocolate... but did just about everything else.  I am a terrible sewer (and ended up not having large enough glassine bags so resorted to the clear glossy bags I did have) so the xyron'd butterfly idea saved me from terrible looking stitches on the inside and outside where I attached the ribbon!

Enjoy!

MIM: Bordered Sentiments

I'm playing along with PTI's MIM: Bordered Sentiments this week only because I had an idea that came off exactly like it looked in my head (!).  Love it when that happens.  From idea to creation completion was 30 minutes.  I used the Color Crush combo I pinned from back in April.  Find it here.

Love that sentiment from an older SU set (that I *had* to have and never use anymore... but that is a favorite sentiment of mine).  The caterpillar changing into a butterfly is just what life is all about... life has to change.

Enjoy!

Butterfly sympathy

I am so in love with Beautiful Butterflies and Winter Wisteria!  I am not usually a butterfly gal.  I have an SU set that I *had* to have ... and then I have rarely used.  I have a few random butterfly stamps, but hardly ever ink them.

This set is amazing.  I have seen a lot of inspiration all over the internet and pinterest.  I knew exactly what I was going to do with it when I got it in my hands.  I even knew the color scheme.  I was just sad that it was for a sympathy occasion, but glad that it was going to my best friend's mom.  I do hope that it brings her a bit of peace in her grief.

Enjoy!
