Trendy Twine - "Shore" Do Love You!

This month on the Trendy Twine blog we are showcasing the

Medium Candy Sacks and the Nautical Trendy Twine.

It has been so much fun seeing all the Trendy Gal's Nautical projects.

Here is mine:

 I filled my candy sack with some Swedish Fish. Such a yummy gummy candy treat!!!

For my topper, I cut a fun sea time paper that has been in my stash using a Spellbinder's Label 4 die. I stamped it with a sentiment from the Cardz TV Stamp's Summer Fun set. I wrapped it with the Nautical Trendy Twine and attached it to the bag. I then pieced my Puffer Fish from the Treasure Box Design's Sea Buddies collection. I just love his big blue eyes!!! I then attached him to the topper using foam squares. Super fun and easy to put together and they would make great treats for your kiddos.

Thank you for dropping in today. I hope you will stop by Annie's Paper Boutique store for all your Trendy Twine and other paper crafting needs.

Blessings,

Today I have this super fun Layout to share with you.

  

Summer fun is sunshine and sunsets, beaches, and bare footin' fun!!! If I could live near the beach I would be in bliss and one of these days I will figure out how to at least visit the beach on a regular basis. So naturally when I thought of Good Old Summertime, my mind couldn't help but dream of the sand and palm trees! I made this LO using the Tropical Sunset file from Treasure Box Designs.

For the background and the photo mats, I used papers from Echo Park's I Love Sunshine collection that was designed by Lori Whitlock. These photos do not do justice to the papers at all. For my paper piecings, I used various brands of quality cardstock.



I did a bit of embossing on the coconuts in the palm tress using the D'vine Swirls folder from Cuttlebug. When making the boys umbrella hut, I wanted to add dimension there so I gave the umbrella a curve effect by pulling it along the side of my gel pen.

All the pieces are attached using dimensionals in one or two layers so that the pieces all pop off the page. The only exception are the photo mats. For one last touch, I added a sentiment from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps set called Summer Fun.

More Blog Hop Candy to be won!!!

There are so many sweet files from the Treasure Box Designs store to use for making cards, scrapbook layouts, and treat/gift packages. So for my prize, you can win either one free set of the digital files from the store to use with your electronic die cutting machine or you can ask me to piece together one set of TBD files that I send to you finished for you to use on cards or a layout. Once a winner is drawn and I am contacted by the winner, I will ask you which of the two options you would prefer.

Remember to win either of my prizes, you need to be a follower of my blog and leave a comment!

Winners announced on each blog on Monday, July 13!

Flip Flopping Summer Fun - PDE Linky Party

There is a new challenge over at the

Pause, Dream, Enjoy (PDE) Linky Party!

The Theme: Summer Fun!!!

It starts today and you have one week to link up. We can't wait to see your projects.

Here is a gift set that I made to help get the Party started:

Have a Sun-sational Day! There is nothing I like more on a sunny day than to wear my flip flops!!!

The card is A2 size and uses an SVG file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. The background paper is from Doodlebug Designs and the pink border is made using a piece of cardstock from Papertrey Ink. The base itself is a piece of Recollections brand 110# cardstock from Michaels. The stamped sentiment is from Cardz TV's Summer Fun set. I finished it all off with a piece of Totally Pink Trendy Twine (one of my all time favorite twine colors!!).

For my treat sack, I used the small candy sack w/ flat bottom from Annie's Paper Boutique (Home of Trendy Twine). I added some bright, fun candies and then attached a matching tag to it with some ribbon and a tad bit more of the twine. The tag also uses the flip flop file from LSHD and the same patterned paper for the background. You will notice on both sets of flip flops, I used my Cuttlebug and embossed the paper using the Spots and Dots folder.

Like I said earlier, I am looking forward to seeing all your fun projects. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you all and always enjoy your comments. I invite you to visit my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Blessings,
