Trendy Twine - A Happy Hello and a Sad Goodbye

A Happy Hello to all of you this Sunday morning!!!

Today I am posting for Trendy Twine. All month long the Trendy Gals have been sharing projects using the Nautical Trendy Twine and some of the ladies have been sharing a Shaker Card.

This is mine:

This is my first ever Shaker Card. I learned several things putting it together. One, I need to work on my sentiment placement. I put it a bit too high. I also had a problem with my confetti sticking to the tape at the top. I'm sure there is a fix for this - just have to figure it out. But all in all, I am pretty happy with how it turned out!!! The seahorse is just precious!!!

My card base measures 4.25x4.25". The patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs. My sentiment is from Verve Stamps Happy Hello collection. The seahorse was last week's freebie from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. To make the Porthole Shaker, I just used my DE software for the Cameo to make a circle and then used the internal offset to make the inner circle. I then hit Make Compound Path. Really simple!!! I used the Nautical Trendy Twine to decorate the porthole.

 Thank you for dropping in today to see my last post as a Design Team Member for Trendy Twine. Yes, it is a Sad Goodbye to all my Trendy Gal Sisters and Trendy Fans!!! Thank you, Lesley, for a wonderful time designing for you!!! It has been a fun 11 months.

I hope you will also stop by my Facebook and Pinterest pages. They are a great way to follow me and to keep up with all my creations. Remember, I do custom orders if you have need for a treasured card, layout, or other gift to commemorate all your precious memories.

Many Blessings and Hugs,

Stars and Stripes!

Sharing my Design Team post for Trendy Twine today.

This month has been all about Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine as we prepare for the 4th of July holiday. I have a tag to share with you today.

The tag is from the Silhouette store. It is one of the freebies they give you when you get your machine. I used Doodlebug Designs Patriotic Picnic collection for the background. The star is a file from Little Scraps of Heaven. I believe it was a past freebie. My favorite part is the Trendy Twine that I used to decorate the top of the tag. This is such an awesome mix of colors in this twine. I finished it off with a sentiment from Verve Stamps Happy Hello collection.

I really like the stripes and polka dot combination of this tag. And all the colors just seem to pop!!!

Thank you for dropping by today. I hope you will stop by my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well. And please visit the Trendy Twine store - Annie's Paper Boutique - to pick up your Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine. It is on sale all month long.

Blessings,

Sunny!

It's a new Monday and I am so happy to be living in it!

 

I know I mentioned it in my last post, but I just have to say it again - the flowers are blooming in my yard. The winter seemed so long and cold this year, so I am very thankful for the colors that are popping out and for the warmth touching my skin!

 

Today is the last day to pick up this week's freebie at Treasure Box Designs. A new freebie is available every Tuesday giving you a week to download it. With that being said, I wanted to make a couple of cards using the "Sunny" girl file from this week to show you what she looks like with a couple of different hair colors.

 

I made both a brunette and a blonde! Let me know in the comments which one you like best. My daughter liked them both, but thought the blonde hair would go better with the green shirt outfit and the brunette would look better with the pink shirt. She's never afraid to tell me what she thinks of my creations. LOL! Any way, let me know what you think:

 

 

Both cards are A2 size. The background papers are all from Doodlebug Design. Yes, this is one of my favorite paper companies!!!

 

The flag banner is from Spellbinders. I trimmed it down to the length I needed

 to fit the way I wanted it.

 And the stamp is from Verve stamps. It was a freebie stamp that came with one of my purchases. I love companies that throw in something extra every once in awhile just because!
It always makes my day.

 

 Well, I am so glad you stopped in today for a closer look at my "Sunny" cards. I hope you will stop by my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well.

 

Blessings,

Happy St. Patty's Day!

 

(or St. Paddy's Day as I read on one of my favorite grammar sites this morning.)

 

I don't know about you, but I know every time one of my children has a substitute teacher in class. It seems it is the first thing they tell me about their day. Why? Because it throws off their routines. And it seems that my children have way more substitutes than I ever thought about having. So when we heard that one of my sons was going to have a substitute for over a month, the wondering and dead set in. Would it be a different teacher every day or would the school find a long term substitute teacher. And what kind of a teacher would he or she be?

 

Well we lucked out!!! My son has a long term sub that I think he would just like to keep!

 

A good teacher is worth far more than a pot of gold!!!

 

I sent this card with my son today to give to his substitute teacher to let her know that we truly appreciate what she has done to keep my son engaged and on track over the last 3 weeks.

 

The cut file on the front is from Treasure Box Designs. It is called Lucky Me. You can find it in the holiday section of the store. The file would make a super cute scrapbook page as well!

 

The card is A2 size. The background paper is from Doodlebug Design's Happy Go Lucky collection. The stamp is from Verve Stamps Happy Hello set.

 

Thanks for dropping by today to take a look! I invite you to stop by

 my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well.

 

And then this Saturday (3/21) you will definitely want to come back for a visit. I'll be having a giveaway here and on my Facebook page. There will be two prizes. And I have a sneak peek of one of them for you right now. I'll be giving away a Watermelon Taffy Mini Trendy Twine set.

 

 

Blessings,

Happy Hello Penguin!

I grew up with three brothers and that was awesome. They were really good to me and always took care of me. But I have to say that when I came to know Christ something happened that changed my life forever. I gained a whole bunch of sisters. And as any of you with sisters know, there is nothing like having a sister! I made this card for one of my sisters. She is very dear to me and I enjoy the time we are able to spend together. I made this as a Thank You for her for the time we spent out together this last Friday night having dinner and quiet time from family and the burdens of life. This sister is a treasured jewel and I am so lucky to have her.

 

 

This little guy is from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. He was a freebie a few weeks back called Penguin on Ice. I think he is absolutely adorable and I was glad to see the smile on my sister's face when I gave him to her this morning during worship.

 

 

Thank you, Tricia, at LSHD for all the Monday freebies. They are truly appreciated and thank you for allowing me to enter him into yesterday's game to win another free file!!!

 

The card is a standard A2 size and the background paper which is quite lovely in person but a bit difficult to photograph is from Bo Bunny's Snowfall collection called Snowfall Drift. The stamp is from Verve Stamps Happy Hello collection.

Thank you for dropping in today. You can find the links to my Facebook and Pinterest pages on the top right if you'd like to follow me there as well.

Hello Friend Fall Maple Leaf Card

Today I want to share with you a variation on the card I posted yesterday.

 

 

 The background paper is from Doodlebug Design's Kraft in Color series called Lily White Woodgrain. /the purple maple leaf is from Doodlebug Design's Friendly Forest paper pad. The leaf was cut using a file from SVG Cuts Caramel Apple Pie kit and then I ran it through my Cuttlebug in the D'vine embossing folder. I attached it with pop dots for dimension. I added a button that was tied with a bow using Trendy Twine's Grape Fizz. And I finished it off my stamping a sentiment from Verve Stamps Happy Hello set. I really like how this card turned out!

  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you will drop by my Facebook and

Blessings,

Winter Blues

I thank God for another Sunday and another chance to worship Him!

(Blog Candy Winner for the Party Time post can be found here.)

 

I'm creating something for you again this week at

613 Avenue Create

 This week's theme is Anything Goes w/ the optional twist of
"Winter Blues."

 

This week the cut files for my cards come from My Scrap Chick. The file is called Gift Card Holders for Christmas (there is an option in the file for making a standard card). The tag is from the Fall Tree Gift Tag set and, of course, I only used one layer of the tag and sized it for my needs.

 

And this card does make a super cute greeting for Christmas!!!

 

But Snowmen are not just for Christmas. They are everything winter!!!

 

 

After whipping up several of these in an afternoon, I went through my stamp sets and found several sentiments that would work for all my winter occasions. Today I am sharing three of those options with you.

 

 

 



 You could make up a bunch of these yourself and wait to add the tags until you know what you need to use them for.

The stamps I used today are from Verve Stamps and Jaded Blossom. I hope you will look up both of these stores online and check out their wonderful assortments.

 

 The crochet thread/twine was found at a local store. I just wrapped it around the base of each card 5x and used it to attach the tag.

I hope you have enjoyed today's project.

(I have 5 of these cards for sale. They are $3.50 each plus shipping and handling. Please email me if you are interested. I will be glad to attach a tag that works for your occasion.)
