<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">We recently had some work done on our house and had some leftover pieces of board and paint which I just couldn't let go to waste! I cut a piece of the board to measure 5x7 and then painted it the robin's egg blue. Once that was dry, I added a layer of white paint on top, let dry, and then sanded it to rough up the edges and let the blue show through. I think I made the layers a bit too thick because I had to put in some major elbow grease to get that blue to show through!</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;">Once sanded, I distressed the board with a bit of dye ink. </span><span style="color: #333333;">I wrapped the edges of the board with </span><a data-mce-href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/solid-caribbean-twine-spool-240-yards" href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/solid-caribbean-twine-spool-240-yards">Solid Caribbean</a><span style="color: #333333;"> twine and added some </span><a data-mce-href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/solid-cappuccino-twine-spool-240-yards" href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/solid-cappuccino-twine-spool-240-yards">Solid Cappuccino</a><span style="color: #333333;"> as an accent to the front of the piece along with some fabric flowers. </span></div>

For this card, I stamped a WMS striped background stamp onto a sheet of vellum using silver ink and layered in on a kraft card base for a subtle look. I stamped and fussy cut two rendered and then layered them on top of the vellum and used some metallic brads for their noses. I finished the card with some twine and a stamped sentiment greeting.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello friends! Today is a fun blog hop with some of The Twinery designers as we show you how we store our twine! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOaC69MmUv-ZCQn3aEPTmPzNM078nkA2iW3U2oIzJuVlKv22ezdHxhcFh__ZrkAwd7Q6Q_RcC2oCUbnldoaFncHdyXtMYeB-D083VlCTX8MQ-8ZmgODrbbNQ4ZCi3HD1I3IYUhclHSkD6o/s1600/IMG_0132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOaC69MmUv-ZCQn3aEPTmPzNM078nkA2iW3U2oIzJuVlKv22ezdHxhcFh__ZrkAwd7Q6Q_RcC2oCUbnldoaFncHdyXtMYeB-D083VlCTX8MQ-8ZmgODrbbNQ4ZCi3HD1I3IYUhclHSkD6o/s400/IMG_0132.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I store my twine in this <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50305739/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Kallax</span></a> shelving unit from Ikea and I just adore it. The drawers also came from Ikea and they are huge - perfect for storing all types of things. You can see by the labels that this one has my printing supplies in one drawer (for my Selphy and my regular printer), my glitter and Stickles in another, some new paper collections in the third and my Twinery twine in the last one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGfbukbXV2DTNfLW0aNgnu24PZEAAR8Xc0lMgIv3jE33DXqiGfJQpLlGLqBKdyZU8EVkN7DuiTl91rngM3atWhoJwFpr4IlZn_6NY816k7LQLztrQtlOXZ-cdFXWyiJPRwFir__4ZyQmD/s1600/IMG_0129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGfbukbXV2DTNfLW0aNgnu24PZEAAR8Xc0lMgIv3jE33DXqiGfJQpLlGLqBKdyZU8EVkN7DuiTl91rngM3atWhoJwFpr4IlZn_6NY816k7LQLztrQtlOXZ-cdFXWyiJPRwFir__4ZyQmD/s400/IMG_0129.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">It really is so perfect to store, deep enough to dig around in and close to the ground because it is heavy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvNpFyV4MjX3SWQdAcRR_V2l5jn09fh11o6AMo-VJhjwiTxTQHJnSIpJyTGy5v0W28i24B65ZibCbI-zoHVN2DWLZiErIjEEOcOG6aMplOUWxP4JuKtXNJ-P30LzoCsSBsV_ELv2xD0dO/s1600/IMG_0130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvNpFyV4MjX3SWQdAcRR_V2l5jn09fh11o6AMo-VJhjwiTxTQHJnSIpJyTGy5v0W28i24B65ZibCbI-zoHVN2DWLZiErIjEEOcOG6aMplOUWxP4JuKtXNJ-P30LzoCsSBsV_ELv2xD0dO/s400/IMG_0130.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I have larger sizes of Kallax in the closet of my craft room and they hold so much stuff! I really can't say enough good things about these storage cubes and the little drawers I got for them. <br />
<br />
Like I always say, it's not really a hop unless there's a prize and we've got several to give away today! <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #141823;">Each designer participating in the hop today will be giving away a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/pr%E2%80%A6/striped-twine-rainbow-sampler">Striped Twine Sampler</a> (</span><span style="color: #141823;">$18 value). </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">To enter, hoppers need to comment on each post along the hop and, since each designer is giving away a Striped Twine Sampler, each post commented on is another chance to win! Comments will close at midnight (EST) on Tuesday, November 3rd and winners will be posted on The Twinery blog on Thursday, November 5th.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Also, just for the hop today, there is a special 25% off discount on any order! Fabulous! Simply use the code </span></span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">STASH25 through 11/6.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">In closing, I thought I'd share the reason you don't see me out in craft land regularly any more (though I really am trying to remedy that!) - baby Amelia! I don't think I've shared a photo in a long time and she sure isn't a baby any more! She turned 2 in September and started preschool. Here she is trying her Halloween costume on... I know I'm biased but I think she's darn cute! </span></span></div>

Hello friends and welcome to the Caribbean Twine blog hop with <a href="http://thetwinery.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Twinery</span></a>! If you've arrived here from <a href="http://happypapercrafthappenings.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Anita's blog</span></a>, you're in the right spot. If not, head over to The Twinery blog to get started!Today we're spotlighting the cool hue of Caribbean waters with both solid and striped twine! Aren't these colors gorgeous?! I remember my beach vacations when I think of waters in these colors! <br />
<br />
I decided to make a couple of gift tags for my projects. I just love tags, particularly "any occasion" tags as they jazz up so many types of gifts. For my first tag, I started off with a large format tag, approximately 6x3", layered some pool patterned paper, some sequin "waves" and some fun embellishments. I finished the tag off with a tassel of <a href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/solid-caribbean-twine-spool-240-yards"><span style="color: #cc0000;">solid Caribbean</span></a> twine.<br />

My second project is a smaller-scale tag, approximately 4.5x2" and features some chipboard kites floating along on twine tails. The tag is finished with a tassel of <a href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/product/caribbean-teal-white-bakers-twine"><span style="color: #cc0000;">striped Caribbean</span></a> twine.<br />

Hello, friends! I know it has been a long time since my last post and I am sorry for that! Other than saying life really changed after I had Amelia, I don't have a lot of reasons. Before I get chatting, I wanted to let you know that The Twinery DT is getting underway again for 2015 after a bit of a hiatus, and I'm up on the blog today. <a href="http://thetwinery.com/blog"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Check it out!</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for me, Amelia turned 20 months yesterday and I can hardly believe it! She's a happy, vibrant, toddler who loves to read, to "wah hah" (wash hands), and her little granola bars - "mo cookie peas mommy." It is definitely difficult to work full time, spend enough time with A, and have time for things I like/want to do during the week and that is why you haven't seen much of me crafting lately. It really has dropped to the "when I have time" and I really just haven't found much. In addition to all of that, I was promoted at work last fall and am managing a team which has required some long days. No excuses, just my new reality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I hope you have a great day and I really do hope I'll see you out here again in the coming days! Oh, before I go... here's a photo of Amelia in her Easter finery...</div>

Hello friends and welcome to the Valentines 5 for 5 blog event! What a wonderful week of Valentine goodness! Thank you all for visiting and a big thanks to Donna and Rachel for pulling this together! The final theme is collage and I have another card to share. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have a hard time identifying with any particular style for my crafting but collage is definitely one of my favorites. It has been a long time since I've worked with my collage supplies and can't wait to start getting my ephemera together! For this card, I layered a panel of brown cardstock on a pink card base and then layered a number of elements on top - some film strip "ribbon", a postage stamp, some stickers and a card stock arrow and a vellum heart with a fun sticker on top. This one will be good to give the hubby for Valentine's Day!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting throughout this week! I sure had a lot of fun with these projects!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to the Valentines 5 for 5 blog event! Thanks to Donna and Rachel, we're back together for five days of Valentine inspiration! Today's theme is arrows and I made a little tag to share. As I've mentioned this week, I'm in the middle of a craft room remodel and it is just chaos. It's a great challenge to see what is handy and what I can use to pull off some new projects! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPRRGjmNMOtGXY15sFnlnozw7BmOEtGF_8ixBfLfyiEWo3dj3xjrrtEs428mw-rIF4T4une_kHyj6nnS7iJyikUVIiUrHldFQAAiThInlUlbLDphNS_A1fOaQ273Li7pZOFzLgS1oT-O7j/s1600/CRW_6032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPRRGjmNMOtGXY15sFnlnozw7BmOEtGF_8ixBfLfyiEWo3dj3xjrrtEs428mw-rIF4T4une_kHyj6nnS7iJyikUVIiUrHldFQAAiThInlUlbLDphNS_A1fOaQ273Li7pZOFzLgS1oT-O7j/s1600/CRW_6032.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
To be honest, I was stumped by the arrows and very limited to supplies I could find. I've had this sentiment stamp sitting on my desk for a while and I just love it so it was the first thing I picked out. I decided to make a tag and had some pink paper that I used to make a background panel. Now was the tough part but I realized I had some of the Kiss Kiss collection from Crate that just came in the mail (papers aren't here yet but I can't wait to get them) and I was able to pull in some arrows and a few chipboard hearts. *phew* Have I mentioned I can't wait to get my office back in some semblance of order?<br />
<br />

Hello friends and welcome to the Valentines 5 for 5 blog event! Thanks to Donna and Rachel, we're back together for five days of Valentine inspiration! Today's theme is glitter and I have a fun little project I put together to share with you.<br />

Remember making these fun paper chains when you were a kid? Well, I was at the store this past week and found a little kit to make paper chains that were pre-printed Valentine images. (I can't wait to put those together to decorate the house this year!) I thought it was a perfect idea once I unearthed this gold glitter paper in my office! I cut the gold paper and some pink cardstock into 2"x8" strips, and glued them together to make this fun chain. Totally brought back old memories of glue and elementary school! <br />

Hello friends and welcome to the Valentines 5 for 5 blog event! Thanks to Donna and Rachel, we're back together for five days of Valentine inspiration! Today's theme is pink and orange and I decided to go with a card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have a new collection of papers that have been sitting for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to use them! I started off with a panel of patterned paper and added a greeting sticker, a Valentine banner, a couple of resin hearts, and some twine to finish it off. I've been remodeling my craft room over the past couple of weeks and am having a hard time finding anything! Luckily this paper collection was handy and came with all of the elements to make a card so I didn't have to find stamps to use! :)<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting today we'll see you back tomorrow for another theme day! Please be sure to check out the other 4 ladies making of this wonderful group!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to the Valentines 5 for 5 blog event! Thanks to Donna and Rachel, we're back together for five days of Valentine inspiration! Today's theme is hearts and I have a fun little project I put together to share with you.<br />

I found this cute little mailbox at Target in the $1 bin and thought it would be a perfect keeper for little love notes to my husband. There are so many things he does that I know I don't thank him for and this will be perfect! I covered the box with a strip of pink card stock and made a little pocket for the right side. I punched several hearts out of patterned papers that have white backs (perfect for the little note) and tucked them into the pocket.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished the box with some chipboard hearts and other decorations and then added a banner to a pipe cleaner which made a perfect little mailbox flag. I think he will love checking for this kind of mail! :)<br />

We made it, friends! Welcome to the 12th and final day of the final event brought to you by the Inspiration Crew! A huge thank you to Donna for leading this effort and keeping all of us on track over the past couple of years! :)<br />
<br />
This final card was made using some patterned kraft card stock I layered over a burgundy card base. I die cut and stamped the pinecones and sprig and finished the card with a greeting sticker and some wooden snowflakes<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed these 12 Days as much as I have!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day eleven of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event! We're in the home stretch now - have you been wrapping up your crafty holiday projects?<br />
<br />
This is a fun tag where I stamped a sentiment onto a piece of plaid paper and layered that atop a kraft tag (I'm realizing I used a lot of kraft this year!) I stamped two graduated poinsettias, pieced them, and layered them atop one another. I adhered the poinsettia onto the tag and gave it a few pearls for the center. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great day and I will see you back here tomorrow for our final day!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day ten of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event!<br />
<br />
I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a class taught by Anna Corba last week at a local craft store and we made 12 Days of Christmas tags! I don't have all of them finished yet but thought I'd give you a peek at a few now and share the rest later this month when I get them done. It was such a fun night crafting with some wonderful women and just getting inky on a "school night" away from the house was a real treat! A huge thanks to my hubby for agreeing to go solo on bath night! :)<br />
<br />
The bases are tags that were tea-dyed and the little pocket were made of tea-dyed teabags which we simply glued on three sides and attached to the tags. The stamps were a vintage set Anna had of the 12 days of Christmas and I wish I could have that set! We embellished the tags with greenery, pieced images, and vintage trims. It was such a fun project!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great day and I will see you back here tomorrow!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day nine of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event! <br />
<br />
You've seen my reindeer tag already and this is the card I ended up making when I stamped the extra reindeer I talked about the other day. I stamped a striped background stamp onto a sheet of vellum using silver ink and layered in on a kraft card base for a subtle look. I layered the pieced reindeer on top and gave them some metallic noses. I finished the card with some twine and a sentiment greeting. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great day and I will see you back here tomorrow!<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day eight of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event! I hope some of our posts have inspired you to get crafty this season - I know I sure am! Now if I only had more hours in the day...<br />
<br />
So, you've heard me yammer about taking advantage of scraps and extras and when I made the card with this paper that I showed you a couple of days ago, I couldn't very well just let the scraps sit in the paper pack for another year so I made this little tag with them. Layered a sentiment sticker on the bottom and a few gold sequins on top. Easy peasy!<br />
<br />
Here is a list of the other participants in this event - I can't wait to see what crafty goodness they have to share with us this week! :)<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day seven of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event!<br />
<br />
This is another relatively simple card that would be easy to mass produce for the holidays! In the "what came first?" question for this card, the answer was the bells. As I mentioned yesterday, sometimes I just stamp something I like over and over again in different colors if I know I will be able to use it. During the holidays, I know I will use those bells - on gift bags, cards, tags, and gift packaging! I pieced the bells, layered them together and then added the gold twine bow. Once that was done, I went through my stash of Christmas papers to see what would match. Risky maybe, but the bells were in shades of poppy/red so I knew it wouldn't be a problem! I found some paper and a coordinating sentiment sticker and, well, Bob's your uncle! <br />

Hello friends and welcome to day six of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event - halfway through and I just love what I've been seeing!<br />
<br />
Today's tag was born of "leftovers" - a wonderful thing to take advantage of when crafty time is compressed! I stamped a number of these reindeer for a card idea that didn't pan out exactly as I envisioned it (you'll see the card next week...) so I had some leftover and built this tag around one of these cuties. I layered some patterned paper and a sticker strip onto a kraft tag and then added the pieced reindeer. I gave him a metallic nose and finished the tag with some twine and a fun puff ball.<br />

Hello friends and welcome to day five of the Inspiration Crew's Holiday Inspiration blog event!<br />
<br />
For my project today, I decided to make a card that would be pretty easy to replicate for mass production and flat for mailing (well, it was flat until I decided it needed a Santa brad, lol!) I started off with a pink card base and layered some patterned papers. I layered a coordinating label sticker on top that I stamped with a Christmas sentiment. I had some coordinating banners and added one the the bottom of the card as well as that little Santa. <br />
<br />
Here is a list of the other participants in this event - I can't wait to see what crafty goodness they have to share with us this week! :)<br />
