This month at Trendy Twine, the new challenge recipe is
(1) The color Kraft

Teacher Appreciation Week

noreply@blogger.com (Designs that Delight) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:00:00 +0000

Good morning everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you a fun project that I've made for one of my son's teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.

We are blessed to have three fantastic teachers this year and it only brings me joy to create something for them!

Today's post is about my first creation .. a small notepad with a fun matching pen.

I thought the notepad could easily fit in even a small purse, or sit on a desk to jot down some reminders or a to do list.

I used the following products to create this gift:

~ Trendy Twine ~ Lemon Tart

~ Patterned paper from DCWV ~ Grade School stack

~ Washi Tape

~ Misc. ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I hope that this has inspired you to make something fabulous to say "THANKS" to all your favorite teachers. They all work so hard .. for OUR children .. it's the least we can do.

PS .. If you LOVE twine as much as I do .. check out the Trendy Twine Store and pick some up! Lemon Tart is even on sale .. but it ends soon .. so grab it fast!

Beauty - A vertical border with a digi stamp

noreply@blogger.com (Designs that Delight) — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:45:00 +0000

Well .. I did it ... I FINALLY did it.... I mean I've only been THINKING about it for forever ...

It feels so good to have it done and I must admit I'm extremely pleased with it.

I've always wanted to get better at my shading .. and I've decided to branch out from the paper piecing into the world of digi stamps.

AND here is what I've created:

It's a vertical border. I combined paper piecing techniques to give the dimension that I love oh so much with the digi stamp. I think I pulled it off ... I think it's cute ... HECK, I LOVE IT .. he he

Now, I know my coloring is very amateurish. And I do need some improvement in the shading/light source areas. BUT .. for me .. doing is learning ... and no better way to 'DO' than to practice..

Here is the full border. It measures 12" high x 5" wide

A close up of the sun and clouds paper piecing

Feel free to leave your comments and criticisms .. I'd love to hear them and am open to ALL suggestions!

I contacted her and she graciously provided me with the file that she used to create this awesome gem of a project! Thanks so much Ilda!

The 'basket' is a box to store your Valentine's Day treats.

I've also incorporated a pull out tag to serve as a card.

Here is the box put together

You can see in this picture that the tag pulls out of the box to allow for a fun Valentine's Day greeting for a friend or a loved one.

Here is a close up of the box.

And a close up of the Balloon

Trendy Twine January Challenge - Show us your mittens!

noreply@blogger.com (Designs that Delight) — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:00:00 +0000

Happy January!

This month Trendy Twine is featuring a new color ... Watermelon Taffy.

Watermelon Taffy is a new pink twisted with lime green that was introduced

in the Halloween line. This month Trendy Twine also has a Watermelon Taffy Mini Pack

available that has coordinating colors.

The Trendy Twine challenge for this month is:
Show Us Your Mittens

Your project (of any form) must include:
Mittens
Buttons
Snowflake
Color pink
Trendy Twine

I hope that you will consider joining us for this month's challenge! NO EXCUSES .. there is plenty of time to link your projects up. Just head HERE when you are done to post/link your projects.

Now, here is the project that I've created for the challenge.
Now .. I have to admit that pink is NOT my thing. Probably because I have two boys and I simply can not ever see them lovin' the color pink :) That being said .. I really fell in love with the Watermelon Taffy twine. It's so bright and cheerful... makes you smile!

I've created a one page layout that will hold one picture in the circle mat in the center of the page.

This was one of those ideas that evolved over time for me. My initial thought when I read the requirements for the challenge was along the lines of "The three little kittens that lost their mittens". This theme started out as a tag... then turned into an ornament .. which then ended up on a one page layout ... go figure. I really do like the brightness to this and hope that you do too!

Here is the full layout

A close up of the kitten

A close up of the circle photo mat

The left mitten and photo mat.

Close up of the mittens wrapped in twine

Close up of the button/ribbon/twine wrap

More mittens

A dimensional view

The items that I used to create this project are as follows:

1. Trendy Twine in Watermelon Taffy

2. Paper piecing patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs (Playful cat, Snowflakes from Twas the Night Before Christmas, Mittens in the advent set, Small scallop border)

3. Clearsnap Colorbox chalk ink

4. DCWV paper stack - Baby Girl stack

5. American Crafts solid cardstock

6. Glitter

7. Misc ribbon from my stash

8. Buttons

I hope everyone is gearing up for a fun New Year's Eve!

My family is more of a stay-in kinda family rather than hitting the town. We plan on ordering take out and then making some yummy homemade carmel popcorn in the evening. We may even get crazy and go and see a movie in the early afternoon .... TALK about CRAZY! :)

Be sure to stop by the Little Scraps of Heaven Design team blog to see all the fabulous project my fellow teammates have shared for you on this fabulous Monday. We'd love to see any wonderful creations that you have made this week to kick off the New Year. Be sure to share them on the Little Scraps of Heaven Facebook Fanpage. Also, be on the lookout because next week the LSHD DT is kicking off our challenges again. There will be layout sketch challenges, card sketchs and much more. Remember that you can't win if you don't enter! I hope to see all of your creations soon!

To close out 2012 I've created this fun little New Year's Celebration card.

I've used the following items to create this card:

1. Paper piecing patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs - New Years Bears

2. Twine from Trendy Twine - Orangesicle

3. Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk inks

4. Clear Cardstock from Paper Trey Ink

5. Solid Shimmer Cardstock from DCWV
