Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Sponsored by The Twinery

I  love using somne baker's twine on projects!  It's light, two-tones and adds such a fun, playful look to projects.  When I found out that The Twinery was sponsoring us over at Tuesday Throwdown, I was over the moon!  They have such a fabulous color selection and their twine is so soft and easy to work with.  Our challenge this week was to make your own background, which isn't one of my strong points, but I tried none the less!

I used this sweet stamp, Adorable Cinderella, from The Paper Shelter and she helped a bit with making a background!

I love her!  Isn't this twine just gorgeous?  I used Marigold and Tangerine around my layers to give them some color and add some texture to my card.  My little beauty is sitting on her bench on the side of the road, waiting for her ride home since she seems to have misplaced a slipper!  She's colored with copics and had some Stickles added to her dress.  The bling around her tiara and pumpkin are from my Jelly Roll glitter pen and the papers are from DCWV Cafe Mediterranean paper pack.

There's just something about this adorable face I couldn't resist!

Here's a couple of side views of her that I think shows off the twine.  I plan on entering her in the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe Crafts - favorite color combination (blue and orange!)

2 Sisters Challenge - blue and/or green

Come on over to our Tuesday Throwdown Challenge blog and show us how you can make fabulous backgrounds!  And take a look at the fabulous projects my designing buddies have in store for you.  They are truly amazing!

I Won!

When I was little, my cousins and I used to get everyone's crinlons (remember those with all the lace on them and all that starch so they would really stand out?) and play Beauty Padgent in the back yard.  My Aunt Jessie had like 7 or 8 steps on her back porch and that was our stage.  We would stand up on our tippy toes in our pretend high heels and walk up and down the steps, doing the light bulb wave and carrying branches for our roses.  What imaginations we had!  I still love beauty padgents and I've got a little 4 1/2 granddaughter who loves to play dress up and parade around in front of us!

I have to admit that I'm cheating on Lindsay and Elisabeth and have fallen in love with the cute, sweet images over at The Paper Shelter!  I kept seeing them and I finally took the plunge and bought some and am having a blast with them!  When I saw this beauty, I knew she had my name written all over her!

This is "I Won" and isn't she fabulous?!  I think she's so much fun and has all sorts of possibilities.  I love here hair, dress, purse, swseet statute and I think she looks like a total winner!  She's colored with copics and cut out with my floral oval frame.  The papers are from Katy Davis, and the flowers and pearls are from Hero Arts.  I added some distressed inks around the frame and added some stickles to her dress, statue, purse, and earrings.

I just love her sweet face!

This view you can get a better look at the coloring without the glitter.  I love my glitter and bling though!

I just adore her and am going to enter her in the following challenges:
