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!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Sponsored by The Cutting Cafe

It's time for another Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!  This week we are being sponsored by The Cutting Cafe and the challenge is simple, Anything Goes!  Can't get much simplier than that! Make sure to stop over at the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge blog for all the details of the Challenge.   There were some fun images and I chose to go with the fabulous clock that you can find here:

I colored the clock with copics and added some stickles to the flowers and hands on the time dial.  The papers are from Kaiser from a couple of years ago.  The buttons and pearls are from Studio 112.  I cut the sentiment out and glued it to a banner type tag I cut. The lace is from my stash.

I like this side view a lot better because it shows the true colors of the paper.  I tried to make the clock look weathered and have a shabby chic look to it.  I tried to do a clean and simple layout but I don't think that's really my forte!

Here's a glimpse of the inside.

I'd love to see you join in with our challenge.  It doesn't get much easier than anything goes!  And stop over at our Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog and see the fun projects that my design team buddies have come up with to inspire you!
