Whisker Graphics- Wish

Hey there friends!
Happy April Fool's Day!
Today I am sharing my last project for Whisker Graphics. I created this layout of Austin using Divine Twine, Fancy Pants Good Fellows 6x6 paper pad and some chipboard stars from Creative Embellishments.

I made a quilted star from patterned paper and stitched it together using a zigzag stitch my sewing machine. Then I divided a strand of the Orange Divine Twine in two and hand stitched around the star:

I added a few layers of patterned paper behind my photo along with the chipboard stars colored with a black Sharpie. I added a flair button, some sticker phrases and a wood veneer from my stash:

I added some stars cut from white cardstock and traced around them with a black Sharpie. I finished off the layout with some star puffy stickers, an arrow that I added watercolor to and the wood "noted" piece:

I love hand stitching on my pages, it adds so much texture and I think the orange twine really makes this layout "pop"!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Farewell CIE!

Hey friends!
I am sad to say that this is the final challenge over at Cards In Envy. I have enjoyed being on this team the last 5 1/2 years! Wow, I can't believe it's been that long! I have met some wonderful people, especially Sandy. Thanks for having me!
This last challenge is to use the first sketch that was posted at CIE. I used Fancy Pants Wonderful Day and Divine Twine for this card:

I punched three circles on the top layer of my card and backed two with patterned paper. The other one, I popped up with some foam. I added a border across the middle. Backed the patterned paper with green cardstock and added some machine stitching. I fussy cut the balloon and added that to my border. Finally, I added a few chipboard buttons, with Divine Twine bows and that cute celebrate flag. 

Check out the sketch on the blog and play along with us!

Hey there!
I am  here today to share a Christmas layout with you. This layout was created for the mood board at Off The Rails I used PhotoPlay Mad Plaid, Lindy's mists and Divine Twine:

I added some mist to the background using the packaging technique. I added a frame and a few layers of patterned paper, stickers and a few fussy cut trees by my photo:

I fussy cut the "Believe In The Magic of Christmas" and popped it up with some craft foam. I added some Divine Twine to pull the layout all together and keep your eye moving:

Another fussy cut tree, a fussy cut ornament and a sticker topped off the right side of my layout:

Hope you are inspired by my layout and join us in the mood board challenge!

Twine Bottle

Hey there friends!
I am back to share a fun project using The Best Glue Ever.
Over the years, I saved a few bottles that Prima flowers used to come in. I decided to use some of my Divine Twine and wrap one of the bottles.

 I grabbed The Best Glue Ever and applied it to the bottle using a paint brush:

I started wrapping it with the twine only adding glue to about an inch at a time:

I decided to use two different twines:

I continued wrapping until I did the entire bottle. I added another piece of twine to tie a bow:

I plan on putting a few fake flowers in it and placing on the table in my screened in porch.

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!
