You are not going to want to miss a thing! 

For my project today, I get to showcase the new set~

Friendships Are Forever

and here is what I made....

 I used a Shadowbox frame from 7~Gypsies and altered it to give to my bestie! I used designer paper from Fancy Pants~Wonderful Day and several MCT stamps and dies.

I wanted 2 spots for pictures so I used the XL Label Die and the matching Stitched XL Label die for my picture mats. I stamped the sentiment using the new Friendships are Forever set, once part of the sentiment onto each picture mat. For the centerpiece, I die cut the heart and added the "bestie" die popped up into the middle. Some random sparkly enamel dots completed this section.

For the top panels of my shadowbox, I used matching designer paper and filled in each square. Then using the Stitched Squares die I added 1 to each of the outside boxes. These could either hold more pictures so a fun quote can be added to these. Finally for the center square I added a Stitched Pretty Flower~again coordinating the pattern papers to match then whole project.

Trendy Twine GD~ Memo Board + GIVEAWAY!!

Morning Bloggers!!

I am so super excited to share my project with you today!!

I was asked by Lesley of

Trendy Twine 

to be a Guest Designer today and of course I JUMPED at the opportunity!!!

This month Trendy Twine is showcasing the beautiful

Berry Trendy Twine

So for my project I wanted to make something that I can display in my home 

as well as fit into this months Challenge at Trendy Twine~ 

which is to create a 

project using red, white and blue 

and

 Trendy Twine :)

So instead of making a patriotic project

I made a cute summer 

Memo Board~

a place I can show off our summer adventures, photo's and mementos.

My inspiration for this???

The two colors of twine together made me think of a 

~postcard

 or 

~postage stamp

or

traveling 

and since we just got home from celebrating the 4th down at our family cottage I thought this would be perfect!!

I started off with a picture frame that I picked up at the dollar store

removed the backing and hot glued Berry and Blue Berry Twine  in no specific pattern across the back.

Once all the glue had set, I replaced the glass backing back on

(this is not necessary but I wanted to give my frame more stability because I will be displaying it on a stand)

Here is a close~up of the tags 

I have been looking at this washi tape sitting in my drawer for weeks now and

when I pulled them out again and placed them up against the twine....well it was a match made in heaven!

So what do you think??

I have yet to print out pictures but as soon as I do I will add them to my board.

The best thing about this project,

besides being so super easy to make

It can be made to fit any time of the year, embellished any way and would make a GREAT holiday gift!!

Now the super sweet Lesley

has very kindly allowed me to offer one lucky friend

this beautiful bundle of

Berry Trendy Twine 

In order to win this~

you need to pop over to the Trendy Twine FB page~ HERE

and tell Lesley that you are coming from my blog

That's it :)

She will then pick a winner from everyone who stops by!!

I hope you have enjoyed my project and maybe been inspired to create one yourself!

I want to again thank Lesley and Trendy Twine for having me as a Guest Designer!!
