Let's get Toasted....Silly!

Debbie from Craftin Chaos here we are showcasing several colors this month from our inspiration photo. I cut out some simple marshmellows, created a sentiment and tie some bows on my marshmellows as well as on the twigs. I thought the sentiment was fitting!

The colors I used are aqua, cherry red, pumpkin orange, olive green and chocolate chip. Its a simple bag topper but super cute with adding the peachykeen stamped faces on the front. These are from the Cornies stamp set probably my favorite set...just love those silly teeth!

June Color Challenge - Red, White, & Aqua

 

Can you believe we are in June already?  

Where does the time seem to go these days?

Seems like my kiddos just started school and now summer vacation is just

around the corner (5 days to be exact, but whose counting?).

I am happy that there will be no alarms going off

in the early morning hours for my high schooler  to get to school by 7am and no more "projects" for my kindergartener (actually me) to do.  I look forward to taking them to the zoo, beach, pool and just spending time with them. Oh wait....they both have "summer homework and volunteering requirements".  Really?  Don't the kids do enough during the school year.  Let the kids be kids for the few months of summer.  We will make the most of it and get it all out of the way in the beginning of June so we can enjoy the rest of the summer.   I am NOT looking forward to the bickering between siblings (that includes my 21 month old) and the "I'm bored" being said a gazillion times.  No matter how much I keep them busy it seems it's never enough!  Before you know it, I will have the countdown to the First Day of School on my mind, LOL!  

We are thrilled to have another challenge month.  

This months is a super FUN Color Challenge.

The oh so talented team has created some amazing projects to inspire throughout the month.  Check back daily to get inspired by what you can make with these fun colors.

Hope you all are enjoying your week so far with all the awesomeness of Lawn Fawn and Timeless Twine. I really had fun playing with the products from both the companies, they compliment each other so well. I created 2 cards!

Card 1

Love this Hello Sunshine paper pad, it's so fresh and bright. Gorgeous colors and patterns. I then stamped and die cut my hello. I then adhered some Timeless Twine, which really compliments the colors of the papers.

Card 2

Once I started, it was so much fun playing with this pattern paper. I usually don't use much of it but I think you can tell how much I love it. I used lots of various patterns and stamps. Can you see our new Simply White Twine. That tiny bow looks just perfect there :)

Timeless Twine & Lawn Fawn Day #2

DAY #2

First Up is Twine-ista Kristy

It's Twine-ista Kristy here!! Are you all as excited as I am to see the Timeless Twine and Lawn Fawn combinations? Haven't the projects been amazing thus far?!?!!! If you haven't checked out day 1 yet, be sure to! Well, let's take a peek at my cards I have to share with you all today!  

For this card I took the insta camera from the new Lawn Fawn #awesome set and created a background paper on plain white cardstock. I stitched around the border of the pink patterned paper with Timeless Twine Simply white, and then I stamped out the "I'll follow you anytime" and cut the word into single strips, added some patterned paper and adhered them to the card. All the patterned paper is from the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine stack. Caaaaute!!! 

For this card I used some Aqua Timeless Bakers Twine, the #awesome Lawn Fawn stamp set, and the Hello Sunshine paper stack by Lawn Fawn. I used the frame from the #awesome set and added a piece of the patterned cardstock behind the frame. I fussy cut the frame out (outside and the middle) and stamped the awesome on some white cardstock, which I then adhered on top of a die cut banner. I punched a half circle and hand wrote the words "you are", wrapped my twine around and tada... simple, fast and #awesome. 

Thanks so much for checking out the Timeless Twine and Lawn Fawn cross promo today! I hope you all have a twine-tastic day!!

How fun is that?!?! Lawn Fawn and Timeless Twine are bringing you inspiration all week long!

You'll never run out of ideas after this week!

I created a few cards just for the occasion, take a look:

For this card, I layered a heart with the adorable Lawn Fawn Let's Polka Petite Paper Pack, I then stitched across each row with Timeless Twine (Raspberry Pink, Lemonade Yellow, Olive Green, Aqua Blue & Graphite Gray). I also used the sweet #awesome stamps! I outlined everything as you see in the card with a super fine point pen. I then used some mists to leave drops on the card as shown. ❤

This next card carries on with the heart theme, I'm a bit of a heart junkie:

You'll see more of the Let's Polka Petite Paper Pack and yes, more of the #awesome stamp set, these papers and stamps are so versatile! Lemonade Yellow makes a cameo in this card, along with Tuxedo Black. There's no special trick to this card. And it's a great way to use your paper used form previous projects. I layered the grays, added some vellum and the heart. I stamped the frame onto some cardstock, then again duplicated the inside of the frame and sentiment onto some vellum. (Let it dry a few minutes before cutting out and adhering.) I then added the hearts onto the vellum. There's no special trick to the twine either...there's no wrong or right way to "randomly place your twine". Throw some sequins on there and voila!

Have an awesome Tuesday and make sure you are checking out the Timeless Twine blog all week long! Our Twine-ista's have created some super awesome stuff!

*{Finding Joy}*

"It's that time of year...where the world falls in love,

Every song you hear seems to say,

Merry Christmas

May your New Year dreams come true...."

Mr. Sinatra this may be true for some of us...but others are trying to run in the other direction. I am one of those gooey eyed dreamers who is already seeing snowflake bokeh everywhere. I like to think that it's contagious and I can bring you to the dark side...but I know this simply isn't true. 

However, don't focus on all of those lists, obligations, "to-do's", etc. Don't let them creep in and bring you down, instead look for the kind smiles, listen for the giggles of the little ones, the magic around every corner...if you're looking of course. Your time and smiles are more of a gift than anything else. People get so caught up in making this "the perfect time"...but you have to remember that perfection comes in times of imperfection..and sometimes mistakes, like the ruined cookie batter that becomes rolled cookie balls that you keep in the refrigerator...make perfection out of the imperfection and enjoy this year! That's my challenge to you this holiday season. ❤

I used Strawberry Cupcake for this card. It was the perfect punch of color! 

Remember CHOOSE JOY and have a great Tuesday! 

*{October...is the best month of the year}*

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

October is my favorite month. My Grandpa was born in October, my mom was born in October, my Angel-girl was born in October, the leaves start changing, Jack The Pumpkin King is lurking...and The Great Pumpkin rises up out of the pumpkin patch...

My momma's birthday is this week..and I already let her know not to look, because her card is a spoiler today for that I am sharing with you! 

I created this card just for her. It will be making it's way to Michigan. ❤

I used Krazy for Kraft for this project.

Have a fabulous Tuesday! Thank you for stopping by!! Check back tomorrow for even more inspiration from our Twine-ista's!
