The Twinery & SRM Stickers

This month, we had the pleasure as SRM Sticker designers, to product partner with the Twinery.  If you want to be inspired, I encourage you to take a peek at all the amazingly creative ways our team has used twine this week.  Once you've done that, head on over to the Twinery's blog and be prepared to be blown away yet again.  Who knew you could create so many amazing things with twine? 

Before you go, here's a peek at what I created with my twine goodies.  These photos are from our trip to Florida on the March break.

"Sunny Smiles"

Have a wonderful Friday.  Thanks, as always, for visiting.

Live Simply

I had the pleasure of attending Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine's  Crop & Create event last weekend and I have to say, if you ever get a chance to go DO IT!!  Seriously.  It was simply fantastic from start to finish and I look forward to attending again next year.


At the crop, there were a number of challenges and one of them was called "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Cool".  This is the page I made for the challenge.


Supplies:  Paper, Die Cute (Jillibean Soup), Felt (KI Memories), Doily (Maya Roads), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Tab Punch (Jenni Bowlin)


I bought a second of the Jenni Bowlin punches while at the crop, the tab one that I used on this page.  That was my "something new" element.  I borrowed the date stamp from Cindy and the ribbons are OLD....like Junkitz old.  The photos are old too, from 2009.  The cool part for me is the felt lady bug and that wodden doily.

As is customary at the Crop & Create events, the photo booth was set up.  I love those pompoms and these girls.  We had such a great time!



I'll leave you with that for today.  Stop back again on Friday for a fun product partner with SRM Stickers and The Twinery.

Birthday Invitation Raft

Are you looking for something different to make for a party invitation?  For weeks now, I've been looking at these tubes from SRM stickers and the idea of a raft keep coming up so I decided to just go with it and this is what I came up with.
Supplies:  Paper (My Little Shoebox), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Twine (The Twinery), Skewers



I used two of the pennant border stickers to create a flag to decorate the mast with.  I stuck them back to back and cut around the flags to make them more life like.



To add a little more fun to the theme, I used the wand tube to create a little fishing pole that you could use as a party game to go fishing in a bucket of treats.


Be sure to take a look over on the SRM blog for more design details on this project and all kinds of SRM sticker inspriation posted every day.

Thanks so much for visiting!
