All Tied Up!!

If you've been waiting for the new Fabulous Friday challenge at Frosted Designs, then today is the day!!  Our challenge this week is for you to use Ribbon/Twine on your layouts or projects!!  There are so many fun options for this challenge!  Now I have to admit, that I don't use a lot of ribbon on my pages (very rarely).  I find it to be a little bulky sometimes, but on the other hand, I am a baker's twine fanatic!!  :)  I love to use twine and you can usually find it on about 90% of my layouts.  Here is what I created for this week's challenge:

I really had a lot of fun creating this page!  I started out with a $1 kit from Cosmo Cricket's Togetherness line, that I picked up at my LSS.  These papers were perfect for an outdoors-y layout.  I used my Expression to cut a large butterfly from the bottom right corner of my page and I covered the positive image of the butterfly with strips that I cut a scallop border on, using some paper Edgers.  I thought it would be fun to tie the yellow twine across the page and meet it in the center of the bottom butterfly.  I also used a little more twine for the center of the second butterfly.  My Singer hand-held sewer has been on semi-good behavior lately, so I used it to sew a little border around the scalloped frame on my page and then I finished it off by adding some specks of brown acrylic paint.

I hope you will plan on coming over and playing along with us this week for the chance to win a great prize from our sponsor this week, Memorable Seasons!!
