Hello! It is no secret that I haven't been blogging lately. OK, I have been taking a break...but... I am back today with an awesome blog hop! <a href="http://chictags.com/collections/">Chic Tags</a> + <a href="http://shop.thetwinery.com/">the Twinery</a>! It doesn't get much better than that! So sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy our hop! We will be going strong today AND tomorrow with lots of projects so be sure to check back both days for more inspiration. <br />
<br />
You probably got here from the <a href="http://chictags.com/collections/">Chic Tags site</a>.... If not, be sure to check out the <a href="http://blog.chictags.com/">blog</a> here. <br />
<br />
Here is the layout that I have contributed to the hop. I couldn't decide on just one way to use this twine... so instead I used it in three ways!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This little 3x4 card was jazzed up by just wrapping some twine around it and then tying a bow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a paper piercer and a ruler to prepunch hole along the acetate letters and then used twine to hand stitch through them. Since the twine is thicker than embroidery floss I just went through each hole only once. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally, I made a banner with little tags hanging from the twine.</div>

Whenever I use a patterned paper for a background, but I am covering most of it up anyway, I will make a frame and just have the edges of the patterned paper show. I am a use-every-bit-of-the-paper kind of girl...especially if it is one of my favorites! So this is what the back of my layout looks like:<br />

Milne called<a href="http://allpoetry.com/poem/8518993-Halfway-Down-by-A.A.-Milne"> Halfway Down</a>. I used to love it and it has stuck in my head forever. The other day my 8 year old was doing his reading homework in the most unusual places and the words to <a href="http://allpoetry.com/poem/8518993-Halfway-Down-by-A.A.-Milne">this poem</a> came rushing back. I used some of the words as my title for this<a href="http://blog.chictags.com/"> Chic Tags</a> layout. Check out <a href="http://blog.chictags.com/">the blog</a> today for a little tip to do with your Chic Tags mini icons.<br />

Last week was button week on the <a href="http://blog.epiphanycrafts.com/spring-is-in-the-air/">Epiphany Crafts blog</a>. I made a layout with some handmade flowers and then embellished them with some custom buttons. The hand stitched stems of my flowers adds to their homemade look. I don't know about you…but spring is definitely being welcomed in this neck of the woods! What a winter it has been!!</div>

Since St. Patrick's day is just around the corner I decided to make a quick little tag with some buttons. I used some green patterned papers behind my Epiphany Crafts buttons and then arranged them into the shape of a shamrock. </div>

I loved all the little squares, but changed it up a bit. I used the little paint chips from Maggie's Style Board Ephemera pack as my squares. Check out the <a href="http://papercamellia.com/blogs/papercamelliablog/12601325-march-sketch-challenge">Paper Camellia blog</a> for more details...</div>

Hi! All week long on the <a href="http://blog.chictags.com/">Chic Tags blog</a> and the <a href="http://blog.clearsnap.com/">Clear Snap blog</a> we have been cross promoting products! These inks are so awesome to work with… I have been reminded to pull out my stamps more often. I love the look of stamping on a layout, but sometimes I forget about them! Here are two 8.5x11 layouts that I made:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZACXrrN92gY/Uwyvo9-K8wI/AAAAAAAAFIA/nR-9AR31Zhg/s1600/P2237679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZACXrrN92gY/Uwyvo9-K8wI/AAAAAAAAFIA/nR-9AR31Zhg/s1600/P2237679.JPG" height="640" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This first layout, I used some water colors and a paint brush to make some round circles of color. I didn't worry about size really. Once the water colors had dried, I took my black Clear Snap ink and stamped the US stamp over top of the color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gNBzqvW-wrc/UwyvopVPP_I/AAAAAAAAFH8/daBoo-wRwww/s1600/P2237680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gNBzqvW-wrc/UwyvopVPP_I/AAAAAAAAFH8/daBoo-wRwww/s1600/P2237680.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-77-a9TMDAuI/Uwyvop64QOI/AAAAAAAAFIE/lup_mlvWcho/s1600/P2237681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-77-a9TMDAuI/Uwyvop64QOI/AAAAAAAAFIE/lup_mlvWcho/s1600/P2237681.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This second layout uses a bunch of different stamps. The Mix'd Media ink takes a little longer to dry so I put some clear embossing powder on top of the Morning Sunshine stamp and heated it.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Hello... today I have my Everyday Life Documented spread on the <a href="http://comeongetcrafty.typepad.com/blog/2014/02/everyday-life-documented-a-new-size.html">Come On Get Crafty blog</a>. I have decided to change things up a little bit to make this a no stress kind of project for me. I am going to document highlights from the month rather than each week. And I have even decided to change up the size. These pages are altered Project Life Style A page protectors. They now measure about 10 x12. I have just sliced off the last column of pockets and then run the page through my sewing machine. </span></div>

I am hoping this helps make this a stress-free project to keep up with for the year for me. Are you playing along this year with some type of everyday documenting?<br />

On one of our many days off this January, we took a trip for some frozen yogurt! What could be better than to eat some frozen yogurt in the frozen temperatures?! My picture had so many colors in it, so I turned it to black and white so I could focus on the pink, red and white on my layout. Check out the <a href="http://prettylittlestudio.com/plsblog/?p=1231">Pretty Little Studio blog</a> to read more.</div>

Hi there. I have a layout today that I made using the February <a href="http://papercamellia.com/collections/kits/products/february-2014-main-scrapbook-kit">Paper Camellia kit</a>. Oh, how I loved the goodies in this one! Check out the <a href="http://papercamellia.com/blogs/papercamelliablog/12050693-hi-rosy">Paper Camellia blog</a> for more details on this layout. I broke out the modeling paste to give my background some texture.</div>

I am back from CHA and I think I am finally going to be in one spot for longer than 5 days! I feel like I have been on the go since before Christmas. Today I have a couple of layouts to share with you as I get caught up from not being around the blog lately...</div>

Hello! Hope you have had a good holiday so far! Today we are continuing with another Top 10 blog hop from 2013. We all picked our top 10 projects from the year and put them in a post for some quick and easy inspiration to start off the new year! The only problem was once I started picking, I couldn't limit it down to just 10. I think I may have 15 on here, but who's counting?! So take your time, and enjoy our favorites from 2013! Leave a comment on each blog to be entered in a give away! I will leave mine open until December 31st at midnight EST. </div>
