anniversary party week 3

Is everyone enjoying the anniversary festivities so far? This is week three of the PageMaps month-long birthday bash and we've got a really fun give-away in store for you. A beautiful collection of trims, twines, jute and linen from Montana Misfits is up for grabs! Did I just hear a collective querie, "What is Montana Misfts?" hee hee Well, *that* announcement will have to wait until the anniversary party is over, but here's a sneak peek at some of their wild, whacky, wonderful stuff, and all of it could be yours!

For your chance to win, post here what your favourite type of trim/twine/ribbon is and how you like to use it on your projects. We'll draw a random winner next week from all of the posts.

Wouldn't you agree that Lynn Ghahary's videos, part 1 and 2, have been amazing so far?? Honestly, the way she puts together a how-to makes me want to scrap on the spot. Here's her third installment of the 4-part video series and in it, you'll learn how to make a flower embellishment from a couple of unusual PageMaps dies. Fun stuff everyone -- enjoy!


Good luck!

Becky

  3. I've been using a lot of baker's twine & lace for my projects lately ...How can you have just one fav? :)

  4. I think that my favorite is baker's twine. The different colors look so cute with whatever I make (I mostly make cards) because there are so many colors available, and the twine is so thin that it's not overwhelming.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I've been using baker's twine more and more recently. I find that not only can it be tied around a card or layout with a bow, but you can use it to make flowers, add to pre-made embellies, wrapped around chipboard letters, etc. The possibilities are endless!

  53. Great video! And what a great giveaway, very much in suspense about Montana Misfits! My go-to trim is probably grosgrain ribbon. It's boring, but it goes with pretty much everything, easy to adhere, comes in pretty much every color, so it's my everyday trim. After that probably twine, but I do love fancy and antique trims....just tend to hoard those a bit more.

  84. Becky, thanks for all the wonderful sketches you've shared with us. I love Page Maps!
    My favourite type of ribbon/lace/twine is jute. I use it to tie around elements on my page, or to hang tags, and I've even used it to make the post for a mini birdhouse on an ATC (http://kaleidoscope-scraps.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/birdhouses.html).
