Weekly Challenge

Hello to all my favorite crafters! Kimberly here to bring you this Sunday’s challenge.
Using bakers twine is one of my favorite embellishments, and I know many of you all share the same love for it. So, my challenge to you, since we all got some lovely Lime Twist twine in our kits this month, is to use your twine in a unique way.

Here is a layout I did, where I took a gluber and simply started in the center and wound it around until I completely covered the gluber. Then I used my paper piercer to punch a hole in the center to add a brad for additional embellishing fun. You can also use it to stitch and gather, like I did with the ruffle border here also.
Supplies: August kit Main; add on 3-Tide Pool, and add on 4-Sandcastle; glubers multi-pack; Mister Huey-Piglet

The possibilities are endless. Let me see what you can do with your Bakers Twine! Be sure to link your image here to your gallery by Monday, August 15 for your chance to win a $5 gift card with SC. Have fun! I can’t wait to see all the fun layouts with the Baker's Twine now!

Thank you girls. I love my glubers and finding new fun ways to use them! I especially love how many come in a pack, so they can last me a long time! :)

I combined both challenges this week (used the Sunday Sketch & twine). For this challenge, I used twine as a border for the layout:

Love this challenge! I ended up using the twine as a border embellishment of sorts. Not how I planned it at first but that's how it goes, right? :)
