Well, this blog hop snuck up on me very quickly and quietly! Funny how some months are like that... A small but talented group of friends are hosting a blog hop today to showcase one of our fabulous newish products -Baker's Twine. The blog before mine on the hop was Kathryn Ruddick's, but you can stop and start wherever you'd like. What a lovely way to spend a wintry, rainy Saturday morning.
If you haven't had a chance to play with our Baker's Twine you seriously need to get some. It is so cheap and there are dozens of ways you can use it on your projects. I have made 2 mini albums using twine as a feature on both.
The first album is made using the Flirtatious DSP. It's unfinished for now, and is for my daughter. We've been having lots of "mummy/daughter" dates lately and this records some of them. We playing on my iPhone and taking 'selfies' while we're out. I have mostly used the Baker's Twine in a single strand in this album as I wanted a light, soft look to compliment the pretty papers.
A great way to use up some smaller pieces of Baker's Twine is to tie knots or bows around other ribbons, like I have in the photos above and below.
The second album features the Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine. I mostly used it in three strands throughout this album as I felt it suited the darker, more distressed look of this album.
This album is also unfinished, as I haven't even decided what to do with it! I think it may end up being an album of my husband and I.
There was a lot going on on this page, so I used the Baker's Twine in a single strand. I used a couple of scraps of the Twine to tie on the tags.
Here I've just used a triple strand as a bow feature on the side of the die cut window. I've only adhered the top of the panel to the page so I can slip a photo in underneath when I decide which photo to use.
I thought I"d shake it up a bit with the page below and do a triple strand with a single bow. Not sure if I like it as much as the triple bow but it may grow on me! Again, only the top is adhered so I can slip a photo in later.
Well, that's it for me, now you're off to see the wonderful creations of Ros Davidson.
Bye for now,
Tina

I love this little album idea - what a simple but effective idea. The album for your daughter is brilliant - she'll enjoy that forever with the selfless lol and the album you and your hubby is very sophisitcated - one of my fav. colour combos xx
