Winter Wonderland Blog Hop with Eileen Hull and DCWV


Hey there! Thanks for joining us :) 
I hope this blog hop has inspired you to get crafty! 

These are the supplies I used for the projects: Eileen Hull's Twist and Style tool along with the Cranberry Christmas and Gift Tag stacks from DCWV: 



I made these boxes from the Gift Tag stack. The boxes AND the embellishments are already die cut in there! just punch it out and assemble! 



 I used the twist and style tool to twist my thin strands of twine into a thicker, more decorative accent for these presents. I also added blue moon beads charms to some of the boxes. 
          

The acetate doily IS IN the stack!!! How awesome is that?!


I twisted gray/white and red twine here. These little boxes are so versatile, they don't have to be used just for the hoildays. 


I love this one! The thin red and green twines just scream Christmas when twisted together! And how cute is that little penguin?! The stars and snowflake on these boxes are in the stack too! 


This is the classic 'candy cane' colors twisted together into thicker/cuter twine with a little snowman friend :) 

I also made a layout about last year's Christmas tree! 


I love adding different textures on my layouts and this was really fun! 
I twisted multicolored, metallic embroidery floss with thin red twine and it looks so freaking cool!


I really like to hide my journaling and a circle of twine makes a great little 'pull tab' for my hidden journaling cards.  


The twist and style tool was really easy to use and I can't wait to try other things, like making bracelets!   


I hope you enjoyed the hop and good luck... I hear there are prizes to be won!

      Just saw it on Beth's blog.
      Neat tool. Love that it
      can be used by one person
      since I'm along and don't
      have somebody handy to hold
      the tool.
      thanks.

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    To make the background I used a DCW

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for journaling a
