Wow! What a week here at The Open Window and we've made
it to Friday. Hope your week was terrific!
Today is Day #2 of a Product Showcase featuring several of the
talented designers of
and the creative designers of
Our team had a blast each working with a collection from the
Spring 2012 line and incorporating different ways to combine
our baker's twine with these fun paper sets.
I LoVe the colors from the 'Messages' collection and immediately knew
that I would be combining the same two baker's twine colors as I used
in the project I featured on my blog yesterday, even though the projects
were done nearly 3 weeks apart.
I've always liked the combo of black & brown, so I took
The Twinery's Cappuccino & Charcoal twine
and created a banner hanger as well
as an embellishment for my frame cut from
Spellbinders' Lacey Circles die.
Each paper element on this card was created from the Nikki Sivils
collection. I love when collections feature at least one sheet of
cardstock-weight die cuts and this one has a variety to choose from.
Both companies are giving away prizes . . . .
and it's oh so easy to have a chance to win.
To have a chance at one of 4 prize packages (2 from each company)
all you have to do is visit the participating blogs from each day,
leave a comment and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you !
Deadline to visit & comment is Sunday, April 1st.
Winners will be announced at The Twinery & Nikki Sivils on Tuesday, April 3rd.

Oh I love this! The papers and the twine, soooo cool!
The combo of the two twines is great! I guess that's why YOU are a designer and I'm not. Good job.
