Seeing red - it's confession time!

Okay, let me start with my first confession - I am seeing red right now!!  But it's not what you might think - there is not an ounce of anger brewing over here. The truth is, I have been up to my eyeballs in Berry Red twine, and I couldn't be happier.  After all, (and here comes confession #2) - I am addicted to ladybugs, and this particular twine had me thinking about all sorts of ways to get "insect crafty" for my latest project!  What better reason to smile!  

With the help of my trusty tweezers, some liquid adhesive, the beautiful Berry Red twine, I experimented with a few ideas. I am happy to announce that the final result are in:


Created simply by spiraling the twine around wing shapes that I hand cut, the twine really added a fun tecture to these emebellishment!  And the best part was that by using the twine cmbined with a liquid adhesive, I was actually able to mold the wings so that the bugs are acutally domes as well. 




So, if you are a fan of ladybugs, get your hands on some of this great twine (it's even on sale right now) and get crafty!  Use it for the monthly challenge or for any crafty project, and let us see your crafty creativity!

To see more details on this project (including a surprise or two with this layout), feel free to stop by my blog!  Thanks for stopping by today, and have a great week!
