Guest Designer Amy McCabe

Hi Everyone - Today is my last post as guest designer for the month of May. I really enjoyed creating projects using Trendy Twine's wonderful twine. I love to create shadow boxes (lots of examples on my blog). It all started about 3 years ago when I made one for my coworker. It has spread from there and I've probably made close to a 100 shadow boxes for family and friends. They really do make a perfect gift for a shower.

Here is one I created using Trendy Twine!

Pick up a frame at Joanns or Michaels. (I get the white ones from Joanns) I start out by taking a peek at the baby registry online - that will give you a good idea of what the color scheme and theme is. Then start cutting your elements. 

Once you have everything cut add foam tape or pieces of foam core under the elements to give it dimension. Afterall it is a shadowbox so make some shadows. I added Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine to my project which was the perfect accent.

You can either hang this in the baby's room or purchase a holder at Joanns to display in the room.

I really enjoyed my time as the May guest designer here at Trendy Twine. Thanks to Lesley and her awesome DT for having me for the month of May! See you around. ~Amy

Hi There! Amy back again on the Trendy Twine Blog. I am your Guest Designer for the month of May. This month's challenge is posted on the blog {CLICK HERE}.

It's a fun one - use the color kraft and Trendy Twine. Here is my project ~ A Happy Birthday Piece of Cake. I added the twine on my candle and added a bit to the button to accent.

The file is from SVG Cuts ~ B is For Birthday SVG Kit. (I am on their design team).

Here's a look at the little box opened up - perfect for treats or even some crafty gifts, including Trendy Twine of course! PP is from Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock, chipboard is from Heidi Swapp.

I used May’s Special ~ Tickled with Teal. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back at the end of the month to share again. If you like my creations please stop on over to my blog and follow along. Have a great weekend!

Hi Everyone! My name is Amy McCabe and I am your Trendy Twine Guest Designer for the month of May (whooo hoooo!). I am so excited to be here with you today. A little bit about me....I design for SVG Cuts and love to scrapbook. I am a former Graphic Designer turned Project Manager. I still get to work with art but not hands on so crafting is my creative release.

I just love using Trendy Twine on my projects! Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day so I have a layout to share with you today.

I used the Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine to accent my layout.

I just used my Tombo Glue and added a thin line of glue to my card stock and guided the twine along.

I threaded the twine into my fishing pole and ended on my little fishing bobber. Papers are from We R Memory Keeper - Happy Campers. The cool fishing/ outdoor cuts are from SVG Cuts Forest County SVG Collection. I cut everything on my Cameo.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a Happy National Scrapbooking Day this weekend! I'll be back next week.
