The Twinery Design Team Blog Hop {Day 1}

Welcome to The Twinery's Design Team Blog Hop! If you've come from Hera Frei's blog, you are on the right track. If not, be sure to start at The Twinery Blog for all the details. The team is three-quarters of the way through our term and we are have so much fun showcasing the best twine on the planet! The team is hopping in three groups over three days so you will see an array of incredible projects in many different styles. The card I'm showing you today was made with crocheted foundation chains in a rainbow of The Twinery's colours.

Every time I look at this card, I want to touch it! Don't you? ;) It looks like a snuggly little blanket which, by the way, would make a sweet baby card in your choice of colours. And I have a feeling some of you will ask so, yes, this was a publication reject for the last Paper Crafts call which didn't really come at a good time with my move and all. It was the only card I was able to submit and it was obviously rejected and I'm okay with that. I love it loads and that's all that matters. :)

Prize Alert!!!

Every design team member is giving away the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack courtesy of The Twinery!!! You will definitely want to hop along with us for the next three days and leave a comment on every blog to increase your chances of winning one of the most generous giveaways of the year! Leave a comment on this post by Friday, September 23rd 11:59 p.m. EST and I will choose my winner via Random.org. Check back here on Saturday, September 24th to see if you won!
