The Twinery & Bella Blvd. Team Up!!!

I am so excited that this week The Twinery is teaming up with the designers over at Bella Blvd!  Bella has ALWAYS been one of my all time favorite manufacturers (I know, you're all surprised...) and the combination of Bella Blvd.  and The Twinery, well, let's say it's just about perfect!  If you haven't been following along, the ladies from both teams have come up with some incredible projects this week.  Make sure to stop by both The Twinery Blog and Bella Blvd.'s Blog to check them out!


I received a big box of goodies from the Bella Blvd.Team which included LOTS of papers & embellies, including some goodies from the Plastino Line...which was one of my all time favorites! Here's what I came up with.


Blossom, Shore, Honeydew and Pink Sorbet twine coordinated perfectly with the colors in this collection.  I did some fussy-cutting of flowers and those CUTE little lady bugs and used the Twinery Twine as the flower centers and stitched some ladybug trails!


 I also stitched a border around my blocks using blossom twine and embellished my sun with some Buttercream twine.


My second layout was created using one of my favorite Bella Blvd. releases this year...Sunshine and Happiness.  This line just makes me happy, full of bright cheery colors and some great embellies. 


I used some Pink Sorbet and Honeydew twine to create a pinwheel.  They coordinated PERFECTLY!



And Bella's new Flags and Decorative Tapes are must haves!

 

Now here's a chance for you to win some great Twinery Twine!  The Twinery is giving away 3 Original Sampler packs to three different winners. 


To win you must leave a comment on each of the Twinery's designer blogs for all 5 days of this product showcase, as well as on The Twinery's Blog.  A complete list of participating blogs will be on The Twinery Blog each day.  Deadline to leave comments is 11:59 EDT, Sunday, May 20th.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday, May 22nd on The Twinery Blog.
