Paper Issues and The Twinery Blog Hop!

The new issue is up on the Paper Issues blog today and I am on the blog hop with a few other design team members. You should have arrived from Lisa's blog. But if this is your first stop and you want to start at the beginning, you need to go Here!
The Twinery and Paper Issues are coming together to bring you the
"X" Marks the Spot challenge
This is my take on the challenge.  I needed to do a two page layout instead of my usual one because I wanted to fit several photos of my son's art work. I scanned his drawings and then saved them as photos. I was impressed with how well they turned out. I can still see all of the fabulous little details in his drawings!
I used twine x's on two of my buttons. And then I decided to add a bit of twine for some borders as well. I know this image is small, but I wanted you to be able to see how the page worked as a whole.
Here are two photos of each individual side...
 
Side one and...
 side two.

So if you have any projects or would like to create any projects using twine or "x's", be sure to link up at Paper Issues. 

We have a great sample pack of twine from the Twinery for our giveaway worth $30!
All the details on how to link up and enter are on the Paper Issues blog Here!

In addition, The Twinery is having their own challenge on their blog with a giveaway of six large spools of twine worth $84 dollars! You can see all the details from their challenge Here!

Next up on the blog hop is Martha! :)
