Fabulous Friday - Twine

Greetings! The challenge this Fabulous Friday at Frosted Designs is to use twine on your project - how easy is that! Hope you'll hop over to Frosted Designs to see what the design team has come up with and make a project of your own to link up with us!
For my project I made an adorable twine banner for my August 366 Art Journal/ Calendar project. If you are unfamiliar with this project, you can see my original post here. Hop over to The Kathryn Wheel to see what Kathryn and other artisits have created for their August calendars. The grid for the calendar is also made with twine, the brand I used is "The Twinery". The background is book paper followed by Basics paint, then a layer of dotted tissue paper followed by lots of stamping and stenciling. The banner pieces are punched out of white light weight chipboard with a punch by Stampin' Up. The "august" letters are rub-ons. The matching background for the scrapbook side of my layout is waiting for just the right picture to complete it! I've made a step-out showing how the adorable crackle paint birds are made and it will be on the Frosted Designs blog on August 26th. 
Thanks for stopping by today!
