Say 'Cheese' for Timeless Twine and my 500th Blog Post!

Woohoo!  This is my 500th blog post!  Cause for a celebration, I think!  I'm also very close to 400 blog followers and have nearly 100 'likes' on my Facebook page, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  So, with so much happening, it's time for a giveaway! More on that at the end of this post.
I'm posting today on the Timeless Twine blog, and I always love to make projects with twine.  It makes me happy.  Today's project is no exception!


I found this little girl silhouette in the Silhouette Online Store, and I thought she was so sweet.  I thought she would compliment the Bella Creationz stamp set, "Oh Snap".
I also used the colors in this month's Timeless Twine Color Challenge: Red, White, and Aqua.
Please join the challenge!  There's great prizes to be won!

All cardstock in this card are from Close To My Heart.
Now, did I mention something about a giveaway?  I have some Timeless Twine (of course!!!), some 3 Girl JAM ribbon, a Unity stamp set, a Close To My Heart stamp set, some Pinque Peacock embellishments, a 6x6 paper pad, and various embellishments that I need a home for. I also have two generous sponsors:  DigiStamps4Joy is giving a $10 gift certificate to the store, and The Cutting Cafe is offering any 3 sets.  WOW! If you'd like to be eligible to win, please leave a comment on any of my blog posts between now and July 6.  I'll draw a winner on my birthday.  It's my day, and you get the present!  I'd also love it if you "like" my Facebook page and follow my blog, if you don't already. 
Say Cheese!

  16. Cute card Julie. I am already a follower; but your Facebook link said it wasn't available or broken. Can you check to see if it is working on your end? I tried to like it; but it wouldn't work. I am a CTMH consultant; so you don't have to include me in drawing. I was just dropping by because you put it on our DS4J team page. Hugs. Gloria
