Hey there! 
Welcome to Day 2 of the Chic Tags/ The Twinery blog hop!
You must have found your way here from Christine Meyer's blog. 
If not, be sure to check the list below and start from the beginning so you can see all the lovely projects.

For my layout, I kept it simple, yet busy all at the same time.


It's simple because I stuck to only a few products but its busy because there is enough scattered here and there that your eye is drawn all over the page to take it all in. 
I wanted to use a significant amount of twine, so I started by mapping out where I wanted my twine, and what colors I wanted to showcase. I wrapped the center(ish) of my layout with the Twinery's Caribbean, Stone, and Pink Sorbet solid color twines. I added my title and photo, then I layered on the Chic Tags Cloud 9 Sequins, Mini Icons, Squares, Tidbits, and Label Stickers.

Here's a closeup of that beautiful twine...


Be sure to stop at the Chic Tags and The Twinery blogs first. And if you missed yesterday's hop you will want to catch those links there as well. There will be a prize from each company given out so hop over to The Twinery's blog to find out how you could win this...


and stop by the Chic Tags blog to see how you could win this...




Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the hop.
Below, you will find a list of today's hop stops in case you get lost.
Your next stop is Jennifer Cuthbertson. 
Have fun!

    Love how you kept the eye specifically focused to what's important on this layout but still used the beautiful twine colors and the Cloud 9 product. So glad to have you with us this week!
