I don't think it gets much better than Authentique Paper and The Twinery Bakers Twine!
LOVE :)
Today I am so excited to be able to hop along with some of the Authentique Design Team AND the Twinery Design Team! Whoop whoop!
You should have hopped here from my friend Julie's Blog./
She sure does rock the Twine!
Now for my project....A Halloween layout made with the uber cool "Glowing" Collection
Where's the pictures you ask? I DIDN'T TAKE ANY!
GASP! This scrapbooker mom of 4 did not take one single picture this Halloween.
My 15-year-old dd told me I didn't care about the memories any more :(
So this 2011 Halloween layout is all about the memories that
"mom didn't care about"
some close ups
I used Charcoal and Mandarin Orange twine
and a helpful tip...if the white is too bright for your papers, you can use some Distress Stain or ink to make it have more of a cream tint...more miles for your buck!
Now it's time to hop on over to

Great page! I love the music paper and the touches of twine! And so open, you will be able to get a lots of photos on here
I think this page is great! I often think about making pages with memories but no pixs because I did not take any and now you have pushed me to do it! Love it!
I have several layouts without photos...love your combo of great paper and The Twinery baker's twine!
Those twine colors are perfect with those fabulous colors ... and the memories really are more important than the photos.
that music paper is fab, and the twine looks great
LOL! Leave it to a 15 year old to bring you back to reality...
Love the page! Great paper choices!
ooops, next stop should be Stephanie Johnson http://www.parkersprints.blogspot.com/

Great LO! I hear ya on photos, I didn't take any this halloween either. I've gotten bad about them recently, I know bad scrapper :)
Loving this combo... Thanks for sharing...
super cool layout and love the twine across the centre. looks great.
Great idea to use distress ink on the twine! Beautiful project and don't feel guilty about the Halloween photos.... I usually forget too!
Very pretty layout!
Love all the ways you used the twine :) Great idea about a page without pictures...sometimes you just don't get any...happened to me a few times.
Gorgeous layout! I think you need to dress them up again and take those Halloween photos! :)
Great layout! Too bad about the pictures.
First of all, your blog header is gorgeous! I love your layout, and am so happy you used the musical sheet. I have that, and have been eager to see it in use! Beautifully done - thank you for sharing :)

Great layout, love the colors!
Your layout is terrific. Love the colors and the use of the twine. Really nice.
Love that use of the twine, and I LOVE those papers. Your layout doesn't need pictures - it makes its own statement! Ihave made alot of layouts of just stories I didn't want to forget and decorate the page. But I need some of that twine!!

I am in love with those papers and the twine matches perfectly!
Great page, I can just imagine your goblins rockin' out on the page.
I like your story. I too have made pages without any pictures. It was about a memory on a cruise. I hid the journaling on it because it was a funny story about my sister, but she would be emberassed if I exposed it.
The papers and twine are perfect together!!! I love photoless layouts sometimes the journaling is just perfect alone
I have those glowing papers- love what you hav done with them- even without pictures.
The perfect layout to showcase both the paper and the twine! It definitely creates a fantastic memory!
with or without photos your layout is pretty darn fantastic!! love how you used the twine (I love distress inking my twine too)
Definitely a great layout!
Nice layout! Thanks for sharing
cute music paper!

Oh is that ever cute
Love that paper and what a great idea to use distressing ink

Love the layout. You're not alone....there have been many times I forgot to take pics.
I can hear the eery music coming from your page!!!!!
Really nice layout. Spooky, but fun!
Great layout Natalie! I just love the Glowing collection! Love the musical notes paper!

I've had to make my share of pages with no photos too! Sometimes the journaling is worth more anyway! Great layout!
Great layout even without the photos. =)
Wow! Love the page, the colors are awesome, love the music page (I am always tempted to take them to a musical instrument to see what kind of tune they might play lol) and the twine is the perfect finishing touch! Great job and beautiful work :)
Well I never thought to do a layout without photos, very interesting...
Even with no pictures, it is a great layout page. Love the papers and the twine. Fabulous. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
I think your page is fantastic! I didn't get a single good picture this year :( I guess both you and I will have to just take pictures of candy instead! Lol
Kindest regards,
Jennifer
WOW No Pic:-( It’s okay take one from last year or save for the next year! Love the paper and great ideal of adding the twine across the page. Love the music note of the paper Great Job!

thanks for the hop and the inspiration
great use of sheet music designs
Stunning card! I love the colors.
ooo like this..and always there will be time for memories yet..tfs..loves ya
Love this LO -- I'd snap some sad shots of crushed wrappers and do a large journaling block titled "The Memories I Didn't Care About"... I have LO's w/o pictures like that..
that music background paper is fantastic.
LOVE this collection of papers!!!!! I have a place in my heart for paper with music! THe twine is a great final touch!
I think you should put a caption on the page " DD told me I didn't care about the memories any more :(" and put it in your book!!!
Great page, even without a picture !!
Fun Halloween pages - Don't you love the twine colors? They are perfect!
Very creative, like how you used the sheet music.
Haha! I didn't take any pictures either. My 15 month old doesn't know what Halloween is, so I didn't spend the money. :-)
what's more important the memories or the photos (sure they're nice, but not always necessary)
Love the page and authentique halloween collection. Love the twine all wrapped around the page! Thanks for sharing!
Real fun halloween layout! I love the twine and button!
I'm betting that mom was just really busy with tons of other stuff...and I'll also bet that if your kids are anything like mine, sometimes you just don't feel like trying to get them to pose, etc...
Anyway, cool page! You could fill it with journaling about all you DID do for Halloween!
Very fun paper and I think I have the same problem with taking photos the older my children get.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent!
LOL had to laugh at your "mom didnt care about" paragraph. The layout is great, love the colors, especially your staining / inkings. wonderful textures and layering. thank you for sharing and a chance to win.
I too have those years where I did not take a single picture! Some 1st days of school too!! Your page is great!!
Love this layout...even if there are no pics! I'm sure it will be filled here pretty soon! Thanks so much for sharing.
Awesome layout, love all the details!
Great pages. Phantom of the opera music would go well lol!
A Halloween to remember! :)
Love the details on tha page! (and you could always stage photos after the fact - hee hee!)
Great page. Love the music background
Nice layout Natalie, great job....
I LOVE the black and orange together!!!
I love the music paper!
Loving the Glowing line... ESPECIALLY this GREAT music paper!
Good tip about tinting the twine.
the music paper is very nice.

I like how you tied the twine - great idea when bows aren't the best option.

I am so glad I am not the only mom who forgot to take pictures! Our albums have several pages of 'forgotten' photos and lots and lots of story pages. They are still beautiful! Thanks :)
Great LO. That music paper is perfect.
15 yr. olds .. no matter what you do you can't make them happy.. Love the music paper..
