Title: Rope Some Steer
Hostess: Lisa Rasmussen, helmts1981
Keyword: AUG11VSNZ
Day/Date: Friday, August 26th
Time: 10:00pm EST
When I think of a rodeo I think of hot cowboys on their horses ropin' steer. Probably because I live near San Francisco I get most of my rodeo knowledge from TV or the movies. I am sure my thinking is way off base!
My challenge is……for you to make a card with twine.
you can go for elaborate creations with tons and tons of twine or you can be understated and only have a little bit of twine! You HAVE to use twine though!

Excellent! I love using twine (and yes, it goes perfectly with western themed cards too, though I am not sure if that is what I am making...)
No worries about western themes (unless you are using another challenge that calls for that). I made cards that I could use for upcoming events so I can always keep up my supply on hand
I have a quick question...where do you get bakers twine? I was in JoAnne's and I couldn't find so I asked someone and they looked at me like I was crazy and told me to try the grocery store.

I get mine online... twinery, sweet and sassy, paper and such... there are a number of places..
I did look online and found it but I hoping to grab it locally. I need to run to hobby lobby hopefully sometime tomorrow...maybe I can get some help there.
If you have a local scrapbooking or stamp store you might find it a bit easier then a big chain. Also thick embroidery thread can do the trick in a pinch as well! Remember the thread we used to make friendship bracelets with? that is pretty much what backers twine is except sun around each other
the masculine card sample I have is the linen thread that stampin up carries if that helps and the bakers twine I used on the other card is from The Cats Pajamas

I got 3 of the monster spools online from Whisker Graphics (they are awesome to order from, btw). I have seen it locally at Ben Franklin, and I think Martha Stewart had some out around Christmas...maybe JoAnn's or Michael's?
ok I am getting off of here for the night! If you have questions please post and I will check in periodically over the weekend! can't wait to see what you all create!
