ASC 40 Bakers Twine

I love bakers twine! when I saw this post on Aly's Sunday Challenge I knew I had to participate.  I just bought black twine recently, so I dug in my black paper scrap drawer and came up with this for a design.  I went without a sentiment so it could be used for a male graduation, or birthday card. 

365 Cards: Trendy

Today's Challenge on http://365cards.blogspot.com/ is to add something to your card that is trendy.  I used bakers twine to thread through the botton which is really popular right now.  The thread is inexpensive and adds instant character to your cards.  Buttons and ribbon are my all time favorites, and I added an element that I've only seen a few times around that I think should be a new trend: "Bobby Pins".   Everyone is wearing them in their hair...why not on a card!  The card recipient can take it off and keep it as a gift and wear it in rememberance of you!  I found this bobby pin at a store called Forever 21 in the mall    On clearance a pack of 7 pins was only $2.99 which is cheap as far embellishments go.
