Hello, all! I recently was inspired by the Twisted Sketches sketch #089 and the twist "pins."

I had a punky goth phase a while back (a long while back!).

I found these two pictures of me in my punkier days and I saw that they were of me and my two best friends; my husband and my BFF. I went with a punky theme and used Endless Love for the (Paper) Trailmakers Endless Love challenge. I thought it was perfect because I have an endless love for the both of them. I used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to make a criss cross pattern around the die cut along with faux stitches drawn with an poaque pen. I set eyelets at the bottom of the larger picture so I could lace some ribbon through and hang some safety pins from it. I used tulle, a screw brad, and TH gear to make a flower and 

Endless Love Close Up 1. I used my Cricut to cut out some of the title and the "love" part is from the Immortal Love chipboard collection. I also used Cherry Ice Smooch to splatter some red in the background.
