Red White Blue Just for You

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Today I'm here to share my July patriotism challenge project. 

I decided to steer clear of a flag creation and just go with 

Red, White and Blue

Gift tags always come in handy so I went with red, white and blues 

to come up with this pretty tag.

This would also be great added to a card, don't you think?

You can find this versatile luggage tag along with the feather stencil/mask you see 

on the background in the Linnie Blooms Shop.

ALSO...

While I have you here today I just want to take a quick moment to 

say that today is my last post as DT member for Linnie Blooms.

If you know me at all you know that cards are my comfort zone and I love creating them.

Linnie Blooms helped forced me to step out of my zone and get more involved with mixed medias.  I've had a fabulous time learning and growing in that area of my creative life. 

Here are a few of my favorite creations using Linnie Blooms products. 

I have had a fantastic time working with Linda and her marvelous products.

Thank you so much for allowing me to part of your wonderful design team.

'til next time...

Patriotic Challenge

This month at Linnie Blooms we were challenged to be patriotic in our designs.

My card features a quaint little house and a sweet little flag in red, white and blue.

 I love our country and count my blessings daily for my home, my friends and family...

and of course my creative family as well!

Thanks for stopping in today.

Red White and Blooming

Hello Linnie Blooms Friends!

Donna K here to share with you my "Red White and Blooming" 

project in honor of Independence Day.

I love using the long blank canvases to create small home decor items.

I cut the 5"X11" piece in half to created the base for this piece.

Sprayed it with some 

Sweet Cherry Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spritz 

and that is the base for my project. 

You'll also find that wonderful chevron burlap piece in the

Linnie Blooms Shop.

I have incorporated a sweet stamped sentiment, some bling, buttons and stickers.

The adorable Melissa Frances hanger I use to display my piece is found HERE.

Linnie Blooms Facebook page for your chance at being the pick of the week!

'til next time.

Lite my Fire

Happy Wednesday!

During June we have been an Outdoor Fun challenge.

I'm sure at first glance you can guess where I am headed with my sassy card.

We have lots of bonfires at my house all summer long.

...and....Marshmallows are a MUST.

I think my husband will get a kick out of this one because he is 

always the fire starter.

I used a Linnie Blooms shapes card kit for the base and

a Linnie Blooms canvas pennant shape to accent the "you" on my sentiment.

I just added some yellow acrylic paint and doodling to make it unique.

You will never run out of options with these pieces. 

Now don't forget that you can share your designs on the 

Linnie Blooms Facebook page for a chance to be the Pick of the Week...

we'd love it if you did!

Have a wonderful day.

Tooth Fairy Dreams

Hello!

I'm excited to share this gift I created for a special little man

in our family who has his very first loose tooth.

I think little Maddox is going to be so tickled with his

"Tooth Fairy Pocket"

It holds a tag...

that holds an envelope...

 for his tooth.

And exchange for the tooth...

a little sumthin' sumthin' from the Tooth Fairy.

I monogramed the back.

Added a small handle just incase he'd prefer to hang it on his bed post

or door knob vs. under the pillow. 

You can find this darling little canvas flourish pocket in the Linnie Blooms Shop.

Be sure to peek in on the Linnie Blooms Facebook Page too.

We welcome you to share your designs using Linnie Blooms products on 

Facebook  where the "Pick of the Week" wins a $10 gift certificate.

Have a great day.

My Sunny Friend

Hello!

Donna K here to share a card I created 

for a special "sunny" friend.

I was aiming toward a sun/floral direction when I created

the corner piece.  I used Linnie Blooms Card Kit and 

die cut pennant canvas pieces from the shapes set

to create the rays/petals.

I really love the layers and thickness of mixed media cards.

They make such a statement, don't you agree?

You can find these products and much more

in the Linnie Blooms Shop.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope your day is really, really SUNNY!

Be Yourself / Linnie Blooms Card Kit

Hello and Happy Friday!
Today I'm here to share a sweet card with you that I
created with some of my brand new goodies from 
Linnie Blooms. 

I am totally in love with this wonderful Flutter Card Kit.  

For those of you like me who LOVE creating cards, it's perfect.

Using some heidi swapp color shine I sprayed the butterfly canvas die cut.

After the spray dried I just used a colored pencil to shade 

the edges a bit and folded it into a pretty flower. 

I like the combination of color and worn edges with this design.

Thank you for allowing me to share my card today.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Do What Makes You Happy

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Man O Man…

Sometimes I struggle with journaling and scrapbooking…ever get in that rut?

I did this page (6X6") for our son who is an avid movie connoisseur.

I have told him a bazillion times that I 

would do this book for him so it's about time I got started. 

I've added all sorts of bits and pieces of texture and color.

You can find that bright red  

Linnie Blooms canvas shape piece in the shop.

This particular piece is a pocket, but I turned it sideways to create an arrow.

Thanks for peeking in on me today.

Take some time and browse the posts and the Linnie Blooms shop.  

You'll find gobs of inspiration from Linda and the rest of this 

amazing team. 

Have a happy weekend.

Imagine Dream Fly Linnie Blooms Wall Art

Hello and Happy Saturday!
Donna K here to share a little piece of Linnie Blooms Wall Art with you.

I used a Linnie Blooms "long blank" canvas and actually cut it in half.

Isn't it cool that you can change up these pieces and use them in just about any way imaginable to create anyTHING!

I tend to work better on smaller spaces…maybe that's why I enjoy cards 

so much more than a larger scrapbook page?

I just had myself a little canvas, paper and lace party on this 

ready to decorate blank canvas piece.

I even swiped a strip of Gelato pigment from the 50's Diner collection 

across the center for a bit of drama in that area. 

LOVE the sweet canvas butterfly on this…

I've used these butterflies on cards but I think this wall decor is my favorite.

AND…

I just HAD to show you this awesome display piece…

do you love this decorative hanger as much as I do?! 

I hope you enjoyed stopping by today. 

Just so you know...

Have a great day today!!

Gift of Friendship

This is the year I want to create more "hand made" gifts.

So….I spot this burlap canvas and had to have it. 

I love how it's rugged, but pretty and not perfect on the edges.  

Now,  it was just a matter of what to put on it.

I found the perfect sentiment to use but it needed MORE….

That's when my Linnie Blooms canvas shapes started calling out to me.

I have said before, but will repeat…

how fun it is to use these blank canvas pieces!

You can seriously…..

use them blank, ink them, sew them on, paint them, draw on them…

endless possibilities.

Thanks for letting me be part of your day today.

And don't forget…

I {heart} Linnie Blooms

Hello,  Donna K here with a very photo filled post.  

This is my first post for Linnie Blooms…yay me!

I was so excited with all of my Linnie Blooms treasures when they arrived I went a little canvas crazy!

I started out with the 9" X 11" canvas blank and an idea for a Love theme wall hanging.

I used spray color shine paint in peach, acrylics in greens, browns and white along with lots of metal embellishments and ribbons to create this keepsake.  

I painted and/or stamped on each Canvas Heart piece.

9x11 Canvas Blank

At the top of this piece I used metal eyelets to create  a sturdy place to thread the ribbons for attaching a dowel and chain so that this piece can hang nicely for wall display.

On to project number two…

another Canvas Heart project.

I created this Valentine and used Gelatos for my first time to shade the canvas piece.

How FUN they were.  I simply sectioned the piece, shaded it and added stickles for some shimmer in the center.  I also used 3D adhesive to pop up the heart so it has plenty of dimension. 

Canvas Hearts

These Gelato kits  make it so easy to shade and combine your colors.  

Red Gelatos Set

Lastly…I just wanted to make oooonnnneeee more project.

I wanted to use an owl, but somehow that owl …. with some orange acrylic paint turned onto her side and became a FISH.

 A feathery gold fish with shimmery gills and a pearly eye!

Canvas Owl

I'm pretty tickled with how this sweet little CAS card turned out.  

She will make a great valentine for someone special this year.  

Thank you for letting me go a little photo crazy in this post and for the opportunity to share my fun, canvas filled projects with you today. 

We'd love to have you join us for our January Sketch Challenge here at Linnie Blooms.

See you next time!
