Sweet Pink AZ Cowgirl Chic bag

Hey Y'all...Dawn here with my Sweet Pink Arizona Cowgirl Chic bag. That's a mouthful.
I guess I didn't get enough chic pink in my last project so it carried over to this one. :) But I sure love how it came out. 

 I started with the Linnie Blooms treat bag.  I like the stitching around the bag and I was going to use it this way until I decided to put all the pink girl trims on it.  So I turned it inside out...or outside right...depending on how you look at it.   Then I folded over the top and glued it with a glue gun. 

 So I played with the trims deciding what to use. I really love the wide flower trim and the pink zebra...made me think of my granddaughter Chloe. :) 

 I used a yard of the trim folded in half for the strap..I stitched down the middle so you have a design on both sides. And I lined the inside with a piece of a vintage tablecloth I had on hand...I save all that kind of stuff. Love it and it was perfect for this project.

 Again I used the glue gun to attach all the trims and I found the metal concho and gave it a little Arizona Chic Cowgirl look.

 I think it turned out sweet...it is a big hit in my store and I think we will be doing this for a class...definitely!  

I hope you enjoyed my project...check out the Linnie Blooms website for lots of cool canvas products and keep watching our blog for so many great ideas...have fun creating!

Thank you!

Linnie Blooms Doodle Bracelet

It's fun to doodle on canvas with fabric markers! It's even MORE fun to doodle on Linnie Blooms Canvas Bracelet Blanks! These bracelet blanks curve automatically to fit most wrists and feature canvas on both sides....plus decorative stitching already done for you. How cool is that?!

 This is THE perfect project for a scout troop, camp, birthday party or sleepover activity...and a wonderful gift idea for a Mom, Grandma, sister, or best friend.  You can even create a more sophisticated version for yourself!

For this project, I used Tulip® Fine Tip Permanent Fabric Markers on a Canvas Bracelet Blank.
Simply place the bracelet flat on your table. Make sure you are drawing on the curved side and begin doodling with the black marker.

Continue adding rows of doodles until the entire bracelet is covered.

At this point, you  have an option.  You can leave the bracelet black and off-white canvas color so it looks like this....

You can also add a few color highlights within a few areas....OR color in the entire design so it looks like this.....

Can't decide?  No surprise....I couldn't either!  So I decided to do ONE of each!  LOL!

Journal with Blooms

Hi,  it's Ann here today from the Linnie Bloom's Design Team and the blog: AnnMakes.  I  used a Home Decor Kit from Linnie Blooms:  Rustic  Journal to make  myself a portable watercolour journal to carry in my bag.

I used some Gelatos and some water to alter the natural canvas for the cover.  I also altered the house shape that comes in the kit to make a flap for the journal.

I used pink and gold gelato to colour the blooms and enhanced the centres with big black embroidery threaded knots. I later glued the flowers to the cover.

I finished the inside cover with some vintage dictionary pages and some Mod Podge.

I cut three sheets of watercolour paper into 6 pieces to make 12 pages in the journal.  I used a very simple book making method by making two holes through the papers and the canvas.

 I then used the piece of jute cord from the kit to bind everything together with a double knot.

I sewed a zig zag line on the house/flap.  I also stitched the flap to the journal back on my sewing machine.  I added small velcro to the cover and flap.

Finally to add some whimsy to the cover I used some stamps and Staz On ink for the Bee.

I hope that you are inspired to make your own personal piece with the lovely Linnie Bloom's Kits.

Supplies:

Smile & Believe Canvas Layout

Hello!

It’s Rochelle again and today I am sharing with you another 12x12 layout I created using 

Linnie Blooms Canvas Scrapbooking Page.

This is a layout about my In-laws who just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary!!  They are truly an inspiration!  I used Websters papers and fussy cut the rainbow and the title piece with the kites.  I also used a few scraps to layer underneath the photo.

I used Linnie Blooms Stitched Greeting Stamp Set for the title & Linnie Bloom Stitched Sunshine Stamp Set  for the sunflower over the rainbow.

For added dimension, I added my favorite... Linnie Bloom Mesh and tied a bow.

I hope I have inspired you to create something fun! Stop by Linnie Blooms for more Canvas products and project kits! :)
