Introducing our 2015 Design Team Members

Meet Dawn Mattson:

Hi, my name is Dawn Marie Mattson. I have lived in a small town in Northern Arizona for almost 28 years. I'm married and I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who, I thank the Lord, all live here near me. 

I own and operate a small store in our town named Morning Star Crafts and Collectibles and an online store and blog, sunrisescrapbookandvintage.com

I am very blessed to be doing all the things I love, scrapbooking, paper crafting and mixed media. I also paint, sew, bead, Brazilian embroidery and vintage repurpose just to name a few. But scrapbooking and mixed media are my favorites and the focus of my store.  I'm lucky to meet so many people from around the world as the city I live in is frequently visited by tourists.

I love creating all kinds of projects and my specialty is themed mini books. I create them for all occasions from birthdays to vacations to bad hair days.

Learn more and stay in touch with my blog under "tutorials" on sunrisescrapbookandvintage.com

I am also honored to be here. This is going to be so much fun! Can't wait to see how creative everyone is and what great projects we come up with. Congratulations to all of you!  ~Dawn

Excited and honored to be part of the Design Team for THE  most awesome products! Let the creativity begin!

MSMR Challenge - January

Well, if you are looking at the calendar, today isn't the 1st Friday of the month.  But, this is the best we could do after celebrating the holidays.  

Today's the last MSMR Challenge for this group of designers.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing their work consider following them.  Thank you Holly, Joan, Therese, Sheila and Casey for sharing your design work with us!  

Here is the image the designers used for their inspiration this month;

First up, let's look at Sheila's take on this month's piece:

How stink'in shabbylicious is this!  Sheila used Linnie Blooms Mini File Folders as her base for this mini album.  I love all of the embellishments!  Thank you Sheila!

Next us is Joan with a gorgeous 12x12 layout, using a Linnie Blooms Canvas.  

Joan did an excellent job adding tons of texture and interest to her background.  The bicycle is an added touch that reminds you of the inspiration piece.  Thank you Joan!

Casey shows us just how simple you can use Linnie Blooms canvas pieces and the Mixed Stitch Greetings Stamp Set to make a card.  Thank you Casey!

Next, Holly has an early jump on Valentines Day with a Linnie Blooms Canvas Envelope and die cut hearts.

I'm sure Holly's husband will appreciate receiving this!  Thank you Holly!

Lastly, Therese used the Linnie Blooms Flourish Pocket to make a gift card holder.

By cutting the "flourish" off the pocket, Therese has given this pocket different look and the ability to put a larger embellishment on the front.  The Canvas Flourish Pockets are such a quick an easy way to present giftcards or money in this case!  Thank you Therese!

Now it's your turn!  Show us what type of mixed stitch media project you have made!

January Kit of the Month

Happy New Year!  I'm excited to share with you the January Kit of the Month!  This kit includes a Linnie Blooms 12x12 Canvas Page, lots of canvas die cuts, AND, one of our upcoming spring releases, the Canvas Pitcher.  I never get tired of flowers, so I had to create a great piece to display them in!  

And don't forget -- Your purchase of this kit includes color instructions AND access to the online how-to video!  But don't wait too long to place this order because supplies are limited!

All New - Kit of the Month

I hope you are enjoying the creative uses that the design team has found for Linnie Blooms products. Today I wanted to share with you that throughout 2015 Linnie Blooms will be offering a Kit of the Month.  These kits are created in limited quantities and will include a FREE how-to online video that will show you exactly how I created the project.  This is in addition to color written instructions and the supplies that you receive to complete the project.

We are getting a jump start with this beautiful December Kit.  At this time there is no subscription required to get your kits.  Simply order the kit when you see it becomes available.  If we haven't run out, you will receive it, along with a link to the video.

I hope you will take advantage of this great offer!  Better still, when you create your project, be sure to load a picture of it on our Mixed Stitch Media Revolution Facebook Group Page!
