Linnie Canvas And Smooch Spritz!

Good morning my friends, 

Happy Friday- Happy WEEKEND! It's finally here and I 

have a little tutorial to share with you using Linnie Blooms Canvas

pieces and the ever popular Smooch Spritz in Cherry Ice & Gold Glow. 

I started with this mini kraft notebook I got from Michaels

a while ago- it was all of .50 I am sure. 

Paint it with just reg, spray paint. 

 Use Bo Bunny scraps to cover the back and front. 

 Then take one Linnie Bloom Canvas Sunflowers-

Fold one and stitch the middle with your sewing machine. 

 Spritz both flowers using Smooch Spritz in Cherry Ice & Gold Glow.

Using hot glue- adhere crinkled sewn flower into flat flower. 

 Adhere layered flowers to front of book. 

Using prima paper flower- spritz with Smooch Spritz in Cherry Ice & Gold Glow.

Adhere to top of layered flowers- add brass button. 

 Using book binding ribbon spritz with Gold Glow- tie into bow and

adhere below flower. 

Stamp PRECIOUS & THOUGHTS sentiment onto paper from first steps. 

Pinky By Design Stamps-

 Adhere in layers of flowers. 

 That's it- a sweet handmade notebook- perfect as a gift- or toss it in your purse!

That's it for me this Friday- time to go get busy with these boys of mine!

I love the canvas fun-

Now you can find my project on the LB blog and on their websites here

Fun In The Sun- Sounds About Right!

Tired of my layouts yet??

Ok ok neither am I- :) 

I had such fun creating with this August 2013 kit-

This page I created I really wanted to highlight the Clear Scraps acrylic title

So I spray painted the back then alcohol ink'd the front. 

I actually love the seaweed look it has. 

I kind of wished I had alcohol ink'd the starfish too. I might

go back and do that actually. 

They are just fun photos and the Bo Bunny was a fun line to work with too!

 That's it for me today short and sweet- I have this last week

before the kids head back to school- gotta get stuff done! :) 

Happy Hump Day!

Oh Mini- How I Love A MINI MINI

Good morning, Happy Tuesday friends.

Now how much fun is a MINI mini album? I mean Keychain sized album?

Umm the answer is THE BEST THING EVER! 

I just love that the Creating Made Easy August 2013 kit included

this adorable MINI mini keychain album- it is PRECIOUS!

 Perfect as a gift for my girlfriend who is moving away. 

 I literally just trimmed and cropped photos to focus on the main subject.

 It was a fun project to make. 

 EVERYTHING in this kit was crazy balls fun. 

 How will you create with your kit?

That's it for me today- I am off to create some more!

Have a beautiful day my friends. 

~More Fun With Sand On Layouts!~

Good morning, Happy Monday!

It's the very last week with the kids home before school starts

and I don't know if I am sad or ECSTATIC! LOL 

Anyways I had enough leftover Mudd Puddles Malibu Sand

from the Creating Made Easy August 2013 kit I was able to create this

layout using their EXCLUSIVE Clear Scraps Shovel & Pail

pieces that were created just for this kit! :) 

 I love it because it has that real plastic shovel and pail feel

because the acrylic is on the front and the paper is on the back. 

 I added the fun Muddle Puddles Sand to created the beach feel. 

 Not gonna lie- I love how it turned out! :) 

 This was a fun layout to create for sure. 

I might have to use Mudd Puddles more often!

 Ok until tomorrow peeps- that's all for me. 

It's a busy week ahead. MUAH!

My First Linnie Blooms Canvas Project!

Good morning, 

I am so excited to share my very first Linnie Blooms projects

with you all today. This layout using the fun canvas pieces. 

I thought I would share how I created this layout. 

First I took the canvas pieces from Linnie Blooms and spritz them 

with Smooch Spritz.

 Then I trimmed out 8.5X11 and 8X10.5 pieces of patterned paper.

(Bo Bunny). 

 I layered them and ran them through my sewing machine- stitching

the banner on and stitching on the layout itself. 

From straight to zig zag stitches. 

I stitched this sticker onto the spritzed pocket piece as well. 

 Then I matted the photo and layered my paper pieces onto the layout. 

 I added a few of the coordinating stickers and popped up 

a few handcut paper pieces. Then I added some yellow Liquid Pearls.

I think the Linnie Blooms canvas pieces add the perfect beachy feel. 

Now you can find my project on the LB blog and on their websites here

I am DYING of excitement! :) 

This is the new August 2013 Creating Made Easy kit and YES it includes

REAL sand from Mudd Puddles! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I couldn't wait when I saw this Clear Scraps Castle Album. 

Since we went to Gulf Shores this year and my friends are moving

I just love the Bo Bunny papers and embellishments too. Perfection!

All these fun photos just FILLED the album to the last page. 

Here is the FULL kit- beyond a value!

What The Cluck??!!

Good morning crafty friends,

I am laughing this morning because of this card- 

I HAD to make it, I have been saving it for a while now and

decided it was perfect for my gf's birthday. I mean she is turning the BIG 3-0!

Honestly I could not hep but make a FUNNY and fun card

and I knew I had this Kanban Crafts Wobbler (out of business now)

- and I could NOT resist.

Everything was sweet and nice except this! LOL

I printed and added the sentiments. 

 And of course I had to add the sentiment inside because my friend insisted

(ok she really just suggested it and I flew away with it).

 I added the BIG 3-0 to the eggs because let's face it. It's FRACKIN hilarious! 

Anyways it totally made her laugh so mission accomplished! LOL
I used the beautiful Ribbon's Unlimited ribbon to jazz it up and my Xyron to
adhere to pieces. All fun stuff! :)
The eggs are where I put her age...I am just happy she had a giggle! :)

Anyways Happy Tuesday- off to create!
