I just love how this little album turned out. I use Carta Bella wedding papers...you can really use it for anything. Maybe an anniversary...Mother's Day. You can pick and choose from the cards that come with the paper line and make it whatever you like.
This is a class we will be doing in the store....visit us on FB @ Morning Star Crafts and Collectibles and on instagram @ Dawn~Marie~Mattson.
Have a Blessed weekend...be safe.

Hey...Dawn here from the Linnie Blooms Design Team. This is my project for our bloghop with Stampendous. LOVE all these products and have them all in my store also.
I used the Linnie Blooms canvas book...I got a little carried away using the fabric on it..but I think it came out so sweet...and so me. I added an old doily I found and wrapped it around the book.
The doily had 2 rings that I used to tie a piece of lace through to close it.
Here is a picture of the open covers with the doily wrapped around it.
First inside pages...I used the sister stamps I received from Stampendous and stamped on the Linnie Blooms butterfly and luggage tag the cute sayings. I put the tag inside the Linnie Blooms fence I glued on the page. I left it a natural color because I liked how it looked. I used Gelatos to paint the butterfly, tag, flowers and leaf. I used the Encrusted Jewel kit fragments in pink for the center of the flower. How cool are these!
The tag and butterfly closeup with the stamps on them...I really like this sister line of stamps and know I will be using it to make cards for my sisters. :)
Isn't this Encrusted fragments some awesome stuff...wow! I want more in ALL the colors.
This is the next page layout...I think it looks like pajamas. lol I need pics of my sisters and me at a sleepover. Maybe this Summer when we are camping.
Here are three more Linnie Blooms flowers painted with Gelatos and filled in the centers with Encrusted fragments. I also stickled around all the flowers to make them blingy.
And the last layout is a little poem I like and a picture of me, my mom and my oldest sister. The butterfly is Linnie Blooms with a little paper flower in the center.
Linnie Blooms luggage tags from inside the book.
I put one of the tags inside the pocket of the book. How cute is this pocket...Love it!
Thanks for checking out my project...enjoy the rest of the hop!

What do you think? I love these little pillows and plan on making lots more and different flowers.
First I took the large Linnie Blooms leaves and cut them all in half...
I used 8 leaves and cut them in half to make 2 rows for the sunflower that fit perfect on the mini pillows.
Then I arranged them onto the mini pillow to look like a sunflower.
I took 8 more leaves and rounded one edge for petals on my daisy. I left 2 leaves to use as leaves.
I arranged them on the pillow and took pictures with my phone to remember placement on both pillows.
I used acrylic paint to paint everything. You can use the colors you like but I think the sunflower needs to be yellow. I ironed everything paint side down to make them flat after they were dry.
I made the daisy white...but you could make the flowers all kinds of pretty colors. Bright and cheery colors would be great. Make daisy pillows in all different colors...how cool would that be. :)
I glued all the petals in place with hot glue.
I painted over them with a couple coats of PPA...Perfect Paper Adhesive. Just to soften them and it helps to keep them clean. It will not dry shiny...but protected.
I hunted for small black buttons...they are harder to find than I thought...and I used them for the center of my sunflower. You
might want to paint the center black first so the green doesn't show
through. Mine did and I used black beads to hide it...:) For the daisy I found a big pretty yellow button.
I used a black PITT artist pen to dot the center...
All you have to do is stuff them.
And there you go! So cute and a great gift for Mom..sister..daughter, granddaughter.
