Now- on to today's project!

I know it's not even Halloween yet-

but when I saw one of the newest Linnie Shapes-

I knew exactly what I wanted to make!

I colored the canvas tree with some Copic Markers and blinged it up with Stickles!

Very festive!

It works perfectly with some DCWV Burlap paper and some 

3 Girl JAM Ribbon.

Christmas will be here before you know it,

so time to get started on those cards to mail out!

Welcome to the  Genuinely Jane Studios(GJS) & Linnie Blooms Blog Hop! If you came from the Linnie Blooms Blog then you are in the right place. If not, and you would like to start at the beginning.   The hop will start today and last until the 11:59 PM EST on Friday the 11th. 

If you aren't familiar with these two fantastic companies, then let me give you some background on them:  

Genuinely Jane Studios manufactures small and medium size wood mini-albums for mixed media, scrapbooking and altered art in many shapes and sizes. All of the albums are hand made right on site in their Central Missouri facility. In addition to their albums, they also carry other art supplies in their online store. Find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/genuinelyjanestudios and their website at https://www.genuinelyjanestudios.com 

A love of creating has evolved into a studio where the owner, Linda Barutha, teaches mixed media art classes. Linnie Blooms is a local Mukwonago, Wisconsin  retail shop that offers craft supplies and art supplies. Fun and creative classes include mixed-media courses, monthly Pinterest classes, sewing classes for kids, crochet, and more. Linnie Blooms also manufacturers their own crafting supplies.  Linnie Blooms signature products are the Canvas Mixed Media Shapes & Blanks. These light weight canvas pieces are perfect for any of your crafting projects. Find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LinnieBlooms and their website at http://lindabarutha.com/

Both the GJS and Linnie Blooms teams have teamed up to share with you the wonderful things you can create with their products. Be sure to check out both the GJS and Linnie Blooms websites for the full line of products!

Hi Everyone!

"Welcome to the Crafty Chicks Blog Hop!  We are go glad you are here.  We are a group of creative gals who met on the WWW and decided to come together and share our passion for paper crafting with you.  Each month we have a different theme.  This month our theme is HALLOWEEN!

If you are coming from Nicole's Blog you are in the right place.  This is a full circle hop but just in case you get lost or want to see the full line up you'll find it HERE.

I made a little treat bag for Halloween goodies!

I tried to keep it simple. 

 I used files from the Silhouette online store to create the bag and the ghost.

The ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  Halloween Harvest and Tuxedo ribbon combined with the alcohol ink dyed stick pin make this extra spooky :)

Our sponsor this month is Nicole Robinson who is offering a $25.00 gift certificate to Close to My Heart.

To be eligible to win our fabulous prize you need to leave a comment on each one of our blogs and indicate you have done so in the Rafflecopter below.  You will also need to visit Nicole's shop and answer a (surprise) question.  There are many other optional entry choices.  Good luck!

For an extra entry- make your own Halloween project and post a photo of it on the Crafty Chicks Facebook Event Page HERE. 

Now hop on over to Heidi's Blog to see what she created.

Micro-Banner

Hi Everyone!

That's right- the title says Micro-Banner.

What is a micro-banner you may ask.....

It's a teeny tiny super cute banner!

Look real close under the shelf.

There's my micro-banner!!

OK-- here it is a little closer.

And closer...

And from a different angle-

And finally here's one where you can see the texture up close and personal!

For my banner, I used some Linnie Shapes from Linnie Blooms.

Check out the store HERE and grab some for your self!

I colored each canvas shape with my Copic Markers and then stamped some images and letters from Pink by Design.  I topped each shape off with some rhinestones from The Buckle Boutique.

It is all held together with some ribbon from 3 Girl JAM.

I hope you love my micro-banner as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!
