GJS and Linnie Blooms Blog Hop



Welcome to the  Genuinely Jane Studios(GJS) & Linnie Blooms Blog Hop! If you came from Amy's Blog then you are in the right place. If not, and you would like to start at the beginning, please head over to the Linnie Blooms Blog. 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! 

For my hop project, I've created a Canvas for Halloween, which was totally inspired by the book and musical, Wicked. 



From GJS I used the Jane's Alterable Witches Boot. I loaded it down with texture using embossed tape and then added more texture with a stencil and some Special Effects paste. The banner I made using the Linnie Blooms Canvas Pennants. Since they are pre-cut, all I had to do was color them and add them to my twine. I used Gelatos to color them green for the Wicked theme, and used my embossing pen and black embossing powder for the stitching around each pennant. 

A few other angles... 


I thought in celebration of all of the inspiration you will be seeing on this hop, that I would offer up something for one lucky person who leaves a comment here on my blog! If you follow me, I'll throw in an extra chance. (winner will be chosen with random.org)

Here is what the winner from my personal blog will receive:


But that is not all... 

Because we love our followers, each company has generously offered up a prize! Two lucky winners will be chosen at the end of the hop to receive the following: 

GJS - Gift Certificate for Wood Albums valued at $15
Linnie Blooms - One long canvas blank and 3 sets of mixed media shapes. 

How to Win: Leave a comment on all of the blogs in the hop. The lineup is listed below for reference!
