Our new challenge is by Annette! She would like her challenge to be "Something New. The challenge is to be NEW"

"New for me this was being a GDT, my first easel card, my first four drawer box, something NOT PURPLE, I really would love crafters just to try a new technique, use something that is new to them (a pressie from Christmas) or to create a project for something new like a birth card, new home, it is up to you. Your interpretation of NEW."

Let's get to know Linda a little better!!


What is your favorite craft medium? Really enjoy my chalk inks and Prismacolor pencils but I just can't live without my Stickles/Glitter.

What is your favorite scrap item/tool? Would have to be my Cuttlebug, embossing folders and Spellbinders dies.

What is your favorite paper line/company? I have t to get my hands on any paper that I didn't love. I guess K&Company, Basic Grey and Bo Bunny would be my favorites.

What is your favorite color(s)? Green and Earth Tones for home decorating and for crafting I like all colors and use a lot of green, pink, purple and blue.

How do you have your scraproom decorated? Colors, themes, homey, contempo, etc.? Pretty much I just go with the comfortable and functional look in my craft room.. I really do have a place for everything so I can find what I want when I want it. My craft room is in the basement with no windows so to brighten things up a bit I have lots and lots of sunflowers for decorations.

Are you an animal person? Do they have a place in your scrap room? I don't have any pets.

What is your favorite Disney movie? I have 6 grandkids and I do enjoy seeing lots of good Disney movies with them. But there isn't one that stands out as my all time favorite.
Do you watch TV/movies white working? I used to watch HGTV shows but now I just listen to the radio because it is less distracting when I am being creative.
Do you get your inspiration from them? I get inspiration from everywhere....nature, fabric, clothing, art and all magazines (not only craft ones) and of course from my blog friends. There are lots of times ideas pop into my head out of nowhere.

Sweet or savory snacks? Both....I really love my chocolate and nuts and usually have a little fix of both everyday.

Scary or Romantic movies? No scary stuff for me. I like a fun and silly romantic comedy or just a good old tear jerker.

Beach or snow vacations? I am really not allthat fond of the winter and cold. I do love the beach when I can get there, but there aren't any beaches in Kansas.

Favorite type of music? Oldies from the 60's to the 80's.

Now! Let's get started on our LOVE LETTERS card and make sure to enter your creation on Linda's Blog!!
