Our last day with guest designer, Linda Coughlin, brings us the last of her interview:
6. Who is currently your favorite paper company?
7. Tell us what you are currently addicted to.
"I’m going to combine these two questions because designer paper IS my addiction! I can’t even choose a favorite, but vintage/retro styles are my favorites (K&Co., Cosmo Cricket). Lately I have been using a lot of digital papers that I print myself. I’m hooked on the instant gratification of shopping for what I need for a work in progress and being able to download and use it immediately."
9. What is your favorite paper crafting season and why?
"Autumn/Harvest Season – I love the celebration of God’s bounty that takes place at that time of year with its rich palette of colors."
Here is Linda's incredible mini photo album card for her last day of designing with us:
Notes from Linda:
"I wanted to come up with something really special for my last day as a guest designer and decided to make a mini photo album/card. A pocket heart was used for the front and a different memory sentiment (from Cherish the Memories and Victorian Nested Frames) was stamped on the back side of each of 6 tags":
"The tag backs were a little too white so I stamped a pattern using a stamp from the Kaleidoscope set. The sentiment was then stamped over the background stamping. The heart die cut on the inside was stamped with a stamp from the Stitched With Love set in Versamark and clear embossed":
"Another stamp from the same set was layered over the heart. On the opposite page, I again stamped a Stitched With Love stamp on the background sheet and clear embossed it. A panel with another stamp from the same set was stamped and clear embossed to create a pocket for more photos."
"I used a Spellbinders label die to cut two tag style pieces that are tucked into pockets in the front and back of the card. More photos have been affixed to these tags. The card holds a total of four photos. I think this card would make a cherished keepsake to give to a special person."
Wow, anyone would be honored to receive this gift, Linda! Thanks so much for this fabulous gift card and all of your amazing projects this week!
