Teacher Gift by Tanya H ♥

Helloooo! Tanya H. from Crafting On Caffeine. Today is my day here and I am happy to show you a pen flower pot! I just thought this would be great on a teachers desk and all those pens are red just for correcting papers!

For the pens I wrapped every pen with rumple ribbon then glued a double bow made from Rumple Ribbon on top to look like a flower. The Pot is the Stitched-up Treat Box from SVG Cutting Files that I expanded 110% and stitched up with Rumple Ribbon.


Also used:

Hope you enjoyed my project and don't forget to join us over at the Lovebug Lounge for inspiration and ideas. See you there!

The Best Layout w/ Stephanie ♥

 
Hey Lovebug friends! Stephanie here today. I hope this post finds you all well & enjoying the last Tuesday of July!!
I have a layout to share today that was inspired by this layout on Pinterest:
.
I  have used Dahlia from the Southern Sass collection for the bow tied around my picture. I also used 4 Beautiful Blooms-2 white (one small & one medium sized), a medium sized one in Kisses, and a medium sized one in Envious
I just adore these clay flowers! I know I have said it before but I will say it again-they are so versatile & fun to add to any project!!
You can read more about my layout on my blog.
Thanks for letting me share with you!
Stay crafty, friends!

Beautiful Bookmarks w/ Tanya Hahn ♥

Good Morning! Tanya H. from Crafting on Caffeine here and today is my Day!
 I'm so happy to show you these bookmarkers. My Daughter flipped when I made them!


I first cut out 2 flowers with the Flower Die from Jaded Blossom Spring Die Set, One Cardstock and one Lovebug Creations Mama's Mesh. then I hot-glued them together. Next I took a circle and hot glued them together with the Hugh paperclip in between and pressed together to secure. 
I then made a bow with Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon and spread it out and hot glued that on as well.


Hope you enjoyed all 3 and maybe you will try to make yourself one.

Happy Summer w/ Dawn Mercedes ♥

Dawn Mercedes here...from Sunnyside Up!

 It's summer time...and time to have some watery, wavy fun with 
Lovebug Creations' very unique..Mama's Mesh!
Did you know that there are 15 different colors you can buy?
You don't have to keep it straight for your crafting projects.




Here, I cut a wave into it. 
I flipped the small section to the bottom...
sponged both the top edge and the bottom edge with a blue ink.

Glue Dots ® are a great way to secure this mesh ribbon!
