Just Chillin' Blog Hop



Welcome to the Just Chillin' Blog Hop - if you bounced over from Jenny, then you're on the right iceberg, but if you swam upon this and want to start with our blog hostess, join in with Connie

Penguins Unite!
It's me, Pandora Penguin, and I'm here to say hi.  I'm all decked out in my finery - I'm wearing my LBC Mama's Mesh stole and dazzling pin; I've chosen a 3-D flower with LBC Simply Sheer Ribbon and some twine and I've even got a gift bag for the event - So Let's Party!!


I'm sharing in some Just Chillin' Mojo Magic today as our theme is all about me and my kind.

We have a great sponsor for our hop - Creative Cuts with a $10 gift certificate - you need to fan each spot and leave a comment and then let our blog hostess, Connie, know you followed the rules!


So do you know much about penguins?  Let's see:

*We are aquatic, flightless birds that are highly adapted to life in the water.

*Our distinct tuxedo-like appearance is called countershading, a form of camouflage that helps keep us safe in the water.

*We do have wing-bones, though they are flipper-like and are extremely suited to swimming. We are the fastest swimming and deepest diving species of any birds.

*We are found almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, where we catch our food underwater and raise our young on land. BTW, we do NOT live at the North Pole.

*In general, penguins closer to the Equator eat more fish and penguins closer to Antarctica eat more squid and krill (yummy)!

*My lifespan is 15 to 20 years.

*The smallest of us is the blue penguin also known as the fairy penguin (16 inches tall) and the largest is the emperor penguin (3 ½ feet tall).

*We are social birds. Many species feed, swim and nest in groups.

*I don’t jump – I bounce!

*Two-thirds of us are at risk, with five species officially considered endangered. Please be kind to us!!

Seriously, Mama LoveBug here for this National Awareness of Penguins! My project today is a Let's Just Chill party invitation card with two penguins from a Peachy Keen die I had, a Cameo-cut center step card using some fun Kathy Davis paper in various layers, and I used some of that paper for the penguins' hats.  The center is a 3-D flower from Lori Whitlock and the center of that is LBC Rumple Ribbon.


Here's the entire penguin parade in case you get lost:

Remember no matter how you rumple your ribbon and piece your paper, 
have fun with it.........cyberpenguins........Mama LoveBug

Well, I hope you enjoyed my spot and now I'll send you on to BETH

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 12




Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

Did you sleigh ride one last time from guest designer Haidee? If so you’re on the right path, but if you stumbled upon this hop and want to begin with our hostess, skate over to Lisa.

Hi, Crafties, Mama LoveBug here - well, we've come to the end of our 12 days and I hope you enjoyed the projects I created.  Thank you so much for your time and lovely comments.  As we approach the holiday season, from our home to yours - Happy Holidays from LoveBug Creations!

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming

(I'm happy to report the engagements of 7 drummers and 10 pipers to the 9 ladies dancing and the 8 maids a-milking; the other missing drummers simply got tired and took a nap!)


Eleven pipers piping (day 11)
Ten lords a-leaping (day 10)
Nine ladies dancing (day 9)
Eight maids a-milking (day 8)
Seven swans a-swimming (day 7)
Six geese a-laying (day 6)
Five golden rings (day 5)
Four calling birds (day 4)
Three French hens (day 3), 
Two turtle doves (day 2), 

And a partridge in a pear tree! (day 1)

Recipe for Double-sided stand-up card or table decor
*Digi My World image - printed twice in horizontal flip and fussy cut; then adhered to thicker Kraft paper and fussy cut again (4 times the cutting); accented with pearl pens and Stickles
*LoveBug Creations Mama's Mesh for his hat

As promised I took a picture of the beginning stages of decorating our local library's display case for my paper crafting projects - the 12 Days of Christmas start from top left to right and go along the first three tiers.  It was a very sunny day when I took the picture, so sorry about the glare but you will get the idea.



And for good measure - here's a pic of a book tree that some other ladies created for our library.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 11




Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

Did you sleigh ride over from guest designer Debbie? If so you’re on the right path, but if you stumbled upon this hop and want to begin with our hostess, skate over to Lisa.

This hop will take place November 25-December 6 and the new postings each day will be up by 8 AM EST. The hop will be full of wonderful ideas and inspiration to get you well on your way to create all of those beautiful Christmas projects. This is an awesome opportunity to get a lot of your Christmas cards, and scrapbook layouts finished, home decorations completed, and be inspired to create something using a new technique.

There will be a new project posted each day by all the wonderful amazing ladies in this hop. Also each day we will have a guest designer for you to visit. Lisa, our hostess, will be giving away some wonderful blog candy each day of the hop from the amazing sponsors that we have. Lisa will be posting all the winners from this hop on December 10. Every one has a chance to win including the ladies participating in the hop and even the guest designers and the sponsors. At the end of each post we will have a list of all the sponsors so all you need to do is click on their name to go to their sites and check out all the wonderful sites. We want to thank each of the sponsors for their generosity. It has been greatly appreciated.

Also please leave a love note with each hop crafter and become a fan if you’re not already.

Hi, Crafties, Mama LoveBug here - last year I created a 12 Days of Christmas Count Down and I'm doing the same this year too.  The difference is I have a Cameo, so many of my projects will be cut with this awesome machine, but all will feature images from Digi My World's 12 Days of Christmas.  These are not huge projects, but when you collect them all together at the end, they can be used as table decor for decorating a holiday gathering, office party, or in my case a library display.  By the end of our 12 days I'm betting you'll know this song by heart!!

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
