Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

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 or office party.  By the end of our 12 days I'm betting you'll know this song by heart!!

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

Five golden rings

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

Frolicking With the Friday Frillies!

Good Friday, LoveBug Creations Fans!

Tongue twister for today - Frolicking with the Friday Frillies - say that 5x fast!!

Katie here........Check this out!!  A sweet shower favor.  I found the idea on Pintrest to give nail polish as the favor to guests.

 This favor might be the ONE that doesn't end up in the trash!!  I dressed the polish bottles up with a little cricut poodle and tied her on with some fabulous Simply White rumple ribbon.  Stop on by the blog :)

Happy Friday Lovebug Friends!

Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, here to share with you a Birthday Gift Box featuring a perfect bit of "Caddy Blue" Rumple Ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone, Dorcas here! I recently attended a Dr. Seuss themed birthday party.  I love how this card turned out. Please be sure to visit my blog for more details.

Remember no matter how you rumple your ribbon and piece your paper, have fun with it!!

Down the Rabbit Hole with Fun Footz and Digi My World

Hello Crafties, Mama LoveBug here!  Have you tried designing with Clip Art?  If you don't have time or the inclination to color your digi stamps, but need a fun project for a card, layout, or table decoration/display, why not try a wonderful whimsical image from Digi My World?????  Glitz them up with Stickles, gel pens, etc AND don't forget LoveBug Creations Fun Footz Polka Dot Parade!

“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

This quote is sooooo true for me as anyone who knows me would tell you, I would have never thought I'd delve into papercrafting or art or anything remotely associated with crafting!  Oh how I've enjoyed this adventure down the rabbit hole...........why not start your journey with clipart or digi stamps or paperpiecing.....the experience is out of this world with endless possibilities.  

Since I am employed at our local library after retiring from a 38-year teaching position, I wanted to breathe some excitement, color, and imagination into an old multi-windowed display case.  To this end I've fashioned many double-sided stand-up cards, which are presented there on a rotating basis....out with the old and on with the new (so to speak).  

For me, I like to fussy cut my images - I printed out Alice twice - one as you see and one in a horizontal flip.  I then adhered each print to Kraft cardstock (don't want her to fall over) and fussy cut two more times.  Hey, with a great pair of scissors (CutterBee), it's not a chore! Then as I said above, you can glitz your character any way you want.  Add some LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon and/or our newest product, Fun Footz, patterned ribbon, and you'll be the talk of your crafty set.

Digi My World has so many delightful and unique images to choose from in clip art and in digi stamp formats.  Journey down that rabbit hole for an utterly wonderful treat - you won't be disappointed!

Have a lovely day.........remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it........cyberhugs......Mama LoveBug.

Mama's Little Black Dress & Martha's Sweet Bicycle! ♥

Good Morning, Crafties!  Time to put my new Cameo to work on a wedding project for a friend who needed some celebration favors! The Silhouette Cameo Store has a little black dress party favor that fit the bill.  I cut it out and added LoveBug Creation's Simply White to make bows on the front and back AND I used Mama's Mesh for the dress bodices and the sides of the favor treat box.

Here's what it looks like:

Next here's a picture of the side view.

The third picture is a close-up of both LBC Rumple Ribbon Bow and Mama's Mesh.  Want to see more color choices?  Click HERE

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

and now for Martha's project!!

 

Good morning everyone! I'm here to share this card I made using "Queen Taylor" Rumple Ribbon!

I'd love it if you'd check out my blog!

Thanks for stopping by!
