Connie's Cute Spring Banner ♥

Hello Lovebugs!!
Connie Can Crop

here (finally with my finished banner project) to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!! 

I started these buggy creations weeks ago with the plan to create a cute Spring wreath. But my plans did not work out. Sigh! Instead I turned my frown upside down and created this adorable Springtime Banner using Dahlia Rumple Ribbon from the Southern Sass Collection for my pretty Insect panels. I just love the way this finished banner turned out and hope you do too.

Plus, there is plenty of room on the back of this 5 x 3 inch note card for your message!

My project is a little door knob hanging with the intent of cheering up someone who needs an extra boost.  I'm betting you all know somebody who could use a bit of tender care.  I used a paper piecing from PPbN and fussy cut this little "Mary Poppins" character; then I fussy cut some colorful paper for her umbrella, her hat, scarf, and purse to give a bit of old-fashioned color.  My Star Dust gel pen came out for some fine detailing here and there. plus a few Stickles.  

The sentiment is computer-generated.  I punched a hole at the top of the umbrella and used our LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for the door-knob tie and an extra bow at the base of her paw.

Until the sun comes out

Again for you

My umbrella is

Big enough for two.......

Hey Everyone!!!

Kimi here....

Weren't Mama Lovebug's Projects just too cute? Love em both!

I want to share with you all a card I made! If you didn't know I just got the Cameo on Thursday. It stayed in the box all day (sad I know!) so today I finally got it out! I knew I wanted to use it to make my project for today...What I didn't expect was how difficult it was going to be to do even the simplest thing!

I'm so used to my Cricut Imagine that this was a whole new ball of wax for me!

I spent so much time in the Silhouette store looking at everything and trying to find just the right image to compliment the "Bracketful" Pink by Design Stamp Set that I used (LOVE this set!!!)

So my project isn't what I wanted it to be but I think it's cute! And I know the teams are going to wow you with their projects!
