For my projects - I made a table favor and a grillin card.

Table Favor 
*Printed art from Trina Clark (ants, hot dogs, and fixings) - fussy cut 2x for front and back and highlighted with gel pens
*LoveBug Creations Fun Footz (a patterned ribbon collection) - if you look closely you'll see I punched holes in the mustard and ketchup and threaded some LBC Rumple Ribbon too - LBC Online Store
*Die cut using Kraft paper for the sentiment - Picnic Time

 Grillin' Card
*First of all you may be wondering - a card at a picnic party?  Is it an invitation - could be, but my idea was to take pictures of the guests and give each one a memento of the occasion, which in my case is a double-b-day grillin' party for my husband and grand-daughter!
*Print art from Trina Clark (ants, hamburger, and fixings)
*LoveBug Creations Fun Footz - 2 bows (a patterned ribbon collection)
*Mister Huey Mask and Sprays for this triple-layered card
*Inside the card I made a pocket so a picture can be enclosed

I wish you a special grillin' event in your summer life!!

Have you ever bought crafting supplies with the greatest intentions of actually using them?  Well, I have a mountain of stuff that’s just waiting for me to crack open the packing and dive right in.

With that confession, I decided to design a Christmas card with some things I've never used and with non-traditional colors as well as traditional elements.  

I cut and embossed two different blue cardstock pieces; next I used the beveled window pane and snowflakes to create a snowman stamped and colored image peeking out of the card.  This was my first attempt with this idea:

*SU Snow Much Fun Stamp - stamped and colored w/SU markers

*SU beveled window pane and snowflakes

*SU 1 ¾ “ punch

*SU cardstock – 2 shades of blue

*SU finial press embossing folder

*LBC Fun Footz - Polka Dot Parade  HERE

*LBC Rumple Ribbon – Simply Red

*LBC Mama’s Mesh – Ocean Blue

*Glitter gems – red, white, blue

*Banner punch and SU sentiment – Holiday Wishes Peace, Joy, Love

*Inside sentiment – hope your Christmas is snow much fun

Hi friends!

It's Wednesday again and my turn to show off my favorite Rumple Ribbons.  Today, I bring you "Phyllis", a gorgeous hue of orange that is both romantic and cheerful.  I used her on a name tag.  Isn't she just lovely?

No matter what the disagreement is, my siblings and I will OWL-WAYS love each other.  I just feel bad that my little brother won't be able to join in the festivities!

I need to get all my ducks in order for the big celebration!

Dawn Rene's Gorgeous Over-Sized Tag ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here with you today to share an over-sized tag I made with Rumple Ribbons, the new Fun Footz, and a Julie Nutting mixed media doll stamp. 

I used the Betsy Ross Blue ribbon to create the ruffle on the bottom of her dress and for the very small bow in her hair. I tied one of the new Fun Footz on top of the tag - the green chevron from the Poolside collection - along with the Lemonade rumpled ribbon. I love the blue, yellow and green colors together!

P.S. Lovebug Creations currently has an open creative team call! Check out the details here.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week.....
