Hey Lovebug friends!

I have a Valentine project to share today that I made for my son.

The hearts are hand-cut & I added rumple ribbon in "Butterfly Blue" which is now retired, but check out the other amazing colors in the store. This little Valentine is filled with "love notes" to Ty. You can read more about it on my blog.

Have a great Wednesday!

Katie

Here is a card I made for my first Marie Antoinette swap. I just love how the I Love Grunge perfectly coordinates with all things Marie!! Please come by the blog for a closer look

Mama's Mesh Monday W/ Dawn Rene & Stacey ♥

Happy Mama's Mesh Monday!!!
Hope your weekend went well!!!
Dawn Rene & Stacey are here today to share some gorgeousness with you!
So sit back and be inspired!!!

Dawn Rene

Hello! Dawn Rene here to share another Julie Nutting Mixed Media doll tag. I promise this will be the last one for a while! I used FOUR different Lovebug Creations products on this tag.

I stamped the Prima doll stamp with black ink and colored her body with Copic markers. Her clothes, shoes, and hair band are paper pieced with BoBunny papers. She has a Lovebug Creations Beautiful Blooms in her hair! I made a multi-layer butterfly with a Sizzix die - the top layer is Mama's Mesh. The sheer ribbon and rumple ribbon adorn the top of the tag!

Stacey

Happy Mama's Mesh Monday!!

Stacey here to show you my project that uses that awesome Mama's Mesh!

With Valentine's Day just a few days away, I have a clean and simple card that packs a punch with

the help of Mama's Merry Mesh!

Mama LoveBug here -This is a one-day hop to explore the creativity of using Hello Kitty in various ways, but do you know much about Hello Kitty? Sanrio, a Japanese company, launched the first Hello Kitty product, a coin purse, in 1974 as a marketing tool to promote interest for the image. Today Hello Kitty is on a huge number of products, videos, games, etc. She does not have a mouth because the concept was to allow the user to project a happy or sad feeling through friendship. Also, did you know the original Hello Kitty had blue as her dominant dress color?

She has been a UNICEF ambassador to the United States since 1983 and to Japan since 1994. Then, in 2008, she was appointed as the official Japanese ambassador of tourism to both Hong Kong and China, the first fictional character to hold this title. Wow, who knew?!

I made a Hello Kitty Perpetual Calendar - the inside has 12 sheets (one for each month) that allow one to record important events by the month and day; there's also a back cover. This is perfect for keeping track of birthdays and anniversaries and not to have to recopy dates onto a new calendar.

I used LoveBug Creations NEW Simply Sheer (Loves Me Loves Me Knot) for HK's bow.

Next I took one of the LoveBug Creations NEW Beautiful Blooms (white) and sprayed it with some pink highlights for interesting detailing - you can also use ink for a distressed look, but my HK is bright and cheery so I went with the spray!

Happy Wed. every-buggy!!!!

How's the weather where you are?

Here in Ohio its snow, snow & more snow!
So to fight the winter blues Kathy, Stephanie & Katie

are sharing some lovely projects!

So sit back & be inspired!!!

Kathy

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and I'm here to share with a Valentine's Day card featuring some newly released "I Love Grunge" Rumple Ribbon.

I am in love with the new grunge ribbon! I love the color changes it has and how it matches my pink cardstock :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Stephanie

Hey y'all! It's Stephanie here to share my latest card.

Valentine's days is just around the corner, and at this time of year, more than any other, I really like to give homemade cards & gifts. I think it shows just how much you care about someone when you create something just for them!

So here is the first of my Valentine's Day cards:

I used the new rumple ribbon "Hugs" from the Loves Me...Loves Me Knot collection. What a versatile color! I also made a coordinating envelope to go along with my card. You can see more about it on my blog.

Thanks for letting me share with you today!

Katie

Today I have made a present of my beautiful Rumple Ribbon and wrapped them around printable ribbon cards I found on Pinterest. Then I knotted the top with Hugs sheer ribbon. I wanted a special treat for the ladies in my new swapping group, hope they love Rumple Ribbon as much as I do!
If you would like the link to the video and some more detailed shots, please hop over to the blog.

Hi there!

Stacey here to show you a fun and bright little card.

I'm sure everyone is looking forward to spring and warmer temps so I thought the fun bright colors on this card might brighten someone's day. I made another Mama's Mesh flower (I love making these) and topped off my card with some of that gorgeous Rumple Ribbon.

Dawn Rene

Dawn Rene here today to share another Julie Nutting doll stamp tag! This doll tag is decorated with Lovebug Creations - Mama's Mesh and Rumple Ribbon. The Simply Black rumple ribbon is from the Just the Basic Collection. The other beautiful pink rumple ribbon is from a specialty collection they no longer sell - but they have fabulous new Specialty Collections that you need to check out!
