Hello Lovebuggies Kristi here from Little Paper Sprinkles!

One thing my Dad always told me when using color, think of grey! I was always like Grey? really? 
Well the more and more I designed, either papercrafts, store designs and layouts or any craft in general..I always find grey to be a go to color alot! It really is a great neutral that makes other colors POP!

So today when I was creating this card, I just had to use grey! So I reached for Simply Grey!

For more details on this card visit my blog! :)


So what do you all think? I am really happy with the way this turned out!
Grey...the best neutral color..give it a try! :)

Have a great day! ♥



Use a couple of different pinks give interest to your Rumple Ribbon bow!
The lighter pink is Panther Pink and the darker pink is from a retired collection.
Squeak!  Can't wait to see what new color comes out next!

Hello fellow lovebugs!!
here with a new project to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!!

I know that Christmas is over but this is my last gift I created to share with you.
This one went to one of my closest friends. She collects snowmen and I had to add to her collection.
This was my first attempt at making a glass bulb ornament and I think I see more of these coming next Christmas.
 
 
Doesn't the Winter Wishes Sheer Ribbon from LBC look amazing on this? I love that I had colors of vinyl to go with it! It just brightens up the whole snowman!!

Please stop by my blog to read more details and see more pics of this and other projects using LBC products. Become my follower, join in my monthly challenges or just come hang out at
Happy Crafting and Scrappy Hugs!!

Stephanie's Badge, Katie's Altered Art & Kathy's Card! ♥

It's half-way thru the week!!
YAY!!!
Hopefully you saw our Birthday Celebration for Dorcas
yesterday! If not scroll down to the next post to check it all out!!
Today Stephanie, Katie & Kathy have some wonderful projects to share with you!!!
So sit back and prepare to be inspired!!!

Hey every-buggy"! Happy Hump Day!
My son Ty turns "7" tomorrow (& I am in shock)!! In honor of his big day, I made him a birthday badge to wear.
    I used Simply Red and Simply White rumple ribbons from the "Star Spangled" collection. I am crossing my fingers that he likes this badge! 7 year olds can be picky!!
To see more about this project, visit my blog.
Take care!

How about some altered art for a change of pace???
I joined a swap with a group of gals I haven't 'played' with in quite a while and I really enjoyed this.  The challenge was a few altered pieces - just showing the keys today.  We were to make them chunky and use vintage-y colors.  I really blinged up a couple of Tim Holtz keys and what goes better with vintage-y pretty than Rumple Ribbon???  Video on youtube and detail pics on the blog


Happy Hump Day Lovebug Friends!
 
It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and I 'd like to share with you a cute Thank You card I made featuring some Caddy Blue Rumple Ribbon.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

1st Mama's Mesh Monday of 2014!! ♥

Good Morning, Every-Buggy!!!
It's a new year and our designers are back to show
you some amazing projects using
"Mama's Mesh"
If you are like me you're snowed in...
so what better then to sit back & be inspired????


Stacey
Hi there!
here to show you my project for this week.

When the weather gets cold, I turn to my other favorite pastime (besides papercrafting) and that is reading. I love to read and if I am not at my desk crafting, you can find me buried in a book.

I decided to make myself another bookmark. 

For my project, I used some Hallo-Mesh

You can read more about my project on my blog

I hope you have a fabulous crafty day! 
 
Happy New Year everyone!!!  I still can't believe we are in 2014!  Time seems to fly lately.

The older I get, the more forgetful I become.  I thought it would be a good idea to make myself a little notebook to keep in my purse to jot things down.  I used White Mama's Mesh on this super easy project. Please be sure to visit my blog for more photos and details.


 
Dawn Rene here to share a winter burlap wreath I made with Lovebug Creations White Mama's Mesh. It is very easy to make! For instructions stop by my blog.
