Hey there! This is Dawn from Sunnyside Up...

to show you how Lovebug Creations' rumple ribbon

is as sweet as can be 

 is during the autumn season!

Keep your eye on the blue, blue skies of autumn before the snow/rain/sleet/ grey start up!

But don't worry..there is also Simply Grey Rumple Ribbon for those days too!

Thanks dropping by today!

Enjoy your weekend!

 

Dawn Mercedes' Throwback Friday ♥

A little throw back post to get your revved up for the fall holidays!!  Whether you enjoy apples or pumpkins, Lovebug Creations will spice up your autumn crafts!

Sunny September days...are perfect for apple picking or

reading a book!

This sunny Lemonade Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations 

makes a great statement!

Using a sewing tool, I perforated one side to create a

bookmark that can be easily torn off and used!

Then comes the cool October nights...

do you have your boo-ing plans set up?  

Use Mama's Mesh to create all sorts of shapes.

Add interest by shading in the edges with daubers and ink!

Thanks for checking in on today's Throwback Post!

I hope these reminders will jog your mojo!

For more inspiration, please amble over to my blog,

Dawn Mercedes Is Mixing It Up!!! ♥

Let Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations 

be the focal point on your card

by creating a large rumple bow!

Using two very different colors makes a bold statement.

I used Sunset and Purple-dise.

Use similar colors to make a softer statement.

A fun, flirty, fabulous focal point!

Now, that makes ME happy!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Be sure to check out the Mama's Mesh 

and Beautiful Blooms today too!

After that, come see what I am doing on my blog,

Dawn Mercedes Sweet Teacher's Gift ♥

 

While you are back to school shopping, be sure to check out 

Lovebug Creations' store for your crafty time...for when the kids are in school!!

Here I used a few inches of Mama's Mesh to embellish half a dozen pencils.

After using Removable Glue Dots ® to secure the Mesh, I wrapped it with this vibrant blue Rumple Ribbon, called Ocean's View.  With so many colors to choose from, be sure to get a rainbow for your decorating/gift giving needs!

Add a tag with a cheery note, and you have a memorable first day of school for a teacher gift,

a welcome back to home work for a student gift,

OR...a I think you are adorable gift for a friend who needs a pick me up!

Happy Summer w/ Dawn Mercedes ♥

Dawn Mercedes here...from Sunnyside Up!

 It's summer time...and time to have some watery, wavy fun with 

Lovebug Creations' very unique..Mama's Mesh!

Did you know that there are 15 different colors you can buy?

You don't have to keep it straight for your crafting projects.

Here, I cut a wave into it. 

I flipped the small section to the bottom...

sponged both the top edge and the bottom edge with a blue ink.

Glue Dots ® are a great way to secure this mesh ribbon!

Summer Reading with Dawn Mercedes ♥

This is Dawn Mercedes, from Sunnyside Up.

I have an "easy as pie" and "cute as a dumpling craft" for you 

summer readers!  

A Rumple Ribbon Bookmark!

Simply take two pieces of  rumple ribbon from Lovebug Creations and one piece of elastic cording.

They need to be 4-5 inches long.

Slip knot them around a colored, plastic coated paperclip.

(The plastic coating is easy on your book pages.)

Tug on that knot!

Then I used a Advanced Strength Glue Dot®

to secure a rhinestone. The bling adds a bit of pizzaz as well as keeps your  knot in place.

Rumple Ribbon colors used:

Sunset, Lemonade, Blue Bells, Ocean View

Next, slip it into your summer reading delight!

Now, I'm done with this book...Book three in the series. 

Book four is waiting for me at the library as I type this!!

(Squeal!)

What is on your summer reading list this season??

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  

 

Chill Out With Dawn Mercedes ♥

While you are out roasting hotdogs, burgers, and marshmellows,

get your cool on with some of Lovebug Creations' Wintery Rumple Ribbon!

I used two coordinating Rumple Ribbon to make a double ruffle

for the side of my focal point!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out this icy inspiration!

I hope every one has a very happy, very safe, and very

memorable 4th of July!

Check out my blog, Sunnyside Up, for more ideas using 

Lovebug Creations' products!

 

 

Fun Lil Notepad w/ Dawn Mercedes ♥

Do you have a sweet neice?  

I sure do! 

Lately, this 4 year old with Skype with me...for an hour (or two) at a time.

Usually, it's sort of show and tell...or story telling...or questions.

I have learned more about her likes and personality as she lives in FL and I am in MI.

You just gotta love, love, love technology...

So, after a long conversation yesterday, here is what I learned...

Lily Loves blue and pink.

She likes Zebras.

She is a crafter.

She is organized.

She loves envelopes.

So...

Here is what I created for her.

A medium sized note pad...pink and blue and zebra striped.

She can doodle, write letters, use it to take food orders,

cut, stick, fold...you name it.

Paper can do anything!!

Here I used Panther Pink Rumple Ribbon, along with retired Zebra printed Fun Footz

to embellish this peronalized notepad.

So now, the next time Lily calls me on Skype, I will have sometihng to show...

and then mail her!
