I used LBC's Rumple Ribbon to create a piano hinge card.

What fun colors to celebrate a friend!

Treat Yourself to the Spring Rainbow collection.

The colors will lift your spirits during the long winter months!

Connie

Hello fellow lovebugs!!

Connie Can Crop 

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

I really enjoyed creating this fun candle for a friend of mine. She has a therapy dog named Daltrey and he is a Labradoodle. He is such a character.

 

 

The LBC Halloween Grunge Rumple Ribbon was the perfect color combination for the colors of vinyl I used. I added a pretty flower and pearl on the lid to finish it off. I think it turned out pretty awesome. Don't you?

 

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

Connie Can Crop.

Happy Crafting and Scrappy Hugs!!


Kristi

Hello Lovebuggies! Kristi here again from Little Paper Sprinkles.

for my card today I used Mama's Mesh, let me say its fantastic!! Just adds a great texture to any project!

To create this cutie I started with a2 card base, added some stitching with stamps. Cut out the sewing machine from the Silhouette Store. I used Peachy Keen stamps Happy Lashes for face, added some MAMA's Mesh in white to background, a few more embellishments and done! So fun and cute!

Sweet Booing to You - Mama LoveBug Style

Spooky this and scary that to you, Crafties!  It's only two more days until Halloween so have you been busy creating some treasures for your little ones?  Sometimes it's better to err on the side of sweetness for a Halloween surprise rather than the more gruesome styles, especially for tender tinies!  With that in mind I'm sharing a simple table decoration for a children's party that won't frighten but hopefully will delight young eyes!

My digi image is from Jessica Weible Illustrations and I added some extra embellies for sweet booing:

*gel pen for accenting

*Halloween stickers for dimples and sentiment

*Goosebumps Shimmer Spray

*LoveBug Creations Halloween Grunge Rumple Ribbon HERE

Don't forget to mark November 2 (this Saturday) on your crafty calendar - LBC will be revealing some more great rumple products and a few surprises in our Have a Meshy Rumple Christmas Hop...........remember no matter how you rumple your ribbon and piece your paper, have fun with it..........cyberbooing.........Mama LoveBug

Katie + Kathy + Stephanie = Friday Fun!!!! ♥

Happy Friday, Every-Buggy!!!

It's my favorite day of the week

(hehehe...Weekend here we come!)

And it also means 3 very talented CT Members

are sharing some inspiration with you!!!

Could it get any better?

I don't think so!!!!

 

Katie

I had an order from the office to make a few invites.  The request was fall feeling, must fit in a standard envelope with only one stamp.  Well, nuts!  That sure limits me these days!

However, that perfect Rumple Ribbon is so USPS friendly, I knew I would be using some on my card.

However, I didn't know I would love this sunset color so much I would use EVERY single scrap Kimi sent me in my Creative Team package.

For details on what I did to showcase this image visit the blog.

 

 

Kathy

Happy Friday LoveBug Friends!

 

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I am sharing with you a simple card featuring "Simply Black" Rumple Ribbon.

 

Sometimes I tend to over-think things and then I realize that simple is okay too :)

 

Have a great Friday and Thanks for stopping by!

Stephanie
Hi Lovebug friends!!
Stephanie here to share my project this week using Lovebug Creations' rumple ribbon. And guess what-it's not a card!!
I saw this idea on Pinterest using fall leaves. While I didn't have any silk leaves around the house, I did have these spooky looking feathers and thought they would make a great Halloween/Fall home decor project!

  I used Halloween Grunge rumple ribbon in orange and Edgy Halloween rumple ribbon in black to add that special touch to the mason jar. I lit a tealight candle and got a perfect, eerie glow from my project!
You can see more about this altered jar on my blog.
Thanks for letting me share with you all today! Make it a great Friday!---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halloween's Almost Upon Us - LBC Halloween Grunge

Yes, Halloween's in 11 days - the time has come for me to get on my witch's broom and make some spirited cards for my little goblins and ghosties.  

Good Sunday to you crafties.  It's Mama LoveBug here with two of my Halloween criss-cross cards.

Before I share these I'd like to tell you how sad I am to report what I heard on a recent visit to JoAnn's.  I absolutely love the Kathy Davis collection and I thought I'd take advantage of a coupon to get another paper stack. While I definitely got my KD fix, I noticed the entire collection which included a vast array of extras - buttons, brads, borders, mini-clips, etc was on 50% clearance.  Yay, I thought. This is super, so I stocked up.  When I went to the checkout I casually mentioned that I'm a fan and wondered when the next collection would be in the store.  The gal said that JoAnn's is discontinuing its line of Kathy Davis products.  The next day my daughter went to the same store and saw the KD products were up to 70% off.  It never fails - I find a super product and then it goes away!! That's my lament!

Oh well, here's what I designed today - 2 pieces of 12 x 12 paper did the trick on the swap out of paper - 2 cards that are similar yet different with contrasting colored Halloween Grunge found HERE

Recipe

*Halloween DCWV paper - super nice weight for this card style

*Jaded Blossom tag dies

*Butterfly Punch - EK

*LoveBug Creations Halloween Grunge 

Remember no matter how you rumple your ribbon and piece your paper, have fun with it...........cyberwitching.........Mama LoveBug

Dorcas, Stacey & Dawn Rene = WOW!!!! ♥

So sit back and enjoy these fabulous projects!!!

Dorcas

Hi everyone,

I needed to make a large group of Thank You cards.  I searched my favorite blogs and got inspiration from THIS post on Becky Roberts' blog.  I made several varieties of this card using different rumple ribbons and varying the cardstock. Please visit My Blog to see them all.

Dawn Rene here to share a DIY Halloween wreath made with Lovebug Creations rumpled ribbon. I absolutely LOVE the Edgy Halloween collection - this was the perfect opportunity to use it!

I purchased a double ring wire base from Michael's with a 40% coupon . I cut about 14 yards of ribbon into 4-5 inch pieces. Then I tied them all on the wreath. I painted a spider web chippie black, sprayed it with shimmer mist, and then attached it with some fiber. I also used fiber on top to hang it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi crafty friends!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner

here to show you my project for this week.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month,

I decided to make a little gift to serve as a little reminder to 

either get checked or do a self exam for one of my friends.

I used some of the very beautiful 

Princess Party Pink Rumple Ribbon 

on my project.

A package of pink tic tacs slides out of my little holder.

Don't forget about the monthly challenge going on over at the

Lovebug Lounge FB group!

Happy Fall, Ya'll - Mama LoveBug Style

Good Tuesday to you crafties!  It's Mama LoveBug with a fall center step card today.

Fall is such a warm and cozy time with rich shades of colors to play with - yummy oranges, yellows, reds, browns, greens, and various other non-traditional autumn hues; it also screams out for some grunge and that's what I designed for you today.

I cut this out on my Cameo and used a delightful crow image from an old file I had from PPbN - lots of crows, pumpkins, and apple baskets in that one. I put a row of black pearls on the front part of the step.  The center panel image has some gel glitter pen accents. The other embellies were pumpkin and leaf stickers plus a grungy bow for the basket made from the LBC Halloween Grunge collection see online store for more details - just the right color to spice up the card.

Happy Fall, Ya'll.........remember no matter how you rumple your ribbon and piece your paper, have fun with it........cyberfall......Mama LoveBug.
