Hi - I'm Mama LoveBug and Let's Celebrate was the theme I used for this Black Tie Affair Blog Hop. This theme covers many events such as weddings, formal dances, showers, retirement or promotion party, reunions, and the arrival of a new baby to name a few.

I decided to make a banner for these types of celebrations and used one of my favorite Julie Nutting Doll Stamps as the focal point.  I started with some beautiful pink paper from my stash to cover the banner form and added several sentiments and several handmade flowers as well as a few pearl embellies on the doll's formal.  I finished off the project with a beautiful heart ribbon, which functioned as the hanger for the banner.

Here are several pictures to give you an idea of things to employ if you wish to make such a banner to celebrate a "classy" occasion in your life.


A few points on the doll - I stamped her body once, her hair once, and her dress twice.  I fussy cut the pieces and then assembled them by adhering each to the body.  Next I adhered the doll to a piece of cardboard to give her stability.  I then took pearl accents and placed them down the dress (pink) and across the bodice (white) for sparkle and dimension.  Her hair has a coat of glossy accent for more shine.




A few points on the handmade flowers - these were from a stamp/die set from Heartfelt Creations.  I stamped, cut out with the matching die, shaped the flower petals, glued them together to form the flowers, and added a spot of pearl glue in the center.




 Up next is JANET

Here's our line up in case you get lost.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas! 

I fashioned my project using multiple strips of 1/2" x 12" paper to create the base for a Christmas ornament. I used an ornament diecut for the top of the base, a Mrs Santa digital stamp, Graphic 45 paper for the strips, some flowers, a festive sentiment, LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for the tie, and scraps of Ohio State paper (I'm a Buckeye) to make a unique tree hanging.  Here's some pictures of the project:



I had so much fun putting this together that I thought - why not do a couple more using Julie Nutting doll stamps as the focal image - one 3-D with lots of fussy cutting and paper piecing and the other stamped and colored with watercolor pencils.



Christmas Blessings from my home to yours!!

 Up next is Theresa

Here's our Jolly line up in case you get lost.
