Hi crafty friends!

A very dear friend lost her mom last week and I decided to make her a beautiful card.  I used black rumple ribbon and left it rumpled up.  Sometimes I iron it out to make it more smooth, but this time I wanted the effect to be loose.  I hope you enjoy.  Visit my Blog for more details on the supplies.

Sweet Birthday Card by Zeni ♥

Good morning! Zeni here finally making an appearance! Lol.  I've been very busy trying to put my party decoration business together, but I haven't forgotten about my favorite Love-buggers!

I made this card this past weekend for a friend of mine and I just loved how simple it is, but yet so pretty so I figured why not show it to you guys!

Monday's Are Fabulous w/ Ellen, Connie and Dawn Mercedes!!! ♥

It's Monday and you know what that means...

time to sit back and be inspired by

Ellen, Connie and Dawn Mercedes!!!

 

First up is Ellen

Ellen (CardMonkey) has blogged before about how she likes to take cards that are part of a pre-designed kit, and make them special.  Today, she shows another that she's dressed up with Lovebug Creations' Rumple Ribbon.

"As was once said in an advertisement, things go better with ...." ... Rumple Ribbons, Ellen says in her post. Go to her blog to read more about stimulating your mojo with kits, and also about a fun and unique CardMonkey CardStock Club she's founded. 

The sunflower Rumple Ribbon makes this card, don't you think?  Everything else is kit-designed from Jillibean Soup's Card Kitchen, using papers this month from Jenni Bowlin Studio.

Dawn Mercedes' Magnificent Mason Jar & Dorcas' Special Gift For Sister ♥

 

 

Want to upcycle a little decor piece for your home?  Click on over to my blog for all the details on how to tint a mason jar!  Here I used Sunset Rumple Ribbon.  My first favorite. Good thing I let my self have many, many favorites!!

Now, do I fill this with candy corn...or sun flowers?

 

 

And now for Dorcas' Project

My oldest sister is a big Donny & Marie fan.  In fact, seeing them is on her bucket list.  She lives in Tennessee so we don't see her as often as we'd like, BUT, Donny  & Marie are coming to Miami in December so we got her tickets to see them.  Well, we are all going together.  :)  Since we are going to spend time with her this weekend, I created a mini bucket for her with the seating chart showing the FLOOR seats we purchased.  Using Sunflower rumple ribbon was a perfect contrast to the red cellophane bag.  I think she's going to love this.

 

 

Dawn Rene's Beautiful Birthday Card ♥

Good morning friends. 

Baby showers are always fun to plan. This month, I am helping out with a good friend/family member's baby shower in California. It's a Party in a Box. I used Simply White rumple ribbon to close up these cute paper bags that will hold treats.

Dawn Rene's Beautiful Tea Lights & A Winner!!! ♥

 

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here to share with you my Lovebug Creations project for the week. I created three decorative tea light candle holders.

Then I decorated each one with coordinating rumpled ribbons, of course! I used the colors - Ballet Slipper, Sunflower, and "On The Edge" Ocean View - which you can buy here. Have a great week!
