1 Mini & 1 Not-So-Mini

Albums that is!

 Hey Lovebugs! Pick up your jaw! It's Kimi (yes again!) 2 times in less than a week! Who knew such a thing could happen? ;)

 

Today I am here to share with you the albums I made for my dear friend Zeni! I started both albums well over a year ago and yes it's taken me this long to finish them! Strange as I used to do an album in a few days.

These were both inspired by her European vacation. I figured she could use them to hold the oodles of photos she took!

I used the following products to make these:

 Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon/Mama's Mesh in multiple colors

Colorbok Antique Paperie Papers & Embellies

Pearls/lace from stash

Kraft Cardstock from Recollections

Lots of Redline Tape & Dimensionals

Prima flowers

Tim Holtz Stamps

3 gypsies Stamps

Charms from stash

Envelopes from stash

 

Below is the video for the Mini Album

(This one was made using a tutorial on youtube but I can not for the life of me remember who it was that did it! If you know or it was you PLEASE let me know so I can give credit!!!)

and next up is the Not-So-Mini

This albums construction is an Envelope album with the Stack the Deck binding by Laura Denison (FollowThePaperTrail)

 

I hope you enjoy these Minis and they inspire you to create one for yourself!!!

 

Have a great day lovies!!!

Big Bug Hugs,

Kimi

 

 

Gotcha - Tanya - Surprise ♥

Welcome Every Buggie and Surprise to Tanya!!

Tomorrow is the birthday of our CT Tanya, who told us she did not want any fuss made for this occasion.  Well, we told her “sure, no fuss”!!  Wrong………how could we not do something to surprise her on her big day, but we thought it would be an even bigger surprise to design some projects just for her and post them the day before………..hope we really “got her” and she enjoys our craftiness.

Tanya is the guru of so many papercrafting things, but the one that really stands out to me (Mama LoveBug) is her flower making – stellar and stunning!  If you have ever seen her work, I know you’d agree………AND not only is she a gifted crafter but a super-duper friend and a truly wonderful person........so here’s to Tanya………may you have a dynamite birthday tomorrow……….we love ya!!

I made you something (and this card matches along with it!)

BUT...

I am NOT posting it until I know you have it in your hot lil hands...

and I REALLY want to post it...

So keep your eye out for your package and let me know when it's there so I can!!! ♥

 

We hope you have an extra special birthday because you are extra special to us!!!

Good morning Lovebuggers! :) (I just love saying that!) Martha and I here again taking over the blog once again. Take a look at our cards below using some gorgeous rumple ribbon.

For my project I made a simple sympathy card. I know these aren't very fun to make, but I wanted it to look pretty and send some encouraging words to a family who lost their dad.

I used Simply Black and Simply White Rumple Ribbon from the Just the Basics collection which will be released soon. There will be one more color added to this collection so stay tuned for more updates on the new release! :) For more information you can visit my blog.

Zeni & Martha's Beautiful Card Takeover ♥

Good morning everyone! Today it's Zeni and Martha taking over the blog.

Here's Zeni's project:

I made this card for a friend who needed a little lift me up. I really LOVE the color combination of "Eyes of Blue" Rumple Ribbon and the "On the Edge Lemonade" collection. It went absolutely perfect for this color scheme. The cute little angel pin was made by my friend Ana Garcia. You can see additional details on my blog.

and now Martha's project:

Hey Everyone :)

Hope you are all having a great Friday!

Today's card started as Clean and Simple, but I dont know how to do clean and simple hehe.

I used lace and a handmade flower

Sentiment is from Unity and of course Rumple Ribbon to finish off the card :)
Please swing by my blog for more details!
