Thanks A Latte

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!
 
Another Monday means the start of another week.  Did you have a good weekend?  Did you find some time to get crafty?  My youngest and I went to a Quilt and Sewing Show at our fairgrounds.  I was in heaven with all the beautiful quilts on display and all the pretty fabrics for sale.  I picked up a few pieces for my "stash" and for a couple of projects.
 
Today is my day to share over at Lovebug Creations.
 
I would like to share with you a cute gift card holder that I made using some Buttercup Rumple Ribbon. 
 

 
Supplies:
Stampin Up! "Baked Brown Sugar" cardstock
patterned cardstock from my stash
My Creative Time "Gift Card Die"
PPPR "Java Great Day" cutting file
Jaded Blossom "Java Time" and "Craft On" stamp sets
Stampin Up! "Chocolate Chip" ink pad
 
 
Have a Great week and Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Spring!

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!
 
Welcome back to my little space in bloggy land :)  I've had quite a busy and crafty past week.  My kids and I spent a few days with the Grandparents.  I call it Camp Grandma and Grandpa.  My mom taught me a lot of quilting basics and helpful techniques, my son worked on his remote controlled car with Grandpa, my niece and my youngest played dolls and made lots of loom band bracelets, and my sister-in-law worked on making shaker cards. 
 
I've got a fun hangover, but it's my day to share over at the Lovebug Creations blog and I have a Spring card featuring some of their new Buttercup Rumple Ribbon.
 

 
Details:
The eggs were cut using the die from the My Creative Time "Hello Spring" stamp and die set.
The sentiment is from the same set.
I made the background paper by stamping the sentiment randomly all over the green cardstock using a Versamark ink pad.
The finishing touch is a bit of "Buttercup" Rumple Ribbon tied in a pretty bow.
 
 
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Spring is a time for Easter and Mother's Day events but it also signals weddings, graduations, family reunions, and more.  LoveBug Creations has some new awesome products to unveil today for your spring celebrations.

  So do you want to add something special to your handmade projects?? If so, consider these new springtime collections for your crafting arsenal of rumple ribbon delights:
 

 
And for something different, we are releasing the beautiful Mama's Roses.  
Each rose is hand-formed and hand-dyed; each has dimensions of  2"x 2" and can be used as is or inked, painted, stickled, and more - your imagination can provide lots of possibilities for these beauties - and they are feather-light so you can create lots of projects from layouts to cards to tags to mixed media creations to 3-D creations and more and not feel there's an anchor on your project, weighing it down!

 
And if that isn't enough... We've got 4 NEW Mama's Mesh Colors: Kraft, Ivory, Light Blue & Light Pink!!!
Also Mama's Mesh is now being offered to buy by the yard as opposed to in collections!
 
 
So settle back as we take you on a tour of spring celebrations and invite you to visit our LBC ONLINE STORE

For my project I am sharing a couple of Spring Shaker Cards


I made this Spring Garden card.


This Hello Spring Chickie card was made by my sister-in-law.  Didn't she do a great job?!  We are visiting for Spring Break and I taught here how I make mine.  So far she's made 3!!



Spring Garden Card Details:
All the images are from the Paper Smooches "Green Thumb" stamp set, and were colored with Copics.
I used some pretty "Blue Bells" Rumple Ribbon tied in a cute bow on the front.


The Spring Chickie card is showcasing some of the pretty "Buttercup" Rumple Ribbon.

 
How about some delicious LBC Bog Candy?!
