The Best Layout w/ Stephanie ♥

 

Hey Lovebug friends! Stephanie here today. I hope this post finds you all well & enjoying the last Tuesday of July!!
I have a layout to share today that was inspired by this layout on Pinterest:

.

I  have used Dahlia from the Southern Sass collection for the bow tied around my picture. I also used 4 Beautiful Blooms-2 white (one small & one medium sized), a medium sized one in Kisses, and a medium sized one in Envious. 

I just adore these clay flowers! I know I have said it before but I will say it again-they are so versatile & fun to add to any project!!

You can read more about my layout on my blog.

Thanks for letting me share with you!

Stay crafty, friends!

  

 

 

Card Kit w/ Katie ♥

Have you tried these card kits yet??? You can find them on HSN and HOLY COW!!!! They make the nicest, most detailed cards in literally minutes! Now, the kits include perefctly coordinated little bows, but I have to confess, I prefer my Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations. I like to wrap around a card and often like the knot as opposed to a bow. You might see a few more of these in the next few posts because I just LOVE how quickly they come together. This Garden Window set is perfectly matched to the Spring Collection from Lovebug Creations!

 

Connie's Cute Spring Banner ♥

Hello Lovebugs!!
Connie Can Crop

here (finally with my finished banner project) to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!! 

I started these buggy creations weeks ago with the plan to create a cute Spring wreath. But my plans did not work out. Sigh! Instead I turned my frown upside down and created this adorable Springtime Banner using Dahlia Rumple Ribbon from the Southern Sass Collection for my pretty Insect panels. I just love the way this finished banner turned out and hope you do too.

Kathy & Dorcas Cheer Us Up ♥

Happy Monday Lovebug Friends!

 

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and I'd like to share with you a card that I made using the new "Dahlia" Rumple Ribbon.

 

I spent yesterday going through my card stash, and making more "uplifting" cards to send to a friend for her church project.  This is one of the cards that I made.  I hope it brings a smile to someone :)

 

 

Please stop on by my blog for all the details.

 

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends. It's Teacher Appreciation time. The school's PTA asked that I help with their gifts. This cute tag was made using Harvest Moon rumple ribbon. I love the bright color.

Kimi's Super Surprise Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to KIMI’S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!

We at LoveBug Creations are super excited to share Kimi's special day with you! Since we are mother-daughters and we share this blog, it's been rather a challenge to keep this quiet, but hopefully we've surprised you..........so Happy Birthday, Sweetie, and Little Sis!!

First of all we want to say thank you to the CT and Guests for participating in this!  Here's the line-up of talented "buggies" who are showcasing their affection for Miss Birthday Girl:

Pam and Missy – http://lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com/ HERE

I (Missy) bet you are picking yourself up the floor with such a shock - me crafting!  Yes, I did and I absolutely had the best time using the newest Rumple Ribbon collections to make you a twisted rumple ribbon bracelet - love the colors and love you!

Aren't those colors gorgeous!! Great job, Missy!!

Well, Kim, another year older and yet I (Mama LoveBug) remain the same - 39 so you must have been born when I was 8.......hummmm, well, maybe that's not quite right!?!  I can still remember you as a child screaming at strangers and hating to get your hair washed; pointing out "people in buggies" as we traveled to Ft Wayne; being sad when your sisters told you were adopted (which wasn't true) as they showed you the birth certificate of a Cabbage Patch doll (hey, you couldn't read yet so you didn't know they were messing with you); and begging GG to open just one more present at Christmas time when you were supposed to be in bed, waiting for Santa to drop by! And what about the time you did something unmentionable at the dinner table when Jennifer had her first boyfriend as a guest.........ah yes, there are so many memories of you growing up - Daisy Scouts, Synchronized Swimming, Lightshines, the saxophone, and cheerleading.  You've grown into a wonderful daughter, wife, and mother.  We are blessed to have you in our lives!

I (Mama LoveBug) know you are a very loyal Hicksville Ace's Fan so I made you a paper brooch to wear at the kids' events - can you spot the LoveBug Creations White Simply Sheer?

Next, I spent a lot of time viewing tutorials to learn to make a 3-D paper armoire - can you spot Mama's Mesh and our new Dahlia rumple ribbon? Like the faux drawer and the handmade buttons?

And what's an armoire without a tag - the new greeting card for the b-day gal? Do you see the new Blue Bells rumple ribbon too?

You are truly Queen for the Day!!

We hope you like your gifts!

Happy Birthday - there will be paddlings with the cheeseboard later and potato soup to make it better!!.....LOL

Bye from Missy and Mama!
