Just a Little Something

Dorcas - February 27

Hi friends,

I wanted to share with you a quick card using the beautiful, bright and bold Caddy Blue rumple ribbon.  I LOOOOOOVE this color.  It's happy, isn't it?  

The ribbon is used to break up the green and to add a pop of color.  This was a super quick card that I made with scraps over the weekend.  I think it's perfect as a gift for any occasion.

Make sure you stop in at Lovebug Creations to get yours today!

Supplies:
Caddy Blue Rumple Ribbon
Card Base: Stampin Up
Patterned Paper:  We R Memory Keepers Love Struck (I LOVE this set)
Twine - Liz's paper loft

Lovebug Creations Sneak Peek

UPDATE: 3/18/13 **Decided to enter this in an MCT challenge!!*

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to be bringing you a sneak peek of some fabulous NEW rumple ribbon colors available at Lovebug Creations starting on February 24th.  This rumple ribbon is Butterfly Blue.  I love it because the blue coordinates with many hues on the blue palette.  Well, and because the name is just sweet!

This little treat holder is full of jelly beans and a great treat for Easter for the kids!  I wish I could take credit for the treat holder, but I learned it from Inking Idaho quite some time ago.  Becky really has some amazing ideas. I love visiting her blog for inspiration.

The Patterned Paper in the background is Reminisce - Happy Easter.  The eggs are from the same collection.
I used MCT Happy Spring stamp and die set for the sentiment and the egg dies.  

I confess that I could have probably done a better job of putting the little box together.
I cut the tabs on the wrong side.  

You all know I love Stickles.  This one is True Blue and I used it to accent.
The ink is Stampin Up Island Indigo.  

NEWSFLASH!!!!  
There is some awesome Blog Candy for this sneak peek week.  Please be sure to comment on each designer's post each day of the week.  

Make sure you join us on Saturday and Sunday, February 23-24 for the March Holidays blog hop.  This blog hop is going to be amazing!  I am still in awe of the ladies who I get to work with.  Seriously.

Blog Candy winners for the sneak peek week as well as the blog hop will be announced on February 25th (Monday).

Sweet Sixteen Invitations

Hi Friends, 

My sister-in-law asked me to help her make some invitations for her goddaughter's sweet sixteens.  Well...first of all, how did she become 16 already?  Seems like only yesterday she was toddling her way down the aisle at my brother's wedding?  Ugh...guess time goes on, right?  

Well, she didn't want anything complicated, but she did want Glitter and Flat.  So...I came up with a simple, flat, glittery invitation for her.  Obviously I manipulated the image to protect their privacy, but you still get the general feel.  I like it.  What do you think?
