Lovebug Creations & Pink by Design Spring Blog Co-Hop!

I'm so excited!  The blog hop day is here!!!!

Today I am thrilled to be pairing up with Lovebug Creations and Pink by Design.  A little bit of housekeeping first.  You know how it goes.  Please join us from the beginning so that you can hop along and be eligible to win some great prizes!!! The hop begins at Lovebug Creations and you'll have a great time visiting some VERY talented crafters (that I still can't believe I'm a part of)!!!!

 I LOVE leaving notes in my kids' lunchboxes, so I was over the moon when I got to work Lunchbox Notes today.  I know that the clock is ticking and those days will soon be over, but I take advantage of every moment I can.  This is a great stamp set for quick little notes.  I made one for each of my kids.  Please be sure to visit Pink by Design's Store to pick up your set.

The rumple ribbon is Olive You and Sunflower. Definitely stop by the Lovebug Creations Store to check out the amazing ribbons!!!

Wine Bottle Tag

Hi crafty friends,

I'm here to share a beautiful wine bottle tag that I created.  I wanted to do something special for a friend who is facing the battle of her life.  Because she can't have alcohol, I will buy her a new bottle of Fre brand non-alcoholic Moscato wine.  It's pretty yummy.

This beautiful Rumple Ribbon is called Lady Jenna.  It glistens. Beautiful!  I love how it paired with the patterned paper.

Primrose Petals paper and ink - Stampin Up
