Hi friends. 

I am honored to be helping friends plan their daughter's engagement party. Here's a sneaky peek.

Damaris's Bucket List

Hi everyone,

This week I'd like to share with you a little gift I made my sister, Damaris (Dee).  She lives in Tennessee and I don't get to see her too often, but I'll be seeing her later today and can't wait to show her.

Dee is a big Donny & Marie fan.  I remember as kids we used to watch them on TV and well, her being older...she was in LOOOOOVE with Donny.

Last week we found out they will be doing their Christmas tour in South Florida this December and we thought it would be a nice idea to get tickets and have her come join us.  This is a bucket list item for her, so I ran with the play on words.

I used a mini bucket and printed the seating chart with a huge yellow arrow that says "WE ARE HERE" pointing to the FLOOR seats we got.  How exciting!!!



I used Stampin Up paper that my friend Norma - Pink Bling Crafter sent me.
the label is Vintage Labels by My Creative Time
Ribbon - Sunshine by Lovebug Creations

Diaper Invitation

Hi friends,

It's Wednesday, which means I am posting on Lovebug Creations blog today.  I wanted to show you a cute diaper card I made for a friend who asked me to help her make some invitations.  It took me some time to figure out how to make this card and a few failed attempts later, here she is!


The paper is all from JoAnns and DCWV.
The ribbon is Lovebug Creations.
The pin is cut from Wild Card.  I had to play with the dimensions because I had no idea how to use that cartridge.  (Hahaha)

Hi everyone!

We recently celebrated my sister's birthday.  My daughter wanted to give her a gift, so we quickly packaged up some cute hair clips (because hers had broken) and we tied it with ballet slippers rumple ribbon.  I have been dying to use the Jaded Blossom Flag die and decided to use this striped paper straw and create a flag for it.  I think it's cute.  What do you think?

Sofia the First Coloring Books

As you all know, I've been planning a "Party in a Box" for my friend, Sonia, who lives in California.  Let me explain the relation.  She is my brother-in-law's sister.  My sister and her brother have been married for 30+ years, so there really is no "In-law"....he's like my brother.  Anyhow, she wanted a princess themed baby shower for Baby Sofia who arrives next month and I was eager to help.  Some of the party supplies have already been shared, but here is a cute favor I made for the kids.  It's a Sofia the First Coloring Book.  I love LOVE how they turned out.  I had never sewn bound anything, but I was thinking how to make them beautiful and the light bulb just lit up and I thought "SEW IT!"  BAM!  Brilliant. I now have no brain cells left.  :)

Here it is:

Cupcake Topper

I normally love Blogger, but today not so much.  This post is from yesterday's Lovebug Creations.

Today I'm sharing this cute cupcake topper I made for the Princess in Progress baby shower that I've been working on for what seems to be months.  (LOL).  I used simply white rumple ribbon since it goes best with the color scheme.  Paper is stampin up.  The crown was cut using My Creative Time dies.
