Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

We’re celebrating a birthday with Stephanie, one of the Lovebug Creations Creative Team members, today. Here’s a card I made for her using some gorgeous Lovebug Creations products.

I used some of the newest Rumple Ribbon to make a pretty bow, this color is Garden Green from the Gardens of Tara collection. Sitting atop the bow is a Beautiful Bloom from the Love in Bloom collection.

I also used some White Mama’s Mesh to give a little texture on top of the yellow heart paper.

Stephanie, from the bottom of my creative heart I wish you a wonderful day full of sweet surprises and a year that brings your heart joy and love. Enjoy today and celebrate all month long! And to my visitors, Thank You for stopping by to see my blog post. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Please leave a Happy Birthday message for Stephanie in the comments!

Ahoy there!

Lovebug Creations is teaming up with Pink by Design for a Spring Blog Hop!

We have TWENTY blogs lined up to take you to crafty HEAVEN! You probably started at the Lovebug Creations Blog and arrived here from the Pink By Design blog. The list is below, in case you get lost. You’re currently at number 3!

If you missed any of the stops, you’ll want to go back to the Lovebug Creations Blog so that you don’t miss any of the bloggy goodness and a chance to win some BLOG CANDY!

The Lovebug Creations Creative Team got to play with some super adorable clear stamps from Pink By Design and I got the cute “Hubba Hubba” set that includes a bubbly fun submarine and seven sentiments for all sorts of occasions.

The beautiful Rumple Ribbon is from the “Eyes of Blue” and “Icy Sky” collections from Lovebug Creations.

The sentiments are so clever and I had so much fun using them. Be sure to check out the Pink By Design shop to see all of the other stamp sets that they have!

The Bathing Beauty dress forms are from the $1.50 section at Michaels. To get my vintage juices flowing, I created a board on Pinterest called Boardwalk Love to give me some inspiration. I loved making them so much that I went back the next day and loaded up my basket with more dress forms and even found some guy shapes! (I can be a little obsessive sometimes!)

BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY

Are you ready to win? Pink By Design & Lovebug Creations are EACH giving $15 gift certificates to one lucky winner!

And, I’ll be picking one lucky winner to win a gorgeous necklace, handmade by me, in my favorite colors, pink and teal! What have you got to lose?

Would you like to get to know Lovebug Creations?

Located in Hicksville, OH, Lovebug Creations is a family-owned business started by Kimi Cremar, Pamela Lash, and Missy Kleinhen in 2010. Initially focusing on creating and selling handmade cards and brooches, they expanded their business in November 2012 with the addition of beautiful Rumple Ribbon. What began as friends asking for ribbon for themselves quickly transformed into a growing business. Soon customers began requesting more colors and before long an entire rainbow of colors was available and the first Creative Team was announced on January 31, 2013.

Lovebug Creations is known for beautiful quality ribbons in fresh, vibrant colors and friendly customer service.

Here is some info about Pink By Design from the owner, Sarah:

“My husband and I started Pink by Design Stamps in July 2010. We specialize in clear stamps that give you fun, hip, and creative word/phrases that are really difficult to find. Our first launch of stamps was with my blog, PinkCricut.com, where we released 5 stamps sets to pair nicely with your crating needs. We are proud to now showcase 38 clear sentiment sets with over 800 sayings, 8 newly released background stamps, and our clear Stamp of the Month. You might have seen us around as we have been featured in Provo Craft classes, The Bug Magazine, and tons of blogs.

All of our stamps showcase original designs that have been designed with all craft projects in mind; each and every font is hand selected to give each phrase that special touch. You need not worry about the quality of our stamps as they are manufactured right here in the USA, and stamp beautifully right out of the package.”

Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you on the Blog Hop this Saturday!

Christine
