Thanks.

Years ago, my grandmother gave a friend a bouquet of flowers.

As a thank you, the friend drew the flowers on a card base to express her thanks.

It was a sweet exchange I have long remembered!

This is for a SCS challenge today...

I also used bling from Eyelet Outlet..and of Mini Glue Dots ® and Pop Up Relief Glue Dots ®.

Liberty...and two free tickets!

We sure enjoyed meeting excited crafters last weekend in Novi, MI 

at the Great Lakes Mega Meet! Whoa! What creativity under the same roof!!

Our next booth will be set up in Pullup, WA

with Stamp & Scrapbook Expo.

Want free tickets to the show or any other Stamp & Scrapbook Expo show in 2017 (excludes NJ)?

 Tag a few friends on the Eyelet Outlet FB page.

The more the merrier!!

One crafty winner will receive two vouchers!

Here is a patriotic card...so simple to make with Eyelet Outlet red glitter washi tape

and Star brads (RWB) and a few blings for added interest!

Proud to serve others...always.

Today was a day of service. And after being on the receiving end a few months ago, I was so grateful to be at the giving end. Today's SCS F4A279 challenge was to honor Canada (July 1) or the USA (July 4). Well, I figured, today I'd be on Team Canda...even though I will really only ever be Team USA. But Canada is my neighbor, eh?

I did sneak some pale blue/grey watercolor for that shadow...hehe.

I used Mini Glue Dots ® to adhere the copper sequins.

These stamps are from Paper Makeup Stamps, as well as Mark's Finest Papers.

Headliner

Jute string...

Don't just use 3 Girl JAM jute string to make a bow or tie together some candies...

Let it stand out and be the statement on your card by pairing it with a punny sentiment and a unique brad/embellishment. This scissors brad can be found at the Eyelet Outlet.

I love this Orange Jute String against the blue/green paper.

It's bound to bring a smile to a friend's face!

Use Mini Glue Dots ® to hold down your bow and to keep the string tucked into the scissors.

I used a Craft Glue Dot  ® near the bottom.  It holds the spiraled end nicely!

For more ideas using 3 Girl JAM products,

please unravel on over to the 3 Girl JAM blog.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Bold Statement!

Let Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations 

be the focal point on your card

by creating a large rumple bow!

Using two very different colors makes a bold statement.

I used Sunset and Purple-dise.

Use similar colors to make a softer statement.

A fun, flirty, fabulous focal point!

Now, that makes ME happy!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Be sure to check out the Mama's Mesh 

and Beautiful Blooms today too!

After that, check out some more of the fantastic inspiration from the creative team

at Lovebug Creations!

Time...

It's time again to remember those brave soldiers...

Men and women who gave their all to their country.

Rows of large pearl bling are a nice backdrop for the Simply Red and Ocean View Rumple Ribbon

from Lovebug Creations.  The Pocket Watch Brad and Bling Strips are from The Eyelet Outlet.  

Don't you love this new larger size of bling!  I used a Pop Up Glue Dot ® to adhere the flourish of color on this card base.

Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers

I hope you take time from picnics, bbqs, and working around the yard

to give thought and thanks to those who helped to make it all possible!

Be sure to play along with us at the Lovebug Lounge on FB.

Monthly challenges!!

Box Flowers

Using a Box Flower tutorial, I created poppies

 out of Simple Red Mama's Mesh from Lovebug Creations!

Very simply..

cut out four circles. (I used a die.)

Fold each circle in half and arrange them as you might fold down four box flaps.

I used red thread and put in a few stitches to secure my flower together.

Then, I sewed on a sunny yellow button!

The Green Leaves rumple ribbon was attached using Glue Dots...and I love the look

of the rumply leaves!  Poppy leaves are sort of jaggety!  

Don't you just LOVE poppies? 

I do!

Remember, this month, we want to see what kinds of flowers you can make using ribbons

and mesh from the Lovebug Creation's site!

Thanks for remembering us today!

Remember what comes this weekend...

Glitter Swirl August

This month, Glitter Swirl, in all its shades, is 20% off at The Robin's Nest.  As I was starting my cards, my friend  admiringly said "This paper speaks for itself."  So..with that, I kept the cards simple so you, too, could admire the glitz swirl of Glitter Swirl Cardstock!

This is Gold Glitter Swirl on Creme.

I used Simply Red Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations.

The rose gives it a bit of a vintage feel.

Cut your Swirl paper to 10.5 x 3.75 inches. 

Score in half.

Cut plain black card stock to 5.5 x 4 inches.

Mount your base on the black card stock.

I used Craft Glue Dots © to create this belly band around the entire card.

Use more Glue Dots © to add the embellies and tag.

But use Removable Glue Dots © to secure the band to the front of the card.

This way, it will stay in place, yet still be easily removable 

when it is time to open the card and read its contents.

For my second card, I used Black Glitter Swirl on White.

The embellishments are silver on this more contemporary looking card.

Ocean View Rumple Ribbon for the blue!

Which do you prefer?

Vintage Red and gold...

or Contemporary Blue and silver?

But wait...There are at least ten swirl patterns to choose from.

Be sure to add some to your next purchase from The Robin's Nest!

Let me know what your favorite is!!

Cute!

Super quick and super cute.

The sentiment is from an older Mark's Finest Papers set:  Sew What?

Tip:  For heavier embellishments, use Craft styled Glue Dots ©. 

 These dots have a lot of strength!  As they are a bit bigger, so they cover your embellies well.

Be sure to check out all the great prizes this week. Don't you just love the sandy and cloudy papers from Robin's Nest.  You can be sure that I will enjoy using these lovely papers.

Orange you glad to have the color ORANGE in your life? I'm totally on an orange kick!!  Here are some recent ORANGE cards that I have made...

This is a crimped envie card. Ooh, love, this guava colored envie.  Look out Hollos..I need more!

Love this Otter by Hambo!  This week's Hoedown Challenge is ANYTHING GOES.  Be sure

Very orange/guava here. This cardstock, stamps, ribbon, flower, and charm...can all be found at Mark's Finest Papers.  Yes, the entire design team is raving about the new sets they have received. Bummer, I'm not receiving any....sniff, sniff.  I'm sure we will all be impressed!

It's no bull that I LOVE Starving Artistamps!!

On the Mend...

This week, we want to see those cards that will help others who are "on the mend!"  Along with several digi companies, the Party Time Planners have been super excited to embellish with plenty of ZVA Creative flowers and rhinestones!  Be sure to check out all the sponsors of this week's good bags HERE.  Link your "Get Well Soon" card and post your Party Time Tuesdays Party Badge...and you just might get a fabulous goodie bag!

Hopefully this design will hopefully get your creative juices flowing! (But not your nose! haha)

A close up of the gorgeous blooms and sparkly rhinestones donated by ZVA Creative!  (Sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers.)

THANK YOU, MFP

On this final day of the February hop, it is time for me to announce that this will be my last hop with Mark's Finest Papers. After nearly 2 years of playing with all their fabulous papers, ribbons, images and other embellies, I have decided to step down and take a short break.  I am going to miss all my Speedy Friends...and boy...the marvelous papers!  

Thank you to Faith...and the new owners, for allowing me participate and promote MFP.
