Spring is a time for Easter and Mother's Day events but it also signals weddings, graduations, family reunions, and more.  LoveBug Creations has some new awesome products to unveil today for your spring celebrations.

  So do you want to add something special to your handmade projects?? If so, consider these new springtime collections for your crafting arsenal of rumple ribbon delights:

And for something different, we are releasing the beautiful Mama's Roses.  
Each rose is hand-formed and hand-dyed; each has dimensions of  2"x 2" and can be used as is or inked, painted, stickled, and more - your imagination can provide lots of possibilities for these beauties - and they are feather-light so you can create lots of projects from layouts to cards to tags to mixed media creations to 3-D creations and more and not feel there's an anchor on your project, weighing it down!

And if that isn't enough... We've got 4 NEW Mama's Mesh Colors: Kraft, Ivory, Light Blue & Light Pink!!!

Also Mama's Mesh is now being offered to buy by the yard as opposed to in collections!

So settle back as we take you on a tour of spring celebrations and invite you to visit our LBC ONLINE STORE

I made some fabric flowers for a swap with MAMA and these beautiful spring colored rumple ribbons were the perfect flower centers... and leaves.  I am just loving these shades!

To make the flowers I used a sizixx circle die and cut 6 out of a thin cream cotton.  I stamped them with a script and dyed them a touch.  Then I rolled them up and sticked them to a piece of felt to make the flower patter.  For a pretty colorful center I used a little... or a lot of rumple and an old looking button.

How about some delicious LBC Blog Candy!
LoveBug Creations is offering a $10 gift certificate to our online store and several other items as well.

Thinking Spring on a Monday night

Tonight I finished up some projects and added to the box for OWH.  First is another train banner - this one for an etsy sale.  I just love the rush I get from someone I don't know asking to buy my goodies.
Then I finished an image swap where we just stamp our favorite images and then we switch them up.  I have found it to be the biggest mojo starter.
After those were ready to go, I knew I had to add to my OWH box.  Four cards in total and both on the spring side.  I am working really hard to make my cards more lush with more detail and not so 'card party kit' as when we needed hundreds and hundreds.  There is still a need, but less.  These images were both found at the dollar bin at JoAnn's.  I embossed the bird's nest, added gel pen to the eggs and it looks really polished to me.  It is lined in white with a stampin up flower image.
The last two are on a paper with glossy accents to the petals, inked edges to let it feel more worn, and stickles to the flowers.  This is also lined and stamped.
Thanks for stopping by - hope you had a great Monday, too.
