March Lovebug Scrapbooking Blog Hop

Welcome to Lovebug Scrapbooking's "INSPIRE US!" blog hop!! Our blog hops take place on the last Saturday of every month. Thanks so much for joining us!

If you just happened by this blog and didn't realize a blog hop was taking place, please go back to Lovebug Scrapbooking and start the Hop. You won't want to miss all the inspiration from our members....... or the prizes.

Our theme for March is "EASTER"

When I heard the theme for this month, I was thinking I would be able to make a scrapbook layout, with my girls in their new bunny ears, however, because I procrastinated and then spending some time in the ER with my oldest daughter, it didn't quite work out. I did have time to play with my new Tim Holtz Edge Die and made this Easter card. I am quite impressed with the edge dies, and look forward to receiving the other ones I have ordered. I used a chipboard "e", from Cosmo Cricket Buck Naked Alpha buttons (I wonder what type of traffic this is going to bring to my blog, lol) as a mask, and sprayed with Blue Skies, Meadow Green and Pink Bubblegum Glimmer mist. Now I can use that "e" on another page, by spraying it with more glimmer mist, or covering it with patterned paper or paint.At the bottom of the card, I stamped an image with Dazzle Frost VersaMark, and embossed with American Crafts Clear Embossing Powder. I just touched up the felt butterflies with some Shimmerz Pixie dust, just to give them some more dimension. Another way to dress up your felt, is to stamp on it, stitch it, or add some bling.

Supplies Used: Little Yellow Bicycle PP, Tim Holtz Plaque Edge Die, Cosmo Cricket Alpha Buttons, Glimmer mist, Heidi Swapp Felt Butterflies and Bling, KaiserCraft Pearls, Technique Tuesday "Happy" Stamp, Inque Boutique swirl stamp, Brilliance Ink-Thyme, VersaMark Dazzle-Frost, American Crafts Clear Embossing Powder, My Little Shoebox Mini Alphas, Shimmerz Pixie Dust, Making Memories Photo Corner

Lovebug Scrapbooking's "INSPIRE US!" blog hop for February

Welcome to Lovebug Scrapbooking's "INSPIRE US!" blog hop!! Our blog hops take place on the last Saturday of every month. Thanks so much for joining us! If you just happened by this blog and didn't realize a blog hop was taking place, please go back to Lovebug Scrapbooking and start the Hop. You won't want to miss all the inspiration from our members....... or the prizes :-)

Our theme for February is "Leaps and Bounds". I did a layout on Spring Blooms. My girls love when the cherry blossoms bloom. When the blossoms start to fall off the trees, they call it their pink snow.

A Closer look at the butterfly:

 

Supplies Used: Making Memories PP, Bazzill CS, Basic Grey Doilies, American Crafts Thickers, Making Memories and Prima Flowers, Prima Bling Swirls, Heidi Swapp Bling - butterfly body, Kaisercraft Pearls - Flower centers, Autumn Leaves Stamp - butterfly, Technique Tuesday Stamp - dots, Cuttlebug Embossing folder - Swiss Dots, Brilliance Ink Graphite Black, Sky Blue and Orchid. 

To do the flower, stamp your image on Patterned paper and cut out. For the butterfly I scored down the middle and adhered it to the other butterfly image with glue. I ran the flower through my big shot using the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I adhered the butterfly to the flower using foam tape, to give it more dimension. This gives you an idea of how to use your stamps on a scrapbook page,but would work for a card as well.

If you leave a comment and since Oscars are around the corner, let me know what your favorite movie was this past year was, and I'll enter you into a special RAK from me. If you become a follower of my blog, you will get another entry into my draw.  This blog hop will run from today, February 27th until March 2nd. We will be drawing for winners on March 3rd.
