Rumple Ribbon Wednesday

Pin It

Hello fellow lovebugs!!

Connie here with a project I can't wait to share!!

 

A few years ago I purchased this wooden cross from Michael's with the intent of altering it to go in my office. I have a cross in every room of my house and so my office/crop room should be no different. I spray painted it brown and never touched it again.

 

That is until this week!!

 

Using some silk flowers, bling and vinyl from my stash I transformed this cross in to something gorgeous. The word Faith is from the Cricut Cart Inspired Heart.

 

 

Of course I added all three patterns of Wild Thang Rumple Ribbon to the cross.

I just love what it adds!! If you have seen my office, you know my theme is Wild (Safari).

So how perfect is this?

 



 

 I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful! 

Happy Crafting and Scrappy Hugs,

 Don't forget to enter my Challenge:
Leaf it Up to Me

Entries are due by Saturday November 30th at 11:59 pm.

You could win a prize pack from Angela Holt Designs!!

Hello My Fellow LoveBugs!!!

It's my first post on Wednesdays here at LBC featuring Rumple Ribbon!!

I am so excited!! Who loves this ribbon? I DO!!!

Today I created a simple one page layout and used Simply Red Rumple Ribbon to help accent on of the corners of a photo. This photo had a red light in the background and a lot of empty black space so a pretty red bow was the perfect touch!!

I just wanted to show off this really pretty flower too!!

I tied the bow using a bow maker and tucked the lose ends under the photo creating a photo corner out of ribbon. (Kind of!)

 

  I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Happy Tuesday!!

Pin It

Hello my crafty friends!

Connie here wishing you a happy Tuesday!!

 

I wanted to fill you in on a few changes going on in my life and my blog.

Just in case you noticed and are wondering what's going on!!

 

The good news is I will now be posting on Wednesdays for LoveBug Creations. We are mixing things up a bit and I get to work with Rumple Ribbon now instead of Mama's Mesh. But don't worry..you'll still get to see me play with it from time to time because I love that stuff!!

So starting tomorrow be on the lookout for my new Wednesday posts.

 

Now for the bummer news. I don't want to call it bad because honestly it was never a bad thing!!

I decided that due to school kicking my bootie I need to cut back a bit on my Design Teams. It was either that or stop hosting so many blog hops and the monthly challenges. I LOVE hostessing hops and challenges!! So I sadly report that I have resigned from the FCCB DT. No more Challenge Me Monday posts from me. I love FCCB and the gals there so much and I am truly going to miss them. I hope to keep in touch through maybe playing along in the challenges from time to time. If I met you through FCCB I hope you will continue to stick around because I treasure you too!!

 

And lastly Memory Works announced last week that they are closing their doors effective December 31st. So I will only be a consultant and have a website with them for 2 more months. I urge to take a peek and see if there is anything you want or need soon because I anticipate that they will be running out of items very quick.

 

My new challenge is up! I already have 2 players!! Which rocks!!! So come on over and join in the fun!! This month's challenge is Leaf it up to me!!

 

Happy Crafting and Scrappy Hugs!!



Monthly Challenge #16 Leaf it up to Me

Pin It

Hello my crafty friends!
It's November and time for a new Monthly challenge here at Connie Can Crop.
I love the Fall more than any other season. The colors, the smells, and the weather all make me happy. To really see the changing of the leaves I must take a drive up to the Mountains. We just don't have that many where I live. So those gorgeous fall leaves are my inspiration for this month's challenge.

My Challenge this month:
Leaf it up to Me

I want you to create a project featuring fall leaves!

This way I can enjoy their beauty!!

Please create one layout, card, or other project. Your layout can be single page or double page. You may use any other products you wish. Just be sure that fall leaves are on your project. When you are finished with your project please post it here in this thread.

This month I will allow two entries per person. (Just to be fair!)

Entries are due by Saturday, November 30th at 11:59 pm.

I will draw one lucky winner from all entries and they will receive a wonderful shabby chic kit and some other goodies from the lovely Angela Holt Designs

I love sugar skulls and was looking for a reason to create one with the Ole cartridge from Cricut. They only have the one skull on the cartridge but with tons of papers and embellishments on the market you can create a different sugar skull every time.
I decided to create a wall hanging in the color scheme red and black.

 

I used some rubons for the flowers inside the eyes, lots of bling, patterned paper, cardstock, and for some added texture simply white Mama's Mesh by Lovebug Creations.

 

 

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Come back Monday November 4th for the new Monthly Challenge

and

Wednesday for the announcement of the blog hop winner!
