I stamped my Sweet little Love Bugs and Jar with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White CS, did a little paper piecing and and colored the rest up with my trusty Copics I cut them out with the help of the Love Bug Dies included with the set,added the xoxo's by hand to the Fun little tag and popped it up with a bit of foam tape onto my layered Classic Ovals & Scallop Ovals Die Cuts. My mats and BG layers are a combination of Kraft CS and MME's Nostalgia 6x6 collection. To finish it all up I stamped my Love Bugs sentiment onto a Fly Your Flag 2 Die cut,added a fun little border created with the Cloud Border Die a touch of Stardust Stickles and  bit of ribbon from my stash...8-)
