GRAND FINALE!!

*wipes leaky eyes* 

Morning (sob sob) hope you are all ok. Today it is with a heavy heart that Ladybug Crafts Ink is closing its doors :( Kerry decided she hated us all and wanted rid of us and realised the threat of the P45 just didn't cut it!! (ok this is totally made up of course!!) So todays post will be the last ever Totally Ladybug Tuesday, all of us ladybugs (soon to be retired) used our favourite LCI stamp. 

The first ever LCI challenge was back in 2010 and we have been going strong ever since! 

My favourite image is Daydreaming Ruby. She is just beautiful! And in true tradition of the ladybugs ribbing me of my hate for pink it seemed fitting that I would make a pink card! .... 

So what else can I say? I am gutted that this will be the last challenge, I loved every minute of being a ladybug and my eyes are all leaky! Thanks Kerry for having me on the team, although to be fair you didn't get much choice lol ... I am not sorry that me and Lisa persuaded you into having a design team .... 

Oh and I almost forgot .... go grab a bargain from the shop ... 

Eunice & Ramsey

Morning all, back with another quick make! This one is using one of the fab releases from Ladybug Crafts Ink. This one is called Over the Hill! I coloured her nose, feet and tail on the computer then added fluffy stuff and GD to her before heating up! the hill is coloured with copics. The papers are Echo Parl and the sentiment computer generated! 

Thats all for today! 

Totally Ladybug Tuesday - CAS

Morning all, its time for another Totally ladybug Tuesday ... except today should be renamed totally forgot tuesday!! 

This challenge was set by the lovely Sally, she chose a nice theme of CAS (Clean and Simple!) All of the ladybugs are using Billie Bear images .... well all except the one who forgot about the images! Whoops!! (I also forgot to add it to the DT blog too!) 

So for my Billie Bear Cas card this week I used Vase O Blooms I kept it all simple mounting simple stories papers onto Yellow cardstock then adding some Kraft! I blinged up the vase and I added WOS to the yellow flowers and gems to the centre of the white flowers! The ribbon is christmas ribbon from M&S sale (gold and glittery!) 

Thats it for now, back later with another card as I forgot to blog yesterday (Can you see a forgetful pattern forming??) Remember to hop on to the challenge blog and join in the fun!
