Happy Birthday Dad!

Just dropping by today with a card I made for a lady ~

she chose a design from my website but could I find the stamp?!?!

Eventually I did but I was stressing.....

Its an old Penny Black stamp and I've added the Roald Dahl alphabet in the blank squares

~ the DP is a digital download from Etsy.

Thanks for stopping by

Vintage look

Happy Saturday - weather has been awful but compared to a 

lot of the UK we have been very lucky...

I have used a paper pad that I was introduced to my fellow bug Julie - and it is 

totally gorgeous....do you ever like paper that much you don't

 want to use but keep for yourself !!!

The die cut leaf was part of a gift from Julie for my birthday - I love them - the button is a SU and the beautiful crochet lace trim from Kerry at LCI.

Hope you liked my card - Celia was very happy with it.

Stay safe during this awful weather....

Summer Fun at Ladybugscraftsink ...

Good Morning - wow !! now wasn't the 'Christmas in July' blog hop fun, did you guess the word ??

I had so many lovely comments on my new DT - thank you all.

The new 'Christmas Delight' digi images look like they are going to be  popular and there were some stunning entries to the challenge.

Do check on the TLT challenge blog to see if you were a winner.....

Now onto this month's challenge 'Summer Fun' - my creation this month is Magnum and Lily mowing the lawn - not much fun but ho hum !!

Actually Magnum looks like my husband mowing the lawn !!

The solid coloured backing card is from Stampin' Up, the patterned paper is Nitwits....the ribbon is from LCI and the fimo daisys were a purchase from eBay a long while ago.

The blades on the mower have been 'flittered' (ha ha Kerry !!) but again doesn't show on the photo....



a sneaky peek at the inside.....

and a combination of everything....

Enjoy looking at the DTs blogs for inspiration and then link your creation to the TLT blog to be in with a chance of being a winner.

Red White and Blue.....

A BIG hello to all my new followers !!

Still not 100% - John working in India, someone broke Lewis' toe at school by dropping him - and Eleanor on meltdown in anticipation of her SATS tests.....no wonder I don't feel 100% !!

Took some time out to make Eleanor's friend a card - as with all young girls at the moment she is an avid fan of anything Union Jack....

a gorgeous bling crown that I found in my local craft store

Oh Christmas Tree....

I haven't been around alot recently my MIL had her chemotherapy stopped last week and it has knocked us all for six.....although we all know the time is near, to be actually told that anything she wants to do - she needs to do now - was quite a blow. Still amazes me how brave she is :)

I took a look at LCI TLT blog this week and decided it was just the thing I needed - so hear is my card......



I glossy accented (is that a word ??!) the baubles and irl they are fabulous.......
