Week 3 Colour Challenge

Morning everyone....

 

Had a busy day yesterday - got up early and caught the train to London for a girlie treat - Eleanor and I went with Anne and Isabelle, my friend and her daughter. We went on the train - shopped until we dropped - had lunch at Covent Gardens - shopped again and then caught the train home.....it was fabulicious !!

 

Today is the third week at Ladybugcraftsink

'Colour Challenge'

 

I am slowly running out of papers that match this colour combination -  today I have used another Stampin' Up paper and guess what - coloured Billie Bunting in blue !!!

 

 

Cute isn't he ???

Take care

Martini Nikki.....



Hellooooooo

 

My friend who emigrated to Australia in 2009 came home to visit a couple of weeks ago - we had a lovely catch up and made me realise how much I missed her.

 

It will be her birthday this month so I made her a card to take home with her.......

How gorgeous is this digital stamp - Martini Nikki

it reminds me of Jo so much.....

Well - you never guess what ?!?!

..... hello everyone !!

 

What a week I have had - Lewis has been at a cricket course this week - he has been on it for the past 3 years - last year he broke his finger which was the excitement of the week BUT nothing beats what happened this week !!

Andrew Flintoff's sons were on the same course - and yes Andrew visited each and every day and helped with the course - Lewis was thrilled (and so was I !!!) but that's not the end of the excitement - on Wednesday when I went to collect Lewis, Andrew was searching in  his bag for something, so casually after asking for a photograph, I asked him had he lost something - yes he had - his wedding ring !! After searching high low and level on the cricket field for nearly 40 minutes - along with the coaches, 3 mums and about 8 children - I asked Andrew if we could look in his bag !!! - and he said 'Feel free !!'  - and yes there it was at the bottom of his bag - the coaches had 'searched' the bag countless times - he was thrilled and to be honest I felt quite good too !!!!

A photo collage including Flintoff looking in his bag for his ring !!!!

 

Now onto my card .......

Week 2 Colour Challenge.....

 

Three weeks of the summer holidays already gone - I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach anticipating the new school year.......sorry not like most Mums - I'd much rather have mine here at home with me.

 

We spent a couple of days in Anglesey last week - catching up on family life - sometimes I forget what it's like with John away so much.....we had a fantabulous time just wish we had stayed longer.

 

 

Anyway on to my card for week 2 of the

 

'Colour Challenge'

 

I used the same digital image as last week but coloured Billie in pink.

The papers are brand new from Stampin' Up - super cute and ideal for this challenge.

Colour Challenge

Hello to you all !!!

 

I had an amazing weekend I went to the Edinburgh Tattoo with my special friend Jane

- we laughed so much and the Tattoo was amazing.

BUT you never guess who I 'bumped' into..............

 

 

 

 

our very own and bestest Queen Ladybug Kerry- we had a lovely lunch, fantabulous chat and was gutted when time went by so quickly.....can't wait until next time.

 

Onto our new exciting colour challenge at LCI this month

 -  do check to see if you are one of our lucky winners of our 'Birthdays' challenge.

 

 

 

When I saw the colours I didn't know where to begin but then spotted this paper in my digital paper file and knew it would be perfect ;0)

 

I have used 'Billie Bunting' which is available in the LCI store

I love this image which I think you could use for any age.

Campervan mania...

Hello

 

Everyone seems to want camper vans at the moment - when we went to the wedding on Saturday I was surprised to see that Simon & Lucy were too very fond of them. I have to admit when we came out of the church it was a lovely sight to see for a change.

 

My card today is for Eleanor's BFF who has had a passion for camper vans since she was tiny.

Our very own Ladybug Lisa's daughter has a blog where you can purchase digital images of camper vans in all shapes and sizes.

 

I have used Squidgy Digi Female Camper van digital image and coloured with my Promarkers - how cute is it ??
