Bows Bows Bows @ The Ladybugs

Good Morning everyone its TLT time again and I'm here with a new challenge at
and this week my lovely teamie Sue is hosting and she would like to see some
BOWS
on your cards - We all love a bow don't we?
I rarely make a card that doesn't have ribbon on! Not intentionally, I just like to finish it off with a nice bow!
I've used an old sketch for some inspiration, I'm sorry but I don't know where its from but I think its one of Bev Rochesters.  The fabulicious image is Bathtub Nikki available HERE at half price through January! I've been stocking up while this amazing offer is on all cling stamps at the LCI store!
Papers are MME Meadowlark. My sentiment is a Melissa Francis rub on and you can't see it on this picture but I've put glossy accents on the bath tub to make it look porcelain!

I hope you will all get time to play along with this challenge, remember the Ladybugs have gone fortnightly for now so you have 2 weeks to get your bows tied! You don't have to use an LCI image to join in but we love it when you do!
Head over to the main challenge blog page for all the details of this challenge, last weeks winners and some fabulous inspiration from my lovely team mates.

It's been quite difficult leaving comments on some blogs this last week, I've just changed my comment box to a pop up as many people think this will cure at least one problem! If I didn't get around to commenting on your blog it wasn't because I didn't try!

Thanks to everyone for visiting
don't forget to enter my followers candies
I have a lot to thank you guys for!

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

I'm actually loving the pop up box Laurie cuz you can scroll the card down and look at it while commenting instead of scrolling up and down!! Anything that makes life easier lol. Loving Bathtub Nikki with her red shower cap...the red just pops off the card. Your bows are so perfectly tied..any tips wouldn't go amiss! xx
