The Ladybugs are Back In Town!!

Happy happy happy new year to everyone I'm probably still fast asleep in bed as we've just had 2 of the busiest days and I'm out of practise at working! I was aching in places I didn't know I had!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year break and I hope you all got some new goodies in your stockings for crafting as you're going to need them this week as its Totally Ladybug Tuesday and that means a brand new challenge at
and this week we challenge you to 

Anything Goes with Some New Stash

All the details of this challenge can be found over at the main challenge blog page along with the winner and top 3 from the last challenge.
This card was a commission for a friend and I usually find these so difficult but when she said the recipient loves dogs I knew just the stamp to use! I've used Dog Walking Nikki available HERE

AND DON'T FORGET ALL CLING STAMPS ARE HALF PRICE THROUGH JANUARY! THAT'S AN AMAZING DEAL
 
I got some lovely new Copic Sketch Markers in lots of brown shades, I know that sounds boring but I love my copics and my BIL is building me some lovely new storage for them as this year I'm determined to sort out my stash and I got some fabulous units for Christmas from Storage for Crafts. I've used my all time old favourite papers from Making Memories and Nesties were cut on my Cuttlebug - which to my disgust I broke the other day - so a nice shiny new one is on the way to me as I speak (or type) flowers from WOC

Lorna loved her birthday card and I got some more commissions from it so everyone was happy!

Thank you for all your visits and comments throughout my year blogging I can't believe its been nearly a year!

Love and Hugs Laurie xx
