Good Morning blogland hope all is well with those who had some snow and sad face for those that didn't as you didn't get to build snowmen! We had a good few inches here and as it was so windy too it drifted so it was pretty deep in places, not that I've been outside yet!
I hope it all melts soon though as I'm off up North to visit Lisa on Thursday with Pami, and I don't want to be driving in snow and ice! We are going to the show at Manchester on the Friday if anyone is going give us a nudge, it will be great to meet up.
Now to business!
I have a little surprise at the bottom of my post so make sure you read to the end!
First things first and it time for a new challenge at
and this week SARA is hosting and would like to see
Lace
and inside
I've used flowers from WOC and Echo Park Country Drive 6x6 paper pad, my little nylon butterflies have been in my stash for years along with the lace. I'm not a lace person usually.
We were kindly given some fabulous images to play with by this weeks sponsor
Bugaboo
and this is Flower Gals Violet available HERE
Coloured with Copics and I've used a Spellbinder nestie inside bot available from Stamping Scrapping Central.
I added the flowers over the flowers on the image and was quite pleased how it turned out!
Head over to the main OBAG challenge blog for all the details of this weeks fabulous prize and some great inspiration from my lovely team mates and while your there check out the winners from the last challenge - it might be you!
Remember to be in with a chance of winning you must use something on your card/project that is over 6 months old.
Now for a little sneak peek
You may remember me telling you that Ladybugs Craft Ink are having a new release with a blog hop next week
Well I'm allowed to show you just a teeny tiny snippet from my top secret image! Even the other ladybugs haven't seen each others images so we can hardly contain ourselves!
I know I know its a bit blurred! I hadn't coloured it until last night so I had to take a picture at night with the flash and its not the best picture but just you wait till you see the whole thing!!
I have to apologise if I didn't get around to visiting you much this week, I've been trying to get ahead with my DT cards for my little trip to Yorkshire!
Thanks for looking I'll be back tomorrow with my first 'official' post for the Diva's.
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie
