Spots & Stripes & the Ladybugs

Good morning all you lovely people I have to start by saying I'm so sorry I've not been around - it's the time of year when work takes over my life again and even more so with the lovely weather. It should all settle down again after Easter though I do hope I can get around to visiting you all before then!

 It's not just any Tuesday today its TLT and that means time for a new challenge at
and this week the very lovely Diane is hosting her first challenge since joining the team and she would like to see

SPOTS and STRIPES

one of my favourite challenges!
as you can see this was made for a special person! As time is very short for a while I've had to combine a few events and this was made for my lovely blogging buddy Sue who has just turned 50!
I love this image from the recently released Floral Delights and the lush ribbon is also from LCI. My paper is Echo Park and the watering can is wooden and I painted it white.
Inside
Please head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of this challenge and don't forget to check out if you are amongst the many winners of the last challenge new release event!
While you're there have a peek at the fabulous inspiration from the Ladybugs.

Remember you don't have to use an LCI image to enter - but we love it when you do!

I'm off to the dentist today, thank you for visiting me I will find some time this week to visit you all
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
