Anything But Square @ The Ladybugs

Hello strangers! I'm back from my jollies in the Lake District and can you believe the statistically wettest place in England was warm, sunny and DRY all the time we were there! I'll blog a couple of photo's tomorrow. I came back and went straight to work as it was a bank holiday weekend and now I have so much catching up to do!

First things first, and it's a brand new challenge over at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and my gorgeous friend Pami is hosting today
she has thrown us the challenge of
Anything But Square
now come on admit it....how many of you are expecting a mini round card from me?
Surprise surprise.....it isn't!!
I've used Cheeky Jack aavailable HERE, he's one of my favourite LCI images and the shape is cut with a Go Kreate die, I cut 2 and folded one in half and stuck half of it to the front panel to make it stand up. The wild child is a rub on and perfect for my friends little Grandson!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details on this weeks challenge and some fabulous inspiration from the Ladybugs.
I didn't get to visit all my quota with comments as I was away for a week but I'll make sure I do this week! Thank you all for bearing with me.

Thanks for stopping by today
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Wow, wow, wow! I'm not a fan of green myself, but you have used them so well on your card and as a primary colour it's so perfect for a 3-year old. Fabulous card! And that rub-on is so perfect, too.
