Big Birthday's @ LCI

A very good morning to you all on this Jubilee Day. I hope you all have something fantastic planned or have had a fab time in the last few days?  Unfortunately for me I'm hard at work as weekends and bank holidays are our busiest time.
I'm here today with a brand new challenge at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and this week we have a great theme of

BIG Birthday's!
Lol I love it! And not only that, we are all using  the same fabulous image that is the first of more to come in a fabulous new release! We don't have a date yet as Queen ladybug has been busy with her daughters wedding- so watch this space for the latest news!

Lisa and Julie - I hope you can spot the Cricut cut???
I'm getting a liking for my Cricut  now lol (3 years after I bought it!) and yet again I've used my Doo Hickey pennant die, I told you I liked it!!! The papers I've had FOREVER are Making Memories.
Head over to the main challenge blog for all the information you need for this weeks challenge and some great inspiration from the Ladybugs.

Enjoy the last day of your Bank Holiday, I'm off to work but hopefully I'll have more time to catch up with everyone next week.
Thanks for stopping by and a mahoosive hello to my new followers.

A very quick update from my Daughter in China: qoute 
"Mum I'm coming back here as I don't have time to do everything I want!"
 That was on her way to Chengdu to see the Panda's.

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
