Spring Time @ LCI

Good morning lovely people, I hope it's a glorious spring day where you are, it's currently a dark cold February night here as I'm super organised and scheduling!

It is time for a new challenge over at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and this week the very lovely Susan is hostess

and she has chosen

Spring

I've used an image from last years Floral Delights release

that I didn't find time to play with until now, I'm not too sure its 'Spring' like but you decide!

I had a lot of fun colouring in that fabulous bench - it took me nearly all night! The image is called Garden Bench Delight and is available HERE. That fabulous ribbon is also available on the LCI website, Kerry sent me a sample a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to use it as my 'Spring Greens'

The 'YOU' is a Cheery Lynn die cut - I love it!

Pop along to the main challenge blog for all the details of this weeks challenge and some amazing inspiration from the Ladybugs

Thank you for stopping by, I hope to catch you later!

Floral Delights @ LCI

Good morning my lovelies hopefully this post has arrived on the scene as I should be at this momemt in time, laid on a beach soaking up some much appreciated sunshine!!

It's time for a new challenge today at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and my gorgeous friend Julie would like to see 

Flowers and Embossing

Well flowers is ok with me but embossing is something I don't really do much of, so I went with a nice and simple CAS style card

As you all know these white cards are almost impossible to photograph  -in the end I just had to step away from the camera!
I've used one of the original Floral Delight images available HERE but check out the rest of the DT, along with some lovely GDT's as they all have new additions to the Floral Delight family.
I was scared of this image when Kerry first sent it to me - but now I love it and I know I will use it lots and lots!

oh hang on a minute there's no ice in my Mojito - you just can't get the staff!!
Gotta get back to my sunbathing!!!

Love 'n' Sunshine Laurie xx

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

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

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.

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!
