Throw Us Some Shapes @ LCI

A very good wet and soggy morning to you all! Well how was your bank holiday? Mine was a WASHOUT! I even got Monday off and stayed home to do some ironing, never been heard of before!

The weeks keep on flying by and today it's time for a new challenge at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and this week the very lovely, uber talented Sally is hosting her first challenge since gaining her Ladybug wings, and she would like to see some

SHAPES
Particularly, a square, a circle and a triangle!

With all this information in hand....this is what I made!
I have to confess this wasn't the first card I made - somehow all the information didn't stay in my brain and when I went to post the original card - it didn't fit the challenge! Hopefully this is just a passing phase and my brain will be back to full working order soon!
The image is, of course the lovely Birthday Nikki, back in stock and available HERE and the papers are First Edition which I think I got from The Range very cheap!
See Lisa I do love a bargain! lol

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the relevant information and some inspirational inspiration (see what I did there?) from the Ladybugs.
Don't forget to check out if you were amongst the lucky winners of Diane's Spots & Stripe challenge too.

Now one more bit of major news from the powers that be, none other than the Queen Ladybug herself.
It seems Kerry has gone mad - yet again I hear you shout!
Once more its a HALF PRICE sale on all cling stamps at LCI and that's not all, Kerry is throwing in a free gift with every order AND its free shipping world wide on all orders over £25!
I've already placed my order - what are you waiting for!!!


Thanks for visiting me today and a huge 'Hello' to my new followers.
I'll be back tomorrow with a new challenge at Diva's
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Love To Create - Birthday (It's A Party)
Pink Elephant - Flowers
Prairie Fairy - Anything Goes
Wags 'n' Whiskers - Say It With Flowers

Sorry your Bank Holiday was a washout! It sounds blooming awful - a day off to do ironing!!! Yikes!! I feel compelled to draw a digi image of an Ironing Fairy - do you think it would go down well?

At least you realised you hadn't met the challenge BEFORE you posted your card Laurie...I just realised 10 minutes ago I didn't have ONE of the shapes on mine :-S I do feel slightly better we were on the same page originally lol. The colours are fab...love brown and turquoise together. Think I'm going to have to invest in the sentiments you use...I say that every time I see your cards hmph! xx
