Hello again my lovely bloggers, I've given up trying to predict the weather, we've had allsorts in the last few days! I just hope wherever you are the sun is shining on you!
It's time for a new challenge today at
LADYBUGS CRAFT INK
and it's my turn to host, and, as today is
my lovely twin babies 23rd birthday
my lovely twin babies 23rd birthday
I thought I'd go for a bit of
Double Trouble
So I'd like to see 2 of something on your projects please. It doesn't have to be 2 images (but it can be) just as long as I can see double it will count.
I've used 2 LCI images on my card, On Your Bike Robyn and Policeman Jack. It's the first time I've masked and stamped 2 images for a card and I'm thinking I might try this again! These two playing together remind me of my two as youngsters lol.
The paper is from a Craftwork cards flower pad as too is the pinwheel. I wanted to keep it simple as the 2 images are quite busy. The sentiment is also LCI and its mounted on Stampin' Up punch outs.
You can find all the details on the main challenge page along with some fabulous inspiration from the Ladybugs.
Just encase anyone is interested, here's a couple of photo's of the kids.
I had to scan them lol as there was no digital photo's way back then!
This is Michael with all three of our Munchkins, Jordan was only 19 months old when Joel William (6lbs 11ozs) and Raegan Michaela (5lbs 12ozs) were born. Joel was born at 2 minutes to 10 in the morning and Raegan at 2 minutes past.
Joel had masses of thick hair and Raegan didn't have much for ages!
Joel didn't want me to use this picture as he thinks he looks fat but I like it. It was taken about 18 months ago on holiday. In the last couple of months he has been on this fitness plan and lost 2 and half stone. His sister (currently backpacking around China) won't recognise him when she gets back on Monday!
Thanks for looking
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Hi there Mrs, sorry I haven't been commenting so much, my sick kitty has taken a bit of looking after. Love your post about your twins, bet they love you posting those picks! Poor you not having Raegan in the same country for her birthday - mind you it will probably be an even bigger party as a result when she returns! Love your double image card another great design. Have a great weekend - don't work too hard, Jx PS I too am a twin!
Hi Laurie, I'm still trying to catch up in blogworld - am mega behind (again!).
Love this card, I used to mask and stamp loads then stopped and now am boringly one stamp per card. Having seen your fab scene, I might have to get those post-it notes out again!!!
Thanks for sharing the pics of your kids - weren't they just the cutest when they were little! And very handsome and lovely now they are all grown.
Well done to your son for loosing the weight, wish I had his willpower!!
See ya soon,
Sarah
PS - Love the SC card as well, great embellies and your colouring is perfect.
Gorgeous card, love the little scene you've built. Thanks for joining our Summer Scene challenge over at Polka Doodles. Good luck.
