Kerry is having another sale!

Kerry is having another big sale but for two day only! Hop on over to Ladybug Crafts Ink and grab them before the sale is over!

It's feeling like fall at LCI!

Happy Tuesday all my fellow bloggers. Today I was chosen to pick the challenge for Totally ladybug Tuesday and I chose fall with the option of a fancy fold on your card. Now why I chose this option is beyond me because other than one or two easel cards I have never done any other type. But I guess it pushes me to try something new right?

I chose Frog chasing Jack and made a trifold card. I have shown you a picture of it both closed and open. I was going to decorate the inside and might still do it but the paper I used already has some texture to it and I like the look of it so it might just stay as it is. I have used a green satin ribbon to tie it shut and played around with my new copic airbrush. It is a little splotchy as I am still getting used to it but I think it makes the background look a little dirty and with Jack that is probably a natural thing for him!  Besides, it is my blog and I can justify whatever I choose! Alright, let us see what you can make with a fall theme and/or a fancy folded card for your chance to win a free stamp or be chosen as one of the top three and get to place our banner on your sidebar.

Cute Card Thursday challenge

Good evening everyone. Well, I know it has been weighing heavily on everybody's mind how the first day at my new job went (quit rolling your eyes, I know you are!). Not bad but didn't really do much. Signed a bunch of papers, got pictures taken for my name badge, toured the building, all that mundane stuff. So far everyone is super nice but tomorrow starts the actual training so keeping my fingers crossed I manage to keep up. I'm not getting any younger you know!

Ok, onto my card which is for the weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which is a sketch. The winner gets their choice of 2 images from Kraftin Kimmie and all my friends know I am a sucker for a chance to win some more of her stamps. 

This is an image I just got but is from last years Halloween release. For some reason her skin looks really pale, not sure why but perhaps we will just think of her as a vampire hmmm? She is on this years K and Company Halloween papers with a recollections tag and glittered cat to add a little something extra. A big black bow with an orange and black button layered button to finish it off. I sort of think it looks like a big creepy eye but that is just me. Alright, that is it for me for tonite. Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my LCI post!

Anything goes at Paper Sundaes!

Hi everyone! This week at Paper Sundaes we are being sponsored by Michelles Scrapbooking and the challenge is "Anything Goes"!  Pretty easy huh? So no excuse for you not to play along!  My image is Fall Birgitta and I have 3D pieced her using defective Pinflair glue from my friend Elaine. She won't admit it but I think she is sabotaging my efforts! Just kidding, she is the best. Not her fault my glue exploded when I tried to squeeze it. I must be stronger than I thought!

For some reason it took me forever to finish this card. I have a ton of stickles on the sunflower centers and I think I bumped them 3 or 4 times and had to keep putting more on. Then I just couldn't find any embellishments I was happy with. Ever have days like that? Well, I had to get it done or miss the challenge and I think these work okay. Alright, time to take a break now but can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

New papers available

Just thought you guys might want to enter for  chance to win some beautiful papers from a new company called Ridderesholm design. They are offering a selection of their papers and some candy to spread the word until October 15th. The badge is on my sidebar if you want to click there instead.

A Fairy cute image!

Poet and don't know it huh! This is my second post for today so if you are looking for the LCI blog hop just scroll down a bit and there ya go! This card is using a fairy by Mo Manning and they are having a Celebration challenge to celebrate their 100th challenge. Great prizes to be won!

I tried to color the image in a little bit softer colors and let the paper stand out since it is fairly bold, sorry but these pieces were in my scrap bin so I don't know who they are by but I believe the flower portion is K and Company from a year or so ago. A sentiment by LOTV with some gold stickles, flowers by WOC with some little cut off leaves from Michaels and some gold corner stickum things. Okay, gotta make it a fast post cause I need to head out to work now. Have a great day!

Challenges I am entering:
DP challenge  Celebration
Flutterby Wednesdays  An image with wings, pink, glitter and butterflies too

The Ladybugs are going digi!

I'm telling ya, I was so excited when Kerry told us this! I love rubber but I am loving digi's more. Price can't be beat, instant gratification and perfect image everytime I print. You should have arrived here from Gaelle but if not you can hop over to LCI and start at the beginning. We have 3 images to start with and some add on sentiments for everyone's favorite feline, Magnum. My image is called "Remote Control" but I have to say this isn't my husband and I. We make life simple and have seperate TV's!

I don't have a sentiment on here yet cause I am gonna buy the ones in the shop and use one of them. I added a transparency to the side of the image, never did that before, and have to say I am pretty darn pleased. Now it is time for you to hop over to Julie and see what gorgeous creation she has made.   And here are the "rules" for the hop!

a) Visit each of the DT members in order and leave a comment on each of their blog hop posts.

b) Leave a comment on the Challenge Blog stating which is your most favourite of the new images once you have finished the hop.
