Emboss with us ..

Hello everyone.... hope you are all well.. sorry have been quiet and not been around much .. i just don't seem to be either awake or in the mood to blog.. 

However i will try and get motivated ..

Its time for a new challenge at 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

and this week the theme is 

EMBOSSING 

Heat or Dry or both!

we are sponsored by 

Bearly Mine Designs

and the Prize is a £10 voucher to use in their store.

I used some daisy papers that were a freebie..i tried to take a close up so you can see the papers..they are very subtle.

I also used a floral embossing folder and the gorgeous Marianne Parasol Die.

I also added some spellbinder corners , pearls and bow.

I haven't added a sentiment as yet as i think the card can be used for lots of different occasions so will wait and add the sentiment as i need it.

LCI - New Release .

Hello everyone .. well here we are again with a new release at LADYBUG CRAFTS INK.

This release is very special.. as our Head Ladybug is due to be a Glam ma  ( that's they term we have chosen instead of Granny lol) very very soon.

In honour of this .. the images are Baby related and our challenge will last a whole MONTH ... as we are hoping she will be very busy with her Glam ma duties.

the theme is

  BABY  

None of the DT have seen all the images -only the one we were given to work with .. so we are just as excited as you to see them all.

My image is called  B for Baby.... and the week i was given it a colleague at work became a Grandma ..so i made this for the new parents ..

I coloured my B for Baby image with my flex markers and then cut out with my scalloped nestie circle.

I printed out the baby details on the pc and cut out in heart shapes using cookie cutters lol..and added some punched baby feet.

The actual plaque was cut from several pieces of card all stuck together to make faux chipboard... and covered with papers from my stash.. the hearts were made the same way .. so the hanging is really sturdy.

I finished off with punched MS buttons .. and ribbon from Ladybug Crafts ink

The new digi's go on sale today at a price of £1.75  and if you use an LCI image in your project to enter our challenge you have a second chance to win a prize.

Also ... we aren't having a hop - but the DT will we using the images again during the month . 

If you comment on the DT posts when they use one of the new images they will each have a draw to pick 2 commenter's to win the image they used.
