New Release and Blog Hop at Ladybug Crafts Ink - Add a Number

Here I am again..... two days in a row!!!
Its time to share my card for the new release at Ladybug Crafts Ink

There's nothing better to celebrate a new release than a blog hop. You have 2 weeks to join in the fun and try and win some prizes.

 There are just a few things to remember.......

 1. Leave a comment on each of the DT posts as you hop. 

2. Leave a comment on the Challenge blog letting us know which image you like best

 3. Display our badge in your side bar to spread the word. 

 In all there are 20 images in the Through The Ages release! The winner of the will get to choose 6 of those digi's as their prize and 5 runners up will receive 3 images of their choice. 

Not only can you do the hop and win a prize but we also have our normal challenge running too and the theme this week is...

Add A Number

How easy is that for you......hope you can join us.

So here is my creation.....
I cut an aperture in the 6" white card blank using circle nesties and then cut the image to fit in the centre.
Coloured with Polychromo pencils with lots and lots of stickles and liquid pearls added.  The gorgeous ribbon is also available from Ladybug Crafts Ink.  That's it really.  I did love making this card though :)

I definitely need to improve on my photography skills!!!


You should have arrived here from Lyndseys Blog and she is a GD for our new release so hope you will make here welcome. The next stop is the lovely Laurie........ can't wait to see what everyone has created.
Don't forget the images are available here for £1.75 each.

Have a great day.
