Ladybug Challenge

Boy....got close to the deadline!  There were a few more elements I wanted to add, but staying with CAS this time.  From the Heart (Delightful Inspiration) Stamps (Designed 2 Delight) offered this darling freebie if you have been following the progressive challenge.

I have several thank you cards that need to go out....this one is in the mail today...haha

A2, red brads, scallop punch, EK circle punch, copics, ribbon, stitching

Ladybug Spring

I started my very first scrapbook, but I haven't posted anything yet.  I bought several darling cutting files from Designs on Cloud 9.  They have some irresistible files that are going to be perfect for some of my scrapbook pages and this Little Love Bug file was a freebie about 2 weeks ago.  I'm entering my card in their  Facebook page Spring challenge which runs until March 15.  When Spring arrives....so do the ladybugs!

A2, stitching, ribbon, ladybug embellishment, MB die, embossing folder, pop-ups

Color/Sketch Challenge

At Catch the Bug

I just love Lily Ladybug - Fly from Bugaboo Stamps. This week's challenge calls for the colors pink, green and black.....my favorite colors to work with these last summer days. I bought 3 DP papers that I thought would be perfect.  When I finished, I hated it...so much for the DP paper I cut up in a million pieces to try and make work...LOL   Half a day later I was happy with this card.

Flutter on over and see the inspirational cards by the DT at Catch The Bug and join the challenge!

5x5, copics, embossing, jewels, stitching, punch

Ladybug card different flowers

I wanted to do this pretty Bugaboo Stamp free image in some different colors.  I've had a good time with this one even though I have a horrendous head ache and ear ache...all sinus and Spring related I'm sure.

Received some very informative information from a follower who knew about ladybugs.....

"There's more than one species of ladybug out there. The one without spots is from Japan and it bites. It was brought to deal with a different pest than ours and is becoming invasive (kind of like kudzu). " -- Debbie

Ladybug Ladybug...Fly Away Home

Such a lovely image Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps gave us as a freebie.  I'm finishing 2 others with flowers of different colors.  Ladybugs in my yard are not really red anymore....what happened?  I did a little research.  They haven't lost their color...haha, but rather, there is another species and that's why so many look burnt orangish-red.  (click pic to get a closer look)
