This is the part I've been dreading. I'm sad to have to tell you that Ladybugs Hayley, Mary J and Amanda have decided to step down from the DT. They have provided us with amazing work and inspiration over the last year and we are going to miss them dreadfully but we have all formed everlasting friendships and we wish them all the best in all their crafting endeavours.

Wow, what an amazing blog hop, and Happy Blogaversary. Had a lovely time going round them all, the cards are just stunning, sooo jealous of all that talent. My fave design I think has to be the cake, just so versatile. Can't wait to purchase and get my hands on them.

Hazel said...

Loved the blog hop and seeing all the new images - love the car one best of all as it can be used for any type of wedding, formal or informal. Best of luck to all the retirees! lol Hazel x

orit said...

Wow, what a great images- I love the proposal,really a different one. Thanks for the chance to win and I'm hoping to the others....

ribenaruby said...

Happy 1st Birthday! Thanks for a great hop, been torn between the proposal image and the bride & groom & just married... and I think the latter has won my heart. Wonderful images! Ruby x

Miria said...

happy blogversary! Had fun with the hop, my fave is Just Married. Thank you, Miria

Sue said...

Happy Blogaversary to all the LCI Team!!!
Really enjoyed the Blog Hop. I love all the images. I never know what to put on Engagement/Wedding Cards but think these are a great set of stamps! Can I choose two favourites? I love 'Just Married' because it's so different from run of the mill wedding images and with the car, it appeals to both bride and groom!!! Also love 'The Proposal' cos it's so difficult trying to find an image for engagements and this one is perfect!!!
Thanks for chance of winning all the scrummy candy!
Hugs Sue xx

Congratulations on your blogaversary! The team did a fabulous job on all of their cards. It's really hard to choose an image, but I really like the proposing image and of course the cake. Hugs, dj1952 (Debra)

Happy blogaversary, ladies! The blog hop is super fun! I love all the new images but my favourite is 'The Proposal' - it's so romantic and beautiful and could be used both for wedding occasions and for Valentine's cards.

Babette said...

What a great blog hop, really enjoyed it. My favorite is Just Married, because it is the perfect image for two people who just got married.
Hugs,
Babette

Nancy in Iowa said...

Happy blogaversary! Love the cake - so versatile! all are so cute.

Karen C said...

Very inspiring hop! I think my favorite is the Just married, I think there is a lot you could do with it. I see myself either "pimping out" the car, or "trashing" the car depending on who'd I be giving the card to! LOL Thanks for the chances to win some fantastic blog candy!!!
Hugs,
Karen C (entry #16)

fionalawlor said...

Yay such a fun blog hop! All of the new stamps are gorgeous! I tried to comment on Mary's blog since she was on the hop list but there was no Ladybug crafts post on her blog, or as least I couldn't find it lol
My fave of all the new stamps would have to be the Just Married one :)
Thanks for a great hop and the chance to enter for all the fabby candy.

Happy first LadyCrafts Bug Ink! Thanks for a fab blog hop and all the ladies in The DT did a great job showcasing them.

It's hard to choose one but my fave is the cake. I love the design, clean but elegant! Very stylish!

Wendy - AKA Mrs. B said...

Yes, indeed, HAPPY BLOGVERSARY!!! I hopped, and hopped and hopped some more (even peeked in on Lisa and left some love :). Okay, drumroll... my fave is the image Amanda ( :( sad to see her taking leave) and Kerry used "just married" - the image just takes me back 26 years ago with a cheeky smile! xx

Rose said...

Loved the chance to get to see your new love and marriage images put to sweet use. My absolute fav is the Just Married image because that car gives it so much fun movement. I was torn though as the Proposal image is incredibly sweet. Thanks to the whole team for offering such fab prizes! ~ Rose

Melanie said...

Happy Blogaversary!
I absolutely love all the new images. They're just great!
But my favourite is the "Just Married" image with the couple in the car, when she's throwing her bouquet into the air and they have all the tins hanging in the back... This is not very common here, but you often see it on TV in American movies... It's a tradition I really like!

Susan said...

HAPPY FIRST BLOGAVERSARY !!!
I am exhausted now after all that hopping - but loved every minute :)
My favourite image is the 'Just Married' - don't really have a reason - just the one my eyes were drawn to straight away.
And finally a fond farewell to Mary,Hayley and Amanda - Good Luck in your new ventures Xx
