New Release Blog Hop and Domi's challenge

Hello everyone - well it's another big day today here at the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge blog! Kerry has a new release of stamps and we are having a Blog Hop to celebrate!!

Lots of chances to win a prize!!

Firstly the Hop.. all the DT have not only had to use the challenge theme, but they have also each used one of the new images. There are 4 in all and you'll agree when you see their creations the new images are just fabulous! (None of the DT have seen each other's cards either so we can't wait to hop either!)

So onto the rules of the Hop - which are...

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

b) There will be a NUMBER on each of the DT's blogs - note these down! At the end of the hop add up all the numbers you have collected and then email us at lcichallengeblog@aol.com with the grand total.

c) Display the blog hop banner which is at the top of this post on your blog, either in a post or on your side bar.

The First Prize is all 4 images in the new release

and we have 4 Runner up prizes of one new image each. Winners will be chosen at random!

Easy eh?

The hop will close 9am GMT on Monday 28th FEB and the winner will be announced at 9am GMT on Tuesday 1st MARCH.

The first stop on the hop is MICHELE

and here is the rest of the hop -just in case you get lost...

TAMS

Now onto the challenge - which is the other way you can win a prize.. and this week its DOMI our GD who has chosen the theme which is a recipe..

3 Flowers

2 DPs

1 Image

Now this had the DT in a bit of a flap cos we were all that excited about using the new image - most of us forgot the recipe and had to start again!! So please excuse any of us if our cards aren't 100% to the recipe lol...

Can't wait to see yours!

So you have 2 ways to win a prize .. you can just play along with the hop or enter the challenge .. and for the brave you can do both!

And before I forget .. the winner of last weeks ANYTHING BUT A CARD challenge is ..

Sally!

And the top 3 in no particular order are ...

Khin

Jenny

Maria Patrizia

Grab your badge from the side bar ladies!

Good luck everyone... see you all on the hop!

PLEASE NOTE -Since the stamps won't be ready until mid March Kerry is going to do a pre-order special. The stamps will retail for £6.99 but the pre-order special will be £5.99 until March 8th.

Please email us at lcichallengeblog@aol.com for your prize!

Challenge 15 - anything but a card!

Hello everyone, Mary J here! It's Totally Ladybug Tuesday and this week it is my challenge! I thought I should get out of my comfort zone so I chose "anything BUT a card". It seemed like a good idea at the time (I'm sure there was much encouragement from DT mate Lisa J) BUT what was I thinking - I've been panicking about it ever since I chose it!! Well I am sure this is easy peasy for you so I expect to see lots and lots of inspiration from everybody! And if you're like me and this challenge scares you, I hope you will be as brave and join in - tags, gift boxes, bookmarks, clipboards, a bag - go on, try something new!

Before we get onto the magnifilicious creations by the DT team, here is the winner from last week's challenge of LOVE IS IN THE AIR...

AMANDA R.
Please email us at lcichallengeblog@aol.com to arrange your prize

Okay, onto this week's challenge! Take a look at these gorgeous makes by the ever so talented DT (even if I say so myself, lol!!)...

Domi (our lovely GD!)

Wow! I told you they were magnifilicious!

Now before I let you go ... breaking news ... to celebrate a new release of stamps next week we have a blog hop! Just grab the badge and display on your blog and join us on the 22nd for lots of fun.
There are fabulous prizes to be won - one person will win the whole release and 4 people will one stamp each. Now that's worth playing for, right?!

Okay, okay, I'll let you go now! Have a great week everyone!

A card for a child...from a child!

I woke to find this gorgeous card waiting to be posted for last weeks challenge...A card for a child. It's from 11 year old Bethany Patton whose friend Anne lets her make cards with her. I adore this card...Daydreaming Fairy is my favourite (shhh...don't tell the others!) and Bethany has done a flabulous job. I love the colours she's used and the glitter on her wings is glittericious :-D

Thank you Bethany for taking the time to enter our challenge. We love it when our younger followers enter our challenges :-D
