Day 12 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 12 of  our new Digi Image Reveal.

Sue Here today to show you the images i have used .

Mobile Phone Josh and Hair Straighteners Jess

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink now, and you can get bundles or the whole release for a specially discounted price (great value I have to say!)

My first project  ...

I made this card for my son's birthday, and he loved it (and yes the hair colour is true to life!)  Mind you since then I've been nagged as he wants a mobile of his own, but I just know he'd have it glued to his ear permanently too

My second Project

This card has been made for my friends daughter who turns 13 in a couple of weeks and although not a girly girly young lady she does like to look nice, and likes to do her hair so this is a perfect image for her, especially as she is too old for a lot of childrens images but grown up ones aren't suitable for her either!

My second Project

 using the gorgeous Jess, paper pieced and cut using the out of the box technique

I had to laugh when I saw this image, as a mother of two teenage girls I never see the chairs in their rooms as they are always piled high with clothes and the floor is generally the place to sit!

Hello and welcome to day 9 of  our new Digi Image Reveal.

Pinky  here today to show you the images I have used .

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink now,

My first project  was made using

Computer Geek

I kept to neutral colours. Don't you just love his expression! I finished the card with some string and a metal swirl. He is very easy to colour and will certainly be a useful image to have in your stash.

My second Project was made using
Whispering Wall

I went with nice bright but not too girly colours for this one. I love this image, another really useful one to have in your stash. I added some raffia and a nice orange flower to finish it all off.

Day 6 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 6 of  our new Digi Image Reveal.

Diane here today to show you the images i have used .

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink now,

MY FIRST PROJECT

Meet... Tomboy Jess

The papers I have used are from my stash and I just love purples and lilacs. The buckle is a nestabilities die which I have cut a strip of card, embossed it and threaded it through the buckle. Around the edge of the image and sentiment I have drawn a stitch effect with a fine marker pen then finished off with a strip of star gems.  

INSIDE

With digi's I like how you can make the images what size you like.

MY SECOND PROJECT


Meet...Skateboard Josh

The backing paper is from the new Papermania range. Thought I'd go for a masculine blue and black colour combo.  Behind the image I have embossed the white card then matted and layered it onto black and finished off with some candy brads.

Day 5 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 5 of our new Digi Image Reveal.

Pami here today to show you the images i have used.  

I hope you have been enjoying the reveals so far.  
The new images today are First Car Josh and Coat of Paint Jess. 

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink now.

Here is my first card using First Car Josh:

I wanted to create an urban feel with this image and used grey and black as a theme with a splash of red for Josh's car. 

My second project is using Coat of Paint Jess:

All the projects so far using Jess have had quite girly colours, I stuck with more tomboy colours which work just as well as the pinks and lilacs.

Day 4 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 4 of our new Digi Image Reveal.

Laurie here today to show you the images I have used .

 Those of you who have been following everyday will already have seen both of these soon to be released images from the new TEENAGERS Collection but this is my take on them.

First up....

Texting Jess

I've used Making Memories papers and ribbon and a MFT flower die.

My second Project is....
Graffiti Josh

I've kept him fairly simple (no flowers lol) and used some Kraft card and a MS border punch.

Day 3 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 3 of  our new Digi Image Reveal.

Catherine   here today to show you the images I have used .

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink now,

My first project  using  Graffiti Josh.
I love this image, so versatile.....

My second Project is using Tomboy Jess.

I thought I'd go a bit more funky with this card whilst still using my favourite PINK although I think Tams did an awesome job yesterday including pink in her image however she swears blind its not really pink lol....
I think this image could be used on a really pink and girly card as well so covers all bases....

Day 2 - Reveal

Hello and welcome to day 2 of  our new Digi Image Reveal.

Tams here today to show you the images i have used.

I have used Xbox Josh and Gossip Girl Jess!

The images are available at Ladybug Crafts Ink VERY soon!

My first project  ... Using Xbox Josh

I love this image, and these papers were just a perfect match, he has a very rugged handsome kind of look to him. The papers are from MME and the scrabble tiles are Papermania. 

My second Project Using Gossip Girl Jess

And isn't she just FAB!! I was looking forward to this release as you all know I am so not a girly girl so seeing something like this on the market is just perfect and I didnt have to use any pink!! I teamed up Gossip Girl Jess with MME Papers, Ribbon which you can buy here, and the sentiment is from PTI.

At the end of the fortnight we will also have a BIG PRIZE of a £15 Voucher to spend at 

LADYBUG CRAFTS INK !

Fabulicious eh?

So without further ado.. here are the first Images and Projects by Head Ladybug herself - KERRY

Phew!! Made it just in time...I was only a tad late lol...thanks Tams!!!

I am super excited to bring you these new images... I'm sure they will remind you of at least one teenager you know lol.
