TLT - Pam's Challenge - Anything But Square

Happy TLT...hope you're all well. Sorry for the lack of posts since last week. I can assure you I haven't been lying on the couch eating chocolates and watching tv lol. I'd love to tell you what I've been up to but lucky for you I'm short of time ;-D

Thank you to everyone who entered our Birthday Challenge...you guys sure kept the Ladybugs busy! I apologize for my lack of commenting but again count yourselves lucky I'm short of time lol. Make sure you check the challenge blog to see if you're the Challenge Winner or LCI image winner or one of our fabulicious Top 3.

I have a bit of sad news to tell you. Ladybug Pinky has decided to step down from the DT and we are all gutted. But the good news is you can still go and visit her any time. Good luck Pinky, we'll missed you big time.

Today's Anything But Square Challenge comes courtesy of our lovely Pam. I love making square cards...it's my most favouritest shape ... but it's always to do something different. One of our Ladybugs was having palpitations but I can tell you she rocked the challenge!

It's my nephew John's birthday the same day Nicole and Ben get married, May 26th so there is no way I could forget! I needed something quick so this is what I came up with....

I've used the balloon from the Add-Ons set but cheated a bit and used it as a digi which is now in the store if you find you NEED it! As it's a png file it was easy to type the letters then drag the balloon over them. In hindsight I should have made the balloons smaller so you could see more of the striped paper.

I added Glossy Accents to the balloons but I messed up the H. I was too impatient and opened the card to put the insert in and it hit off my Copic color chart :-( I tried heating it with a heat gun as that usually does the trick but I think it made more of a mess and I don't have time to make another one so John is getting it as is!!

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

The old adage 'teaching an old dog new tricks' is very true with this old dog lol. I've managed to set up a link to be sent when digi's are bought in the store. Go Kerry go Kerry!!! Now when you buy a digi you will be sent a confirmation of your purchase and then an email with the link to download your image. I spent a small fortune trying it out and it worked  so now you don't have to wait for me to send them to you :-D


I'm off on my hols tomorrow but I do have a few scheduled posts so please don't forget about me!! Not sure if I'll be able to post anything while I'm away but if I can I will. Orders for items other than digi's will be sent after my return on the 18th.

Take care and see you soon

Catch ya later x


PS Order Of Service is done YIPPEE!!!!!!!
