George Who????

Welcome to another TLT at Ladybug Crafts Ink. The weeks are still flying by and the weather isn't getting much better. We had a little tease at the weekend of what might come but it's back to wind, rain and ccccold hmph!

The entries for our last challenge were outstanding ... make sure you check out our Challenge Blog to see if you were one of our winners :-D

Today's challenge comes from our Lovely Lisa....St George's Day - Red and White. Our North American DT members (I include myself in that exclusive group!) weren't too sure who George was but after a little explanation from Lisa and then realizing we didn't have to reference the actual George in our card but the colors red and white we quite happily got on with the challenge lol.

This is what I came up with...

I've used Sweet Treat Billie from the recently release Billie Bear digi collection and colored her with my Copics. I added Fluffy Stuff sprinkled lightly with glitter to the frosting before fluffing it with my heat tool and more glitter to her heart. I embossed a piece of white cs with a birthday embossing folder and stitched it all together then added the sumptuous red check ribbon. 

I swithered whether to add Glossy Accents to the cherry which I didn't but I think I'm going to before I send the card to it's recipient ;-D

The cherry definitely needs GA!

To keep the theme going I stitched a cupcake border to the inside :-D

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

Nicole finished work on Sunday and is officially on maternity leave yayyyyyy!!! What????? Didn't I tell you??? I'm going to be a GRANDMA....in less than 3 weeks!!!!! At her last hospital visit the baby's head wasn't engaged (although she thought she would go at any time...wishful thinking me thinks lol) and the baby's back was to hers. Now anyone that has given birth this way, me included (with Nicole) knows this is excruciatingly painful (I heard one of the nurses saying I sounded like I was being murdered!) ....especially when your doctor wants a screaming baby and thinks Demerol is sufficient pain relief (yup...that's what my Dr thought)!!! Bouncing on a birthing ball was suggested so off she went, bought one and proceeded to bounce away (unfortunately it didn't trigger labor) and it paid off in more ways than one. The baby has turned AND the head is now engaged!!!!! OMG...I'm thinking I'm going to be a grandma ANY DAY NOW lol. Nic is absolutely terrified about the whole birthing thing so she had a crash course last night in hypno-birthing which she said helped a great deal and made Ben feel more included :-D A friend asked me what I wanted to be called...when I said Grandma she said that sounded too old so then I suggested Kerry but that didn't impress so we played about with names and came up with Kiki or Glamma lolololol. 

Anywho, I've got a bizzy day ahead...communion invites to finish, place names to start, a house to tidy...a woman's work is never done {sigh}

Hope you have a brilliant day!

Catch ya later x
