Ladybug Crafts Challenge - Christmas and/or Winter

Good Morning to you all, my wonderful creative friends

It's the weekend at last, yippee!!!!It's also the 1st of December so that means the start of a new Ladybug Crafts Challenge

The prize for the winner (picked by random number generator) will be a £15.00 voucher to spend online at Ladybug Crafts . (and as it's Christmas there might be a second winner who will receive a £10 voucher to spend online too))


I decided to use a stamp that I bought in the sales earlier this year. I love this image and will be using it again soon (yes I still have lots more Christmas cards to make!)
