Morning all.
Sadly (again) it has been a couple of weeks between posts. I cannot believe how far behind I am. Time is fleeting, it evaporates and you play catch up constantly. I hope I am not the only one that is caught in this time warp!!??
This is what I gave to my niece (Jessica) for her birthday in APRIL!! (yes I am that far behind!!!) She was 2...where does the time go?? We were lucky enough to catch up with her in a park. All the pics taken were done in pursuit of a VERY energetic 2yo. This is Jess now.....
Her gift actually inspired my card. Anyone with a child under 7yo will be familiar with "Pillow Pets". They are insanely cute and have different characters. I chose a ladybug for Jess. Once again though...I ran out of time to make something appropriate to match. Fete however kindly intervened!! Before I started stamping, I made cards from all sorts of things. I stumbled across the lightweight wooden cutouts and mounted them up very basically. I simply added the number to the card I already had made and woo hoo!!!
The number I felt kept up the "dotty" theme of the ladybug.
Here are the gift and card together...kinda sweet I hope??
Thanks for popping by. I do love reading your thought and comments so much and appreciate the time taken to leave them.

You're definitely not the only one caught in the time warp. Some days I just don't know where time goes! Perhaps an age thing? Hmmmm....
How absolutely adorable is that pillow pet! OMG I LOVE! Your matching card (whether intended or not) is perfect.
For me I can't wait for the month to be over, then i can end the madness of a posting a day challenge, its far too hard!
On a bright side I love your card and gift, I have such a soft spot for ladybugs, and yours are so super cute, I love them xx
Hi Lynda
I found your blog via Debbie P's blog and I really like what I see. I love your style of card making and cant wait to see some more. hugs x
How adorable, Lynda! I am so amazed at your creativity! And to think you were such a nervous blogger a couple of years ago! Gorgeous, gorgeous! Where did you find that fun lady bug! Hugs xxx
I do so love the ladybird and wish that I had small children still to make these cards for. No - only have adult and teenage grandsons now! Really cute card (and gift).
OMG so very very cute and so much talent!!! Your sets are always spectacular!!
