MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cards As Promised
I did up a gift pack this afternoon of 5 cards - in French for a friend of mine. I wanted something simple that she would enjoy.

New Store and New Catalogue
I apologize greatly for not posting much lately. I've been a busy elf getting card packs ready for Christmas. I don't want to publish pictures since that will let the cat out of the bag and spoil the Christmas surprise for those receiving card packs!
I wanted to let you know about my new store! I have been using "Shophandmade.com" but have switched over to using a new blog to sell my cards. If you click on the "Ladybug Designs" logo to the right of this blog it will take you directly do the new site where you can directly purchase my cards using paypal. The cards are all priced in $CAD.
I will be adding new cards over the next few days as I get some pictures taken of my stock so please be patient as I get this new site up and running.
I also want to let you know that the Stampin' UP! Occassions catalogue will be arriving in mailboxes shortly and will be available online January 4th. It is full of fabulous new products and as you may have heard SU! will be introducing acrylic blocks in this catalogue! I'm pumped.
I will post some cards for you tomorrow!

Sketch Challenge 255
I needed a card to send to my aunt who just found out she's going to be a grandma! I'm very excited for her and thought this week's sketch challenge would provide the perfect template to work from. I find baby cards the hardest to make - especially if they need to be gender neutral! I gave it my best shot and hope she enjoys the results!
Supplies:
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Patterned Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink
Stamps: Nursery Necessities, A wheel who's name escapes me!
Accessories: Flowers, Brads
Mojo Monday 113
Here are my Mojo Monday cards. I have used up my Sympathy cards (which actually makes me very sad) and so decided to make a new one up. Wedding cards are always fun to make and have on hand.

Sketch Challenge 254
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I finished up my "Sketch Challenge" card a few days ago and am finally sitting down to post. I like Roxie's sketch again this week. You'll see though that I rotated the card since I couldn't get it to work the other way. I need a few more Christmas cards so thought I would use this challenge to complete the collection!
Thanks for looking!

Card Sketch Challenge
So here is today's sketch...you can do whatever design you want and even change the sketch up a little...this is just to get you started.

Supplies:
Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Merry Moments DSP
Stamps: Season of Simple Grace, All Holidays
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Garden Green
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Snowflake button

Mojo Monday 109
I'm pretty impressed that it's Tuesday and I'm posting my Mojo Monday card! I have been feeling rather uncreative lately and had a hard time coming up with a card to go with this week's sketch.
I've added in this week's sketch so you can see where I start from and can try to come up with some cards of your own.
I haven't made baby cards recently and needed to have a few on hand so this is what I've come up with. The waves are created using the punched out piece from the Scallop Border Bunch. I inked them with Blue Bayou Ink (Retired) to make them stand out a bit more. You can also cut waves freehand or use scallop-edged scissors.
Supplies:
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou, Whisper White, Patterned Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou, So Saffron
Stamps: Nursery Necessities
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Scallop Border Punch, Brown Brads

Christmas Wish Lists
If you're like me, you like to receive gifts that you REALLY want for Christmas. I love getting card making or scrapbooking supplies. I usually have a list of items that I don't want to buy myself but would love to find under the tree.
If you have browsed through a copy of the Stampin' Up! catalogue or the Holiday Mini and think there are a few things in there that make your heart beat faster, jot them down and send them to me. I can work with you to create your perfect holiday wish list.
Things I need to know:
- Your name
- Item (s) and item codes
- Circulation List (who you want the list sent to)
- Special dates you want the list to be circulated for
It's quite simple and really - aren't card making supplies the gift that keeps on giving??!!!!
Wish Lists need to be submitted to me by October 31st so that I can ensure all orders arrive in time for the holidays.
Please send wish list information to:
ladybugdesigns1@gmail.com
Challenge cards...finally!
I have three challenge cards plus an extra one I made up. I'm slow but they're done!
Last week's Sketch Challenge is first (SC249).
Accessories: Orange Ribbon and brads
Supplies:
I "cased" this Halloween card because I like how clean and simple it is. I like clean and simple - they're usually quick and easy and since I usually only have nap time to make cards I tend to gravitate towards things that are quick and easy...I must admit my home decor is quite the same...!
