Ladybug, ladybug ...

A good Monday morning to all! I haven't been very productive in making cards these last few days. I was occupied with making a gate. (What's that, you say? You can read about it at the end of this post if you're interested.)

Anyway I managed to get at least one card done. Finished this one last night.

This card was done using this wonderful sketch provide by Heidi for the Friday Sketchers #53

challenge.

I'm using the Tilda with Ladybug image from the Chasing Butterflies Collection--she's just sooo.... adorable.

I also remembered that I have a similar stamp from Penny Black with a hedgehog holding a ladybug. So I've added that image to the card and made this card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge also. Their Challenge 50 for this week is: Buttons Galore.

And I've done the inside of the card this way.

Now to that gate I was talking about. You can skip this part by the way-- nothing to do with cards. I have a small garden plot in a community garden, measured 4 feet x 12 feet. There are 5 sections of about a dozen plots in each. My plot is in Section 5. Each section is fenced in, but there's a garden gate that you go through. Our gate was literally falling apart and I've volunteered to make a new gate, as I'm somewhat handy with a hammer and nails. (I wonder whose bright idea that was!!!! LOL) Anyway, that's what I've been busy with these past few days.

I've taken a picture of the new gate. I took it at an angle so my plot is showing in the background. It's the one with that huge bush of rhubarbs (in front of the car) and you can see the purple flowers from the chives.

Well, I did say you can skip this part.

Have a wonderful day. I'm off to work!
