Challenge 2 - Halloween and/or favourite embellishment

First of all can I just say a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered our first challenge.

273 entries!!!!!  What can I say but WOW, I never expected to get so many ;o)  It has been amazing to look through everyone's amazing craft projects - so many talented people out there.

The winner of challenge one and the top three will be announced on Thursday ( we've got to try and pick the top three out of everyone - an almost impossible task )

So, on to challenge 2, which this month is;

Halloween and/or your favourite embellishment

I know that Halloween isn't as big over here in the UK as in the States but there are some amazing Halloween images out there which are really fun to craft with. However, if you don't fancy the Halloween theme you can just stick to your favourite embellishment but please mention what it is in your post ;o)  The design team have produced some great projects again so I hope they will inspire you to give the challenge a go.  This months prize will be another £15.00 voucher to spend online at Ladybug Crafts .

First Challenge - Anything Goes ;o))

Well hello everyone - if all has gone well this post should appear at midnight on the 1st September  (if not it will be a little bit late LOL).

Welcome to our first Ladybug Challenge !!!

The prize for the first challenge is a £15.00 voucher to spend on anything from the Ladybug Crafts website.

I thought we would start with an Anything Goes challenge so people can do whatever they choose ;o)  I have to say a huge thankyou to the brilliant inspiration projects by the Ladybug design team - they are really stunning and I hope you'll pop over to their blogs and have a look at the rest of their amazing work!  So, here are the projects from the design team ladies;

Eileen

using La Blanche butterfly stamp

Gaynor

Vick

Sharon

using Unity - Happiness is... stamp

Sue

using La Blanche - watch bird stamp.

I love all of these so much and I know you will too!!  I hope these have inspired you to have a go.
There are few rules apart from the maximum number of entries is 3 each.  You can make any sort of crafty project - it doesn't have to be a card, it can be a scrapbook layout, mixed media art - anything you like as long as you've crafted it ;o)
The winner will be picked by random number generator and then the design team and I will pick a top three who will get a button to post on their blog if they so wish ;o)
I hope you'll join in - everyone is welcome from beginners right through to advanced!!
I look forward to seeing all your works of art - the challenge runs for a month.
Have fun
